The Wild Phern

work is so creative and absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t believe how well she captured the wedding makeup! I’d recommend her a million times over to my future brides for so many reasons.

he cake!! You will not be disappointed if you hire her for your big day.

rapher, is important to work beside reliable professionals. An amazing artist who can’t keep up with a timeline or other vendors, isn’t a good idea either. Fortunately, you won’t have that issue with her. And here is maybe one of the most important things about her: she’s an amazing human being. Check her portfolio, and if you line what you see (and you will), stop searching.

otos, and captures the true emotions on wedding days. As a wedding coordinator, we work to collaborate with each vendor, and she makes it so easy to do so! Loved working with her, and would recommend her to any couple looking for someone to capture their day!

ofessional and an incredible resource for getting the day-of on a clean timeline. We genuinely have not been able to put into words the incredible magic that Phern created with our engagement & wedding photos. She made the process so effortless and when we wanted her expertise she graciously took the burden of planning photos off of our never ending list of wedding needs. She always asked if there was anything we wanted, but came prepared with a plan if neither of us were sure. At our wedding Phern just blended into the background and was able to capture some of the most incredibly special candid moments of our wedding. So many of our loved ones have praised Phern’s ability to capture our wedding in the moment without us feeling like a star on a reality TV show (which was exactly what we asked & she delivered!). We are so obsessed with our photos and loved working with Phern. She made everything easy and we want to do it all over again!

xceptional. I’d hire again in a heartbeat !!!

up a call with me to see if we would be a good fit, to establish a relationship, and ensure she would be the right person to tell our story. She was professional and incredibly friendly. This was our first professional shoot and Phern made sure we were comfortable and directed us into stunning poses. We then hired her for our July 8th wedding! We asked her if we could do our real engagement photos on Mackinac Island. She was more than happy to follow us around on our tandem bike, and even hung out with us for the day. We gave her a lot of creative freedom with this shoot and the results blew us away! Some of our all time favorite pictures came from this session and we even landed on the Grand Hotel Instagram page! On the day of our wedding, it was like having a really good friend there to capture the best day of our lives. Phern kept us on schedule, worked very well with our videographer, made sure we had all of the family photos we asked for, and even helped me put deodorant on while in my dress. She also carried her step ladder the entire 8 hours she was there! She’s a beast!! Phern is worth every penny. I cannot recommend her enough!

enue manger, we love having Phern in the house because not only does she make our couples happy, she is professional, polite and efficient at what she does so our couples can relax and enjoy their special day!! 10/10 every time! Thank you Phern for being a true professional! We can’t wait to have you back!

n to detail left an indelible impression on both me and my partner. From the very beginning The Wild Phern took the time to understand our vision and preferences for our wedding album. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel instantly comfortable by allowing us to express our desires, listening attentively, and offering valuable insights and suggestions to enhance the overall experience. On the day of the wedding, Phern arrived early, fully prepared and equipped with top-of-the-line photography gear. Her calm and composed presence blended seamlessly with the joyful atmosphere, ensuring that she captured every precious moment even amongst the chaos. Her ability to be in the right place at the right time was truly remarkable. What impressed us the most was Phern's versatility. She effortlessly transitioned between capturing candid shots, posed portraits, and stunning landscapes, showcasing her versatility as a photographer. Moreover, Phern's creative use of lighting and innovative angles added an artistic touch to the final collection, making each photograph a work of art. Following the wedding, Phern promptly delivered the edited photos, and we were astounded by the quality and attention to detail. The colors were vibrant, the composition flawless, and every photo had been meticulously retouched to ensure perfection. Her commitment to delivering a premium product was evident in every image. She takes so much pride in her work that to this day will re-edit a picture and send it over! I would wholeheartedly recommend The Wild Phern to any couple seeking a wedding photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and ability to capture magical moments are unparalleled. Working with her was an absolute pleasure, and I am grateful to have such breathtaking memories of our special day. If you want a photographer who goes above and beyond to deliver excellence, look no further. Thank you, Phern, for immortalizing our wedding day in the most exquisite and heartfelt manner possible. You will forever be apart of us!

ask for, and we are so glad she suggested and posed us for those pictures. They ended up being some of our favorites out of the whole album! Aside from the beautiful work she does, she is super organized and helpful with planning the day-of timeline. Overall, I cannot say enough how grateful we are for Phern! As a side note, I did a boudoir shoot with Phern as a wedding gift for my husband as well, and she gives a discount to her brides for boudoir shoots. I was so nervous going in but she made me so comfortable and beautiful!

her work. I could sense her creativity through her pictures and that is the reason for reaching out to hire her for my wedding. When my husband and I met her, we instantly fell in love with how bubbly she was and we could tell right away, how much she loves her job. Phern is open to all ideas, she builds on your ideas and gives you plenty of options, just in case. Working with her was the best thing we did for our wedding. She has a very good eye. Coming from a person who does not feel comfortable behind a camera lense, it is not something that comes natural to me, she made my husband and I always feel comfortable, which in turn, made our pictures turn out amazing. She assists you in poses, brings props to enhance pictures, and is all around a fun person to be around, especially when you have pictures taken of you. My husband and I are blessed to have stumbled across Phern 2 years ago because we now have an amazing photographer for life ♥️ If you’re looking for an answer on whether to hire here or not…. HIRE HER FOR ANY AND ALL PICTURES!!! She has an eye for EVERYTHING!!! ☺️

coordinator and photographer in one keeping us on time as we took pics. She got every family formal and funny pic we wanted, I love every photo in my gallery. She's extremely detail oriented and worth every penny and more💛 I can't wait to work with her again in the future. We've even referred a couple friends. You would be lucky to have her for any shoot, hire her!

nstant you can count on. Her art is vibrant, inclusive, and focuses on you. She creates a safe space for you and yours to have some fun and capture the things that are important to you. Book her! Because you can never go wrong with a photographer that prioritizes YOU on your day.

e her because of her editing style. It’s the kind of style where you look like yourself just better. But once you get to know her she’s more than just a skilled photographer, she’s an incredibly kind person. For our elopement it happened to be on one of the rainiest days in August and we had to scrap the idea of our outdoor wedding ceremony. Phern adjusted like the pro that she is, set up her lights in record time and afterwards when we realized the rain had ruined the setting for our couples portraits after the ceremony she offered to come back a few days later for another session to really give us the portraits we had hoped for. It wasn’t something she had to offer but the fact that she did just helped solidify the reasons we wanted to hire her again for our reception. When we got our photos back we were thrilled. If I could print them all I would and I’m constantly changing my phone wallpaper so I can stare at the gorgeous images she created. We can’t recommend her enough, you will not regret hiring her!

ative and did her thing. I got every shot that I could have wanted and MORE. Phern was very professional, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and even offered to help out with last minute decorating emergencies! Leading up to the wedding, she did a great job staying in contact and was always quick to respond to any of my questions. We would 100% recommend Phern to anyone looking for a photographer! And even now, 3 years later, we have stayed in touch and I wouldn't want anyone else to take our photos ♥️

dding photography eased any fears that we had. The photos turned out extraordinary. We even referred her to a family friend who is getting married next year. Book Phern!

for detail, and she truly knows how to help you look your best in front of the camera. Whatever idea or activity we threw her she worked with without any hesitation and captured the moments perfectly. We highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

are FEELING yourself. Honestly, so much more than a photographer. If you're not close to her before your wedding day, you sure will be after. The pictures turned out PERFECT... I literally wanted to print every single one. She got both wonderful candids, that show our personality, and posed photos that look magazine worthy. It would not have been a complete day without Phern there. She was essential. I will use her for EVERY round of photos I need. Ever.

g all the personalities to life in the photo. We have used Phern for our engagement, wedding, newborn, 1 year old, and 2 extended family photos over the last 3 years and honestly could not imagine having anyone else. She is an amazing photographer (seriously is crazy hardworking and talented) plus she also is just a wonderful human being. We love you Phern! 💕
