Ashley is a top-tier wedding photographer. We did an engagement session with her prior to booking her for the wedding, and she was quick to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. After booking the wedding with her, Ashley gave us many vendor recommendations and even helped us find our officiant since that was something that we were struggling with. At some point between the engagement session and wedding, Ashley called us and told us that a conflict with our wedding date came up and that she needed to be out of state that day. She had already come up with a few options to present to us, and we chose to keep our contract and let a different photographer fill-in for Ashley. Ashley knew this photographer, had worked with her before, and trusted her. And we trusted Ashley. Having the other photographer fill-in for Ashley worked out seamlessly and I was never worried about it because of all of the discussions we had. The week before the wedding we had a final consult call with Ashley & the other photographer where we discussed every last detail. This was great because it put us all on the same page, plus let us voice our opinion on a few topics (timeline details/what types of photos to prioritize/etc.). I left this call feeling confident that the photographer knew what needed to be done on the day of the wedding and that I wouldn't have to worry whatsoever that she would miss anything. I would book Ashley all over again EVEN if I knew that she wouldn't be the one actually taking the photos!

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

Awarded Best of Zola
Tonya had a lovely, quality approach to capturing our special day, and her knowledgeable expertise really shone through. Tonya's very chill vibe matched our own and helped ease any stress on the wedding day, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. We got our preview photos very quickly which is always nice - and we can't wait to see them all, we know they'll be stellar.

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!

From the moment we decided to go with Katy from Meininger Media LLC, we knew she was the perfect fit. She was so easy to talk with and communicated with us every step of the way, always supporting our ideas and willing to listen. Katy was a joy to have at our wedding, and everybody there loved her. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning - we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her there. The quality of her work and the value she provided was incredible. We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.

Julia Cuddy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Oakland, MI

I’m Julia - people always ask me how long I’ve been a photographer for and the cliché (but true) answer is for forever. I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I worked for the Field Museum photographing meteorites during my college years in Chicago, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry when I moved back to Michigan, and worked in a studio photographing everything from seniors to pets. It wasn’t until 5 years ago I decided I loved photographing weddings and couples. I feel like they’re all connected somehow. I'm lucky I found my niche and even luckier that I got to run with it.

Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day! Service we chose: 8-hour package with engagement photoshoot To Julia: thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing. You played such an important role in our day. We talk about how we miss you already and hope we can plan some photoshoots in the future!

Hey there! I'm Nicole! I am a confident and raw documentary Detroit wedding photographer serving couples with enthusiasm and sincerity. I am uniquely gifted at blending into the background from center stage and guiding you through the day with ease. I believe that integrity and sincerity outweigh popularity. So, I'm focused on your desires and interests. Yes, I'm a professional wedding photographer who has been in the business since 2012 with published work, but it's not the "pretty" pictures that matter. It's you! You're the reason I started pursuing my passion over 8 years ago. ​

Nicole is an absolute dream to work with. Being a COVID wedding, she was there for us when every other week I reached out with a new plan and a smaller list. When COVID was at its peak, she provided the location we had our minimony and was so helpful throughout the entire process. I won't lie, getting to work with her for our small ceremony last year and our larger celebration was a blessing and I'm so sad our time with her is over... for now ;) but honestly she is the best choice to document your big day.

Hello, I’m Rich! With 8 years of experience, my focus is on bringing out the best in my couples. Before capturing weddings, I was a palliative care nurse for several years. In both my career as a nurse and now as a photographer, I have experienced the biggest moments of people’s lives, and it’s an honor to be there for them.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING. I will recommend Gold & Elm to anybody who will listen!

A strong woman isn't built alone, it takes a team. Jessica has been a huge part of our team for a while. We've also worked with so many other creatives who help keep Kate Diamond what it is today. My work ethics are appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect and teamwork.

Awarded Best of Zola
I made a spreadsheet, compared pros/cons, & interviewed several photographers. Some of them felt ok but nothing felt great, I worried the overall cost of things was souring my decisions. Then I interviewed Kate Diamond – I left the interview feeling GREAT. She had an answer to EVERY question (& I have a lot of questions), her enthusiasm was contagious, & I immediately felt confident that I could trust her to handle the day. She was extremely detailed, communicative, & clearly had a formula figured out that ensured success. I’ll be honest, her overall price for what I wanted was more than my other options by quite a bit. I had an internal struggle if it was justifiable to spend more money just because someone gave me confidence or peace of mind. My fiancé thought I was ridiculous spending even $1,000 on photos, & close friends would suggest we use some random person who takes photos as a hobby. I couldn’t shake the confidence I felt in her & decided to go with my gut. I felt immediate relief as soon as I booked her & absolutely knew she would rock it. We opted to have her & a 2nd shooter for 9 hours & they were amazing for every second of it. They were very professional, quick, organized, & worked well within the chaos that surrounds large events. They handled rambunctious groomsmen with ease & kept the day on schedule. Katelynn was great at providing specific posing direction, as needed, to help guarantee the perfect shot. She even helped pick out some last-minute jewelry choices! Not even mother nature could slow them down, & they took magical photos of our first dance in the rain. I received so many compliments from people the day after our wedding about how our photography team conducted themselves. People were already impressed & hadn’t even seen how the photos turned out! We received our online gallery with all event photos less than a week after we returned from our honeymoon. There were almost 1,200 photos & they are dreamy. I knew they would be good, but I fall in love with my photos more & more each day. The worst part is trying to choose a favorite when I’m trying to order a canvas or something to hang on the wall – I want them all to be seen! Trying to choose only 40 for my fine art album feels impossible. I don’t think my SO has ever been prouder of a photo before & my MIL said she has never seen prettier wedding photos in her entire life. Two other people that I know were married this year, both selected a photographer that was more ‘affordable’, & both had regrets once seeing my gallery. The difference in quality & overall experience is clear. We have had endless compliments about the photos we have shared, & every penny spent is justified. When all is said & done, you really don’t have much else to show from your perfect day – it absolutely flies by & becomes a blur. Do yourself a favor & savor it all in the best way possible. Get a 2nd shooter, the package with 100% of your photos, the longest package you can afford, & do a First Look. Pay for the travel if you need to, it is totally worth it. If you want certain photos, be specific, write it down, make a list of the people you want included, etc. I guarantee that if you tell Katelynn what you want, she will do everything in her power to make it happen but it’s on you if you don’t share your thoughts. How someone makes you feel is worth it, spend the money on someone who relieves stress instead of adding to it, confidence is money well spent!

I'm Catie- a Port Huron, Michigan based wedding and couples photographer. My passion for weddings started as I planned my own (10.14.23 baby!) and I decided to jump into wedding photography full time. Weddings are such a precious time and my goal is to showcase your love story. A little more about me: I love tacos & margaritas, iced coffee, traveling, and reading.

Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain and simple. From the first day we met, it felt as if I was speaking with my best friend (professionally of course). Over the months leading up to our wedding day, she was a shoulder to lean on when I was feeling overwhelmed, she offered ideas according to what I wanted and helped keep me on track. She even helped me with making my bridal bouquet! Our wedding day was chaotic but Catie was my sounding board when it came to keeping us on schedule and my family/friends loved her! Now onto her pictures, I love her style (light and airy) not overly color saturated and natural! Oh and she also does boudoir complete with a leather bound book! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. So if you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!

Our Savvy Shoots team creatively documents your wedding day while ensuring a reliable and enjoyable experience! Our clients are our main priority. From timeline creation to exclusive deals with other vendors, our job is to make wedding planning less stressful and more exciting!

Savannah did an AMAZING job. Her hubby was there to help and both were so patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire ceremony and reception. We had multiple calls to go over our wedding timeline and what to expect. She always communicated and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. We had a few changes and she adapted quickly. She also helped ease my nerves on our big day. From our first look, to walking down the aisle, first dance, and family photos. When I look back at my photos I feel all the butterflies again. It was important to capture every detail since we did not do a video photographer. And she did exactly that! She sent us some sneak peaks and we got to share those moments with family and friends and they had nothing but amazing things to say about her as well. If I could to back and do it all again I would choose her again and again!! I can’t recommend her enough!!! Thank you so so much. Can’t wait to work together again.

Emily and Dave from Yellow Tree Photography did our engagement/wedding photos, and the photos we received were absolutely incredible! For our wedding photos in particular, they captured the day so perfectly and in such a beautiful, bright natural light. Our photos reflect the beauty of the day and how beautiful I felt as a bride—full of love, surrounded by people I love, marrying the man I love. I knew the photos would hold important memories of the day, but I had no idea how deeply meaningful they would be until I got them back and saw how gorgeous we all looked. Our friends and family were equally stunned, Our photobook will be a treasured keepsake for ever! Both Emily and Dave are immensely talented, and their skill alone is worth recommending to anyone looking for a photographer. They were particularly exceptional to work with for our wedding because of how easy they made everything. They were always thoroughly prepared, quick to respond, always on time, and kept the schedule moving the day of our wedding. It was such a relief to have them help prepare us for our wedding day and then guide us through it. I highly recommend Yellow Tree Photography; you will absolutely love your photos and especially appreciate their steadiness to gently guide you through your wedding day.

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

We used Sam for our wedding in July of 2023, as well as our engagement photos. She was everything I could’ve imagined and more. She was super fun and easy to work with. We received our photos in a very timely manner and loved how she was able to capture our personalities so effortlessly. Her eye for picturesque moments and style are top tier. I would (and have) recommended her to anyone looking for a romantic, moody, retro, candid vibe!

Erin is nothing short of amazing. She has such a vision and has been an absolute pleasure to work with even during the pandemic (probably the only vendor that was fully supportive and flexible during the difficult process). She was very easy to get a hold of when I had any questions, reliable and keeps you on time (terribly hard to do during your wedding). Not to mention when she is complete editing your photos the way she presents them to you is AMAZING. It's all about the little details with her. If I could give 10 stars I would.f

I loved having her as a photographer for my wedding, she told us how to pose and communicated everything so well, she looked up places to do pictures and was emailing about how the day would go that really eased my mind for the anticipation for the big wedding day! She gave me my pictures back very fast, within two days I had received all my pictures and they looked awesome!

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

Jen is amazing. Book her right now, you won’t regret it. Seriously, do it. Both my husband and I were a bit camera shy and nervous about getting our professional photos done but from the moment we met her, Jen put us at ease. Not only did we feel comfortable taking photos with her, but I felt she really captured us, our joy, and our love for each other in all of the photos. After our wedding she sent us hundreds of photos, and every single one is a treasure that I can’t stop looking through. We’ve gotten so many compliments and many have said these are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. She’s so committed to you, she even stood in a down pour and slid down a wet hill to get the perfect first look photos. Book her, you will not regret it.

Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

I hired Madalyn for my wedding in 2020, and have since recommended her to every bride I've met! No one in my family was necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, but Madalyn has a way of calming people and getting them to relax. We have beautiful posed photos from our wedding, but some of my favorites were the natural, candid shots! Additionally, she is always responsive and timely; she delivered sneak peeks of our pictures just days after our wedding, and the rest of our photos came exactly when she set the expectation for delivery. If you're looking for a vendor who is personable, calming, and kind, she's your gal!

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, parent, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three (like my above photo from Australia). I've been a full time photographer since I graduated from U of M and absolutely love what I do. Weddings are my happy place.

I take my job seriously, but wedding days are a ton of fun and so I have fun too... being creative, enjoying capturing love stories and snarfing really good food. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos.

My love for photography started when I was young, and flourished as I continued to educate myself in the art and technicalities of photography while attending the College for Creative studies where I received my BFA in Photography in 2016. I absolutely LOVE love, and my biggest goal on your wedding day or during your session is to make sure you're constantly smiling, laughing, and enjoying every moment you experience. I love all of the little moments in life, and I try to showcase those emotions and feelings through every image I capture. I'm based in Lower Michigan, but I am more than happy to travel worldwide for you!

Chrissy is BEYOND AMAZING to work with - her photos are dreamy, whimsical, magical and make your heart so happy to look at! She was our photographer for our engagement photos, a boudoir shoot, and our wedding photos. Not only is she talented, but she is intelligent, creative, and flexible. Every photo-related snafu we had (including an engagement photo session where we forgot one of our outfits), Chrissy had a solution and handled it with grace. Chrissy is customer-service oriented, communicates clearly and effectively, and is kind and comforting as most of us are not used to having professional photos taken!

I've been specializing in weddings for nearly 15 years. My style includes capturing the many genuine moments that occur during the wedding day in an unobtrusive and low key way. Documenting the day in an artistic and non cheesy way really tells the story of a couple's big day. I feed off the energy from couple's and their guests and craft a story of their day through photos. On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

Matt is by far one of the best single shooter photographers I have ever met. He is everywhere he needs to be to get all of the amazing shots you want. He is so easy going and professional! You will love every single picture he takes and it will be hard to pick what ones you will want in your wedding album, and on your walls. He gets to know you on a personal level and listens to what you want. He is the best!!

My name is Marisa, and because I'm almost positive you just read that as Marissa, I'll go ahead and say its Marie-sa. It's fine, it happens all the time haha. Born and raised in Michigan, and I secretly love it. As cliche as it may sound, I'm married to my high school sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful babes. I photograph mostly lifestyle sessions and weddings in the metro detroit and surrounding areas. I'm passionate about capturing the raw beauty of life and love through photography. Everyone's story is different and I am so here for it. Let me capture your story for you, or even better, lets be friends. I friggin mean it.

I have used Becca Gail Photography over and over. She does amazing work and makes you feel very comfortable. Becca offers greet suggestions and posing to really make you photos look amazing. She has shot boudoir, engagement, and family photos for me and is shooting my upcoming wedding in a few months. Booking her as my photographer was by far the easiest decision and I know once we booked I wouldn’t have to stress about photos anymore. Definitely recommend!

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My favourite part of the Astrid Cordier Bridal Experience was how comfortable she made us feel. My husband is not a photo type of guy, and even he felt at ease when Astrid stepped behind the camera. Not only is the end result something out of a fairytale, but the jokes and giggles between shots come as a welcome distraction from the wedding nerves. You don't feel posed, it feels natural and you feel like you can show your own personality and your relationship. No forced smiles or kisses. I could not recommend Astrid enough!

Hello! My name is Kelly. I am a 32 year old mother of 3, wife of 11 years, hobby farmer, and have a love for photography! I have a special place in my heart for outdoor weddings. I am all about capturing those warm, vibrant tones: think golden sunlight, rich greens, and colorful blooms. If you are planning on saying "I do" surrounded by nature, I would love to be your photographer!

Kelly has been doing photoshoots of our family for a couple years now so it was only natural that we asked her to shoot our wedding! She worked with me to create a realistic photo timeline, ensuring I got everything I wanted and more! I love the way her photos capture authenticity in the moment without being overly staged. Kelly is super fun to work with and I look forward to every shoot I have with her! My wedding photos are GORGEOUS and you need to book her right this second!

Hi! I'm Danielle. I'm a Midwest elopement and intimate wedding photographer. Currently based in a small suburb just outside Detroit, Michigan, but available for travel anywhere! I have had a love for creating for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I drew everything as I saw it and I think that's why photography feels so perfect. It's an absolute dream to be an artist by trade and capturing special moments is a job I take to heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kindred Light has a way of capturing the moments you can't plan. Any photographer can capture those planned shots - those do not speak to their ability. Danielle has an eye and ability to capture the moments that speak the emotions without words, sounds, or captions. Being able to capture personality, emotion, expression, desire, and intent is something rare to find. Being able to have those moments/memories capture from our weddings is something we are forever grateful for! There is not a monetary value that you can put to those moments/memories!!!

She also got our photos back to me so fast I couldn’t believe it! The photos were absolutely breathtaking! Would use her again in a heartbeat!

Hello! I'm an award-winning Detroit-based photographer who is a nature enthusiast and world adventurer. I enjoy mountain biking in the twisty trails of Copper Harbor, snowboarding the peaks in the Rockies, and hiking to the best sunrise and sunset spots around the world (so far Thailand and Iceland). I'm passionate about everything I do in life and that includes photography. I love being able to freeze a moment time and show my unique perspective to others so they can feel what I felt. To me, that is the beauty of a photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chad was our wedding photographer for two different ceremonies, one Hindu and one Catholic. He was so flexible with planning amidst Covid-19 and needing to change plans several times. We met with him several months before the wedding to begin discussing what we wanted, and even when my husband and I were unsure or needed more information, he was always very accessible, responsive, and easy to talk to. At both ceremonies he was very professional and respectful. During the photo session after the ceremony, he had so many ideas and poses! We felt very comfortable and got everything done so efficiently while also having a lot of fun. We are so pleased with how the photos turned out and he really has an eye for how to make the details pop and have everything come together perfectly . Would very highly recommend him to anyone in the metro Detroit area!
