Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Jasmine, she made it clear she wanted to understand exactly what we were looking for. We had multiple meetings before the big day, and each one made us feel more confident about our choice. On our wedding day, she was fantastic about keeping us on schedule and made sure both of us felt comfortable in front of the camera. She worked fantastic with our videographer after just meeting him that day as well. She listened to what we wanted and guided us through poses so we looked our best in every shot. The photos turned out incredible, she truly cares about capturing your special day the way you envision and want it. We couldn't be happier with Jasmine (JSphotos) and feel so lucky to have found her. I would recommend her to every one that wants a stress free day and beautiful photos to remember such a special moment/day.

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lynzee is incredible! We had the easiest, best, most amazing experience with her for both our engagement session and wedding day. She genuinely cares and it shows through her photos! You will not regret having Lynzee on your side for your special day!

At Kali Britton Photo I believe photography is more than images. It is the art of preserving the beauty of life’s most meaningful moments. I specialize in weddings and portraits, creating timeless editorial imagery filled with emotion and detail. From places like Detroit, Mackinac Island, Greencrest Manor, and beyond, I capture stories with care and artistry. Beyond the camera I am a wife, a mother, and traveler who sees the world in photographs. My passion is creating heirlooms that allow you to relive your story for generations.

From the moment we booked Natural By K.Britton for our wedding, she was easy to work with and responsive to all of our questions.

Hi, I’m Taylor Zinn! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Harrison, Michigan, a cozy little town right in the heart of the mitten. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up the chaos and joy of life with my husband of 12 years and our two kiddos (ages 4 and 10). I live for salty ocean air, hot tea, and the dream of one day finishing my very ambitious book collection. Around here, The Office reruns are a staple (as soon as Bluey wraps up, of course). Let’s make some magic together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Taylor absolutely crushed it on our wedding day! From start to finish, she went above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for in a photographer. Not only did she capture every single detail beautifully, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly — almost like a mini-wedding planner for Meghan and me. Her calm presence and organization made such a difference in helping us actually enjoy the day. Taylor’s aesthetic is stunning — a true-color, elegant style that perfectly reflects the natural beauty of the moment. We’ve received countless compliments on our photos from friends and family, and even several guests commented during the wedding about how great she was to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and managed to capture so many genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive. We were also so impressed with how quickly she delivered our preview gallery — it was such a joy to relive the day so soon after! Taylor also did our engagement photos, which she absolutely killed, and it made us even more confident that our wedding photos would be incredible (and they were!). I can’t recommend Taylor enough — she’s talented, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, Taylor M Zinn Photography is the one.

We are committed to helping people find their voice and tell their unique stories through photography! Every story is unique and it is our goal to get to know you so that we can document your story authentically. If you're looking for super posed photos of your day, that's okay but Im probably not the best fit! But if youre a fun-loving couple that oozes chemistry and can't keep your eyes (or hands) off of each other, and you want that captured genuinely, I'm your girl!

What can I say other than they are ‘outstanding’ having you both capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever, is SO incredibly special. The dream team duo! I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. I cannot recommend them more to be at the top of your guest list. Not only were the quality of the photos perfect, the communication was the BEST. They really helped move our timeline along and stayed on top of everything and really captured the day the way I saw it. I have never been so happy to have them on our team, thank you so much!

Cheleana is an amazing photographer and helped make our day go so smooth and captured all our beautiful moments! From the very beginning my husband and I felt great booking with Chel! She met with us and had multiple touch points with us between the time we booked with her and our wedding date. Our engagement session went so well and we were so happy with the photos so we really looked forward to continuing to work with her during the wedding. She stayed in touch and was really hands on as we got closer to the date, making sure she was connecting to the other vendors if needed and just offering her help if we needed anything and answering any questions we may have had as we got closer to the date. On our wedding day she was such a calming presence and really helped the day go smooth! She helped corral all of our friends and family to get great pictures and just really made the day so great. We have a large, loud family and she was still able to help keep the day on time and capture everything we had wanted. She delivered sneak peaks quickly - much more than we were expecting for a sneak peak - and we can’t wait to see the rest! If you want to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, helps hype you up and keeps the day running smoothly Chel is the one to hire! She’s amazing!

My husband and I are so thankful we found her, she’s our photographer for life! She took our maternity, wedding and newborn pictures of our daughter and they all came out so beautifully. I’m super awkward when it comes to taking photos and posing but she knew exactly how to get me out of my shell and make it so natural.

Hi, I'm Kendall, a portrait and wedding photographer based in Mid Michigan. As a photographer, I view every shoot as an opportunity to capture the beauty in the little moments- to make a masterpiece out of something that, to the naked eye, would seem mundane. My mission is to capture your story as beautifully as you've lived it through the perfect mix of a candid and editorial approach.

Kendall is the most down to earth and thoughtful photographer! She always made us feel comfortable during our wedding day, just by being herself and providing that positive radiant energy. She provided so much more than the most amazing photos. She provided expert timeline advice, laughs, and peace of mind during our big day. I also LOVED how natural all of the prompts made us feel espicially as a couple that gets anxious around the camera. Kendall and Tanner make such a perfect team (and are freaking adorable and hilarious together)! I am forever grateful to have found them and that I can call Kendall a friend after this wonderful journey together! Would not change a single thing ️

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!
