Jonny did such a great job at our wedding! He was very flexible given that we had to move inside due to rain. He did everything he could to keep our schedule on track. Overall he was very friendly and full of energy. The only thing that was missing was that he may have forgotten we made a last minute change the week of and requested to have an open mic during speeches. However, this was easy to overlook since he did such an amazing job with everything else!

  • 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
JLB is the king of photographers. I happened upon his Insta from a work friend’s wedding he photographed last year. I saved his profile and knew I wanted him to photograph us once we got engaged. Best decision we made…other than each other, lol! His work speaks for itself, it’s eye catching, rich with color and vibrancy, and the GIFs he creates are just an added lovely bonus! They are so fun. He is a photography genius, he sees things that we can’t, and I can honestly say that I love every one of the photos he took. He captured our day perfectly and effortlessly. He took the time to get to know us, to ask for any special requests, and he’s super organized. He kept our wedding day rolling smoothly and captured everything we wanted and more. He takes the extra time to know where to go for photos, and we had to do no planning or thinking on the wedding day. He took so much stress off of us. He took photos of our guests at the wedding, organized a sparkler walk out with 130 people, and managed to get the most amazing photos of my husband and I around Detroit. He truly is an artist and if you’re debating…DON’T. Book him. You will not regret it. Thank you so much JLB, you made our day perfect and we will have the photos for a lifetime.

Hello! My name is Tony Coppola and I’d like to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself and CC King Entertainment. I began my musical journey when I was 12 years old as a singer and drummer. Over ten years ago, I built a home recording studio and named it CC King Studio. Shortly after, I DJ’d my first wedding and CC King Entertainment was born! After DJing hundreds of weddings, my business allowed me to leave my 16-year career as an occupational therapist. I ALWAYS go the extra mile to personalize my wedding services. I also have the distinct honor to work with an amazing team of Michigan wedding DJs!

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.

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.

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 an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our wedding video, their communication was effective, smooth, and well-done. The Jaymes Media team was caring, passionate, and produced amazing work that truly captured the magic of our special day. Our videographer was so sweet and patient, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to help document our wedding. I highly recommend Jaymes Media to any couple looking for an exceptional videography experience.

Hello, I'm Rich...I’m a wedding photographer for couples who want their day to feel natural, meaningful, and true to who they are. From palliative care nursing to raising twins, I’ve learned to bring a grounded, intuitive presence to every step of the process. I prioritize clear, prompt communication and thoughtful planning calls so we’re always on the same page. When details are aligned and the process feels calm, you can be fully present, resulting in a smoother experience and more genuine, true-to-life images.

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!

Blissfully Organized Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Cora, the owner, had open communication with us throughout the planning process, was incredibly supportive, and listened carefully to ensure she understood our vision. Her attention to detail was unparalleled - she was extremely effective and efficient in executing our wedding day flawlessly. I didn't have to lift a finger or worry about anything once Cora showed up, as she made it so I could focus on enjoying my day without stressing over the little things. We used Blissfully Organized as our day-of coordinator, and Cora helped make sure the rehearsal ran smoothly before showing up on the wedding day and bringing our vision to life.
