Andrejka’s work is amazing! She is wonderful to work with and she made us so comfortable, we felt like we had a friend photographing our day. Everyone mentioned how great she and her assistant Mary were during the whole wedding. We had engagement photos done by Andrejka as well and everything we have received is stunning and amazing quality. Andrejka and Mary also went the extra mile and saved the day when there was a bit of a wedding hiccup and they were able to help solve it (and keep the bride calm as well!). I cannot say enough nice things about Andrejka and her work. You will not regret hiring her for your special event!

Photographer
In today’s world of photography, almost anyone can capture 1 or 2 beautiful photos, but that isn’t enough! You need a photographer who takes the time to understand who you are and what you want.. My photography is customized to match my clients… not the other way around.
The best photos are created when you are relaxed, having fun and letting me capture you in a beautiful and natural way. Ultimately I want to help my clients be stress-free, comfortable, and relaxed… so they can be present, have fun and enjoy the moments around them.
Smiles,
Andrejka

From start to finish, Andrejka made sure that we could relive the magic of our wedding day forever. From helping with details to capturing moments we couldn’t pause to enjoy, Andrejka and Cherry never missed a beat! We purchased the associate package as Andrejka already had a wedding scheduled, and we were impressed at how much communication and effort went into the collaboration between the two photographers. Andrejka even shared in our day, but photographing the reception, and the sparkler ceremony. Could not be more grateful! I still get tears in my eyes when I look at the photos.
Nikki + Fons
Andrejka was phenomenal in all aspects of the photography for our day. Andrejka made a huge effort to get a feel for what we wanted out of the wedding photography, what was important to us about the day. On the Wedding Day, and Andrejka arrived, fit right in with everyone, we barely knew she was there, and I’m the type of person that freezes up when my photo being taken on a normal day, but Andrejka moves stealthily and the end result is amazing-we had so much fun with her. She can handle a crowd like no one else, she got our family photos done in record time and they were fabulous. I think I’ll call Andrejka the “Wedding whisperer”! Andrejka brought out the best in our wedding party and wedding guests. I’ll end with this, when we got engaged, I spent lots of time on wedding websites, lingering over the fabulous wedding photos people had, and hoping my wedding could be captured as beautifully. Andrejka captured it beautifully and beyond words and I can’t say enough great things about her work, her personality, her ability to bring out the best in everyone and the fun in all those around her. My heart is full when I look at our wedding photographs and I think of the wonderful way she captured who we are as a couple and our day.
Emily & Laith
An absolute pleasure to work with coupled with such a phenomenal spirit and unmatched creativity made for the perfect experience with Andrejka! She worked with us on our engagement pictures (in Chicago) and then our rehearsal (a Karaoke cruise) and wedding day. She is purely committed to providing a clear and beautiful representation of your day beyond even how you may remember it as she sees thing you never did and brings it back to you in the most perfect package. Our guests even adored her! We put a great emphasis on the documentation of our day via pictures and did not have a videographer… Andrejka’s pure talent alone provides exactly what we wanted and more! Amazing!!
Erika + Brad
If you are thinking of booking Andrejka for your wedding, DO IT! Her photos speak for themselves when you look at them so I won’t spend too much time talking about how AMAZING all of my photos turned out. What I think is special about Andrejka is her personality. She is upbeat and friendly and kept my large wedding party engaged. Her ability to kindly corral my group and keep on time was so helpful, I didn’t have to lift a finger. She took care of it all! Her calmness was so needed on my big day. She kept my husband and I relaxed and smiling for all of our photos. Andrejka went above and beyond the call of a photographer and I can confidently say my wedding would not have been so smooth without her!
Emilie + Matt
Andrejka was the perfect choice to capture our wedding. She somehow manages to be professional and like a longtime friend at the same time. It was easy to relax with her taking the photos (believe me, my husband is not good at smiling naturally but she captured it!). Her familiarity with the island and Grand Hotel helped to get photos in many different and beautiful locations. The photo turned out amazingly; I love displaying them in my house! I cannot say enough nice things about her.
Kate + Matt
Andrejka is one of those genuinely warm people that you find yourself lucky to meet. On top of that, she is an extremely talented photographer, who captures your wedding day beyond wildest expectation. Family and friends tell us over and over that our wedding pictures are “magazine-worthy!” Did I mention that she also bustled my wedding dress when my bridesmaids couldn’t figure it out?! Andrejka calmly kept everything and everyone on schedule. My husband and I agree, Andrejka was our best wedding vendor decision. She’s not just a wedding photographer, she’s a friend for life!
Liz + Nick
The quality of the shots are amazing — Andrejka knows how to catch people in the best light — especially children! 🙂
Carolyn + John
Andrejka is incredibly talented and the only photographer I would entrust the most important day of my life with! She is fun, professional, and an absolute master at her craft. She goes above and beyond what you would expect from a photographer to make the day even more magical. Everything is seamless from when she starts to when she is done, the day rolls effortlessly. She got our pictures back to us very quickly and the online website where she shares the pictures is so user-friendly! I could not recommend Andrejka Photography enough!!
Mimi + Josh
After researching photographers Andrejka was the only option for us! Her work speaks for itself and her personality and ability to connect with brides and grooms is beyond expectations. Everyone in our wedding party, family and friends loved her. You won’t regret having her capture your special day. Thank you again!!
Lindsay + Troy
The best decision we made was to book Andrejka Photography for our Northern Michigan Destination Wedding. She is SO talented, worth every penny and just plain awesome. She asked us what was most important and then came up with a nature adventure photo shoot. It was the absolute best part of our day aside from vows. We are planning to book her again. We cannot recommend her enough! Super talented and can make your day a great time! I was so excited to peek at how many incredible photos she captured and made us {a rather shy couple} so comfortable and outgoing for the shoot. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
Keli + Josh
Andrejka is absolutely wonderful! We were nervous to meet her, but she put us instantly at ease and had us laughing and enjoying the photo shoot. We couldn’t believe the pictures when we saw them, they were more than we could have hoped for. She kept saying that she loved capturing the story of the day. It didn’t make sense until we saw our pictures, and we were able to relive the whole day. Andrejka captured the goofy times, the serious ones and most importantly our love. We definitely recommend hiring her as your photographer!

If you’re getting married in the Northern Michigan area, get ready to soak up the immense charm and elegance that overwhelms with every nook and cranny. Allow our photographers to capture the beauty of this city artistically in your photographs. For the couples who dream of an outdoor wedding, spring and fall tend to be the most recommended time of the year.
With fall weddings being the most popular of its kind, October is the most preferred month to get married. Though fall is a pretty magical time of year, you can make it more beautiful and enticing for each eye available at the feast. We assure you that your fall wedding pictures will make a stunning accent on your living room wall! The best part of planning a fall wedding is that you can play around with darker, richer hues, unlike the spring or summer weddings. Jewel tones are the prettiest with the combinations of plum, peacock blue, marsala, burgundy, navy, emerald green, and mauve to choose from.
Build your color palette with the fall months’ standard colors and use them for impeccably stylish wedding inspiration. Try using the metallic gold with the darker tones as an accent color. As an option, you can pick a more traditional fall color palette, such as orange, yellow, red, and brown. Just picture all of this elegantly highlighting your wedding photographs! The thought of cozy fireside nights and leaves crunching under the feet! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in this moment forever? You won’t want to miss a single detail, and that’s where we can help! Your wedding photographs will be the most precious and long-lasting piece of memory that will always be with you. Because, as said, moments will pass, but memories will stay forever.

Where to Get Married in Northern Michigan
If you want to know some of the beautiful places in Northern Michigan to tie the knot, below are some of them.
1. Castle Farms, Charlevoix
We’re not sure which past life of the “castle” at Castle Farms is more surprising: The fact that the ornate European-inspired fieldstone structures on the property were used initially as elaborate digs for horses and dairy cows; or that from the late-1970s to the early-1990s, it became a storied outdoor concert venue that hosted everyone from the Doobie Brothers and Blue Oyster Cult to Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne. Perhaps it’s the fact that there’s a giant stone castle tucked in the hills around Charlevoix at all.
In any event, you’ll be impressed by the property’s renovation that has completely restored two of the original stone structures and created acres of gardens that mix traditional European design with native Michigan plants.
2. Cathedral Barn at Historic Barns Park, Traverse City
The beautifully restored Cathedral Barn is magnificent with room for seated wedding receptions of 200 or wedding ceremonies of up to 300 guests. Full rental of Historic Barns Park is also available and includes the Botanic Garden. Have your ceremony or cocktail hour in the garden, then head inside the barn for the reception. The rustic venue and lush setting is just minutes from downtown Traverse City and sits between the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas—your guests will love a weekend getaway.
3. Black Star Farms, Suttons Bay
This vineyard and Inn are nestled in the heart of Northern Michigan wine country. The winery estate has indoor and outdoor ceremony sites. The vineyard offers West Grand Traverse Bay views, while the stone patio is a private setting within the woods. The centennial Pegasus Barn (overlooking horse pastures) and Aquarius Room at the historic inn can accommodate 150 guests for a luxurious countryside wedding.
4. Blue Bridge Event Center, Grawn
This woodsy venue is located just 20 minutes outside Traverse City. In addition to the venue, Blue Bridge provides flowers, decorations, DJs/music, bartenders/beverages, and rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch spaces. There’s even a tiny house for the groom and his crew. Your guests can explore walking paths and beautiful gardens or relax by fountains and fire pits. If you’re looking for a true Up North escape, this is it.
