Hey there! I'm Bailey, the face behind Marble + Wild Photography. ​ My guilty pleasures are true crime podcasts, sleeping with the windows open in the winter, and watching jeopardy every single night. I've officially reached the level of adulting where you live for iced coffee. ​My family and I have lived in AL, PA, and are now back near our hometown of Monroe MI. I love my clients. I love watching lives being joined, families grow, I love all of it, and I am so thankful to be welcomed into so many lives. I am exceptionally lucky that my passion and my career are one in the same. I can't wait to meet you!

Bailey did an amazing job coordinating, editing, and of course photographing us at our wedding at Planterra. She had great communication and really knew how to direct us into the perfect spots and poses for photos. Everything was a breeze on our busy wedding day, Bailey was never intruding but always in the right spot for shots. Would definitely recommend Marble Wild to anyone looking for photography, especially weddings!

I grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Growing up I always had a camera in hand, documenting camping adventures, skateboard videos, and ridiculous skits, I captured everything! I filmed my first wedding in 2005 in Detroit for a family member, it was my first gig and I was excited about it. From then on I started to really put the time in to learn proper composition, lighting, and editing techniques. I started off as a videographer but have come to love photography just as much, because of this I am able to offer both photography and film services to our clients.

I could not be more impressed with Jason's work! Him and his team exceeded the expectations of both my wife and I. Jason valued our opinions, was courteous, on time, and professional. He captured our vision of our special day while adding his his own artistic flare and delivered exceptional photos and video production. Now we will have these memories forever! HUGE THANKS to Jason & his team. I highly recommend JMaas Productions for your special photoshoots & events!!! Trust me...you won't be disappointed!

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer who loves to travel. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan!

Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

As a Visual Folklore couple you'll have lots of time with Christine to collaborate on your dream images. If you're looking for a hands-on, helpful, and fun photographer, look no further! I'm here for you!

I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs. I cannot emphasize enough that you need Visual Folklore for your wedding or other significant life event!

If you’re searching for a photographer you’ve found the one!!! I spent endless hours on Facebook reading comments, bride groups, recommendations, etc and eventually found Shuhrat! Other places to us seemed that it was just another shoot for them and a weekend project, with Shuhrat she genuinely cared about our day and photos. She made it so easy to work with and cared about every pose and every photo we took throughout the day. She was helping us every step of the way, scouting out locations, moving us around for poses, where to look, and so much more. She kept us laughing the whole time and was so flexible to make whatever worked for us. We’ve had poor experiences with photographers before this and we never doubted any photo with Shuhrat, she made it so easy to trust her and she consistently showed us photos in between to ensure we were happy with our results. Our family absolutely LOVES her and are also obsessed with how our photos turned out. We now are using her for Christmas card photos the past 3 years :) thank you Shuhrat for saving our wedding photos, caring so much about our big day, and the amazing photos!

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

Arleigh and her team are beyond amazing! It’s as if your best friend is behind the camera and helping you every moment. Arleigh and Jordan went so far and above what I could have ever imagined. They jumped in with whatever last minute things needed assistance and made my family feel so at ease. Their love for what they do and ease with everyone comes through without a doubt. I didn’t expect to find such an amazing person to capture all the little moments in our lives, but I not only found that, but someone I plan to keep as friend as well!
