✨ THE GREAT LAKES CHRISTMAS EDIT ✨
A little coastal Christmas, right here in Michigan.

Michigan gave us one more little window of beach weather, and we’re taking full advantage of it. 🤍

We’re opening up a VERY limited number of last-minute Christmas sessions along the Great Lakes shoreline!

Who says Christmas has to look like snow-covered pine trees and cozy cabins?

This year, we’re bringing a little coastal magic to the Michigan shoreline. Think soft golden light, freshwater waves, sandy beaches, nostalgic Christmas details, and a whole lot of holiday wonder.

Inspired by the beauty of coastal Christmas, but made for the Great Lakes.

And at the heart of it all? A Christmas cross. A simple reminder of what this season is truly about.

Every session also includes a take-home Polaroid keepsake, because some memories deserve a place outside your camera roll, too.

THE EXPERIENCE

• $225
• 20 minute session
• 15 professionally edited images
• Full personal print rights
• One take-home Polaroid keepsake

SESSION DATES

📍 Bay City, Michigan | State Park

Saturday, November 7th
Tuesday, November 10th

A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF SPOTS AVAILABLE.

These are last-minute pop-up dates, and we’re not sure when Michigan will give us another opportunity like this!

A deposit is required to secure your session. Bookings are first come, first served.

Send us a DM to claim your spot!

A little different. A little nostalgic. A whole lot of meaning.

We talk a lot about wanting to stick around long after the wedding day. To be there for the anniversaries, the milestones, the new chapters, and all the little moments that make up a life together.

But sometimes, sticking around looks a little different than you imagined. 😂

We first met these two back in 2021 before we photographed their 2022 destination wedding in Cancun. Somewhere between that trip and now, we apparently went from their wedding photographers to people they just can’t get rid of.

Four years later, here we are, photographing their Halloween rager.

And when I say a Halloween party, I mean an EXPERIENCE. An insanely detailed tiki bar built right into their basement, walls filled with the most fascinating little treasures, and seemingly every single item having its own story. The amount of thought, creativity, and personality poured into that space is unreal.

Add some incredible costumes, a little chaos, and a whole lot of Halloween spirit, and you have yourself one heck of a night.

This is one of our favorite parts of what we do. The opportunity to meet people on one of the biggest days of their lives and somehow find ourselves still invited into their world years later.

Because the wedding day might be where our story with you begins, but we’d love for it to be far from where it ends.

And if that means photographing your Halloween parties, birthday celebrations, or whatever wonderfully chaotic thing you dream up next, we’re probably already clearing our calendars.

The Waibels aren’t just your wedding photographers. We’re apparently a lifelong subscription.

Happy Halloween. 🖤

A tiny hill, a pregnancy test, and a couple who would unknowingly become part of our family’s story forever. 🥹🤎

In 2023, we met Paige & Mitchel for their engagement session. We clicked almost immediately, laughed our way through the evening, and had absolutely no idea that this session would end up being one we’d never forget.

Here’s the crazy part. During their session, I remember feeling unusually winded just walking up a tiny hill. Something felt off. Later that night, I decided to take a pregnancy test… and sure enough, Wesley and I were pregnant with our Desmond. 😂🤍

I was pregnant during their wedding, and now, a few years later, here we are photographing their sweetest little family.

There’s something so special about this job that goes far beyond pretty pictures. Sometimes, the people who step in front of our cameras become part of our story, too. We get to witness their lives changing, their families growing, and the little seasons that somehow turn into the big things we’ll remember forever.

This is what we want The Waibels to be built on. Not just beautiful galleries or another date on the calendar, but real relationships. The kind where clients become friends, sessions turn into stories, and years later, we’re still there to document the next chapter.

We don’t want to simply photograph your life once. We want to be the people you come back to as it unfolds. The engagements, the weddings, the babies, the growing families, and all the ordinary, beautiful in-between moments.

Because one day, these photographs will mean so much more than how everyone looked. They’ll remind you of who you were, what life looked like, and all the little things you never wanted to forget.

Paige & Mitchel, getting to watch your story continue has been such a gift. And to think, a tiny hill and a positive pregnancy test will forever be part of ours. 🥹🤎

Some sessions feel a little less like work and a little more like a double date. 🤎

That’s exactly what our evening with Kenzie & Brady at the St. Clair boardwalk felt like. Just the four of us taking a walk, chatting about the most random things, laughing, and stopping here and there to capture a little bit of their love story. Nothing forced, nothing overly planned. Just good conversation, genuine connection, and a whole lot of love.

When Kenzie first reached out, she asked if she would be crazy for having an April wedding in Michigan. 😂 Funny enough, April is our anniversary month, too.

And honestly? The more we get to know these two, the more everything just feels meant to be.

We’re firm believers that the best photographs happen when you feel comfortable enough to just be yourselves. And with these two, that came so naturally.

Kenzie & Brady, we have such a good feeling about your story, and we’re so grateful we get to be a little part of it. 🤍

Here’s to an April wedding, unpredictable Michigan weather, and a love story that feels like it was supposed to find its way to us. ✨

Some clients become so much more than clients. 🤎

We met Carrie and Drew at their engagement session in the summer of 2021, and getting to document their story ever since has been such a gift.

They are our favorite kind of people. Laid-back, completely themselves, and sweethearts through and through. The kind of people who make you feel like friends instead of just their photographers. We even photographed their wedding on Wesley’s birthday, and they were sweet enough to get him his own piece of birthday cake. 🥹 We’ll never forget that!

Now, watching their family blossom into something so beautiful has us at a loss for words. Carrie and Drew, thank you for trusting us with so many of your biggest moments and continuing to invite us into your lives. Getting to grow alongside your family through our lenses means more than you know. 🤍

And because we couldn’t help ourselves, we had to add a little throwback to where it all started. 🥹 From their engagement session in 2021 to this beautiful season of life… just look at how much has changed and how much beauty has unfolded.

What an honor it is to be your photographers. Here’s to all the seasons still to come. ✨

FOR-EV-ER! FOR-EV-ER! ⚾️

We had an absolute BLAST teaming up with the 2027 9U Game Changers – Rex baseball team to bring a little Sandlot magic to life! 🌟

From the old-school baseball vibes to the dirt, the laughs, and the larger-than-life personalities, these boys absolutely KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! 💥⚾️

The Waibels believe the best photos aren’t just about capturing a smile. They’re about telling a story, freezing a moment in time, and creating memories that families will cherish for years to come. ❤️📸

There’s just something about baseball, childhood friendships, and a group of kids who love the game that takes you right back to those summer days when all that mattered was getting your buddies together and playing ball until the sun went down. ☀️⚾️

A HUGE thank you to Game Changers – Rex 9U, the coaches, and all the amazing families for trusting us to bring this vision to life! We loved every second of it!

These boys gave us the perfect combination of baseball, personality, and pure childhood fun. And the results speak for themselves! 🔥

Because years from now, the uniforms might not fit, the cleats will be long gone, and the boys will have grown up… but THE MEMORIES WILL LAST FOR-EV-ER! ❤️

Hey everyone! Wesley here! 👋🏼

I know Amanda is usually the one on this side of the screen, but today, I’m stealing the mic for a minute because I have to brag about my girl. 🤍

Today, we celebrate the woman who makes so much of what we do possible, the one who started this whole thing.

Happy birthday to my wife, my favorite person to create alongside, and the heart behind so much of The Waibels.

Most people get to see the beautiful moments she captures for other people. I get to see the woman behind the camera. The creative mind, the big heart, the passion, the determination, and the way she pours so much of herself into the people she loves and the things she believes in.

Amanda has a gift for seeing beauty in the moments other people might overlook. She knows how to make people feel something through a photograph, how to turn a fleeting moment into something timeless, and how to tell stories that deserve to be remembered.

But beyond the business, beyond the camera, and beyond all the beautiful things she creates, I’m just grateful I get to do life with her.

Amanda, you are loved more than you know, appreciated more than I probably say, and celebrated today for so much more than what you do for everyone else.

Happy birthday, my dearest love. 🤍

Love you always,
Wesley

Bailey said she was willing to trust the process and leave it all up to us.

I said, say less. 🤎

They’re choosing to elope instead of having a traditional wedding, so we wanted to make their engagement session feel like an experience of its own. Something intentional. Something adventurous. Something that felt like them.

So they made the drive to Oscoda, we chased the golden light, climbed the dunes, and of course, brought Reed along for the adventure. 🐾

And THIS is why I love when couples give us the freedom to create.

No limitations. No pressure to recreate someone else’s Pinterest board. Just trust, a little adventure, and the freedom to turn a vision into something real.

The best photos happen when you let go of how you think a session is supposed to look and let us show you what it could be.

Bailey & Kevin, you two understood the assignment. 🤎
