Petoskey, MI Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Barn romance, lakefront summers, and city ballrooms — Petoskey couples get all four seasons of backdrop.
Barn romance, lakefront summers, and city ballrooms — Petoskey couples get all four seasons of backdrop.
Petoskey weddings mean planning with the seasons: lake light in June, fire-colored Octobers, snow-globe winters. We shoot them all, and we pack for whichever one your date draws.
Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Petoskey surprises us on the morning of.
Selected frames from the Elizabeth Scott portfolio. Ask and we will send full galleries from weddings closest in size and setting to yours.
Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Petoskey than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 9:29 PM and golden hour opens around 8:44 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:54 PM — a swing of 2 hours 35 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Petoskey ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

| May | 6:18 PM | 8:20 PM | 9:03 PM | 14.9 h |
| June | 6:44 PM | 8:44 PM | 9:29 PM | 15.6 h |
| July | 6:40 PM | 8:41 PM | 9:25 PM | 15.3 h |

| September | 5:06 PM | 7:12 PM | 7:51 PM | 12.5 h |

Times computed for Petoskey (New York) on the 15th of each month. An outdoor ceremony in open shade can run 20–30 minutes later than the figures above; a church or ballroom ceremony is unaffected.
These are the Petoskey venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

One senior team for both — the smoothest timeline.
No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Petoskey wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.
Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.
Not every venue in Petoskey, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.
Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.
Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.
One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
