Kate English Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Ionia, MI

When asked when I first knew I wanted to be a photographer, it's hard to pinpoint a specific time, as I feel I have always had an eye for photography. From ripping up magazines, photoshoots with friends, the rise of Tumblr & Instagram, to taking a 35mm black & white film photography class in high school, going on to get my BFA in photography, and establishing my business - photography is truly in everything I do. I have been photographing weddings for over 7 years now. My work is a combination of unfiltered documentary, funky fashion editorial, and timeless fine art with a modern twist.

Kate is wonderful, very professional and knowledgeable. She made our whole family very comfortable and relaxed. The photo shoot was so much fun and the results were outstanding We would highly recommend Kate English Photography…wonderful experience

By blending a documentary approach with an editorial eye, your images will feel both timeless and deeply personal, edited with true-to-life color.

Taylor consistently goes above and beyond to prioritize the comfort and experience of the bride and groom. One moment that stood out was when the bride began to overheat during outdoor photos. Without hesitation, Taylor offered her personal travel fan to help the bride cool down—an item she carries not out of obligation, but because she genuinely cares. This thoughtful gesture, though small, speaks volumes about her character and sets her apart from others in her field. What truly makes Taylor exceptional is her attention to the emotional dynamics of the day. At one point, a member of the bridal party appeared visibly disgruntled. Taylor subtly picked up on the tension and addressed it with such grace and discretion that it didn’t disrupt the flow of the celebration or the photo timeline. Her ability to read the room and respond with professionalism ensures the couple’s day remains smooth, joyful, and stress-free. Overall, Taylor’s thoughtful nature, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients make her an outstanding choice for any special occasion. Her pricing is more than fair for the level of care, professionalism, and quality she delivers. From the smallest moments to the biggest milestones, Taylor captures it all with heart and precision. Anyone would be beyond satisfied in trusting her to document their most meaningful memories.

Arrae Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Ionia, MI

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

At True Colors, we believe your wedding story deserves to be captured with heart, artistry, and authenticity. We specialize in timeless photography and cinematic video that reflect the real emotions, beautiful moments, and true colors of your day. Our team works closely with every couple to create a relaxed and personalized experience—so you can enjoy your celebration while we preserve it beautifully, frame by frame.

I was nervous that our photos would look fake or that the video would be too staged. But honestly it felt like they captured the REAL us. The silly faces, the inside jokes, even the way we looked at each other when we didn’t think anyone was watching. That’s what makes it so special. I cried watching the video because it felt like a real story of our love, not just a highlight reel. They didn’t miss a thing, from the small details like the rings on the table to the huge moments like our first kiss as husband and wife. My family said it looks like something from a movie, but at the same time it’s just real life, which is even better. Even the dance floor chaos looked like pure joy in the pictures. I’m so grateful, because now I know I’ll never forget a single thing from that day.

HEY! I'm Liv Lyszyk Maxwell (pronounced LY-zick, blame it on my Polish and Ukrainian roots) and I am a 20-something wedding and portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most days you can find me designing for my other business Liv Lyszyk Prints, wearing leggings (I don't do zippers), and eating too much sushi. I spend my time fighting for equity in the interest of all marginalized groups. I am always looking for my next travel adventure whether that be to a new town on lake Michigan, or half way around the world, I want to see it all.

My wife and I chose Liv for our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier! We decided on Liv because they are are part of the LGBTQ community and has experience with capturing queer weddings. We also love Liv’s photography style and how they are able to capture the sweet moments so beautifully. Our photos turned out so fun and colorful and totally captured the essence of the day. You can feel the emotions within them which take us right back to those special moments. We’ve had several of our vendors use our wedding photos on their websites and even got published in a local queer magazine. We have many of our photos printed and framed around our house and the quality is exceptional! We will always recommend Liv as they are a joy to work with! They showed up on our wedding day ready to work and capture the day with a big smile and full of enthusiasm. They were a joy to be around and made everyone comfortable for photos. We got many more live action photos vs posed photos, which I prefer. Liv is truly great and my wife and I couldn’t be happier!

Soul Stories Photography

Soul Stories was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. We’re Sena and Shelton, a husband-and-wife duo based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, capturing weddings across the Midwest and beyond. For us, photography isn’t just about the picture — it’s about the story within it. We blend fine art detail with genuine emotion to create timeless images that feel alive, so when you look back years from now, you don’t just remember how it looked — you remember how it felt.

From the moment we first spoke with the team at Soul Stories Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographers. Their communication style was professional, charismatic, and calming, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work is truly top-tier and one-of-a-kind - the photos they captured are so personal and unique, perfectly reflecting the joy and love of our special day. They stepped in to help without hesitation when a couple things went awry, and their warm presence helped calm my nerves and allowed me the space to take a much-needed breather when I was feeling overwhelmed. You two mean the world to us. Thank you for making our day so special through your incredible talent and for just being exactly who you are.

Lauren Perrin Photo

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Ionia, MI

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We all know that hiring vendors for your wedding is stressful, but Lauren was stress free and my BEST choice! She communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and helped me iron out all the details surrounding the big day. As someone who didn’t use a wedding planner, this was huge for me because I had no idea what I was doing. Lauren helped me through this by providing some timeline templates, and answered any questions that came up (even if it didn’t relate directly to photography). Aside from planning, I knew I had made the right choice when we shot our engagement photos. Obviously the final product is why you hire a photographer, but Lauren provided high quality photos AND a great experience! My husband does not like his photo taken and will usually morph into a toddler who throws tantrums when asked to stand in front of a camera for too long - but not with Lauren. We had so much fun shooting with her, she really made it an awesome experience and my husband actually enjoyed himself! For our wedding day we had exactly the same experience, just on a much larger scale. We had a few last minute changes to the plan, and Lauren made sure that for every sacrifice that was made, that there was no detail or photo opportunity missed. She even spent 20 minutes in a broom closet with my mom and I to try to get my bustle buttoned before the dances. Everyone who interacted with Lauren on that day had nothing but great things to say about their experience working with her, and she was absolutely my favorite vendor on my wedding day. Our photos were sent to us before the date they were promised by and they are absolutely PERFECT. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Lauren is phenomenal at what she does, but more than that she is an amazing person. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend by working with her and I will never use another photographer to capture my memories. I’m so lucky to have found her, and if you get the opportunity to do so I would 1,000,000% recommend it!

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

I LOVE, LOVE. IT’S QUITE SIMPLE REALLY. THE BEST MOMENTS ARE UNPREDICTED, CANDID AND RAW. WHEN LAUGHTER IS SO STRONG THAT YOUR BELLY ACHES, OR WORDS ARE SO SWEET THAT TEARS ARE MADE.. CREATING MAGIC WITH HUMANS WHO SEE LOVE AND LIGHT AS POWERFULLY AS I DO… THAT’S WHAT I LIVE FOR.

My experience with Lexi Lauren Photography for my wedding was beyond amazing. She is so great at making the photos fun and directing for the best results. She gets tons of great photos that it makes it impossible to pick a favorite. She is easy to schedule times with and communicates well via email and phone. The day of the wedding she made sure to get the photos we asked while also allowing us enough time to mingle during cocktail hour. She helped keep our flow during the wedding day and optimize time. We loved receiving the Polaroids at the end of the night and our sneak peeks from our wedding day came quickly and we have already received so many compliments! I will continue to use her for future family sessions and would recommend her for any situation but especially for weddings.

What really drew me to her was her background in the arts and the fact that she’s truly skilled in photography—not just someone with a camera, but a real artist. Her style is so refreshingly authentic; the photos aren’t overly edited or forced. Instead, she captured our day exactly as it felt—joyful, emotional, and real. Every photo tells a story, and flipping through them feels like being right back in those moments.

I'm Sydney, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids and the owner of Sydney Marie Photography. I've been photographing weddings since 2012 and have captured over 300 celebrations across the state—including Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland, and everywhere in between. I started in photography in 2008 and now travel all over Michigan (and beyond) to document weddings with a timeless, true-to-life style. My approach is hands-on from start to finish, ensuring every couple feels supported and every moment is captured beautifully and professionally.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!

Hey, I’m Kaitlin 👋 I’m a Michigan-based wedding photographer here for the real stuff—messy happy tears, belly laughs, and all the in-between moments you don’t even realize are happening. My vibe? Laid-back, a little cinematic, and a lot of fun. Think of me as part hype girl, part third wheel with a camera, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and totally yourself. The end result? Photos that look just as good as the day felt.

Kaitlin was absolutely the best photographer we could have asked for! We are not big photo people and definitely don’t typically feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was so accommodating and if something didn’t feel right/like us she’d pivot to something else. Her photos are absolutely stunning and really captured the essence of our day!

With a little over 6 years of experience in the industry, I really care about getting good quality photos and videos to you within a reasonable budget!
