We recently had the pleasure of working with Arie T Photography for our engagement photo session, and I can't recommend her enough! From the moment we arrived, Arie made us feel comfortable and at ease. Which really helped to capture our genuine emotions and connection in the photos. Arie's professionalism and creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses and settings while allowing us to showcase our personalities. Our original plan did not go as planned. I was really upset. Before we arrived Arie had a plan for us. The locations she chose were stunning and perfectly suited to our style. She saved the day! The raw photos were beautiful. When we received the edited photos….we were absolutely gagged! Each shot was beautifully composed and the edits were flawless, enhancing the natural beauty of the images.

My husband and I loved our experience with the Sound Originals team. We purchased the photographyvideography Rose package and thought it was a great deal. Kevin (our photographer) and Ben (our videographer) were amazing and so on top of making sure they got all the shots.  We absolutely LOVED the photos. Kevin was able to capture beautiful candid moments and was great at directing us for the couple and family photos. And wow, the video, I have not stopped replaying our wedding video since we received it a couple days ago. Ben did a phenomenal job capturing the essence of our wedding and vows.

Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.

Our Story. Thank you for considering Lasting Touch Photography. My name is Lori Jane, I am the owner and lead photographer. With over 20 years of experience freelancing for 4 studios and 3 newspapers, I decided to branch out on my own. I opened Lasting Touch Photography after the birth of my twin boys. As the business grew I added talented photographers and a Photo Booth rental service. Our team are talented artists, like me, who truly love what we do- capturing memories!

When I was looking at photographers and their portfolios, Lasting Touch stood out to me for their unique and down-to-earth photos. When speaking with them, it was easy, and no question was too "stupid" or novice. At the wedding, Mark was so easy to talk to and kind. He made everyone comfortable, and he fit in to our crowd so easily. Our friends commented that he would let them take a selfie and then said, "Okay, now do this and stand this way." They said the advice gave them the best selfies. This team is fantastic to work with, and I highly recommend hiring them.

JLB Wedding Photography

  • Serves River Rouge, MI

I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

I cannot say enough good words about working with Jeffrey. He did our engagement shoot in Ann Arbor and our wedding in Puerto Rico, and I can't be more thrilled with how our pictures turned out. We didn't want boring and overly traditional photos, and we really appreciated his graphic design flare. His photographs aren't just photographs - they're art. Not only will you get the most beautiful photos (and a few Gifs!) - but you get the pleasure of working with Jeffrey. He's professional and FUN and you can tell that he absolutely loves what he does! The vibes were always high - even when I was freezing in a dress outside in Ann Arbor in November and sweating in a wedding dress in Puerto Rico in June ;).

Hi! We're Kat and Omar - a husband and wife team, together and photographing weddings since 2015. We had our wedding in 2025 and everything that could have gone sideways, did! We're here to make sure yours will run stress-free and that you'll end up with photos that remind you of all the best, most unique parts of it. Reach out - we can't wait to meet you!

They were quick to respond to every question and brought such a friendly energy to the whole process that planning felt easy. On our wedding day, they captured every special moment without us even having to think about it—they just knew what to look for and when. Their photos are stunning and show how much passion they put into their craft. The quality of their work is exactly what we hoped for, and they made us feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire day. We couldn't be happier with Moon Rock Photography and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer.

There are no words to describe how blessed I feel to have found Emily as our wedding photographer. My wedding was the happiest day of my life (so far) and one that I will not soon forget, but as my memories start to fade, I know I don't need to worry because Emily not only captured every detail, but every emotion of the day. She genuinely captured the scenes so poignantly that I am transported back to that time to feel each moment again. She really is that good. With Emily you will get a variety of stunning shots. Some could be sent straight to Vogue and some straight to Mom and Dad's frame, which is exactly what we were looking for. Not only is Emily an amazing photographer - she's also just an all-around great person to spend your day with! She is so sweet, calm, professional, and fun. You don't even realize you just spent 3 hours taking pictures! Emily also did our engagement shoot as part of our package which we recommend as it gave us a chance to work with Emily before the big day and build the relationship. Not to mention we got awesome photos to use for our save-the-dates and website! We cannot recommend Emily enough. This is someone I feel so confident vouching for to all my family and friends. You are truly in the best hands on your most special day, and you'll have the photos to prove it!!

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.

I’m Erin - Aries, born and raised in Metro Detroit. I’m drawn to everything and anything colorful, love going to music festivals/concerts and traveling. I follow waaaaay too many meme accounts in Instagram and will watch a documentary about pretty much anything and anyone. And when I say documentary, sometimes that means reality shows ;)

Erin is a true artist. The pictures she took on our wedding day were STUNNING. We truly treasure every picture she took -- both the posed and the candid. All of the photos felt original to us...no "typical" or boring wedding shots. In addition to her artistic talent, Erin is also very professional. She was great in her communications with us leading up to the wedding. She was helpful in giving us ideas and things to consider. Erin was on time on the wedding day and a very calming presence. Without even raising her voice, she was able to wrangle all our family members for multiple portraits. Erin is an absolute delight to work with and I cannot say enough about her beautiful work!

I was lucky enough to have known Shauna through my sister-in-law, who spoke so highly of her and immediately recommended her to be our photographer when we began planning our wedding. It was important to us that our vendors knew us—either individually or as a couple—because every single person involved in our wedding day was there for a reason. From the moment Shauna arrived until the very end of the night, she made our day truly special. When she delivered our gallery, that feeling was only further solidified. She captured every detail of our day—even moments we never thought to include. She was our coordinator, our hype girl, our visionary, and our artist. Since sharing our gorgeous wedding photos, we’ve received countless comments about how incredible our photographer was. And even that doesn’t come close to describing her work. Shauna is truly a master of her craft, and we could not recommend her more. We love you, Shauna! Thank you for being such a special part of the best day of our lives. — Kody & Candis

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people.

Through my love of journalism, I discovered that photography wasn’t just about documenting events—it was about connecting with people, telling stories, and capturing emotion in a way words simply couldn’t. It was during my college years that I also met my husband—we worked together at a coffee shop. Now, years later, we still start our days with a quiet cup of coffee, soaking in those simple, meaningful moments. That’s what I bring into my work as a wedding photographer: a deep appreciation for both the big, emotional milestones and the small, fleeting moments that make your love story yours.

Honey Peak is absolutely the BEST photography out there. We booked them for engagement and wedding photos and I can’t even begin to describe how much I adore them. I haven’t even seen the wedding pictures yet (we got married yesterday lol) but I know I’m going to love them because of how much I loved the engagement session. Blake was our photographer for both, with help from Dalia for wedding night, and he had the most creative ideas for pictures and made everyone in the room feel super comfortable. The pictures are so unique and you can tell how passionate he is about photography, he is absolutely WONDERFUL at his job. He is super attentive and detailed with his work. Whenever we need to get any pictures done, I will 100% go through Honey Peak again no questions asked. 10/10!️

She was super responsive and FaceTimed with me anytime I was stressing or had questions. After we had our final meeting a couple of weeks before my Wedding, I felt so good and so confident. Stephanie helped me figure out the perfect time for my Ceremony based on the best lighting and made sure I had time for all the photos I wanted. Come Wedding day, I could not have been happier. She arrived early to scope out my venue and the best spot for our First Look and Portraits (which were the most important to me). She remained so calm and collective, a true professional yet it feels like she was one of my best friends throughout my entire Wedding day. I was seriously so comfortable around her and you can tell by how the photos turned out! They are stunning!!! I would choose her over and over again if I could. Thank you Stephanie!

Breanne was so much more than our wedding photographer – she was such a steady, calming presence and truly became a friend throughout the entire experience! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond, even traveling to Chicago to photograph our engagement session in a place that means so much to us. On our wedding day, she kept everything on track, checked in on us, and stepped in wherever needed so things felt smooth and taken care of. She went far beyond what you expect from a photographer – helping with little things like fixing a veil or fastening a bracelet, and just being someone we could rely on throughout the day. That kind of care meant so much. Her work is just incredible. She captured the joy, the laughter, and all the in between moments in a way that brings us right back to how happy we felt that day. So many of our guests, family, and even vendors commented on how amazing she was and how well she captured everything. We feel so lucky to have had her as such a big part of our wedding and cannot wait to work with her again for future special moments!

Hey there! I’m Dakota, and I am the face behind the camera. I’m married to my adventure companion and partner in everything. We are blessed with two very daring and creative kids, I’m sure you’ve seen 1 or 2 pictures of them, Sawyer and Dax. I have a mad case of ‘Wanderlust’ and if I am not chasing after my littles, or working – we are probably on or planning an adventure. I am pretty pumped to meet you and help capture the moments that mean most to you!

Dakota and Meghan were amazing to work with! They made taking photos a breeze by being upbeat and fun. They brought some great ideas for poses and locations near our venue that they've used with other clients and listened to some ideas that we wanted to incorporate. Sunflower has a great questionnaire that they provide before the wedding to capture all the details about our day, including a shot list and who we wanted for family pictures. This made the family portraits a quick process on the day of our wedding since they knew who we needed to grab to take photos. My special needs son hates having photos taken, being the center of attention, and loud noises. They worked with him to get him to smile and to move through the photos we wanted to include him for as quickly as possible to capture the special moments while making him comfortable. We received sneak peeks the next day and can't wait to see the rest of our photos!

Hi there, I'm Kandra! I'm a wedding photographer for the authentic, fun, and completely in love couple! I'm based in Livonia, Michigan but I'll travel anywhere across Michigan and beyond. Most days you’ll find me reading a good book, catching up on my favorite TV shows, or of course, behind the camera! I love adventures, discovering new places, and trying new restaurants.

Kandra was amazing to work with and we are so happy with all of the photos. Both the engagement session and wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Kandra had such a positive and fun attitude. Throughout the whole process Kandra was always organized, thorough, professional, and so easy to talk to! Kandra was so easy to work with and welcomed our ideas. Within a day Kandra gave us some sneak peaks of the wedding day and had all of our photos back in a reasonable time. I have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and I would highly recommend her! You will not regret hiring Kandra!

ON HIATUS until further notice. Hi there and congratulations! This is a very exciting time in your life and I'd love to help you navigate the sometimes confusing process of finding the right photographer for you. Your photographer is someone you'll spend a lot of time with on one of the most memorable days of your life so it should certainly be someone you feel comfortable with and someone you can trust to help you enjoy your day and look your best. I hope I can be that person. But if not, I'd be happy to help you find the right photographer for you. **We are fully booked for 2021 and are now booking 2022 from our new Omaha, NE location!**

Beki is an absolute joy to work with. I have hired her on multiple occasions. She is amazingly helpful to have on a wedding day. She has always been on time. I don't have to follow her around throughout the day making sure she is capturing what we'd discussed. One thing that really stands out, is her extensive knowledge of weddings. She is right there to throw the veil, hold the light, or organize an unruly wedding party. In any situation, she rises to the occasion to put your needs and the needs of the couple first. She has great customer service. Lastly, she delivers quality images that offer an artistic variety. I very much enjoy working with Becky on these crucial days, and I highly recommend her.

Amber Marie Photography

I have always loved telling a story through photographs. Since high school I've been obsessed with taking pictures. That obsession carried on into my college ambitions and I ended up with a BFA in Photography from the College For Creative Studies. Since graduating in 2011 I started freelancing and soon wedding and portrait photography became my calling.

We’ve only seen the preview photos from our wedding and they are beautiful! Each shot perfectly captures the emotions of the day and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved. Amber truly felt like a friend from the start, which made the entire experience so comfortable and easy for us -- a couple who has never been in front of a camera together. She blended in effortlessly with our guests and we received many compliments from family and friends about how great she was. During the family photos, she was helpful with making sure everything went smoothly while kindly managing the "list" when others tried to jump in for a photo. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and look forward to having Amber capture our next "milestone" photos. Amber, thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day and for capturing our day so beautifully!

Hi there- I'm Shannon. I specialize in weddings because I love documenting others' joy and happiness. I believe love is love and everyone has a story worthy of being told.

Shannon has a very high standard of work that shows in the photos she produces. I knew I wanted a "true to color" style of editing and she edits the photos so beautifully.

Working with her has been a 10/10 experience from day 1! Highly recommend trusting Shannon Ferguson Photography for your big day - you won't be disappointed!
