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?

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!

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.

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.

A strong woman isn't built alone, it takes a team. Jessica has been a huge part of our team for a while. We've also worked with so many other creatives who help keep Kate Diamond what it is today. My work ethics are appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect and teamwork.

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.

Hii! I am Wendy! I love storytelling and my heart loves endlessly. No two stories are alike and we all have something to learn from each other.

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!

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, parent, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three (like my above photo from Australia). I've been a full time photographer since I graduated from U of M and absolutely love what I do. Weddings are my happy place. I get to take photos, I get to travel and sometimes I can even get in the water ;) I'm calm and a bit silly. I take my job seriously, but wedding days are a ton of fun and so I have fun too... being creative, enjoying capturing love stories and snarfing really good food. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos.

I've been specializing in weddings for nearly 15 years. My style includes capturing the many genuine moments that occur during the wedding day in an unobtrusive and low key way. Documenting the day in an artistic and non cheesy way really tells the story of a couple's big day. I feed off the energy from couple's and their guests and craft a story of their day through photos. On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

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!

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!

We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.... someone has said, and they couldn't have been more right. Photography is my passion, and I love everything about it. From finding the ideal place to take photos and enjoying a cup of coffee going over a photoshoot. My name is Denisa Rama, and I stumbled into photography my freshman year in high school, and every day I do my best to become better.

Hello and thank you for visiting my Zola profile! I'm Anita and photography is my passion! It could have been the fact I come from a very artistic family especially my late great uncle. Unfortunately I never met him but I was so inspired by his work that I too started my journey in 2004. I greatly love the beauty of nature and wildlife as well as telling people's stories. When I went to school for visual arts, my teachers have taught me the fundamentals of composition, conveying emotion and again, most importantly telling a story. And that's exactly what I love doing when I take pictures!

I specialize in photojournalistic and romantic-editorial photography for soulful couples who value nostalgic and timeless memories. I authentically tell your story so you can live in the moment while still getting those intentional and iconic shots that you love and deserve.

My name is Charlie and I have been working weddings in the Detroit area since 2014.

We are a husband and wife duo... (Yes...we were both photographers when we first met!) We love capturing the moments as they happen: the blushing bride, the teary-eyed groom at the alter, the loving gaze of a parent, and of course, the fun of the party. We imagine a scene from many angles, and tune into the emotions in the room. From behind the camera we laugh with you, get teary-eyed with you, feel the warmth and love that is present within you, and make that moment last forever through our work.

We are Erika and Stephen and we are a husband and wife photography team. Although we are in the beginnings of our journey as a married couple, we have been together for close to ten years! We are located in the Metro Detroit area, in Armada, Michigan. We have been in Armada for about 6 years and absolutely love where we live. We love to photograph weddings and have been doing so for about 6 years together. From backyard, private weddings, to large city venues, we've photographed weddings all over Michigan and beyond!

Thanks for stopping by. My wife Linda, and I manage our boutique style, home studio in Farmington Hills, MI. I personally photograph all the occasions and Linda manages the business.

Hey, Y’all. I’m Jess, an elopement and lifestyle photographer - based in Michigan, but will travel anywhere. I thrive on intimate settings, magical places, and anything unique and true to you. I was born and raised in a small, rural town in Michigans thumb, where saying you got stuck behind a tractor was a perfectly legitimate excuse for being late to anything. Currently, I reside in Metro Detroit, with my husband, three WILD children, and our pets - two dogs, a cat named Kiwi, and one very spoiled betta fish. I love Michigan, but my heart longs for slower, southern living, and a magical, old farmhouse.

Let’s chat and I’ll show you why my wedding couples end up being my pals!

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!

Hello, my name is Steve Land. I have a passion for photography. I got into taking images in March of 2017. I love to capture moments, especially of my family who are my number one. That's what got me so interested in this craft. From the time I bought my first camera and took my first shots, to now, each time I am amazed at how creative it can be. I dove right into portrait and event-style photography as this is where my passion lies.

I’m not a traditional photographer and you’re not a traditional client. If the thought of allowing a blue-haired, belly laugher near your nuptials causes you to sweat through your Spanx, I understand. There are tons of traditional photographers who will be happy to pose you. But if you’re down-to-earth, in love, and want to have fun capturing photos you will cherish forever, I’m your girl.
