Our wedding packages start at $3,995 and include eight hours of coverage, fully edited high resolution images and an online gallery where you and your guests can download and order prints. Most couples invest around $5,000. Reach out and we can talk through what works best for your day.

We are also offering custom shorter coverage packages for select non-Saturday dates in 2026, so if your budget is more limited it is always worth reaching out.

Most couples book their wedding photographer six to eighteen months in advance, especially for popular summer and fall dates in Michigan. Because we have two photographers on our team we can occasionally accommodate more than one wedding per date, so it is always worth reaching out even if you think we might be booked. The best way to find out if your date is available is to send us a message, it only takes a minute and we will get back to you quickly.

Honestly? The experience. Nearly 20 years of shooting weddings across Michigan means we have seen everything and know how to handle it. We bring a relaxed, fun energy to every wedding that puts couples, families and guests completely at ease. Our portrait sessions are creative and enjoyable, even the grooms who swore they hated photos leave saying it was their favorite part of the day! And our candid work is always a priority, we never stop watching, never stop looking, never miss a moment that matters. The reviews say it better than we ever could.

You would not believe how often we hear this and how often those same couples end up absolutely obsessed with their photos. Making people feel comfortable in front of a camera is one of the things we are most proud of. We give gentle direction so you never feel lost, we keep things fun and moving so there is no awkward dead time, and we have a way of making people forget there is a camera pointed at them at all. Some of our favorite photos have come from couples who swore they were the most unphotogenic people alive. You are in good hands!

We do and honestly we think every couple should do one. Not because you have to but because it is genuinely fun and it makes a huge difference on your wedding day.

By the time we show up to shoot your wedding you already know us, you are already comfortable in front of our camera and that shows in every single photo.

Plus you get a beautiful set of images in your everyday clothes which are more casual and relaxed.

Easy. Just reach out through our contact page and tell us a little about your wedding date and venue. We will get back to you quickly to chat about your day, whether that is over Zoom, email or whatever works best for you. If you are already ready to book, everything can be done completely online.

We are based in Grand Haven and shoot weddings all across Michigan. You will find us everywhere from Grand Rapids, Holland, Saugatuck and South Haven, St. Joe to Traverse City, Charlevoix, Glen Arbor, Ludington and up and down the lakeshore. We also serve the Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grosse Pointe and Detroit areas. If your wedding is in Michigan chances are we have shot there before.

There may be a small travel fee for weddings outside of a 2 hour driving radius from Grand Haven.
