while I capture every memory

Hi, I’m Gabbie Lester, your West Michigan wedding and elopement photographer! I specialize in capturing intimate weddings and elopements with a relaxed, non-traditional approach. My style is all about documenting authentic celebrations, focusing on the real moments that make your day unique—whether it’s the joyful tears during your vows or the quiet, intimate glance between you and your partner.

I believe that your wedding day should be filled with meaningful experiences and laughter, not stress. That’s why I work closely with my couples to create a relaxed timeline, offering helpful tips and guidance along the way to ensure that everything flows smoothly. My approach is natural and easygoing, so you can enjoy every moment with your loved ones, while I handle the details and take care of preserving your memories.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me sipping on a lavender matcha, binge-watching Bob’s Burgers, or traveling with my husband and our two dogs. I’m passionate about exploring new places and love to bring that adventurous spirit into my work. As a Michigan photographer, I take pride in capturing the beauty of the state, from the stunning landscapes to the intimate moments that define your wedding day.

Whether you’re planning a cozy elopement in the woods or a relaxed wedding by the lake, I’m here to make sure your day is authentic, stress-free, and full of love. Let’s work together to create a collection of photos that tell your unique story and help you relive those memories for years to come.
