Ewbank Films 

5.0

Royal Oak, MI
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,000

Hey! I’m Adam, a wedding videographer obsessed with love based in Detroit, Michigan. Marrying the love of my life inspired me to pick up a camera and start documenting all the unique ways love is expressed. Capturing couples in the moment not only preserves a memory — it allows us to revisit the unparalleled feeling of a first kiss as a married couple or the shock of discovering your third cousin has serious dance moves.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adam was THE PERFECT choice for our wedding videographer. We honestly had a hard time choosing our videographer because it's hard to picture your own wedding video while watching someone else's. Not only was our wedding film exactly what we wanted, but Adam made us extremely comfortable on our wedding day. He made us feel at ease and blended perfectly into our wedding day, we felt like he was a wedding guest with a camera. Adam is kind, communicative, and insanely talented, we couldn't be happier with our wedding film. Thanks so much to Ewbank Films, my husband and I couldn't recommend his services enough!

  • Starts at $3,500

I make clients feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera producing heirloom images. I’m passionate about capturing your big day in a way that really reflects who you are as a couple. My experience is what sets me apart!

You can not go wrong with booking Erica Crosby Photography! I will now always book Erica for every big moment in my life. Erica was not only extremely professional but very kind and listens to all your needs and concerns. If there is ever a time you can’t decide or describe what your feeling or wanting, Erica usually knows what you want before you even know. She makes any experience fun and very comfortable. Erica Crosby Photography delivered the most beautiful, elegant, timeless pictures for my engagement and wedding. These pictures will never go out of style because my photos do not go with the trends of over editing, these are classic, natural and capture beautiful moments in time. Erica is extremely talented at what she does but she is also an incredible person on the inside, she wants every client of hers to be 100% happy and satisfied.

The Todd Everett Experience

Royal Oak, MI
  • DJ

The Todd Everett Experience is an Exclusive Wedding DJ Brand. We set the bar for HIGH-ENERGY and FUN Atmospheres! Our brand is renowned in the Detroit Metropolitan and neighboring areas for our unique style of handling DIVERSE audiences (race, age, gender, guest from different states and eclectic musical taste). If you want your family and friends to talk about your wedding for years to come, then we are the DJ Team for you!

Working with Todd at a recent wedding was a true pleasure. The bride & groom had worked through a detailed plan for the day. Then, of course with COVID, some things changed. Todd was professional and flexible about setting up an additional sound system so that they could hear their speeches. Then, when it was time to party, Todd got that crowd jumpin! Even with a small crowd, Todd figured out how to keep that dance floor packed & full of great energy. Well done!

If you love the quaint and peaceful feeling of community, the Royal Oak Farmer’s Market is the perfect place for you. With a facility that also hosts a Farmer’s Market, a Flea Market, and an Antique and Collectable Market, this location is truly a community landmark. The Royal Oak Farmers Market is a purist Michigan market. We strive to offer the freshest local produce direct from the growers. We have both certified organic and sustainable farmers. We also offer free-range meats & eggs, plus a large amount of local specialty food items. The RO farmers market is open Saturdays selling local produce All Year Round!

A great blank canvas venue! The staff is very accommodating and allow you to bring in vendors of your choosing. They were very helpful and always available for a phone call/meeting to go over logistics. It’s also a huge space that was great for my 200 person ceremony and reception. Definitely would recommend at least getting a day of coordinator because the venue does not come with anything other than tables and chairs, so setup is a big task. I absolutely loved how our wedding turned out and we got so many compliments about how unique the venue was from our guests!

Alison did an exceptional job as the day of coordinator for my wedding! She was an excellent communicator, ia extremely organized in a way my mostly type-A brain needed, helped me work through things I hadn't even thought of leading up to the big day, and was instrumental in making our wedding and reception a smooth, seamless process. At least, it seemed like that to me I had nothing to worry or stress about the day of, and I have to give her credit for that! My biggest regret is not having found her sooner, because I would've loved her assistance in planning our wedding and helping with travel arrangements for our out of town guests. Thanks again Alison, you were an integral part in our big day!

Their communication style was professional, frequent, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work was simply outstanding - they brought an artistic flair to every detail, and ensured everything was executed in a timely and stress-free manner. Justine called me multiple times leading up to the wedding to make sure she fully understood my vision, and when I walked into the reception on the big day, it was even better than I could have dreamed! She also came back later that night to expertly tear down the decor and get it ready to load into the cars. I felt completely at ease the entire day, and all of my guests were amazed at how beautifully the venue was decorated. I'm so grateful I gave Justine artistic freedom with a few of my ideas, as she exceeded all of my expectations.

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
When we first got engaged and we found tonya i expressed how worried i was that we had never done photos before and had no clue what we really wanted but i knew i didnt want them to look posed i wanted our emotions to show through. She was very understanding and helpful she sent me some pictures shed done before and then i went pintrest crazy :). Then i found out i was pregnant and we decided to postpone our wedding she was super understanding and happy for us and stayed in contact with us as we tried to come up with a new date. I absolutely loved working with tonya she did an amazing job on our pictures i swear i fall more in love with them each time i look at them. She also worked well with some of the nerdy pictures we wanted which envolved harry potter and star wars :). I had something i wanted to change in one of our wedding photos(she was already done editing our photos) for a Christmas gift for my husband and she was all for it and it turned out absolutely perfect. I fully recommend using her for any of your photography needs.

They were able to set up before the party started and we used their speaker services during cocktail hour/dinner. The band is huge - so many talented artists and musicians and incredible range of vocals. People have not stopped telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. At the end of the night, the encore was in such high demand, we paid to keep them on another hour! Please, don't hesitate when booking with them! We love you, Spacecat!

As someone who is VERY particular about their hair, I cannot recommend Kimberley enough. Not only is she kind, considerate, and professional, but she listens and intently styles based on continuous feedback and guidance. I have very fine, thin hair and Kimberley made sure that my hair looked voluminous but not overdone, and that all of my “bald spots” were covered. Kimberley is not just a hair stylist, she is an artist. She carefully places each and every piece until it is just right. Kimberley takes her time and uses products that do not weigh down your hair while at the same time keeping it firmly in place. I entrusted Kimberley for both engagement photos and my wedding day and it was the best decision I made. I cannot more highly recommend her for not only special occasions, but any of your hair care needs!

Discover the possibilities for your dream day with us today!

I’ve put off writing this review because I didn’t want to do a disservice to the Treasury. To start, the venue is stunning, it made planning so easy for a bride like me who had no idea where to start for decor. The thing that you can’t see in pictures is how incredible the staff is. They were super communicative throughout the entire process. Any questions I had, they would answer within a day or two of me reaching out. They were proactive when a deadline came up, sending a heads up message a few weeks before so even if I had forgotten, I had time to get everything together. Finally, I did not expect their attentiveness on the actual day of our wedding but Hayley and Josh helped make us feel so special the whole day. The discord on wedding Facebook and TikTok is that the venue coordinator is there for the venue and to not expect them to help out day of except for anything venue related. That was not my experience at all, for example, I got sucked into talking to guests while dinner was being served and yet almost an hour after everyone ate, Josh arranged my husbands and my dinner in the private room, and it was freshly cooked and still hot. My wedding day was one of my best days so far, and so much of that can be attributed to the Treasury.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Royal Oak, 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. ​

Since the beginning, Nicole has demonstrated her expert knowledge and supreme professionalism. She always delivers, is punctual, and has constantly exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail and respect of the craft produces beautiful imagery that is has a candid quality, but also has a certain modern dreamy aesthetic that I love. She is also so excellent at direction. You may think you'll feel awkward in front of a camera, but she provides you a worksheet to help understand your preferences and comforts and work around those. But even then, in the moment you just feel so happy and trusting with her that you will learn to be more at ease and trust in the process. She will guide you to the perfect poses, and even fix your hair, your veil and layers of tulle. (Seriously, thank you so much). Nicole also offers excellent recommendations on vendors, timelines, and provides numerous check ins and worksheets to keep you on track. Everything is carefully planned out and I love that. It helped me immensely to know where I'm at, where I should be, and what's to come. I also was super impressed with her second shooter Taylor. Both of them together captured the most lovely images, and I can't wait to get them printed. Another thing that I appreciated, was her blogs on her website, that dive into detail about her process and even the fact that she has numerous back up methods – which is something you don't think about unless you're in the digital industry. It's a huge sense of relief knowing Nicole has everything squared away so you can simply focus on your big day. I could go on, but I'll stop here and remind you that Nicole is the best in the business and worth the investment and more.

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.

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!

We recently had our ceremony & reception on the Ovation yacht and it was over and above our expectations. The entire planning process was easy and well communicated. Day of - fantastic! Coming from someone who is usually the orchestrator of events, giving that up to someone you just met was not easy, until we met Christie & Faith, they both took care of every last detail throughout the night. Faith gave us phenomenal service and everything was perfect! Our guests are still raving about our wedding and the delicious food.

My name is Ronda, a professionally trained hairdresser that has recently relocated to Michigan. I’m a wife, mom and dog-mama. When I’m not in the Midwest, my husband and I spend a few months out of the year in the Caribbean on the beautiful island of Antigua (“wink wink” to all my destination brides!). In my free time, I love traveling, going to the beach with our Frenchie named “Tigua” and sipping a spicy margarita. My mission is to continue to create beautiful looks for my Brides, share my knowledge with other aspiring hairdressers, and hopefully inspire others to manifest their biggest dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ronda is amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented she’s also an awesome person. I felt beautiful as a bride on my wedding day and the rest of my wedding party looked stunning as well. She is incredibly professional and prompt and I couldn’t recommend her enough.
