    Incredible photography experience!

    We worked with Trevor and Melissa for both our engagement and wedding photos and have been thrilled at our experience. Trevor and Melissa are kind, fun to work with, professional, communicative, and extremely attentive to detail. They went above and beyond to capture not only our love, but also our personalities in each photo. They made helpful suggestions to enhance our experiences, took time to get to know us as people, and were super organized. We will definitely be reaching out to them again to capture other life milestones and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible photography experience!

    Exceptional, fun, funny, and highly skilled

    Trevor is an outstanding photographer! He and his wife were so fun to work with and really made our special wedding one to remember! From engagement photos to the whole wedding day they captured some really amazing shots that my wife and I will cherish forever! Thank you so very much!

    Trevor is the best!

    Trevor really did a nice job from start to finish. He was flexible and attentive when we were describing what we wanted/needed. He got our dogs to sit still and an infant to smile! He was professional and took some amazing photos for us- they are already hanging in our family's homes.

    Trevor Ritsema Photography's reply:

    Thank you Kristen for letting me capture your adventure! It was an absolute pleasure to photograph your day and your family; It makes me ecstatic you guys already have your photos hanging up!!

    Highly Recommend!!!!!!

    Trevor and Melissa did an absolutely amazing job photographing our wedding. Trevor was so great about communicating with us leading up to the day and getting an idea of exactly what we were looking for. They were so easy to work with on our wedding day- so kind and professional. Our photos captured our relationship and personalities perfectly. Looking back at our reception pictures, I feel like every moment I can remember was captured beautifully. We could not be any happier!

    Thank you Meg for letting us capture your adventure! It was an absolute pleasure to photograph your day; I’m glad we could be there for you both and capture your day as you remember.

    Overall Wonderful Experience

    If you are looking for a great photographer for weddings look no further. Trevor was amazing. His communication before, during and after the wedding helped ease my anxiety so much. We could not love our photos more. He did an awesome job using the location, posing us and our families/friends. His candid photos are some of my favorites from the day. We have gotten endless compliments on his work. We will be using him going forward for photos.

    Trevor Ritsema Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Colleen, for the amazing compliments. Michigan gave us such a unique morning and your photos turned out so beautiful. It was a pleasure to be part of your day!

    Stop looking - hire trevor!

    Trevor and Melissa are amazing and the sweetest to deal with. Trevor is super responsive, firm - yet fair - with pricing, and takes absolutely amazing photos. He is professional and creative, showing up with ideas for poses and keeps everything very loose and light-hearted. I never considered myself a photogenic person, but Trevor captured all the special moments of our wedding day beautifully. By the end of the big day, you may even realize that Trevor may seem part of the family too. He works with you up front and pays really close attention to all of the details of the day discussed and has a copy with him to keep you feeling stress free an on track throughout the day. His communication is quick, thorough, and delightful. I would definitely recommend Trevor Ritsema Photography for all of you needs!!

    Trevor is phenomenal!

    I cannot say enough good things about Trevor Ritsema Photography, so this is going to be a long review. Trevor and his wife Melissa are amazing! My husband and I are so happy we were able to have Trevor and Melissa capture our day! They didn’t miss a beat! My husband and I are pretty awkward when getting our picture taken, but Trevor and Melissa are so easy going and made the experience fun! I was nervous for family photos because everyone is excited and getting everyone together is a lot like herding squirrels, but Trevor had a system and we had them done in 20 minutes! My sister in law was 8 months pregnant and wasn’t feeling well, so she left family photos and went to the reception before we could get pictures with her. Trevor noticed she was missing and found her later to get a picture of her and my brother. I thought that was so nice of him to do. Trevor sent us some sneak peaks a few days after our wedding and sent us all our photos 5 weeks after our wedding which was faster than his estimated time. He sent us over 1300 photos and they are all gorgeous! My husband and I had so much fun looking at all the photos and reliving our day! Trevor is very responsive through email and text and answered all of my questions in depth. One of my bridesmaids got engaged shortly after our wedding and, after seeing our sneak peaks, she loved the photos so much she booked him for her wedding! Trevor Ritsema Photography is phenomenal!!

    Wonderful Experience

    Trevor was wonderful to work with from the start! We met in person and I appreciated that he brought his portfolio with him and some examples of ways to use our print credit after the wedding. We ultimately hired Trevor because he’s so easy to get along with! Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined. Trevor was always quick and professional to respond and kept us updated on the status of our photos. We will work with Trevor and Melissa again if we get the chance!

    very professional

    Trevor and his wife Melissa are beyond amazing. for someone that isn't very photogenic they walked me and my husband through every photo and helped pick out the most wonderful areas. I haven't even seen our pictures yet and I already know that they are going to be wonderful. 110% recommend Trevor and I will be going back to him for any picture needs.

    Trevor and Melissa are the best!

    We are so glad Trevor and Melissa were a part of our wedding experience. They took beautiful pictures and were incredibly easy-going and respectful. Trevor executed the perfect balance of stepping in during the wedding day to get great pictures when the time was right while letting us enjoy each other and our guests. Trevor was very responsive to our emails and correspondence, and he accommodated our schedules to meet up in person before the big day. We enjoyed the included engagement photo shoot, too--more great pictures! Trevor and Melissa truly went above and beyond to help us capture beautiful moments of our day. We highly recommend them!!

    The best money you will spend on your wedding

    I cannot say enough good things about Trevor Ritsema Photography. I was attracted to his work because I loved how sunny and happy his photos look. Trevor and Melissa were so kind and warm to work with, my husband and I can both be a little uncomfy in front of a camera and they were so great at telling us how to pose and also taking lots of candids. I knew I made the right decision when I saw our engagement photos--Trevor and Melissa made us look like an L.L.Bean commercial! I had never felt so beautiful. On the wedding day, they captured every single moment without ever getting in the way. This is why it is the best money you will spend on your wedding: Trevor captured special moments that I had already forgotten about. It is true what they say, your wedding day will be a blur and next thing you know it will be over. It just means a ton that Trevor captured so many candids because now I can look back at these photos and remember every detail that made my wedding so special. When my husband and I opened up all the photos that Trevor sent us we both got teary-eyed. Trevor is a genuine artist and captured so many different details that I never would have thought to capture; things like placing our rings in a succulent or hanging my dress in a garden with the blue sky above. He gave us a TON of photos in high resolution and my husband and I have been looking through them and choosing which ones to frame. It has taken us so long because I love every single image and it feels impossible to just choose a few. Finally I will just add that I appreciated that Trevor's prices were reasonable, we had a low-budget wedding and I was so happy to find such an incredibly talented artist at a price that I could afford. Fantastic value, gorgeous photos, the perfect photographer!

    Amazing! Use Trevor!

    If I could recommend any photographer in the local community, Trevor would be my first choice, hands down! Should we need any additional professional photo's done in the future, we couldn't imagine using anyone but Trevor! Words can't begin to describe how pleased myself and my husband are with the quality of Trevor's photography, his professionalism and adaptability to each and every situation makes him truly the BEST. Our engagement session was more fun than tedious and Trevor truly captured our relationship through his photography. There isn't enough space on this to describe how amazed I am by our wedding photos. Don't take my word for it though, just look at a few of his albums. His work is beyond amazing. He's a great and easy going person to work with and just as amazing of a photographer. I hope you all use Trevor for your future photography needs.

    Happy Bride

    Trevor was professional while still making it fun! He did a first glace after the wedding right away and we had the rest of the photos in a timely manner. We have also used him for family photos and have always been very happy with everything.

    Trevor and his wife were a pleasure to work with. We absolutely loved out Engagement and wedding photos and liked that we could have hundreds of proofs put on a disc for a reasonable price. They put in almost a 10 hour day to capture everything and were both very down to earth and easy going. They even did a few shots that I suggested! We would definitely recommend them!

    Using Trevor, with Shire Photography was the best decision that I could have made for my wedding photography. My pictures were perfect. He captures such an excellent range of emotion throughout his pictures, capturing the most beautiful moments. I found myself tearing up, and laughing. Not only does he have incredible talent, he has very reasonable prices for the best quality. He's fun to work with and super personable, could fit with any group of people! It's clear to me that he has a passion for the art. He was quick and efficient, I got my pictures back quickly after the wedding. I could not be more pleased, and I would recommend Trevor to anyone!

    This couple was great from the moment we met them until the final pictures delivered. I would recommend this couple for any occasion. They did our daughter disney themed wedding and they caught all the perfect pictures in such a creative perfect way. They were so kind and sweet and most of helpful. They knew just the pictures we wanted and captured them perfectly. We will use them again as the family grows. Thank you so much for the awesome job.
