I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING A
UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!
I offer wedding photo packages for adventurous, genuine and joy-filled couples, utilizing the both candid, natural and posed styles to document the
WHOLE STORY OF YOUR DAY, WITH DREAMY, BRIGHT AND AIRY IMAGES!
My favorite part of being a wedding photographer in Michigan, is connecting with my amazing couples,
highlighting their love stories, and providing them with a joy-filled, deep experience and allowing them to walk away with galleries that capture the heart of their day. The Upper Peninsula and the Great Lakes region offers so much natural beauty that creates the perfect backdrop for my couples' love stories, and I am beyond blessed to be part of that story!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OTTER RIVER IMAGES:
Booking 2025and 2026*
Its surreal to think that we are already looking ahead to the 2025 wedding season and I am here for it! One of the most important aspects of your wedding day is booking your photographer and I am here for every step of the planning process.
For 2025 my package offerings and packages are changing slightly. I am moving to a more full-day aspect as it captures the heart of your day from start to finish and the up to 8 hour timelines allow for my couples to slow down and take in each moment without feeling rushed. You won't get this day back-so relax, enjoy family and friends and each other and dance the evening away while I capture each precious moment as it unfolds.
If you are planning an elopement or micro wedding in the western Upper Peninsula area-keep reading, I have an option available for you! (Keep scrolling down!)

FAQ
Do you offer a second shooter?
While I typically am the primary photographer and photograph on two camera bodies at all times so we don't miss a shot, I do bring a second shooter along to 99% of my 8 and 10 hour wedding packages so we get that extensive photography coverage you will love. When I do bring a second shooter, this is at no charge to any of my clients.
How soon will my images be ready?
I do sneak peeks within 24 hours post wedding day and full gallery delivery within 30 days via a private emailed link to your own online gallery where you can download and use your images as you wish.
How soon should I book?
At this time, bookings are coming in very fast for 2024 and I highly suggest booking your favorite vendors as soon as possible! 2024 is projected to be a big year for weddings and I would love to be able to squeeze you in on my calendar!
Do you travel?
Yes!!! I am open to new adventures not just in Michigan but in most of the upper Midwest (think Wisconsin, Minnesota, lower Michigan, etc). When using the inquiry form, please indicate the potential location of your wedding so I can give you the best quote!
Are engagement sessions included?
For my 8 and 10 hour packages, I do have a super sweet offer for couples who book this that package-inquire to get all the details!! Trust me, you're not going to want to miss this. Be sure to ask!
