We are so happy that we went with Sound Originals! The process was extremely smooth and their online platform was so easy to use and update. Everyone on the team was transparent and helpful. We wanted to add another photographer a month before our wedding and Sound Originals made it happen. After my wedding I was able to change the editing to timeless from emerald after realizing I selected the wrong style. Our photographers were extremely professional and easy to work with and we cannot recommend this company enough!

Green Holly Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Clawson, MI

I'm a Narrative Wedding Photographer. That means my goal is to create images that tell the story of your day exactly how it happened. Your photos shouldn't be an assembly lined output of a generic wedding day. They shouldn't feel moody and serious when you were sharing a beautifully happy and joyous moment. When documenting your wedding day the end photos should feel how your day and the moment captured actually felt; that is my ultimate goal! You will be holding onto your wedding photographs for life and will become family heirlooms. I'd love to photograph your wedding and create these meaningful images for you, your family, and your guests!

We are so grateful that Holly was the photographer capturing such a special day for us! When we started the search for a wedding photographer, Holly was the only one already on our shortlist. I used to work for an organization that also hosted events, and one of the experienced coordinators mentioned in passing that Green Holly was one of their favorite photographers to work with. Even years later, it always stood out to me that a busy venue coordinator who had encountered so many vendors felt that Holly stood out. From the moment we met, she made us feel comfortable and confident that our wedding memories were in the best hands. Holly’s work really does speak for itself, and while it is easy to be impressed with her stunning portfolio, Holly behind the camera is even more incredible. She has a warm and calming presence that is invaluable on a day that can be beyond hectic. And her very straightforward approach made the entire experience as seamless and easy as possible. Like most couples, we met with a few photographers before booking. With each one, we communicated concerns that we weren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera or confident that we were super photogenic. Time and time again, we heard “oh, everyone says that and then looks like a model” which might be true but isn’t very reassuring. Holly took time to listen and understand what made us feel that way, which meant she knew how to pivot when needed to get us photos we truly loved. Her work is timeless, elegant, and full of life. The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations, and her ability to tell a story through her lens is remarkable – often capturing the tiny moments and emotions you simply can’t plan for. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and an absolute master of her craft, we can’t recommend Green Holly enough. Thank you for giving us such incredible memories to look back on!

Hi there! My name is Tonya, it’s great to meet you! I am a mom to two kiddos who loves capturing memories. If you’re here, that means congratulations are in order on your engagement!

Julia Cuddy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Clawson, 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!

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!

From the very first interaction, Jen Marie Imagery demonstrated perfect communication, making the process incredibly easy and well-organized.

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, nurturer, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three. I've been a full time photographer since I graduated from UMich and absolutely love what I do. Weddings are my happy place. I'm both calm and fun. I take my job seriously, but wedding days are a ton of fun and so I have a good time too... being creative, bonding with clients and enjoying capturing love stories. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos. As one of my clients put it, "It’s wonderful energy to be around someone that loves what they do."

Awarded Best of Zola
Marci is nothing short of incredible. She truly “told a story” with our day. I frequently look through our pictures that she took from our wedding day just to relive it over again. You won’t even know she’s there. She just quietly captures EVERYTHING. She is professional, on time, and makes you feel totally at ease when it comes to your pictures. She’s been a part of so many weddings that she knows where to be and when to be there. She’s quick to adapt to any situation and makes you feel as though nothing else matters except for this day at this moment. She exceeds expectations. If you don’t want to worry about your pictures on your wedding day, Marci Curtis is the best photographer there is.

My work ethics are appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect and teamwork.

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision I made was having Kate as our wedding photographer! I cannot imagine our special day without her. From the moment I inquired back in August of 2020, to our wedding day October 2021, Kate was with us every step of the way. She was amazing at communicating, answering my (many) questions, and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Throughout this process, she became a great friend as well. On our wedding day, she made sure we stayed on track with timing, and made it a priority to ensure my husband and I were taken care of. Her positive energy, flexibility, and expertise made the day so much fun and so memorable. Kate perfectly captured our love--her photographs are of the highest quality and have unique touches that represent each of her clients. We are so very thankful that we had Kate be apart of our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make our day everything and more!

My name is Erin Oginsky and I am the owner and photographer behind EJO Photography. I first learned how to use a camera in 1999, when I took a photography class in college. Since then I have loved taking pictures, but did not start taking photos professionally until 2008! Since then I have learned and grown as a photographer. I love photographing weddings, engagements, and families. In addition to photography, my passion is my children, my husband, and the non-profit we run, Mission 25.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin shot my wedding and made my day absolutely incredible! To be honest I was so happy to get married that I didn’t do the best job of delegating and knowing every single photo I wanted. But it was like Erin read my mind. Every single moment I would want captured from that day was caught in an even better way than I could’ve imagined. She somehow managed to freeze our emotions and our love from that day and actually helped inspire me and my love of photography as well! She does a great job of keeping everyone on track and doing the hard things that you don’t want to be in charge of on your wedding day. I highly recommend her!

Hi, I'm Madalyn Muncy-Piens, the lady behind the lens over here at Madalyn Muncy Photography. I'm not into being the center of attention so I keep your wedding ALL ABOUT YOU. I'm all about balance, so I'm the perfect combination of organized and flexible, proactive yet not overbearing, knowledgeable but not bossy, and a comforting presence both with and without a camera in hand. When you hire me, you get someone who genuinely cares about comparing photos of our dogs, sharing recipes for dinner, and listening to your book recommendations. Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Madalyn was probably the best photographer we could have asked for, it was like having a friend instead of a vendor throughout the day. She just does a great job of capturing candid and genuine emotion, and after getting all of our photos back we loved how she was able to capture us (and pretty much everyone else) looking great and having fun without being overly posed. In addition, she was so incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire process, she got us our timeline and I was able to use that to build the rest of our day-of-schedule around it. She communicated early and often and always made sure she got the list of required photos we wanted so we didn’t miss anything. Since she also hadn’t photographed at our venue before, she set up her own meeting with the venue before the wedding to get a tour and walk-through so it wasn’t a surprise on the day of the wedding. She was assertive when she needed to be to wrangle our families for photos but otherwise was extremely flexible in getting shots if the plans changed! Especially since our wedding was late in the winter and we decided against a first look, she made sure to have a lighting assistant on hand to help coordinate additional flash and we got some great evening photos, and the second shooter who helped out had some awesome ideas for important shots too. Also, she got us engagement photo sneak peeks within 24 hours and got us our wedding sneak peeks (40+ photos!) within 48 hours of our wedding. She just made the entire planning experience and photo sessions so comfortable and fun.

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!!

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!!!

Michigan-based wedding, elopement & lifestyle photographer. I call my style naturally posed/documentary. My galleries are filled with both artfully posed photos and candid moments. I will be your biggest hype woman (:

I found Heidi Koerber Photo scrolling through instagram and it ended up being the best vendor decision we made for our wedding. Heidi had great communication - she responded thoroughly and thoughtfully to all my emails and texts, and was so incredibly helpful every step of the way leading up to the wedding. She helped me tweak and finalize my entire wedding timeline, and I would not have gotten through my wedding day without her calming voice and guidance. Heidi's photos are beautiful, thoughtful, unique, authentic, and joyful - her work truly speaks for itself. She is the sweetest, and booking her as our photographer was a decision I would make over and over again.

I am Aaron Daniels, a published photographer and filmmaker based in Metro Detroit. I love capturing the moments that matter most, from the first look to the last dance, and telling the story of your day through photos and video. I see myself as an extended family member on your wedding day, bringing a calm presence, jumping in to help, and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. For me, it is all about starting families, sharing your joy, and creating timeless memories you will cherish forever.

We received our photo gallery and were in such awe. I knew when booking with Aaron that he had the photography style we were looking for - but getting the photos back exceeded all expectations. It was also such a breeze working with him. It had felt like we were working with a close friend that was able to allow everyone to relax and truly look candid and enjoy the day. I went into this not really having a shot list and Aaron and his team delivered everything I didn’t even know I needed! I could not recommend Daniel’s Portraits enough and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

HI! I’m Mel. I’m a wife, mother, want-to-be chef, and the creator of Mel Anne Photography LLC, specializing in Detroit Michigan based Wedding and Portrait Photography Services. My mission is create beautifully authentic images, that take you back to a moment in time. I love timeless imagery with a fun and upbeat feel mixed with classic romance.

Melissa was everything we could have wanted from a photographer and more! She is kind, knowledgeable, steadfast, professional, friendly, helpful, proactive, insistent, flexible, joyful, and all around fantastic! Her portfolio can speak for itself, I mean just look at those shots! They are timeless and capture the essence of each couple perfectly. What really drew us to Melissa though, was her unique ability to capture the candid moments. Looking through our gallery, there were of course the fantastic formal photos and more guided shots, but my absolute favorites were all of the other shots, the in the moment shots. She does a great job of capturing people in their best light, even when they’re not posing. Based on how flawless our engagement shoot with her went and how stressed I (the bride) was on the day of our wedding, we were a little nervous about the pictures. The engagement shoot was so smooth and we vibed together so well. The wedding day was very overwhelming and we both were worried that it would show on our faces. But every time Melissa was around (which was often thank goodness!), we were both immediately more calm. We had to pause looking through the gallery because they were too good and we were crying too much. 

We cannot recommend Melissa more! She is top of the line, folks!!!!! For what it’s worth, we are both 29, got married in East Lansing / Grand Ledge Michigan, and bought “The Ultimate Package” (which was super worth it!!)

Hey! I'm Christina- an elopement + intimate wedding photographer based in Michigan and travel worldwide. If you're looking for the traditional wedding photographer- you won't find that here. An adventurous spirit and a sucker for true love. I yearn to capture those wildly intimate moments for ALL couples. I'm here for the wild souls, the madly in love, those who romanticize the world around them. Capturing honest love in the most beautiful places on the planet is what fuels my fire. If you are seeking cinematic, documentary style art- you're in the right place.

We have worked with Christina many times for our pictures and I promise you, we won’t go anywhere else ever again! The first time we did pictures with Christina she made us feel SO comfortable and she was so professional guiding us on what poses to do (because we had no idea), you feel like you’ve known her your entire life right when you first meet her. If you want absolutely stunning pictures, and a fantastic experience Christina of Juniper woods is the way to go, I cannot recommend her enough!
