Awarded Best of Zola
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Brittney! On the wedding day, she was calm, organized, and blended into the background while somehow capturing every single special moment. The photos are beyond stunning—authentic, emotional, and full of life. They didn’t just document the day, they told our story. She made sure to capture every shot I wanted and then some! She was on top of it!! We got soo many compliments on her day of and still do! If you’re looking for someone who gets it—who can balance artistry with real emotion and make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera—look no further.

Moments Captured By Vanessa

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Bad Axe, MI

I’ve been capturing weddings for over 20 years, and I still find myself falling in love with the magic of every single one. I actually started my journey at just 18 years old, and 600+ weddings later, my passion for storytelling has only grown. To me, wedding photography isn't just about the 'big' moments; it's about the love, the smiles, and the laughs that weave together to tell your unique story. My goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease so that your true personalities shine through in every frame.

Moments Captured By Vanessa was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Vanessa is friendly, prompt, and completely professional. Her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and she made sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, which happened to be one of the coldest days of December, Vanessa didn't miss a beat- capturing beautiful, heartfelt, and creative images that we will hold on to forever. The final photos were truly timeless and classic. We are also so grateful to have such gorgeous shots of our reception, including some stunning photos featuring Christmas lights in the background (which can't be accomplished by every photographer l!). Vanessa's talent, hard work, and passion for her craft were evident in every single image. We couldn't be happier with the service and value we received from Moments Captured By Vanessa.

The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise.

We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family.

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it 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. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

Choosing Carly was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! We were pretty nervous going into our engagement shoot because neither of us had much experience in front of a camera, but she put us at ease right away. She gave such clear, natural direction and turned what we thought would be an intimidating process into something effortless and fun. On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of incredible. She worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors, remained amazingly flexible and adaptable as the schedule shifted, and made the whole day run perfectly. To top it all off, we received our full photo gallery within just two weeks of the wedding, which was mind-blowing! Her talent, warmth, and professionalism are unmatched, and we could not recommend her more highly.

She was fantastic to work with from the very start, super responsive and professional, and when we got our engagement photos back - I knew we made the right choice!! I wanted photos that felt like real moments where when I saw them - I didn’t think of the pose and position, I thought of the emotions I was feeling and that was what she was able to capture! Our engagement shoot was so fun, and she was so flexible with our vision - meeting us in Lake Geneva, WI for a little bit of everything (lake photos with our dog, sharing an ice cream, and then photos of just myself and my now husband - cuddled up on a couch at a local coffee shop). Come wedding day - she was the perfect amount of letting moments happen naturally but also, making sure things we said were important to us as a couple were captured! Sometimes instead of doom scrolling on Instagram - I happily scroll through the photos she captured!
