What We Do
Looking for the WOW
and the AWW?
You're in the right place.
Candid Moments
You'll laugh. You'll cry.
We'll be there for both.
The best moments don't announce themselves.
They just happen. And we're already there.
Everyone who shows up on your wedding day shows up for you. The family and friends that fly in, the grandparent who made it there no matter what. Sometimes these are the last photos families will ever have together and we don't take that lightly.
Featured Weddings
Three weddings.
Three real stories.
What to Expect
We come prepared.
We have shot in every venue, every lighting situation, every kind of weather Michigan can throw at us. We come prepared with the best gear and the experience to use it. Whatever the day brings, we are ready for it.
The Process
A quick Zoom or FaceTime. Prefer email? That works too. Whatever feels comfortable, we just want to hear about your day and get to know each other a bit!
Simple contract, easy online payment. Done in minutes. You'll also receive our preferred vendor list: years of trusted relationships with the best vendors across Michigan, all in one place.
We sit down together and help you build your day timeline from scratch. Thoughtful, detailed, and designed so everything flows easily for a laid back day.
Previews arrive before your honeymoon ends. Your full gallery follows online for you and your guests to download and order prints. Yours forever.

Meet the Team
We are GAUPERphoto.
We started this business basically the moment we met. We got married 11 months later. It has been our life, our work, and hopefully will carry on through our daughter Grace. We love what we do and feel blessed every year we get to keep doing it.
Ryan
Team leader of emails and dry humor
"It has always been my goal to find something to love in everyone I meet."
Weddings are the perfect place to get past the small talk and connect with the real person. Everyone has their guard down, everyone is full of love, and the moments that happen in that space are unlike anything else. My work is soft, timeless, and full of those real human moments.
Holly
Manager of laughs and twirling
"The experience you have matters just as much to me as the photos we make together."
People ask me at weddings how I have so much energy. I tell them I save it all week for this. I lead with enthusiasm and I work hard at everything I do. My favorite thing to shoot is a twirling dress. It is fun to do, fun to look at, and it makes people forget to be self-conscious. That is the sweet spot I am always chasing.
Grace
Intern specializing in enthusiasm
"Naturally attentive, loves being around people, and completely fascinated by weddings."
After 9 years of development and training, Grace has officially joined the team. She is learning to shoot, assists at jobs, and will begin editing training this summer. She loves being outside, art, the beach, and being of service to others.
