Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is a top-tier wedding photographer. We did an engagement session with her prior to booking her for the wedding, and she was quick to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. After booking the wedding with her, Ashley gave us many vendor recommendations and even helped us find our officiant since that was something that we were struggling with. At some point between the engagement session and wedding, Ashley called us and told us that a conflict with our wedding date came up and that she needed to be out of state that day. She had already come up with a few options to present to us, and we chose to keep our contract and let a different photographer fill-in for Ashley. Ashley knew this photographer, had worked with her before, and trusted her. And we trusted Ashley. Having the other photographer fill-in for Ashley worked out seamlessly and I was never worried about it because of all of the discussions we had. The week before the wedding we had a final consult call with Ashley & the other photographer where we discussed every last detail. This was great because it put us all on the same page, plus let us voice our opinion on a few topics (timeline details/what types of photos to prioritize/etc.). I left this call feeling confident that the photographer knew what needed to be done on the day of the wedding and that I wouldn't have to worry whatsoever that she would miss anything. I would book Ashley all over again EVEN if I knew that she wouldn't be the one actually taking the photos!

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?

Awarded Best of Zola
Tonya had a lovely, quality approach to capturing our special day, and her knowledgeable expertise really shone through. Tonya's very chill vibe matched our own and helped ease any stress on the wedding day, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. We got our preview photos very quickly which is always nice - and we can't wait to see them all, we know they'll be stellar.

Choosing to have Shuhrat capture our special day was one of the best decisions we made! She is the kindest person and puts your mind at ease. She is a joy to work with. She was able to honor all of our requests and kept us on track all day. We wanted a lot of candid shots and she delivered (see photo) She was organized and friendly the entire time, even during the more chaotic moments. I even texted her a few weeks before just to talk about wedding stress and she helped me a ton. We did not have to worry about giving her direction the entire evening, she just knew what to do and what to capture. We are so excited to see how the shots come out. Already the sneak peeks look phenomenal! We wouldn't trust anyone else to capture these memories we want to look back on for the rest of our lives! (are we already thinking ahead to future family photo sessions with her?? absolutely!)

Julia Cuddy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Royal Oak, MI

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.

Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day! Service we chose: 8-hour package with engagement photoshoot To Julia: thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing. You played such an important role in our day. We talk about how we miss you already and hope we can plan some photoshoots in the future!

So, I'm focused on your desires and interests.

Nicole was amazing! We talked for a few months before the proposal date and she was very responsive and easy to work with. She always had suggestions when I asked and had an amazing set up idea with the flowers I gave her for the proposal. Lastly the early pictures came out great!!!

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!

Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!

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.

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I made a spreadsheet, compared pros/cons, & interviewed several photographers. Some of them felt ok but nothing felt great, I worried the overall cost of things was souring my decisions. Then I interviewed Kate Diamond – I left the interview feeling GREAT. She had an answer to EVERY question (& I have a lot of questions), her enthusiasm was contagious, & I immediately felt confident that I could trust her to handle the day. She was extremely detailed, communicative, & clearly had a formula figured out that ensured success. I’ll be honest, her overall price for what I wanted was more than my other options by quite a bit. I had an internal struggle if it was justifiable to spend more money just because someone gave me confidence or peace of mind. My fiancé thought I was ridiculous spending even $1,000 on photos, & close friends would suggest we use some random person who takes photos as a hobby. I couldn’t shake the confidence I felt in her & decided to go with my gut. I felt immediate relief as soon as I booked her & absolutely knew she would rock it. We opted to have her & a 2nd shooter for 9 hours & they were amazing for every second of it. They were very professional, quick, organized, & worked well within the chaos that surrounds large events. They handled rambunctious groomsmen with ease & kept the day on schedule. Katelynn was great at providing specific posing direction, as needed, to help guarantee the perfect shot. She even helped pick out some last-minute jewelry choices! Not even mother nature could slow them down, & they took magical photos of our first dance in the rain. I received so many compliments from people the day after our wedding about how our photography team conducted themselves. People were already impressed & hadn’t even seen how the photos turned out! We received our online gallery with all event photos less than a week after we returned from our honeymoon. There were almost 1,200 photos & they are dreamy. I knew they would be good, but I fall in love with my photos more & more each day. The worst part is trying to choose a favorite when I’m trying to order a canvas or something to hang on the wall – I want them all to be seen! Trying to choose only 40 for my fine art album feels impossible. I don’t think my SO has ever been prouder of a photo before & my MIL said she has never seen prettier wedding photos in her entire life. Two other people that I know were married this year, both selected a photographer that was more ‘affordable’, & both had regrets once seeing my gallery. The difference in quality & overall experience is clear. We have had endless compliments about the photos we have shared, & every penny spent is justified. When all is said & done, you really don’t have much else to show from your perfect day – it absolutely flies by & becomes a blur. Do yourself a favor & savor it all in the best way possible. Get a 2nd shooter, the package with 100% of your photos, the longest package you can afford, & do a First Look. Pay for the travel if you need to, it is totally worth it. If you want certain photos, be specific, write it down, make a list of the people you want included, etc. I guarantee that if you tell Katelynn what you want, she will do everything in her power to make it happen but it’s on you if you don’t share your thoughts. How someone makes you feel is worth it, spend the money on someone who relieves stress instead of adding to it, confidence is money well spent!

I'm Catie- a Port Huron, Michigan based wedding and couples photographer. My passion for weddings started as I planned my own (10.14.23 baby!) and I decided to jump into wedding photography full time. Weddings are such a precious time and my goal is to showcase your love story. A little more about me: I love tacos & margaritas, iced coffee, traveling, and reading.

Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain and simple. From the first day we met, it felt as if I was speaking with my best friend (professionally of course). Over the months leading up to our wedding day, she was a shoulder to lean on when I was feeling overwhelmed, she offered ideas according to what I wanted and helped keep me on track. She even helped me with making my bridal bouquet! Our wedding day was chaotic but Catie was my sounding board when it came to keeping us on schedule and my family/friends loved her! Now onto her pictures, I love her style (light and airy) not overly color saturated and natural! Oh and she also does boudoir complete with a leather bound book! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. So if you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!

Savannah did an AMAZING job. Her hubby was there to help and both were so patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire ceremony and reception. We had multiple calls to go over our wedding timeline and what to expect. She always communicated and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. We had a few changes and she adapted quickly. She also helped ease my nerves on our big day. From our first look, to walking down the aisle, first dance, and family photos. When I look back at my photos I feel all the butterflies again. It was important to capture every detail since we did not do a video photographer. And she did exactly that! She sent us some sneak peaks and we got to share those moments with family and friends and they had nothing but amazing things to say about her as well. If I could to back and do it all again I would choose her again and again!! I can’t recommend her enough!!! Thank you so so much. Can’t wait to work together again.

Emily and Dave from Yellow Tree Photography did our engagement/wedding photos, and the photos we received were absolutely incredible! For our wedding photos in particular, they captured the day so perfectly and in such a beautiful, bright natural light. Our photos reflect the beauty of the day and how beautiful I felt as a bride—full of love, surrounded by people I love, marrying the man I love. I knew the photos would hold important memories of the day, but I had no idea how deeply meaningful they would be until I got them back and saw how gorgeous we all looked. Our friends and family were equally stunned, Our photobook will be a treasured keepsake for ever! Both Emily and Dave are immensely talented, and their skill alone is worth recommending to anyone looking for a photographer. They were particularly exceptional to work with for our wedding because of how easy they made everything. They were always thoroughly prepared, quick to respond, always on time, and kept the schedule moving the day of our wedding. It was such a relief to have them help prepare us for our wedding day and then guide us through it. I highly recommend Yellow Tree Photography; you will absolutely love your photos and especially appreciate their steadiness to gently guide you through your wedding day.

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

Sam was a dream come true. She perfectly captured our personalities and love for each other throughout the day. The photos turned out amazing and Sam was a blast to have at our wedding.

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!

I had the pleasure of working with Jen for a wedding back in November of 2023. She was great! From the get go, she was nice, and easy to work with. Very patient and communicative. She payed attention to every little detail, and those are what matters the most. Weeks later, I saw her pictures from that wedding, they were stunning! Very unique poses and ideas that she captured. I can not wait to work with her again. If you’re looking for your wedding photographer, don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

I hired Madalyn for my wedding in 2020, and have since recommended her to every bride I've met! No one in my family was necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, but Madalyn has a way of calming people and getting them to relax. We have beautiful posed photos from our wedding, but some of my favorites were the natural, candid shots! Additionally, she is always responsive and timely; she delivered sneak peeks of our pictures just days after our wedding, and the rest of our photos came exactly when she set the expectation for delivery. If you're looking for a vendor who is personable, calming, and kind, she's your gal!

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.

My husband and I have worked with Marci on many occasions and every time it is amazing. She makes you feel confident, comfortable and gorgeous all at the same time. Her work ethic is unlike anyone else we’ve worked with. She has a fast turnaround time which always blows our minds. Marci is the top photographer in Michigan and the best we’ve ever worked with. 10/10 recommend working with this talented, creative, kind individual. You’ll be so happy you picked her!

Hi, I'm Hannah! I am passionate about capturing love in the most authentic and candid way possible. Hannah McLane Photo is designed for the modern + chic couple! Every love story is unique and I love representing that through my work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah is amazing! She went above and beyond for my big day and it made my wedding that much more perfect. She’s so easy going but also directs as she needs to. She even stayed longer than she was supposed to in order to get extra photos my families were asking for. You were the one thing I didn’t have any worries about for the wedding. I couldn’t recommend Hannah enough, you’re our forever photographer! Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly! Our engagement session was also so much fun and the photos were even better than I expected! I had never done a professional photo shoot before and Hannah made it so easy!

Hello! My name is Kelly. I am a 32 year old mother of 3, wife of 11 years, hobby farmer, and have a love for photography! I have a special place in my heart for outdoor weddings. I am all about capturing those warm, vibrant tones: think golden sunlight, rich greens, and colorful blooms. If you are planning on saying "I do" surrounded by nature, I would love to be your photographer!

Kelly has been doing photoshoots of our family for a couple years now so it was only natural that we asked her to shoot our wedding! She worked with me to create a realistic photo timeline, ensuring I got everything I wanted and more! I love the way her photos capture authenticity in the moment without being overly staged. Kelly is super fun to work with and I look forward to every shoot I have with her! My wedding photos are GORGEOUS and you need to book her right this second!

My love for photography started when I was young, and flourished as I continued to educate myself in the art and technicalities of photography while attending the College for Creative studies where I received my BFA in Photography in 2016. I absolutely LOVE love, and my biggest goal on your wedding day or during your session is to make sure you're constantly smiling, laughing, and enjoying every moment you experience. I love all of the little moments in life, and I try to showcase those emotions and feelings through every image I capture. I'm based in Lower Michigan, but I am more than happy to travel worldwide for you!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt is by far one of the best single shooter photographers I have ever met. He is everywhere he needs to be to get all of the amazing shots you want. He is so easy going and professional! You will love every single picture he takes and it will be hard to pick what ones you will want in your wedding album, and on your walls. He gets to know you on a personal level and listens to what you want. He is the best!!

I photograph mostly lifestyle sessions and weddings in the metro detroit and surrounding areas. I'm passionate about capturing the raw beauty of life and love through photography. Everyone's story is different and I am so here for it. Let me capture your story for you, or even better, lets be friends. I friggin mean it.

I filmed a wedding video alongside MacLachlan Studio who was our couple’s photographer and the day couldn’t have gone any better. Despite the ceremony location being changed last minute from outdoor to indoor, it was smooth sailing between I, MacLachlan Studio and the rest of the vendors. The couple was ecstatic about what we delivered too them! I look forward to working with MacLachlan Studio again!

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Astrid is by far the only photographer I wanted for my dreamy farm wedding! We were so privileged that she could capture our special big day! She has an impeccable eye for artistic and unique photos and captured all our special moments that I can forever keep! She is worth every penny! Thank you so much for all our amazing memories! I cannot recommend her enough!

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! I have had a love for creating for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I drew everything as I saw it and I think that's why photography feels so perfect. It's an absolute dream to be an artist by trade and capturing special moments is a job I take to heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kindred Light has a way of capturing the moments you can't plan. Any photographer can capture those planned shots - those do not speak to their ability. Danielle has an eye and ability to capture the moments that speak the emotions without words, sounds, or captions. Being able to capture personality, emotion, expression, desire, and intent is something rare to find. Being able to have those moments/memories capture from our weddings is something we are forever grateful for! There is not a monetary value that you can put to those moments/memories!!!
