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 luxury weddings and portraits, creating timeless editorial imagery filled with emotion and detail. From Mackinac Island to grand estates I capture stories with care and artistry. Beyond the camera I am a wife, mother of seven, 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. On the day of the wedding, she was incredibly helpful, ensuring we stayed on schedule and captured all the special moments. The photos she delivered were absolutely beautiful, truly amazing and perfect. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work and how she helped make our wedding day so special.

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.

Mary Shelton Media

  • Serves Sanford, MI

Featured on Anti Bride, Today show and Modern Luxury Magazine. The couple who appreciates the classic elements of a wedding, while still wanting to do something unexpected. The couple who values both the ease of the digital camera, and the iconic and everlasting impact of the film camera.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

Mayah is the absolute best photographer in Chicago, and I couldn't recommend her and her team enough! Mayah was the very first vendor I booked when I began wedding planning as after I saw her portfolio I knew she would be able to capture our engagement and wedding photos exactly how we envisioned (and actually infinitely better than what we envisioned). From the first phone call with Mayah I felt confident and at ease that we was the best choice for us, and every text/email/call afterwards was an absolute joy. She is SO creative, genuine, and talented and she makes the photo experience FUN (even if you're camera shy like me and my husband :)). Her photography style seems to capture the uniqueness of each and every one of her couples as she truly takes the time to get to know them and their vision. 10000/10 recommend Mayah Lee Photography for any kind of photo needs you can imagine!

She is experienced, thorough, and goes the extra mile to ensure your day is captured to the fullest extent. We watch our video every year with our children, it’s truly the best piece of our wedding and we treasure it greatly.

I’m Sam, a wedding photographer known for thoughtful details, images that feel effortless, and a calm presence. I’ve been photographing weddings across the U.S. since 2011. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.
