The Photographer
Hey there! I'm Rikilee, a passionate photographer based in Kalamazoo, Southwest Michigan — but I'm always ready to travel wherever love takes me. ♥
Photography has been a huge part of my life for over five years, and in 2020, I took a big leap and went full-time with Get Lucky Photography. That year was a rollercoaster for everyone, but it gave me the time to grow, learn, and develop the skills I needed to navigate any situation. That experience has become one of my biggest strengths, allowing me to give every couple I work with an incredible experience and beautiful memories to cherish.
As someone who’s married to my best friend, I know just how special your engagement and wedding day are. I truly understand how meaningful it is to celebrate your love and start this exciting new chapter. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping document your story in a way that reflects your unique connection and personalities.
I believe marriage is the ultimate adventure — and I feel so honored every time I get to play a small part in the start of that journey.
I can’t wait to hear your story, celebrate with you, and be your biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process. Your experience means everything to me, and I'm so excited to potentially work together to capture your most meaningful moments.
Let’s create something unforgettable!
xoxo
Our Approach
I believe the most meaningful moments are the authentic ones — the ones that unfold naturally and tell your unique story. That's why the GLP style is all about capturing genuine emotions and candid moments. I like to describe it as "radiant, lively, and real."
With every couple, I start with a simple pose to get you comfortable, then guide you with prompts and actions designed to bring out your true chemistry. Those natural reactions — the laughter, the quiet glances, the unscripted moments — are what create timeless images that feel undeniably you
The GLP Process
- 1- View Our Portfolio
We understand that choosing a photographer for your special day can feel overwhelming, as each photographer has their own unique approach, style, and techniques. That's why we want to take a moment to share with you what sets our approach apart.
At Get Lucky Photography, we take a fun and artistic direction with our work. Our focus is on capturing the uniqueness of each couple and creating radiant, real-to-life imagery that tells your story in a timeless way. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that our style and approach align perfectly with your vision for your memorable moments.
We invite you to take a look at our portfolio and see for yourself what sets us apart. We believe that the connection between the photographer and the couple is just as important as the quality of the images, which is why we strive to build a relationship with you from the very beginning. We can't wait to hear more about your love story and how we can capture your wedding day in a way that truly reflects your personalities and love for each other.
- 2- Meet + Greet
We absolutely love capturing real, authentic moments and building honest, heartfelt relationships with our couples. To us, it's not just about taking beautiful photographs, but also about creating a connection that lasts long after your wedding day.
Before we move forward with any couple, we like to take the time to get to know each other a little better. We usually meet up for a cup of coffee or a mocktail, or even have a virtual hangout via Facetime or Zoom. This gives us the opportunity to talk more in-depth about our approach to photographing weddings, answer any questions you may have, and ensure that our energies and styles mesh well together.
To schedule this meeting, either send us an email or select a date on our calendar that works best for you so we can plan our chat and start building our friendship!

Love Notes + Kind Words
Testimonials we have received from other couples. ♥
Nina + Brendan
Rikilee, owner, and photographer at Get Lucky Photography was amazing. Actually, amazing is an understatement. She was with me every single step of the way for my wedding even after changing the date and venue for Coronavirus. Not only do I have so many incredible pictures, but a lifelong friendship. Rikilee is fun, outgoing, understanding, and so good at her job. I knew when I had looked over my engagement photos that my wedding photos were going to be JAW-DROPPING, which they absolutely were. On the day of the wedding, she worked so smoothly and calmly that it kept me calm. She helped me work out a schedule for the day of and was very clear and concise on what she needed for pictures. We made sure timing worked and the whole day went off without any issues at all. I seriously cannot recommend Get Lucky enough. And as if all this wasn't enough, they gave us the cutest gift after everything was over and it melted my heart. Okay, you've read this, what are you waiting for?? Book Get Lucky Photography now!! You won't regret it.
Lacey + Jace
We had an absolute BLAST with Riki and our wedding photos! She was seriously like a photography ninja, capturing all the fun and intimate moments we had no idea she was around for. We don't consider ourselves photo people and we're absolutely obsessed with the whole gallery of the day she captured!
Maxine + Devin
Riki is so fantastic! She was so understanding with us when things happened and she is such an amazing photographer, she will 100% be the person my family goes to when we want pictures done. Our engagement/wedding photos were absolutely stunning. If you want high-quality photos from a beautiful soul, Riki is the person you want.
