Christina is absolutely wonderful! She is one of the most creative photographers you’ll ever meet. I just knew she would capture all the special moments to remember, and she did just that. The detail she puts into editing is pure magic - you can tell she spends a lot of her time pouring her passion into her work. My surprise proposal photos that Christina captured of my fiancé and I were just so lovely – I had to ask her if she could be there for my wedding in Maine and she joyfully accepted. I would recommend Christina to anyone who loves the moody and romantic side of photography – you won’t regret it! I will cherish these photographs forever!

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.

Hi, I’m Katy—a Michigan-based wedding photographer who loves to travel! I’ve been capturing love stories since 2016, blending vibrant, warm, and moody vibes with a mix of documentary, candid, and romantic styles. I’m a goofball at heart, so if you’re worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, don’t be—we’ll have fun and create photos you’ll love. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m enjoying good food (send me your bar and restaurant recs!), live music, or cheering on the Detroit Red Wings. Let’s connect and tell your story your way!

From the moment we decided to go with Katy from Meininger Media LLC, we knew she was the perfect fit. She was so easy to talk with and communicated with us every step of the way, always supporting our ideas and willing to listen. Katy was a joy to have at our wedding, and everybody there loved her. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning - we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her there. The quality of her work and the value she provided was incredible. We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.

Julia Cuddy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Washington, 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!

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.

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!

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. I have been on this journey as a wedding photographer for over a decade. I have been taken to so many places that I would have never been to if it weren't for my wonderful clients. I have shared the most beautiful, important and heartfelt moments with my couples, their friends and their families.

Just finished another amazing session with Wendy... From our family photos over the last decade to our son’s first birthday photos…and most recently our elopement early July, Wendy captures the most perfect moments and emotion. The candid in-betweens she captures always end up being my fave, and I am so thankful I can always trust her to capture our most cherished moments! Will continue to turn to Wendy for years to come!

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, nurturer, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three. 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, bonding with clients and enjoying capturing love stories. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos.

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!

From the very first interaction, Jen Marie Imagery demonstrated perfect communication, making the process incredibly easy and well-organized. Their work was simply amazing - they captured every moment of our wedding day flawlessly. Jen and her team were super friendly to work with, and we would absolutely use them again if we ever needed a photographer in the future. We highly recommend Jen Marie Imagery to anyone looking for an excellent wedding photographer.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been in the wedding game for many years. I have seen it all. I have worked with all types of people. I want to give my honest opinion about this company: E.J.O. is absolutely top notch. The last event that we worked together was to say the least a very demanding wedding that required us to all be on our A games. Let me put it this way, a lot of photographers would have probably walked out due to stress and time constraints. EJO held it together, controlled the situation like a pro, and absolutely NAILED it! The event went off without a hitch. Without such a professional company working alongside mine (at Rockstar Weddings), i’m honestly not sure how things would have turned out if they had hired someone different. I personally was shooting video that day so I literally was with the photographers from EJO nearly the entire event. I cant recommend EJO enough. You get what you pay for in this industry. Highly recommended!

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!

We hired Madalyn to take our engagement photos and to photograph our wedding, and she was the absolute best. From the very beginning, she was super on top of everything, with multiple questionnaires over the course of the year leading up to our wedding. She made a schedule for our wedding day that we were able to share with the rest of our vendors and included so many useful details. Besides how organized and pleasant Madalyn was to work with, her photographs were incredible. She captured so much joy in her pictures and we could not be happier that we hired her for our wedding.

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!

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!!

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.

Im passionate about documenting your big day in a way you can be brought back to the moment and feel the excitement and passion every time you look at your wedding album. Photographing your wedding is as important to me as it is to you, and it not a job I take lightly! Every couple has a different list of important items to be captured, and my goal is to serve you and your partner in the best way possible, capturing the shots most important to you, plus the little in-between moments you didn’t even know that happened.

Working with Sammy is an absolute dream. I am so grateful not only for her talent, but her kind heart. Sammy goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Sharing funny stories, telling you how amazing you look, etc. and she quickly becomes your best friend in those moments. It’s an absolute pleasure being on the other side of her lens. Sammy captured my husband and I on three occasions so far. First we had an hour-long shoot at a very sentimental place for the two us, to serve as memories and wedding invitation/thank you photography and we quickly fell in love with her style and personality. Secondly Sammy came to our wedding welcome dinner for two hours to capture the space and the guests. She was a fly on the wall and did a phenomenal job capturing the evening and special moments of everyone gathering. Lastly, our wedding day - Sammy and her team went above and beyond. She did an hour of flat lays (which turned out incredible) and then 10 hours of coverage and kept the night moving along perfectly. She melded well with our other vendors and captured everything we could have hoped for, including chasing our car around for adorable get away shots. Her assistant even dropped everything to help us fix a minor emergency with our seating chart. Sammy and her team will exceed all of your expectations should you choose to work with her!

Green Holly Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Washington, MI

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!

We are so grateful that Holly was the photographer capturing such a special day for us! When we started the search for a wedding photographer, Holly was the only one already on our shortlist. I used to work for an organization that also hosted events, and one of the experienced coordinators mentioned in passing that Green Holly was one of their favorite photographers to work with. Even years later, it always stood out to me that a busy venue coordinator who had encountered so many vendors felt that Holly stood out. From the moment we met, she made us feel comfortable and confident that our wedding memories were in the best hands. Holly’s work really does speak for itself, and while it is easy to be impressed with her stunning portfolio, Holly behind the camera is even more incredible. She has a warm and calming presence that is invaluable on a day that can be beyond hectic. And her very straightforward approach made the entire experience as seamless and easy as possible. Like most couples, we met with a few photographers before booking. With each one, we communicated concerns that we weren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera or confident that we were super photogenic. Time and time again, we heard “oh, everyone says that and then looks like a model” which might be true but isn’t very reassuring. Holly took time to listen and understand what made us feel that way, which meant she knew how to pivot when needed to get us photos we truly loved. Her work is timeless, elegant, and full of life. The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations, and her ability to tell a story through her lens is remarkable – often capturing the tiny moments and emotions you simply can’t plan for. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and an absolute master of her craft, we can’t recommend Green Holly enough. Thank you for giving us such incredible memories to look back on!
