Riki was the best wedding photographer we could have ever wished for. Starting with our initial outreach, we knew she was incredible and that her energy and style were exactly the fit for us. Riki has an incredible joy that brings out the best in everyone around her, and she’s able to capture that same joy and energy in her photography beautifully. We had some less common photos as our wedding was at a racetrack, and she embraced this full on and brought a wonderful creative spirit.
Riki strikes an incredible balance of keeping an eye out for the small moments that matter while demonstrating her professionalism and experience by coordinating the bigger picture. As we did not have a dedicated wedding planner, her checklists and questions leading up to the event set her up for success and ensured I was thinking of the important details to plan for the overall day, too. On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything from the moment she arrived at the venue to the last photos of the evening. We really could not have wished for a better person to help us ensure the memories from our day stay with us forever. We cannot say enough good things about her, and our guests all agreed!
We are forever grateful to Riki for capturing our wedding day in the most beautiful way. Not only is she extremely talented, professional and timely (we couldn't have even dreamed of the final photos she delivered), she brings such a warm demeanor and fun personality that it makes the sometimes stressful process of taking photos a breeze!! Could not recommend her enough, and can't wait to work with her for all of our big life events in the future!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Absolutely Exceptional
We had the absolute joy of working with Rikilee from Get Lucky Photography for our August 31 wedding, and we could not be more grateful for the magic she created. From start to finish, truly, from the entire wedding weekend. She and her second shooter captured every moment with an eye for beauty, emotion, and authenticity that is rare to find.
Our ceremony took place in a greenhouse on a friend’s farm, and somehow Rikilee managed to translate the atmosphere exactly as it felt: warm, intimate, a little whimsical, and totally us. She intuitively understood how to use the natural light, the greenery, and the environment to make every photo feel alive. The images she delivered are more than photographs…they’re memories we can feel when we look at them.
Beyond her artistry, what really stood out was her presence. She was calm, confident, kind, and organized. She gave direction when we needed it, blended seamlessly into the background when moments were unfolding naturally, and made everyone, from bridal party to family to guests, feel comfortable and cared for. It was like having an extra friend there who just happened to be documenting everything perfectly.
Her second shooter was equally incredible, capturing angles and candid moments we never would’ve seen otherwise. Together, they didn’t miss a single detail.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in telling the story of your day, book Get Lucky Photography. We are forever grateful for the images we now have. Timeless, vibrant, emotional, and truly reflective of who we are and the love we celebrated.
We would choose Rikilee again a thousand times over.

Working with Riki was an absolute pleasure! She was professional, calm, and so easy to work with — even in the unbearable heat, she managed to keep everyone comfortable and still captured beautiful, natural family photos without missing a beat.
What really stood out was her ability to capture stunning sunset shots that truly took our breath away, all while being mindful of the couple’s time. She worked quickly and efficiently to ensure they weren’t away from their guests for long, which meant the world to them.
Riki’s talent, professionalism, and people-first approach make her a dream to work with. I can’t wait for the next wedding we get to do together!
Riki and team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography! Working with Riki over the past two years (starting with engagement photos all the way through our wedding day) has been an absolute dream and we couldn't have wanted it any other way!
She was very attentive to any and all details, extremely helpful with helping us plan our timeline for our wedding day, and just a ray of sunshine that always left us feeling confident and thankful to have her as our photographer!
Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined (including the special wedding photo album and gift that she sent us). Bottom line is if you're looking for a wedding photographer to capture your special day in west Michigan, Riki should be at the top of your list!
Get Lucky Photography was amazing to work with. Riki was personable and bubbly, a great communicator, and has a great eye for poses. She did a great job capturing every aspect of our day and we will cherish these photos forever.
