CENTRAL MICHIGAN BASED PHOTOGRAPHER, LOOKING FOR LOVERS, DREAMERS & FREE SOULS
I’m a wedding photographer based in Central Michigan, drawn to real connection, warm light, and all the in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours.
I first picked up a DSLR in 2013 after my son was born, and it slowly became more than just a passion; it became a way to remember, to feel, and to preserve time.
Central Michigan
Peek into my life..
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me chasing light in other ways—through music, stories, slow mornings, and the beautiful chaos of raising my three wild and wonderful kids. I’m a homebody at heart who dreams big, loves too hard, and believes in the kind of moments that don’t make it to social media but stay with you forever.
I drink my coffee lukewarm (thanks to mom life), I love old books, and cozy sweaters.
If you’re someone who feels deeply, and wants to remember your love just as it is—then we’ll probably get along just fine.

Peek into my style..
My style leans more documentary than posed. While I’ll absolutely capture the classic shots for your parents to frame, I’m most inspired by the movement, the subtle glances, and the quiet magic that happens when you forget the camera is even there. I guide you gently, but never force the moment—I want your wedding photos to feel like memories, not just pictures.
I’m laid-back, a bit sentimental, and fully invested in giving you space to be yourselves. Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot—it’s your story, and I’m just lucky enough to help you tell it.

MY GEAR LIST
We recently worked with Meadow and Lark to capture our wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Mandi was kind enough to travel for the day and was absolutely wonderful. Very professional and kind, I would highly recommend working with her and hopefully we'll have the opportunity to do so again in the future. Thank you so much.
Love letters..
Photos speak for themselves but also the sweetest and most patient ever! Wishing I had more excuses to get more photos done! 10/10 would recommend! Can’t say enough great things! I hate being center of attention but Mandi just makes it seem so natural and effortless! She has a calm about her that just makes you comfortable!
Love letters..
I absolutely love Meadow & Lark photography, Mandi is absolutely down to earth, and honest. She makes you feel confident in the photos she is taking and is amazing at working with all ages, she has done both of my babies new born sessions(I will definitely be back for future babies), along with multiple sessions for my husband and I. The work is incredible. HIGHLY recommend.
Love letters..
…Through all the chaos, you provided a calm and personable presence which made it feel so comfortable and natural. I also appreciated your constant reassurance and flexibility..
We absolutely love the sunset photos and are confident we made the right choice in choosing you. Your artistry, creativity, and ability to tell a story through the shots stand out above the rest and I don’t think we would have been able to get that from anyone else.
Love letters..
"Mandi always goes above and beyond my expectations! We have had her capture every milestone thus far, from our wedding, to our maternity pictures, and even our sweet daughter’s newborn pictures. She is very professional, so sweet, and she makes the experience so memorable! She is truly amazing at what she does! I promise you won’t regret choosing Mandi to photograph your special moments!
Love letters..
