About

Hallie Kohler is a documentary wedding + portrait photographer working out of northern Michigan. She strives to create a comfortable environment where you as the subject can let go of control and allow yourselves to be seen, and also to be very present. To forget about the photos and the camera entirely. Hallie's goal as a photographer is to invisibly witness and capture each moment just as it happens. She will always prioritize people (moments) over aesthetics (you table decor) and promises to fabricate nothing. Bottom line: No posing. Nothing staged. Just you, showing up as yourselves.

Hallie believes that photography is an investment in recorded memories. Picture this: you're making coffee on a Sunday morning, long after the guests have gone home and the flowers wilted, your wedding dress is hanging in the closet upstairs. But flipping through the album on your kitchen table or opening up Facebook and getting a glimpse of your profile pic, you can mentally jump back into those moments -- you can feel the goose-bumps of overwhelming emotion, and remember the joy and beauty of this rare gathering of your favorite people who all came together to celebrate your love. That's the power of photography, and Hallie wants you to feel confident you made the right choice when you hire a wedding photographer.

Services Offered

As a non-traditional wedding photographer, Hallie knows that her couples' weddings don't revolve around posed moments and hundreds of family photos. She believes that each couple should craft their wedding day to fit their own personalities and interests, and she is excited to tell each unique story.

Every wedding Hallie photographs is different -- from an intimate family ceremony in a National Park on a weeknight, a couple exchanging vows at sunset after a strenuous hike, or a backyard bonfire and dancing under the glow of string lights, to an all-out wedding bash in an old whiskey distillery ending with a tunnel of sparklers and an abundance of joy. (There is always an abundance of joy). To be able to work with a wide range of couples, Hallie offers custom wedding pricing. She'd love to chat with you about your wedding day (and your favorite hiking trails, your dog, your go-to ice cream shop and whatever else happens to come up) and make sure you feel like she's the best fit for your photographer.

Wedding Packages always include:

  • Location Scouting
  • Online Gallery Access
  • Re-Print Rights

Add On's:

  • Travel
  • An Assistant Photographer
  • Albums & Prints

Hallie always feels honored when she is chosen to be the one to capture a wedding day. To record such a meaningful time in each couples' life story, and to witness deep love and human connection are a privilege -- she takes great care to be present, inspired, helpful, and kind in every interaction.

Amazing Photographer

Hallie was incredible to work with. From the beginning she got to know my husband and I as a couple and made sure to include each of our wishes in the photos she captured. Hallie took the time to scope out the best places to capture our first look and even got some photos we didn't know she would take of our venue (and we love them!). Anyone looking for a wedding photographer should definitely reach out to Hallie. She captures the day just as it happens.

Truly the Best!

Hallie is just the best! I can’t help but smile each time I look at our wedding photos, it brings me right back to the day. We didn’t provide much guidance other than that we wanted natural, candid photos and that’s exactly what Hallie provided (and more). Her photos had so much personality and captured all of the emotion of the day. Not only is Hallie an incredible photographer, she’s also an amazing person! We also had a second shooter for our wedding and are so happy to have had the extra set of hands! One of my favorite parts of the day was the sunset portraits because we were able to escape and just have casual conversation with ourselves and Hallie. Truly amazing, I would highly recommend. Thank you, Hallie!
