“There really are no words. You captured the day beautifully, and we love how the photos feel artsy and beyond cool while still being so true to us. The colors, the framing, the *vibes* — it feels like pieces of our own movie. Your style perfectly aligned with what we were looking for, and you documented every emotion of the day. We’re so happy you were our photographer.”
— Margaret & Owen
“You are so gifted — every photo you sent, we were in awe. I have such a bad connotation of how I see myself in photos, but you truly made me feel beautiful in every single one. I’m not gonna lie, I bawled seeing the photos of my mom and me at the reception. When we got engaged, booking you was our first priority — we didn’t even have a venue yet. Best decision we made.”
— Lia & Christian
“Looking through our photos felt like reliving the day, but also seeing it for the first time through a new perspective. You were so trustworthy and dedicated that everything felt grounded — through travel, heat, and running around. And you’re sneaky; I think I saw you taking photos maybe twice all evening. There are many great photographers out there, but they’re just not you. We’ll cherish these forever.”
— Emily & Chris

You have range, your relationship has range, your photos will have range 

When you’re in front of my camera, my top priority is always making sure your full beautiful messy human selves is what shines through. So often people think they have to shape shift into The Wedding Couple and do all sort of weird (bad weird, not good weird) sh*t they would never think to do on a regular day.

When you’re in front of my camera, my top priority is always making sure your full beautiful messy human selves is what shines through. So often people think they have to shape shift into The Wedding Couple™ and do all sort of weird (bad weird, not good weird) sh*t they would never think to do on a regular day.

All of you is welcome here. Life is full of mundane moments, sometimes even mind numbingly boring ones. But...there’s also days that feel like sunshine, life altering moments, inexplicable gut feelings that one decision is going to change everything you’ve ever known. Seconds so beautiful they take your breath away. 

As a photographer, I seek out these moments. Moments that show what it's like to be human. The vulnerability of being yourself. I know that you are two complex human beings in an equally complex relationship. All of that intricacy isn’t going to be flattened in your photos; in fact, my aim is to highlight your range and add some of my creative flair to spice it up while I’m there.

*steps off of soap box* Okay, onto the $$$! 

I’m not so much a fly on the wall as I am a chameleon, integrating myself into the day with varying levels of noticeableness. Trust I know how to catch a vibe and without interrupting it!! 

In fact, my philosophy as a wedding photographer is rooted in being immersed in your day versus being an outsider looking in. 

Your day should be as unique as your relationship & my goal is to curate packages that can encapsulate whatever you want your wedding day to be. Once you inquire, I'll send my pricing guide that details all of my offerings. My couples often want an experience that feels intentional and real, with photos that feel like a memory & a piece of artwork collided together.

As an elopement gorl myself (husband and I eloped in 2022!), there’s a special place in my heart for the couples who reject the traditional wedding expectations and do their wedding their way. We can work together to figure out how much coverage you need, what the legal process is for eloping in Michigan, and plan FUN STUFF to do on your elopement day!

1000% yes. Being in the business of love, it is extremely important to me to create a space where people from all walks of life feel safe here. anika b photography has zero tolerance for hate & discrimination and only works with people who believe in a better world for all.

I do! It's included in some wedding packages & always an optional add-on for all sessions. Film is messy and imperfect, lending itself to my style very well. I often get asked if my digitals are film, which is the highest of compliments to me.

I believe photography is art & art takes time. Many days, I feel like a painter pining over their work - editing is truly something I give my whole self to & something I refuse to rush. 

All sessions include a sneak peek within 1 week. Couples/engagement sessions are delivered in 6 weeks. Elopements delivered in 8 weeks. Weddings delivered in 12 weeks.

Would you believe me if I told you 99% of the couples you see on my Instagram have never stepped foot in front of a camera? If I needed a resume for this gig, I would write “Makes ‘awkward’ people look cool’ at the tippy top. Don’t you worry your pretty little head about that–it’s literally my job (and my talent!!) to make your (extra)ordinary selves look like you belong on the sickest 2000s album cover ever. 

frequently asked questions

Once you book with me, I send you a 90-page guide that encompasses EVERYTHING I’ve learned about weddings over the span of my 5 years of being in the industry. Consider it the most helpful word vomit you’ll ever read. Soooooo...are we ready to do this or what?? 


OH...and here’s the cherry on top ;)
