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!

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.

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.

Julia Cuddy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Waterford, 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!

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!

Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Wendy was an absolute dream to work with for our engagement/wedding! The thing I love the most is her communication skills. She was very attentive to any and all questions that we had. The day of our wedding she did a great job coming up with a timeline to accommodate all of our family photos and making the day run smoothly. On top of that, she was EARLY with her sneak peak turnaround time and we got tons of photos! To top it all off, we got our final wedding gallery in less than one month. Wendy captured our wedding day in the most beautiful way and we will remember our day forever. Do not hesitate to make Wendy a part of your wedding day, she was the absolute best to work with!

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 photographed my Mexico destination wedding and I absolutely couldn’t be happier. Not only did she capture every intimate and beautiful moment, but she also brought a fun and relaxed energy to what could have otherwise been stressful family management. Her style is elegant and fanciful in a way that makes me feel like I’m living in that memory every time I flip through our wedding album. I couldn’t recommend her enough and only wish I had more events to drag her across the globe for!

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.

Erin shot my wedding and made my day absolutely incredible! To be honest I was so happy to get married that I didn’t do the best job of delegating and knowing every single photo I wanted. But it was like Erin read my mind. Every single moment I would want captured from that day was caught in an even better way than I could’ve imagined. She somehow managed to freeze our emotions and our love from that day and actually helped inspire me and my love of photography as well! She does a great job of keeping everyone on track and doing the hard things that you don’t want to be in charge of on your wedding day. I highly recommend her!

I loved having her as a photographer for my wedding, she told us how to pose and communicated everything so well, she looked up places to do pictures and was emailing about how the day would go that really eased my mind for the anticipation for the big wedding day! She gave me my pictures back very fast, within two days I had received all my pictures and they looked awesome!

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!

Jen is amazing. Book her right now, you won’t regret it. Seriously, do it. Both my husband and I were a bit camera shy and nervous about getting our professional photos done but from the moment we met her, Jen put us at ease. Not only did we feel comfortable taking photos with her, but I felt she really captured us, our joy, and our love for each other in all of the photos. After our wedding she sent us hundreds of photos, and every single one is a treasure that I can’t stop looking through. We’ve gotten so many compliments and many have said these are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. She’s so committed to you, she even stood in a down pour and slid down a wet hill to get the perfect first look photos. Book her, you will not regret it.

Working with Madalyn is dream a come true! I will say that a hundred times over. Throughout our wedding planning process, especially in this time of change and uncertainty, we couldn’t help but to compare all our other vendors to Madalyn and the way she runs her business. No one else even measured close! Madalyn is organized, proactive, supportive, honest, and obviously has an eye for both detail and aesthetic. Our communications with Madalyn leading up to our day were a perfect balance of face-to-face conversations and seamless digital interactions. When our wedding day finally arrived we felt like we really knew her and completely trusted her. I thought we couldn’t love Madalyn anymore, but then we received the final product -our gallery. Madalyn captured a thousand memories so perfectly that we’ll truly treasure forever. A particular photo is so classically beautiful that we exclaimed, “That’s it! That’s the photo we’ll show our grandchildren someday.” Thank you again, Madalyn!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marci is nothing short of incredible. She truly “told a story” with our day. I frequently look through our pictures that she took from our wedding day just to relive it over again. You won’t even know she’s there. She just quietly captures EVERYTHING. She is professional, on time, and makes you feel totally at ease when it comes to your pictures. She’s been a part of so many weddings that she knows where to be and when to be there. She’s quick to adapt to any situation and makes you feel as though nothing else matters except for this day at this moment. She exceeds expectations. If you don’t want to worry about your pictures on your wedding day, Marci Curtis is the best photographer there is.

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!

Chrissy is BEYOND AMAZING to work with - her photos are dreamy, whimsical, magical and make your heart so happy to look at! She was our photographer for our engagement photos, a boudoir shoot, and our wedding photos. Not only is she talented, but she is intelligent, creative, and flexible. Every photo-related snafu we had (including an engagement photo session where we forgot one of our outfits), Chrissy had a solution and handled it with grace. Chrissy is customer-service oriented, communicates clearly and effectively, and is kind and comforting as most of us are not used to having professional photos taken! If you are looking for an awesome photographer, look no further - Chrissy is your girl!

Jodi and Bryan here! As you plan your wedding, we’re here to help capture every special moment. Based in Troy, Michigan, just north of Detroit, we love telling your unique love story through beautiful photography.

Had the please of working with "J" for years while in the photo biz myself. She has the eye to capture the best possible images. She was trusted enough to photograph my own daughter's wedding here at Milkhouse Meadows. "B" brings both technical savvy and creativeness that will make your images stand out. Their vision, timing, and ability to set up a shot brings out the best possible images. The proof is in the pictures!

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!!

I'm quirky, colorful, I swear a bit too much, I love a good whiskey, and I love really hard. I'm not a mushy person who will say they "love love" but I love a good love story. I'm here to help keep the family in check during your family pictures and I'll keep you dancing on the dance floor all night long.

Becca was easy to communicate with, especially since we were in different states! She was flexible with our timeline and offered a lot of recommendations in regards to clothing and makeup. During the photoshoot, she had great insight on where would be a great backdrop and wasn’t afraid to let me know when my smile looked fake! We are so in love with our photos and the ease of working with Becca…I would recommend her for absolutely anything you need photographed!

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
8 years ago I became an Astrid Cordier Bride and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life! Looking back at my wedding day, the most valuable thing to me by far is the unbelievable photos! It is my most beloved memories of the day I married my soulmate and best friend, and also the day my mother was still alive- walking me down the aisle! I cherish these everlasting memories captured perfectly on the photos that my children now admire, and that their children will one day look at and talk about. Our photos will pass from generation to generation and I am proud of my photos. Astrid Cordier captured each moment perfectly! She made us feel confident & beautiful in front of the camera and she could even get my husband (who does not like photos in general) to smile and enjoy taking each photo! I will book her services for as long as I live. Soon when my 10 year anniversary comes up, she will surely be the first person I contact to take the photos at our Wedding vow renewal ceremony. Highly recommended!!! I am proud to call myself an Astrid Cordier Bride!

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!!!
