Siri is an amazing traditional photograph. She did our winter engagement pictures and fall wedding. Both times she was professional, personable, and fun despite the -10° temps in the winter and the wind and mist in the fall. She really knows her stuff and almost doubles as a day of coordinator. She’s very patient with questions and making sure the timeline for the day of the wedding is just right. Thank you so much!

Siri is incredible!!! She photographed my wedding in October and the photos are outstanding. Even as someone who grew up in Traverse City we did not know where to begin with finding the right photographer. After just one phone call with my mom we knew she was the one. She was so much more than a photographer! She helped keep us on schedule and even fixed my wedding dress within seconds of finding it had a hole in it from alterations. She remembered all the photos that I wanted with certain family and friends. Not only is her work great but Siri is incredibly personable and makes you feel so comfortable. :) I could go on and on about just how wonderful she was.

We were married in the Traverse City area last summer. Siri is amazing. She helped me get organized before the wedding and was patient with all of my questions. During the wedding she kept me on my timeline. This was so important as time flies by on your wedding day! She was there to help us with anything extra that we needed. She captured all of our amazing moments and even stayed a bit later as we were having so much fun with our photo backdrop and props. Since we were not from the area it was also great to have someone that knows the area. She helped me find the salon I went to on my wedding day. Thank you Siri !! We will cherish the beautiful pictures you took !

We had the please of having Siri photograph our wedding a little over 7 years ago and just over 2 years ago take our maternity photos! Prior to my wedding Siri had photographed my cousins wedding and after looking at the pictures I decided Siri would be a perfect fit for what I was looking for in my wedding pictures. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding I was able to meet with Siri to go over what I was looking for in my wedding photos and to go through some of her previous clients wedding photos. Siri is very personable and easy going along with easy to get along with and made all correspondence and meetings very comfortable. She takes her job and capturing these important moments in our life very seriously and does a fantastic job! When it came to the wedding day she was there on time and ready to go. It was so nice on the day of the wedding not having to worry about if she was getting all the pictures I was looking for because we had discussed it all previously. She had such a good energy throughout the day and is really a free spirit and just makes everything so comfortable and flow. It was a great day and I have some fantastic pictures to remember that day by. Couldn't have asked for better!!! She also went on to photograph another cousins wedding if I remember correctly, along with a couple friends weddings and my little brothers wedding. His pictures turned out amazing as did my cousins and friends! Five years after our wedding we were excepting our first child and I really wanted to get some pictures done where our wedding pictures were taken. A couple places where we had our wedding pictures taken have a great deal of meaning to my husband and I along with our families and I thought there would be no better person than Siri, who had taken our wedding pictures at those places. Those pictures turned out absolutely amazing and I was so happy with those too! All in all I think she's a great photographer and is super easy to get along with and I would highly recommend her! Love you Siri!!!!! Thanks for all the amazing photos!

The idea of being photographed and being the center of attention all day long was not terribly appealing to me as I was planning our wedding. I cared very much about how our wedding photos turned out, but didn't really want to deal with taking hours and hours of pictures instead of being able to enjoy the party. Additionally, we live 1500 miles away from the location of our wedding and I was worried about being able to coordinate with my vendors long-distance. Luckily, all of my worries were alleviated when I first talked to Siri on the phone. And even more-so when we met in person and she gave me a great idea of a timeline and about how she organizes large groups and deals with other vendors. On the day of the wedding, she was flexible, but organized. She was thorough, but not intrusive. She was extremely helpful, but you might have thought she was one of the guests. More than anything, she totally respected my wishes regarding types of photos and timeline (I made it to at least half of my happy hour after the ceremony, which was a must!). The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and the process by which I was able to acquire my photos was so convenient and fast (and come in the most adorable packaging). I’m so happy Siri was such an important part of our wedding.

We loved working with Siri for our wedding in Traverse City. For us it was an out of town wedding and she made the planning and execution of our photos so easy on my end. She offered great ideas and support, and really helped pull together the day-of schedule. Her personality also adds to the value of the experience- very energetic, thoughtful, and witty! And most importantly, the quality of her pictures is fantastic. We're proud to display her work in our home and to share with others! I definitely recommend Siri!

Though it has been years since Siri captured our lakeside wedding, we still cherish the images and continue a relationship with her. She has been there to photograph all of our moments from the wedding day to family portraits as our little family grew. We highly recommend her to everyone we know! Thanks to Siri for helping to make our wedding day perfect and capturing such beautiful memories! When my 25th anniversary comes around, I will use her again. That's just 12 years from now!

We have now found our photographer that we will continue to use for all our family events, as we absolutely fell in love with Siri's energy and her creative and lovely eye for photography. From our initial coversations on the phone, to walking around our venue to find the ideal locations for our photos I knew her attention to detail was going to make all the difference, and it did. I cannot get enough of our photos, and am so in awe of each one. She was able to captivate all the important moments, and the true emotions of the day are felt in each of our photos. She knew exactly where the ideal spots were in our venue, even stealing my husband and I away during the reception to climb a hill because the lighting was perfect and these are some of my favorite pictures. I was also amazed at her willingness to help in other ways during the day. Although we had a wedding planner, I could see where Siri was used to helping the day progress smoothly as she kept us on track with timing and also with giving us helpful hints for making the day run flawlessly (which it did, thanks to her). Her friendly and upbeat nature was perfect for making all family members feel not only important, but also at ease. When initially trying to decide who to hire, we were unsure whether or not we needed to hire a second photographer. I can tell you with Siri, she is enough! She was able to captivate the feel of the day, and she did not miss one single important moment. My husband and I along with both sides of our family were so impressed that she could single handily get all the shots that she did, she completely amazed us. After our wedding she hand delivered not only our USB with all our photos, but also the photos that we had ordered from her. She is willing to go the extra mile, and we felt that she was truly a friend through the whole process. We absolutely love Siri, and when we have kids she will be our photographer through all our important milestones. And that's why I can say in full confidence that Siri is the top choice for photographers in Northern Michigan. I would recommend her to any bride who is looking for a photographer who can beautifully capture each special moment, and who will also add peace of mind during your most important day. Siri is simply the best.

If you are in need of a photographer for your wedding, do not hesitate to hire Siri! She goes above and beyond what is expected of a wedding photographer. Not only did she capture beautiful moments at our wedding, but she was a great help on our special day as well! We could not be more pleased!

We can't say enough good things about Siri. It was so nice to have a photographer who works a lot at our venue. She made sure we got the shots we wanted without spending the whole day in front of the camera. Her work is exceptional! Siri is very prepared...she even had a little emergency kit and helped me secure my dress since it was a little big. She is great with children. One of our flower girls was not very happy, and Siri somehow managed to get her to cooperate and be happy during pictures.
