We worked with Promani Weddings for our wedding photography. We spoke with Ben originally to set up the contract. He was very accessible and prompt to respond to our questions. Our photographer for the day was Malak. She was amazing! We love the photos from the day and are so grateful we will have these memories for years to come. Aside from gorgeous photos, she was also a lovely person and incredibly kind. She made sure we got each of the photos we wanted, was flexible when changing around the order of the shot list, and she had some great ideas for locations given it was a somewhat wet and overcast day from the rain. We are so very pleased – thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

JLB Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
Detroit, MI
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,900

I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of meeting JLB in the dead of winter for our engagement shoot, and despite the below-freezing temperatures, his commitment to capturing the perfect shots never wavered. As two people who had absolutely no idea how to pose for pictures, we were amazed at how effortlessly he directed his vision and brought it to life — making us look like absolute naturals in front of the camera! JLB’s professionalism, creativity, and patience truly set him apart. We couldn’t be happier with the results and have already had multiple guests at our wedding ask for his contact information for when they have their big day comes. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, we cannot recommend JLB enough. A true 10/10 experience.

We had our wedding at The Roostertail in downtown Detroit, and we could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our day. The venue sits right on the beautiful Detroit riverfront, and our room—surrounded by glass on three sides—gave us the most breathtaking views of the waterfront. It created the perfect backdrop from start to finish. A huge part of what made our day flawless was Nicole, the event coordinator. She was outstanding in every possible way. Nicole had every detail planned, thought through, and executed with absolute professionalism. Her preparation and calm confidence made us feel completely at ease. She truly went above and beyond to make the entire experience stress-free, and we are forever grateful. The food was also exceptional. Everything was delicious, but the hors d'oeuvres were unforgettable—we still talk about how we want to go back just to enjoy them again! The service throughout the entire event was unbelievable as well. From myself and the groom to our bridal party and every single guest, no one had to worry about a thing. The staff kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect—everything we imagined and more—and so much of that is thanks to Nicole and the incredible Roostertail team. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, look no further.

Chelcie and her team were hands down the best vendor we hired for our wedding. Chelcie is a true professional. Her calm demeanor made the day feel effortless for me and that I was in good hands no matter what was going on around me. I will never forget her personally scrubbing the mud off of the bottom of my dress before I walked down the aisle, knowing exactly what to do and calmly telling me it was going to be perfect. In addition to the amazing service we received the day of the wedding, Chelcie’s photography style, editing, and eye for detail make her a really special photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wear to even begin with Shauna?! We first met Shauna for a photo shoot in Colorado, somewhat arranged through my brother who was having her as his wedding photographer a few months later. We fell in love with her and her work instantly and the rest is history! When we got engaged and decided on destination, we knew our perfect day wouldn’t be perfect without Shauna, and so she agreed to come to the Dominican Republic for our dream wedding! We are forever grateful to her for traveling all that way! Given that this was the 3rd time working with Shauna (one fun shoot previously and our engagement photos), we were confident that Shauna would nail it. It was a super windy and sunny day, and my anxiety definitely creeped in a little. Immediately Shauna eased it and took control, and our wedding photos turned out better than I EVER could have imagined. When I tell you I flip through the pictures daily…I’m not kidding! We knew they were going to be absolutely beautiful because it’s Shauna after all, but WOW. Just so freaking incredible and breathtaking! Shauna is an artist with her camera, and I am her biggest fan girl!!! It’s safe to say that Shauna’s photos speak for themselves- she is so incredibly talented at what she does. But in addition to that, Shauna is one of the sweetest, fun, and most kind humans we’ve ever met! It’s not just a job for her. It’s her passion, and it’s so evident in the work and love she pours into these galleries for each client. She makes you feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful! She’s so responsive to every question and concern. Throughout the process, she was always offering help in any way with planning. She’s just one of those people you meet, and you feel like you’ve already known her for a lifetime. We adore you Shauna and are forever grateful to you! Our house will now serve as a museum for your art work in photography. We freaking love you!

Detroit, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

Chettara made everything so easy. She made us feel confident when deciding to book with her or not, answering questions and being completely transparent in packaging her services. Leading up to the wedding she only reached out when necessary, allowing us to focus on everything else. Day of, she was early to explore the venue, finding locations for later; in place for every planned and unplanned moment; and the most comforting and reassuring photographer. We were glad to have booked Chettara but once we received the photos we were over the moon with happiness in our selection!

Aina Films is a luxury wedding videography studio built on cinematic storytelling. We don't approach weddings as events to document. We approach them as stories unfolding in real time — captured with the same narrative focus, cinematic craft, and attention to detail that defines great filmmaking. Every film is shaped around the couple, their people, and the moments that make their day irreplaceable. Not a template. Not a formula. For couples who want a film — not just a video. Serving weddings across Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and beyond.

We were referred to Alina Films by our photographer and I am so happy we did. The video style was exactly what we wanted to capture for our wedding day - intimate and creative. Everyone in the wedding party absolutely loved AK and his team. They kept the energy up and knew exactly what to capture. Our highlight video came out beautiful and we also love having the raw footage of the entire wedding to look back on. A photographer is a crucial thing to book and I’ll always recommend a videographer is just as important! I’m so happy to have these moments to look back on forever

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was planning my wedding, I got a lot of opinions on how to cut costs and I heard often “skip a videographer”. I heard everything from “we never watched ours” to “I paid and big moments were missing” to “the selection of music is awkward and it ruins it”. I of course was slightly nervous when I decided to do a videographer, and reflecting on my experience, I have to conclude that all of those opinions were from couples who didn’t hire the right videographer. Along with my wedding planner, Katie from 97 films was actually my vendor who knew me the best. Having her and the team at my wedding actually relaxed me because it felt like my friend was just there to celebrate me and my now husband. I originally hired Katie and 97 Films because she offered something I have never heard of or seen before. A DAY OF video. So she literally shoots your wedding prep/ceremony and produces a film THAT SAME DAY. My husband and I had some older family members in attendance that we wanted to share our day with and wow did Katie deliver. I still do not understand how this came together so quickly. I had a lot of beautiful things at my wedding but our day of video was the surprise that kept coming up as a crowd favorite. Everyone was floored, I was floored, my husband was floored. My reaction was caught by my photographer (see attached) and it sums up exactly how I felt. We then got ANOTHER video of our wedding very quickly and it also made me cry ugly tears. The music, the shots, the moments that were included - everything is so perfect. The day flew by but I am able to relive the most important moments over and over again. But don’t take my word for it, watch them here and see what it’s like when you hire the right videographer. Day of -https://vimeo.com/863382701 Wedding -https://vimeo.com/873542736 Talent wise, Katie is in another league, all shots are flattering, perfectly framed with a clear eye for beauty. There’s no “fluff” added to make a certain length video, both my videos are cohesive, romantic and custom. She really is a storyteller who just happens to also be skilled with a camera. Somehow even better than the actual talent was the experience and prep for the videos. Katie, my husband and I met to get some behind the scene footage and for her to learn more about us. Every meeting and interaction with her was so relaxed and we all ended up having lunch together because it felt so natural. Basically working with Katie is like lucking into having a best friend who also happens to be the best cinematographer. Coming into my wedding day I had no nerves, and didn’t feel the need to micromanage because I knew I’d be happy. My advice-don’t skip the videographer, but make sure you hire the right one. Katie is the right one.

From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything. The cocktail tasting was SO fun, and one of our favorite parts of the planning process! Fast forward to wedding day–our wedding could not have gone more perfectly! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink. We also purchased an empty barrel for our guests to sign, which has become an awesome addition to our basement bar! Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was.

The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.

Choosing The Colony Club as our wedding reception venue was one of the best decisions we made. After getting engaged, we toured multiple metro and downtown Detroit venues with the hope of finding something elegant, classic, and timeless. Many were beautiful—but when we walked into The Colony Club, we immediately felt that this was the one. The entire style and vibe were exactly what we were looking for. We fell in love with every space—from Bar Charles to the breathtaking Grand Ballroom. We were also impressed by how much was included without extra add-on costs: tables, chairs, food, liquor, signature drinks, and more. It made planning easier and helped us stay within budget. From our very first meeting, we worked with Amber, our sales manager, and she stayed with us up until the week of the wedding. Amber was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She was helpful, organized, flexible, and so easy to communicate with. We met multiple times at the venue, both with and without her, while making decisions for the big day, and she was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and offer thoughtful advice. Amber took care of coordinating with our other vendors, and I never once felt worried about how things would come together. Even during the stressful week leading up to the wedding—when I was emailing and calling constantly—she was patient, reassuring, and truly amazing to work with. Now the food… wow. It was exceptional! We still have guests raving about everything—from the appetizers to the entrées. The service and quality exceeded all of our expectations, and friends and family continue to tell us what an incredible wedding it was. From our very first appointment with Amber to the moment our reception began, we could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. We will always look back on our wedding day with so much gratitude, happiness, and appreciation that we chose The Colony Club. If you’re considering this venue, trust me—you will not regret it!

The Ambience A cocktail / dinner pianist sets the mood for any room. Right from the start the magic works, especially when, a pianist studies his craft and work as I have. Carefully selecting and rearranging each song, I've come up with a truly knock out sound, suitable for background music. Can play up to 4 hours of continuous music.

Awarded Best of Zola
Best. Decision. Ever. We booked Breanne maybe two weeks after we got engaged, after pricing out a few other options. She is extremely organized and professional, provided us all the documentation we needed to review, and promptly set up an initial meeting. Once we booked her for the wedding, we scheduled engagement photos. Breanne traveled significant distances for both our engagement session and our actual wedding. Her pricing is competitive with other Detroit photographers but I really don't think her work product is competitive because she is leaps and bounds above other photographers. Take a look through her galleries and you can see why she is so highly rated - you can literally see individuals' personalities through her photos. That's what drew us to her initially, and she did not disappoint. I will say the engagement session is necessary practice, so that Breanne can get to know you and you get to know her. I don't think our wedding photos would have turned out as outstanding as they did without that practice. Prior to the wedding, Breanne was very responsive to communication and she goes above and beyond to help you with any part of your wedding - she just truly loves love. Her timeline was the backbone of my wedding and I tailored all the other vendors and reception events around her schedule. Working with Breanne was the least stressful and most enjoyable part of wedding planning. She is exceptionally professional and prepared, and yet she communicates with personalized attention that makes you feel like she's your friend helping you plan your wedding. It is the perfect mix of professional competence and genuine interest. At the actual wedding, Breanne was a rockstar. She gives you everything you need in advance to prepare, like checklists and timelines. Once there, she is a calming presence. My makeup people were running an hour behind so instead of plenty of time to get dressed and do bridal portraits, we had about ten minutes. Breanne jumped right in to assist with my MOH and I've never seen buttons get done so quickly. And she still managed to take breathtaking bridal photos in about 3 minutes. She was also flexible when she saw we weren't going to stick to the timeline, she improvised and took venue photos while she waited for me. After the wedding, she was quick and efficient with the family and bridal party photos and kept the focus on the bride and groom, which I really appreciated. She manages all expectations when it comes to gallery delivery as well. AND THE PHOTOS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot stress this enough. She provides photos that are true and authentic to who you are, and how you feel the day you get married. She is not a bystander to your wedding, just doing her job until it's on to the next wedding. She truly participates, learns the names of your bridal party, remembers the little details or special requests that are important to you, and always gets your good side. Like most couples, my groom doesn't usually like how he looks in photos. But our wedding photos were the perfect depiction of "us". Every time I go through them (which is very often) I keep thinking to myself, "yes, this is us, this is exactly how I remember that moment". A lot of wedding websites tell you not to skimp on the photos and it's true because after those 24 hours fly by, you will only have these photos to remember them. And you will not be disappointed if you chose Breanne Rochelle Photography to capture your day.

The Gem Theatre was everything we dreamed of and more. The space itself is breathtaking and created such a unique, memorable backdrop for our celebration, but what truly set it apart was the staff. Julia was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the planning process—she answered every question we had (and there were many!) with patience and detail, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of, Miranda and Nathalie were amazing—calm, professional, and on top of every detail so we could focus on enjoying the moment. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the seamless experience from start to finish. We’re so grateful we chose the Gem—it made our wedding feel truly special.

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.

We cannot reminisce about our wedding without our wedding cake being mentioned. We had so many guests reach out to us after and ask where they got the cake from.

She has so many flavors to choose from.
