East Lansing, MI
  • Photojournalistic style

I am a portrait photographer based out of Mount Pleasant, Michigan but I also travel to the Chicago area for sessions as well. I feel blessed to have found my passion in life and my goal is to capture those special moments that you as a client will treasure forever...whether it be a couples first kiss or a child's infectious smile. I do my very best to make my client's feel comfortable and have a good time while being photographed because that's what it's all about. I consider myself a creative person and love working outdoors, which is why most of my sessions are outside. I look forward to working with you soon and love meeting new people!

Katie did an amazing job of capturing our day. We had posed as well as candid photos that all looked high quality and professional. Nothing looked cheesy or forced. Thank my you for helping our memories last a lifetime!

The company's philosophy is rooted in authenticity, capturing the candid emotions and real connections that make your story unique. 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.

Hey there! Thank you so much for checking out my work! I'm a Michigan wedding & elopement photographer based out of the Lansing area but am available for travel wherever your heart desires.

She was so thoughtful in understanding our vision and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Olivia's work was warm, colorful, bright, and captured all the candid moments we wanted to remember.

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer focused on capturing genuine moments with a timeless, natural style. My goal is to create images that feel authentic, effortless, and true to each couple’s story.

I found Emma while advertising for Fall Photoshoots and she took amazing pictures for my then boyfriend and I. During these pictures, my then boyfriend proposed to me and it was a shock to Emma and I. The photos that she took were absolutely amazing even with the big surprise that occurred. We had Emma take our engagement pictures, as well as our wedding photos. Once again, these pictures exceeded all our expectations!! Emma has photographed different life events of my husband and I throughout this past year, and I can 100% say that she will continue to grow with us. Long story short, Emma is not only an amazing photographer, but also an individual who cares about their community. I will continue to recommend Emma to anyone who is looking for a photographer!!

Ali Cushing Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves East Lansing, MI

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based/working anywhere, visual storyteller who captures the authentic experience with intention. It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

Arie's professionalism and creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses and settings while allowing us to showcase our personalities. Our original plan did not go as planned.

Big fan of dive bars, staring at the stars, forever searching for the best french fries, a blissfully cold Diet Coke, and a true midwestern why fly it's only 15 hours. You'll find me often traveling, spending time in nature, collecting rocks and shopping for vintage t-shirts. I love carefree messy in between moments, photographing my daily life on polaroids and film. I've lived a lot of places (Arizona, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico to name a few!) and have so many places that I treasure and feel at home.

We added film photos onto our package and absolutely loved how they turned out. Jessica also captured polaroid pictures throughout the wedding that we got to look at the next day, which was so much fun. It's so hard for us to pick our favorite pictures to get framed, we love them all! Jessica is a true pro and an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a sneak peak of our wedding photos a few days after the event and received the full gallery within the expected timeframe. We absolutely loved working with Jessica Max and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding!

Hi there! My name is Tonya, it’s great to meet you! I am a mom to two kiddos who loves capturing memories. If you’re here, that means congratulations are in order on your engagement! Wedding planning, while stressful, is such an exciting journey leading to the start of your lives together. My hope is to capture those moments for you to relive over and over again throughout your lives. I have been photographing weddings since 2018. It’s a joy that I can’t put into words. Seeing two people love one another, capturing the creativity of each individual and unique wedding, it’s something I love having the opportunity to do!

Tonya was incredible. I got engaged December 2019 and was looking to book a photographer pretty early on. Then the pandemic began and my plans changed, slowly at first, then drastically. Tonya was caring and understanding of my situation even before i was an official customer. She kept my date closed in her books until i was finally able to pay in full. She's a very sweet person and so easy to get along with. She's versatile in her editing style and is great if you are looking for something "light and airy" or something a little more "moody". Booking Tonya was hands down the best decision i made with my wedding (second only to picking the man i married).

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.

I hired Kate for a personal branding shoot in 2018 and was so impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and final product that I’ve gone on to hire her over and over again throughout the years! Whether it has been for personal portraits, family photoshoots, or weddings, Kate delivers beautiful and natural-looking images that will stand the test of time. She’s also so pleasant to be around, offers wonderful posing suggestions, and makes the entire photoshoot a truly enjoyable process. I can’t recommend her more highly!

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!

Viewing them filled us with tears of joy and overwhelming love, as each beautifully captured memory transported us right back to the wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend JayDee and Pluvia Studios to anyone seeking top-quality photography and videography to capture their most cherished moments.

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

At Treehouse Studios, I believe your wedding photos should feel like your memories — full of emotion, connection, and life. I’m Karly, the photographer behind the lens, and my approach is all about storytelling with intention. I’ve spent over a decade learning how to anticipate needs before you even say them — from adjusting timelines to pinning boutonnieres — so your day flows effortlessly. 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.

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

Chettara made everything so easy. She made us feel confident when deciding to book with her or not, answering questions and being completely transparent in packaging her services. Leading up to the wedding she only reached out when necessary, allowing us to focus on everything else. Day of, she was early to explore the venue, finding locations for later; in place for every planned and unplanned moment; and the most comforting and reassuring photographer. We were glad to have booked Chettara but once we received the photos we were over the moon with happiness in our selection!
