We hired Promani for our April 2025 wedding for both photo and video and I was so, so happy with how everything came out. Both Taylor (photo) and James (video) were so great to work with. And it was so fun being able to see the photo and action shots that they directed for us, come to life in the final product. I was originally a bit apprehensive, given I wasn’t going to be able to see the direct work from my day-of photographer and videographer, but Benjamin the owner assured me that style and quality were trained to Promani’s standards. I really wish I could have told the anxious bride (me) that everything would be okay and turn out beautifully. Post-wedding, Benjamin was super responsive in working with me to make some final tweaks to the video and albums. I’m in the Boston-area and Promani has recently started expanding their work here. I would highly recommend - beautiful work, and super fair pricing for their photo/video bundle, especially for the quality of their work.

We booked Jonny Botello (Botello Beats) of Pantera Event Productions to bring the party vibes to our 9/21/24 wedding and he and his team went above and beyond to deliver! We worked closely with Jonny and the Pantera team to craft the vision for our day. Not only did they help us plan music but they also helped us create the timeline for our day to make sure everything went smoothly. We also provided our music inspiration for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, and Jonny incorporated our favorite music while adding his own touch. Jonny delivered exactly what we were looking for our wedding and made sure we had so much fun the entire night! Jonny is also highly professional and organized, which made the day run so smoothly.

Being maid of honor is a big deal and I was so happy to be captured alongside my best friend on her wedding day. They caught me giving my speech and I swear the emotions just pour through the photo. My bestie looks radiant in every shot, like the happiest person alive. The group photos of us girls are STUNNING, even with all the chaos we had. They were so patient with us, which is impressive cause we were a handful lol. The video highlights the love between the couple but also the friendships around them. You can see the genuine laughs and inside jokes, and that makes it so special. I love that they included behind the scenes moments of us fixing makeup and dresses. I felt SEEN and valued as part of the day. Truly, it’s a gift to have this all saved so perfectly.

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

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
When searching for a photographer to shoot our wedding, the decision became clear when I happened upon JLBwedding.com; I was specifically drawn to 1. the uniqueness of his artistic style, 2. the way he captures candid, posed, and moody shots, 3. that all photos are delivered in 4 processes, and 4. the amount of detail and professionalism poured into his website. And after a day that we knew would fly by quickly, all we would have left of this incredibly fun and meaningful day would be: photos and memories. One of the best memories (not pictured) was the two of us curled up in bed as we squealed and swooned at the sneak peek reel that Jeffrey posted on social media the very next day. My husband looked at me and said, “you really hit photographer selection out of the park, babe.” We must have watched the reel on repeat at least 100 times that night. We will forever cherish these moments captured so beautifully by JLB and we will recommend him, with unwavering confidence, to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Seeing our wedding day through the artwork and lens of JLB wedding photography is to take a ride down memory lane right back to July 19, 2025 and to relive the joy, peace, and love that we felt on that day. Not only is Jeffrey competent for the job, he’s also just the right amount of calm, confident, upbeat, and assertive. His direction and his ability to capture the most important candid moments made us so grateful for his expertise. I still can’t get over how lucky I am to have a husband, a photographer, and a couple good friends who said with no hesitation “let’s do it!” when I proposed the wild idea of underwater wedding photos. Jeffrey was an absolute delight to work with as we all tried something new and fun. And on top of that, these photos turned out even better than I imagined; they are amazing. Forever grateful.

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.

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

Aina Films 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,995
  • Serves River Rouge, MI

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.

TL;DR Hiring Abhishek and Aina Films was hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Initially, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. Looking back, hiring Abhishek and Aina Films should’ve been one of our top priorities. In the hierarchy of wedding decisions, I’d put it right up there with picking the venue itself; it was that important! Your wedding day flashes by in an instant; ours certainly did. In the craziness of that day there were so many amazing little details that would’ve been lost to time had they not been captured on film. We initially met with and reviewed the work of many different videographers but it quickly became apparent that Aina Films would be our preferred option. They had many great reviews and the demo video videos we watched were amazing. Outside technical competence what really sold us was his willingness to work on crafting a package that would fit our vision and our wedding day. Many of the other videographers seemed to want to want us to try to fit our day around what they provided in their pre-established packages. Due to our indecisive nature, it took a couple of weeks and many back-and-forths before we settled on what we wanted. Throughout this time, Abhishek was very patient with us. He made himself readily available for questions and was super personable and kind every time we reached out to him, which made the entire process easy and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, he and his 2nd videographer arrived on time and started working with the photographer and the event planner without needing so much as a word from us. They were true professionals and it eased our minds knowing there was one less thing we needed to worry about. After the wedding we only had to wait a few days before we got to see some of the results. In that time, Abhishek had already edited and pieced together a few social media clips for us to post and man were those a hit! As soon as we posted them to our social media, we had people reaching out to us about how awesome the wedding looked and asking who created the clips. The final video we received is truly amazing; I cannot stress that enough. Abhishek and his team really did a fantastic job capturing all sorts of amazing memories from that day. Some of which we had missed or not been present for, others would have simply faded with time. Now and forevermore, I can go back and revisit our wedding in beautifully edited high-definition video. This is by FAR the best decision you could make for your wedding day or any event for that matter. Hiring this team is a choice that you will never regret. We will certainly never use another for any event! Thank you again Abhishek and Aina films for allowing us to relive our day over and over again! You are a truly talented team!

We had an amazing experience working with Katie as our wedding videographer (for an Indian Hindu wedding). From the very first planning call, she was professional, organized, and really listened to our vision for the day. On the event days, she arrived on time, fully prepared, and managed everything smoothly. Katie was attentive to our needs, knowing exactly when we needed a break, which made the whole experience so much more comfortable. She and her team were incredibly friendly and worked seamlessly with both our planner and photographer. Although we’ve only seen the trailer so far, it perfectly captured the energy and emotion of the week. We can't wait to see the rest! Highly recommend Katie and her team for any event!

Hi there, I’m Myron. I'm a wedding videographer serving Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, West Michigan & more. We have a passion for capturing life's most special moments. I started Jaymes Media in 2021 and have been dedicated to capturing the emotions and memories that make each wedding unique ever since. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee, staying fit, or planning my own personal projects.

Jaymes Media was the perfect videographer for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Jaymes had open communication with us, was a great listener, and was easy to talk to. He was there to capture every important moment, and always seemed to be one step ahead, anticipating our needs. My husband and I both felt heard and comfortable working with Jaymes, even when we felt a bit awkward at times. We are so grateful to Jaymes for his professionalism and for helping to make our special day even more memorable. We would highly recommend Jaymes Media to any couple looking for an exceptional videographer.

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!

I originally booked Cora for my day of coordination but then quickly got overwhelmed as I got closer to the wedding and upgraded to partial planning to help with communication with all vendors and let me tell you, this was the best decision. Our 200 person wedding flowed effortlessly and if anything did go wrong (I'm not sure anything did) I definitely didn't know about it and Cora took care of it. She was there when I needed her most and she truly made my wedding amazing. She listened to all my concerns and wants/needs in the 500 emails I sent her and she just exceeded every expectation.
