Overview
Nestled Photos is a growing wedding photography company based in the West Michigan area, but services clients all over Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The company is looking to grow a West Michigan team and an East Michigan team. With the growth of the company, the current team has not had the availability to meet the requests of current inquiring couples and so needs to expand!
