When you create a stunning portrait of your family it becomes more than a "snapshot, " it becomes an heirloom. And every family is worth that. Von Ins Photography specializes in on-location family portraits.
You know the saying, you only get one chance to make a first impression. For most, their headshot IS the first impression. What do you want your headshot to say about you? Don't settle for the mugshot in front of the white brick wall taken on your friend's point and shoot camera. You need a headshot that shows you as the confident, successful, and good looking person that you really are.

Shawn and Julie did an amazing job at our wedding- they are two of the friendliest people we have ever met- always smiling and always so willing to go above and beyond to make your special day beautiful. Not only do my husband and I consider them our photographers, but we consider them our very close friends now as well! You won't find any photography service more wonderful than Shawn and Julie! HIGHLY recommend! :D :D

Shawn and Julie are excellent photographers to work with. My husband and I are not great in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable and had fun with it, and it shows in our pictures. Choosing a photographer for your wedding is a big decision (and a big investment) and we are so happy with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out. We highly recommend Von Ins Photography!

I don't even know where to start. Shawn and Julie are awesome! They are so much fun to be around, and they take such amazing photos! I contacted them about three months before my wedding because the photographer I was going to have do the pictures fell through. They were quick to get back to me to let me know that they were free to be there and were genuinely excited to meet with us.
The engagement photos they took were beautiful. Shawn is very specific about what look he's going for and Julie is so good at fighting to make sure all the little details are perfect. (It was windy during our engagement photos and my hair was constantly trying to hug my face). They really are the perfect kind of professionals. They take their photography seriously, but are more than willing to joke around between shots. Shawn even managed to get a couple photos of my little brother smiling with his teeth showing, something that my mom hasn't been able to do much in the last eighteen years.
They had a meeting with me and my fiancee about three weeks before the wedding to give us tips that they had picked up on during the weddings that they had been a part of. And when I brought them a payment about a week before they informed me that they had driven past where we were holding the ceremony and they loved it and were so excited to take pictures there because it really was beautiful.
The day of the wedding they were there early and were a calming force while keeping everything light and keeping us smiling. Everyone that I talked to loved them and now they're gushing over the pictures themselves. I wish that there were more than five stars to give, but alas there's not. So I'll close with this. Worth. Every. Penny. We love Shawn and Julie!

The Von Ins know how to do weddings. Period. From the included engagement session to planning ahead for family photos, they were always prepared and timely. Julie is a great host who always makes you feel welcome in their home. On my wedding day, I was rushing around like any groom and Shawn was there with me every step of the way. He knew what was coming next and kept me in the right place at the right time; he made my wedding day infinitely better with his knowing and calming presence.
The pictures came out absolutely beautiful. I could not imagine being more satisfied with a business deal. They are definitely not the cheapest but you will know why when you work with the Von Ins. They are the picture of professionals.

When we stared looking for a wedding photographer friends and family started referring us to people they knew that take photos. But we wanted a photographer that was professional, reputable, and just fun to work with. That's exactly what we found in Shawn and Julie Vonins. The both of them were extremely professional and very knowledgeable not only about photography but also about weddings.
Their years of experience really showed and put me at ease on my wedding day. My photos are Beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone. By the time we were done they felt like old friends.

I simply cannot express my level of gratitude for Shawn and Julie! Our wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful! They were both so personable and willing to do what we wanted to have done, yet at the same time provide feedback on what would/would not work as well. Both my husband and I lived out of town from our wedding site and they were very accommodating for meetings to discuss our wedding as well as our engagement photos. I can think of no one that I'd rather have had take our pictures.they are stunning!

We considered several other photographers for our big day, but are so glad we chose Shawn and Julie Von Ins! They are so easy to get along with.it felt like we were working with old friends. And they are so experienced that I knew I didn't have to stress about a thing. They know how important this day is to you and they do everything in their power to make it what you want!
We have so many beautiful, clear pictures to remind us of our day and they got them back to us so quickly! It was fun to view the slideshow the day of the wedding too! We would pick you all over again, Shawn and Julie!

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Shawn and Julie! From our first meeting with them, my husband and I felt very comfortable and at ease. They were so much fun to work with, but at the same time they were also very professional and efficient. Throughout our entire wedding planning, they were there to help with questions and on the day of the wedding, they made sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free.
Out of everything from our wedding, we received the most compliments on our photos and on Shawn and Julie as photographers and how well they did. My husband and I are thankful we were able to work with them, and we HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them!

We had the most amazing experience with Shawn & Julie Von Ins! We traveled from St. Louis, MO for our Saugatuck, MI wedding in September and the husband and wife duo were incredibly talented, very accommodating, & extremely professional throughout the entire process! They truly listened to our desires and gave us exactly what we wanted! They were so easy to get along with & fun to be around which made our engagement photos and wedding day photos feel so natural.
We just received our photos and could not be happier with how they turned out -- we haven't stopped looking at them, reminiscing and smiling since they arrived! Thank you SO much, Shawn & Julie for capturing our special day SO perfectly! We LOVED working with you both!

Shawn and Julie did an AMAZING job with our engagement session and our Wedding last year. I am a professional photographer and I asked Shawn to shoot my wedding, and that is a lot of pressure. Shawn was a PRO, creativity, timeliness, and professional! He and Julie helped us move the day along and even went above and beyond when one of our Groomsmen was delayed and had to be added into the photos later. We simply could not ask for a better experience. When I am booked I ALWAYS refer Shawn and Julie from Von Ins Photography! Thanks guys!
