I had an amazing experience with Blushing Bride Glam for my wedding day hair and makeup. Communication with Maddie was excellent - she was always very responsive, friendly, and clear in our messages leading up to the big day. Since I had a destination wedding, we weren't able to do a hair/makeup trial beforehand but that didn't end up being an issue at all. Maddie was a total pro and made me and my bridesmaids feel relaxed and beautiful. She kept everything fun and calm while working her magic. The final look for all of us honestly exceeded my expectations - everything was sheer perfection down to the smallest details. Maddie is so talented and really cares about each client. I couldn't recommend Blushing Bride Glam highly enough for any bride's most special day!

Anna and Jules were the most perfect photographers for our wedding day. If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! From the moment we first spoke, they were prompt, easy to work with, and incredibly friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing and unmatched - they captured the true beauty and intimacy of our wedding, never getting in the way but always there to document every important moment. Anna and Jules made me feel special at every turn, and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph us that day. Anna also photographed our engagement pictures so we knew we were in good hands from the start. She was incredibly helpful with planning our wedding day and bringing our vision for our wedding pictures to life. We will definitely be using them again for our other big life moments, and I can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers they can trust completely.

At Treehouse Studios, I believe your wedding photos should feel like your memories — full of emotion, connection, and life.

My packages aren’t limited by strict time constraints; they’re designed around the moments you want to remember most, allowing space for authenticity, laughter, and all the little in-between moments that matter most.

Treehouse Studios Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From the start, their communication style was fun, professional, and creative. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the photos they captured were detailed, professional, and exceeded our expectations. One example of how they contributed to our special day was that the photographer made sure to get couple shot with our direct family members who we had forgotten to include. Additionally, the sneak peeks we received were gorgeous and came promptly. We were greatly impressed by the value of their services, as the pricing was very reasonable for the amazing photos they delivered. I would highly recommend Treehouse Studios Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of northern Michigan, our outdoor ceremony space offers stunning panoramic views with the privacy you desire.

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Does not have a dance floor
Words can't express how perfect our wedding was at Timberlee Hills this June. But as a start, the venue is breathtaking, and the team works hard to maintain it and make it a perfect spot for ceremonies and receptions. Jessie is the kindest, most hard-working person—she handles everything and makes it look easy. We were able to stop by a couple times before the day to take measurements and see the space, and Jessie answered every question we asked in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding, not enough can be said about just how smoothly everything went, and we did not have a wedding coordinator, so it was truly Jessie and her team running everything. Someone from Timberlee was there at every turn, guiding vendors and guests, helping us transition to the reception, even carrying a table for us to place drinks on when we were getting photos. The getting ready space for the bridal party is amazing and spacious, and the guests loved the view, the games, and the bonfire. There were so many seemingly small things Timberlee did for us that I'll never forget. Timberlee is such a special place, and I could go on and on, but it really was the most beautiful and joyous day.

I've seen a lot of stylists attempt this, but not quite get it but Cathy is the QUEEN of the classic waves, among MANY other styles. I will always always recommend her to my couples! She is so personable and professional. I love seeing her instagram posts! She really is so talented.

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

Her attention to detail and ability to freeze special moments in time is just incredible. Before the wedding, Alexis was in constant contact with us, and on the day of, her calm presence helped reassure my wife when her anxiety started to get the best of her. When I needed to make a last-minute change, Alexis was incredibly reassuring and helped me work through it. We really appreciated the time she spent with us going over specific shots we wanted, as well as her suggestions for other unique angles and perspectives. Compared to some of our friends who paid almost 15,000 for their wedding photography, Alexis' work and value is unmatched. In fact, I even suggested she consider raising her prices (after our wedding, of course!). Overall, Alexis Brianne Photography exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Rayan Anastor Photography

Traverse City, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

If you’re trying to decide to have a videographer at your wedding, let me tell you from experience, DO IT! And in our experience, we had the best! Lina’s team works together seamlessly and wonderfully to help you feel comfortable so you can just be yourselves and have them capture the most important day of your lives as a couple. We were not going to initially have a videographer (weddings are expensive, right?! we were looking to cut costs). I am so so grateful we had her to capture our day. Her videos captured a certain joy and rawness that we will be able to rewatch and relive (and have our kids sit through one day ) Having moving picture and audio to capture emotions that are so present on the day you choose to commit to a life together forever is priceless.

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. I got engaged in 2019 and married on May 15, 2021. I’m a wedding planner myself, so I had a lot of my timelines done early on, but Planning through a pandemic had a lot of ups and downs while working around all the state guidelines. Lisa was amazing in helping come up with ideas to help make something work in case we ultimately had to go a different route. We lucked out and got to have a wonderful day. Lisa and her second shooter (husband) put the group at ease and was wonderful posing all of us. Her pictures turned out more than we could ever imagine. So many people compliment us on all of them. I highly recommend her to anyone.

We'll turn your reception into a "real" real party: the kind where your guests hobble home sore drenched from dancing too much thinking "What did we just experience?" We are entertainers. We will read the room and plug into you and your guests tastes. We will even get your grandma grooving. We will arrive extra early, have everything dialed in, and give you and your guests the party they deserve. We have fun.

DJ Parker Marshall, was certainly one of the highlights of Lydia and I’s special day. From the moment he began the evening with quiet and soft jazz music for the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres hour, he was able to match the energy of the night with ease. He even played some authentic Hispanic music to make sure my family heard something familiar and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend DJ Parker with so much faith for your special day. He even danced to some ABBA towards the end of the night and tastefully added a nice touch of performance “with the show”. Lydia and I couldn’t haven’t been happier with where he took us that night and are pleased to write this review open heartedly. Book him! Don’t think about it anymore, planning a wedding is tough, so move forward and make your event a success with Parker. - Lydia and Niel

Stafford's Perry Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was fast, transparent, and detail-oriented, putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process. Our coordinator, Angie, was an absolute joy to work with - she kept every vendor on track and ensured that our day was perfectly planned and executed. It’s clear she knows the wedding coordinating process at her venue like the back of her hand, any question I had was immediately cleared up and she was so honest and transparent about any thing I thought I wanted that she wasn’t sure would look good/work out well. The entire Perry staff were friendly, professional, and amazing hosts, making all 175 of our guests feel right at home. The food was to die for, the drinks were amazing. Our guests raved about it all night. The venue itself is beautiful and timeless, providing the ideal backdrop for our special day. We had the best night ever celebrating at the Perry Hotel, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of venue. They made my dream wedding a reality!!!!

Engagement, Microwedding and elopement photography is one of my biggest passions in my business! There is something so special about being there alongside you while capturing one of the most important days of your life. I am more than just your photographer on your wedding day, I'm there to help in any way that you need. From pinning flowers on the groomsmen, to bustling your dress.

From our very first interaction with Ellie, at EM Creative Photography, we knew it was going to be a pleasure to work with her. She was easy to communicate with, responding quickly to all of our questions, and was always open and transparent about her process. Ellie makes taking photos playful, easy, and fun! The quality of work was truly outstanding - the photos are vibrant, colorful, and capture all the special moments of our wedding day. (Ellie even did our engagement photos the year prior) She was also incredibly accommodating, working with us at multiple locations to get the perfect shots. We were thrilled with the final product and will absolutely be booking again for other life milestones.
