Hi there! My name is Janelle, a 26-year-old Metro Detroit based photographer passionate about capturing emotional moments. Whether it’s your wedding day, engagement, or growing family, my top priority is staying true to the essence of each scene—preserving it in time for you to cherish forever. Aquí también se habla español! Photography is a part-time pursuit for me, I also work full-time and stay active in the Detroit alternative music scene as a concert photographer.

Santacruz Imagery was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was excellent - they always responded to our inquiries within 24 hours, if not faster. The quality of their work is truly outstanding, and the photographer has an incredible eye for the most flattering poses. We've only done our engagement session so far, but the results were amazing - she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, and the pictures came out beautifully. We can't wait to see what she captures on our wedding day! Santacruz Imagery is really amazing and very flexible, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Bob & Dawn Davis Photography & Design

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $12,500
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

VanDee Photo is ran by, me! Alyssa VanDusen. I have been photographing most of my life but VanDee Photo was born in 2021 I am located in NW OH and primarily serves this area- but have never turned down the chance to travel. I specialize in a very hands off documentary approach which is the BEST for anyone who feels like maybe staring into the lens is a bit awkward (Guilty!) This specialty gives me the freedom to document life as it is. That's why photography became a thing after all ( ; Since I have to get to know you guys to plan a shoot that feels natural to you, all sessions require some form of consult.

I had a wonderful experience working with VanDee Photo for my wedding. Alyssa was quick to reply to any questions or requests I had, and she was always there when I needed her. You can tell Alyssa loves what she does - she was so friendly and quickly became a part of the family! She was with us every step of the way! She was spot on with the photos I wanted, and the ones she recommended we try came out perfectly. I would book her again and again! She was such a joy to work with and exceeded my expectations!

This might surprise you...Prior to photography, I was a professional concert dancer. So I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight. And I understand how to use my training as a dancer to make you look stunning in front of the camera. I know the mechanics of the body and how to pose you to look your best. And on your wedding day, that is exactly how you should feel.

Lauren is so incredibly talented at what she does! I'm a wedding planner and florist, so I have the opportunity to work with many photographers in the area. Lauren is by far one of the best in the industry. We recently worked on a styled shoot together, and she captured our vision and design so perfectly! She is the perfect blend of professional, and easy-going. Do yourself a favor and hire her!!

I love this job of mine. When you book me, you can be assured that I will operate before, during & after the wedding with your best interests at heart. My #1 goal is always to create a space that allows you (and your loved ones) to be your best, most comfortable selves & to depict your wedding day through your final photo gallery in the most authentic way as you remember it unfolding. My motto is "the friend who takes photos."

We are so lucky to have had Gretchen as our wedding photographer!! She is so so talented and beyond a joy to work with. I cannot recommend Gretchen enough. She is incredibly organized and captured our day so beautifully. Her warmth and creativity are unparalleled. My husband and I had our engagement and wedding photos done by Gretchen and we adore them. Her style and energy is so fun. She was thoughtful in our ceremony and reception moments, bridal party and family shots, and captured so many intimate moments we will cherish forever. There are so many "in-the-moment"/documentary style photos Gretchen took that we adore. Not only did my husband and I love Gretchen, but our family and friends were blown away by her talent and attention to detail. She made our loved ones feel like VIPs and captured their love and energy so perfectly. She gave us such peace through the wedding journey with her confidence and vision. She helped map out our general timeline of the day, shots, etc. Gretchen did an amazing job capturing all of our guests. I cannot wait to work with Gretchen again in the future for more life event fun!!!

We hired Phern for our June 2021 wedding. She also took our engagement photos. They are the best photos we have ever received from a photographer! She knows exactly how to pose people and for candid photos. She doesn't have to look at other pictures to know where to put you or trying to decide. She has a wide knowledge of what to do. She is so fun to work with too! We loved her personality and was down to earth, which was great for us on what can be such a hectic day. She even helped bustle my train with 5 bustle points many times throughout the day. She was absolutely incredible to work with and we plan on working with her again. Hire her! You will not regret it!

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot. She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

Honestly, we're pretty bad at talking about ourselves, but here we are! We love taking photos, and are grateful we've been able to photograph for over a decade! Collectively our experience has brought us across the country (and globe!) photographing and filming weddings, families, and more for all different clients, specifically with a narrative cinematic feel. We have been working together since we met in college, married shortly after that in Southern California, and have lived in Los Angeles, the East Coast, and planted roots in Detroit. We are parents to two wonderful boys, and caretakers of two cats and a dog.

I had the pleasure of working with Jamie and Paul as a wedding planner. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and they were beyond helpful as we developed a rain plan for the couple. Despite the dreary weather, they managed to capture beautiful outdoor and indoor photos. I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again soon!

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

I believe in natural light, creative flow, and heartfelt gestures, and I let these beliefs lead my way as I work with you to create stylish and evocative works of art.

Jessica Dailey Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was great, efficient, and always positive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly elegant, creative, and they had such a positive energy that made the photo session seamless and easy. They came with so many wonderful ideas for photos and were open to anything we wanted to try. We couldn't be happier with the photos and are so grateful to Jessica Dailey Photography for helping to make our wedding day so memorable.

We are a husband/wife team who specializes in couples and weddings. After living in Michigan and capturing weddings there the last 7 years, we are excited to be back home in the Ozarks and look forward to meeting and serving couples in this area.

Clarissa and Tim were so on top of everything for us that we didn't have to worry about anything, they knew exactly what to do! They were very flexible with how the day went but still made sure to get all the key moments from different angles while being discreet. On top of being great photographers they are very sweet, respectful of boundaries for those they are photographing, and worked well with all the age groups at our wedding. All of our photos by them have been well complimented!
