<p style="text-align: center;">As a long-time resident and passionate photographer in Grand Rapids, MI, I've had the privilege of capturing countless joyous moments at weddings around the city. Today, I'd like to share my top five favorite non-chain, non-hotel wedding venues in Grand Rapids, each with a unique charm and personality.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">First up is <span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://www.thecheneyplace.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cheney Place</a></span>. This urban, chic venue is nestled in an old furniture factory, providing an industrial yet intimate backdrop for couples seeking something a little offbeat. The high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and large windows create an unforgettable ambiance that's particularly photographic in the late summer months. It's perfect for medium to large weddings, and the distinct urban vibe makes for some truly memorable photos.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Next on my list is <span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://theharrisbuilding.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harris Building</a></span>. This historic venue, once a furniture store in the 1890s, now serves as a beautiful, artistic space for couples who appreciate a blend of history and modern elegance. The original hardwood floors and large, open windows offer a timeless charm. I've found that spring weddings here are particularly beautiful with the natural light pouring in. It's best suited for couples planning a medium-sized wedding.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The third venue that's captured my heart is the <span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://jbzoo.org/rentals-and-parties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" aria-invalid="true">Bissell Tree House</a></span>. If you're dreaming of an outdoor wedding surrounded by nature, this is the place. Perched atop a hill in John Ball Zoo, the treehouse offers panoramic views of the city and the lush, green woods. Fall is the best time to get married here, when the leaves provide a brilliant display of color. It's perfect for intimate weddings and elopements.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://www.thegoeicenter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Goei Center</a></span>, known for its stunning architectural design and rustic charm, is another gem. As a former factory, it's been meticulously renovated to maintain its historical character while providing modern amenities. Its rustic elegance provides the perfect setting for a winter wedding when the snowfall adds a magical touch. It's ideal for large weddings with its spacious interior and high ceilings.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lastly, the <span style="color: rgb(28, 28, 225);"><a href="https://www.downtownmarketgr.com/private-rentals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Downtown Market Greenhouse</a></span> is a unique venue for those who appreciate an eco-friendly, modern aesthetic. This urban greenhouse offers a serene, botanical backdrop for your ceremony and reception. I've found that any time of year works well here, but there's something extra special about summer weddings. It's an ideal spot for medium-sized weddings, providing both indoor and outdoor spaces.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">These venues, brimming with character and charm, are just a taste of what Grand Rapids has to offer. Each one provides a unique setting and atmosphere, ensuring your wedding will be as unique as your love story. As your photographer, I'm honored to be part of your special day and committed to capturing every beautiful moment.</p>

Unveiling Grand Rapids: Top 5 Unique Wedding Venues

<p style="text-align: center;">When it comes to weddings, we all understand the importance of getting every detail right. And one of the most crucial aspects, which often gets overlooked, is the role of a professional photographer. I can't stress enough how essential it is to hire someone who not only knows their way around a camera but also has the ability to put people at ease during the photoshoot. <br><br>Now, I know what you're thinking - why hire a professional when everyone has a camera on their phone? Well, let me tell you why. <br><br>First, a professional wedding photographer brings years of experience and technical knowledge to the table. They know how to capture the best lighting, angle, and moment to create images that tell a story - your story. <br><br>Remember when I got my first DSLR camera? I spent hours learning every function and practicing at every opportunity. That level of dedication and passion is what a professional photographer brings to your wedding. They don't just take photos; they create memories that you can cherish for a lifetime.<br><br>But the value of a professional photographer doesn't just lie in the physical photos they deliver. It's also about the experience they provide during the shoot itself. A good photographer has a knack for making people feel comfortable and at ease, which is crucial in getting the best pictures. <br><br>I've always believed that the true essence of a great photograph lies in its ability to capture genuine emotion. And to do that, you need to feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. That's where a professional photographer comes in. They have the skill to make you forget about the camera and just be yourselves, resulting in beautiful, authentic photographs.<br><br>Investing in a professional wedding photographer is more than just paying for a service. It's about investing in your memories, in your story. And I can tell you from personal experience, there's nothing more rewarding than being able to relive those precious moments through beautiful photographs. <br><br>So, when planning your wedding, remember to prioritize hiring a professional photographer. Trust me, it's an investment you won't regret.</p>

We first hired Phern to do engagement photos to test her out before committing to a wedding photographer. She set 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.
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, and made sure we had all of the family photos we asked for. She also carried her step ladder the entire 8 hours she was there! Phern is worth every penny. I cannot recommend her enough!

Sydney & Jacob

Phern is an unstoppable talent! If she could photograph all of my events for the rest of my life, I would have it that way.

She was very communicative with us, made us feel like we were in safe hands on our wedding day and is a powerhouse when it comes to getting the best photos and editing them to perfection! I highly HIGHLY recommend!!!

Abby & Kate

If I could give 1000 stars, I WOULD!
From the very beginning, Phern took the time to understand our vision. Her friendly demeanor made us feel instantly comfortable and allowed us to express our desires.Her presence blended seamlessly with the joyful atmosphere, ensuring that she captured every precious moment even amongst the chaos.  What impressed us the most was Phern's versatility. She effortlessly transitioned between capturing candid shots, posed portraits, and stunning landscapes.
Her talent and professionalism are unparalleled. 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.

Alycea & Ty

Phern is AMAZING! I found Phern on Instagram about a year before our wedding, and her feed helped me see that I could totally have a wedding that was fun and vibrant. We booked her for an engagement session and loved working with her before the wedding to get to know her! She was so attentive to detail and we loved the engagement photos! For our wedding, Phern helped us put together a detailed timeline and even helped us save on a 2nd photographer. Phern was so accommodating on the wedding day, and even did my hair in a beautiful updo during the reception after we took photos outside and my hair fell out in the July humidity. She is so so talented in her craft, but also so warm and friendly! We love our photos so much.

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language.


"I remember being eight years old just before the age of social media and Netflix, and my favorite past time was flipping through all the photo books I found.

I was fourteen when my sister introduced me to the PicMonkey and Picnik era (IYKYK), and I was known for editing my Facebook friends' profile photos.

At fifteen, I became obsessed with the world of Tumblr, so I began taking my own photos, editing a dramatic quote on them on PicMonkey, and proudly sharing on the internet.

Once I got my hands on my first DSLR camera at sixteen, (the good ole Canon Rebel T3) I spent HOURS on YouTube and Google learning every single function, and took every chance to practice.

These days, I can shoot manual in my sleep and can differentiate between "cool" white and "warm" white. I'm passionate about serving the people that see the value in my craft within this profession. I have immense gratitude for those that choose me, and I vow to be just as invested in YOU as you have invested in me."
