Cheleana has a piece of my heart, actually. She is so much fun to work with. We booked her for our wedding and she was so warm and welcoming from the very beginning, by the time we’d finally met up for our engagement shoot I’d felt like I’d known her forever. She had us laughing and comfortable the entire time, took the time to really get to know us, handcrafted a playlist based on our music tastes, and just genuinely put her whole heart into it. She was there for us every step of the way, too. She helped us find our DJ, checked in often, and offered to help with anything she could. I never once felt bad for asking her for help - she feels just like a friend to me. On our wedding day, she helped keep everything moving slowly, was always down to try any creative ideas we had for photos, and hyped us up all. Day. Long. Our photos came out so beautifully- so dreamy and whimsical, and perfectly captured our energy. They are truly, everything and more. Working with Cheleana far exceeded our expectations. She is an absolute treasure and I adore her. Will absolutely be booking her for any photography needs I have in the future.

Couldn't be happier with this vendor. They did our engagement shoot as well and all of our photos have been stunning. Not only are they responsive and friendly, our photography & videography team went above and beyond for us.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Southgate, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am not sure where to begin… we hired JLB to capture our wedding day and it was one of the best decisions we made in the process. He is a true professional. From our very first inquiry meeting, we knew his energy, kindness, and vision were exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Our engagement photoshoot was the first time seeing him in live in action and for two people that aren’t so comfortable in front of the camera, his confidence and demeanor allowed us to have so much fun. On our wedding day, I can’t begin to describe how celebrated he made us feel. It felt (and still does) so surreal. JLB give us an experience that a couple could only dream of on their wedding day. He truly directs the day to make sure everything goes to plan. We had only interacted with him a few times before, but he made us feel like we knew him for years. JLB made us feel like the only two people in the room, while making sure our guests have the same experience. I can’t even count the amount of compliments we have received from our guest on his kindness, talent, energy, and all of the photos we have shared. The photos are AMAZING!! He allowed us to feel every emotion of that day, while capturing all of our favorite moments. His vision, quality, and eye for architecture are truly unmatched. Our wedding photos feel so true to us and timeless. We can’t recommend him enough. Go book him now!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Creating truly unique wedding photography starts with seeing more than the moment itself. Every location offers its own light, architecture, textures, and atmosphere — and I use those elements with creative composition to create photographs that feel distinctive and personal. By keeping the experience relaxed and embracing the natural rhythm of your day, I'm able to create images that don't just document what happened — they capture it in a way that feels intentional, immersive, and truly different.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!️

I don't know where to start! Stephanie with Sunny Days Photography helped to make our day go so seamlessly! Due to COVID, we had to change our Wedding Day plans quite a bit and Stephanie helped us every step of the way to figure it out. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kandra is THE BEST!! She was the best vendor we booked for our wedding. Not only was she reliable in her communication, but she was so kind and positive through every step. It really felt like she was cheering us on the whole time! We received our photos back quickly and they turned out amazing! Kandra captured the happiness of our day perfectly and we will cherish our wedding photos forever. I can’t recommend Kandra enough – you will be so happy to have her on your team!

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 the absolute BEST to work with! She is always the person I ask to be my second shooter, before anyone else! She goes above and beyond to assist and is always willing to do what is asked of her without a moment's hesitation. Her work quality is phenomenal and her character is unwavering. I recommend Beki Walkup Photography 1000%!!

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.

Amber did a great job at our wedding! The previews we've gotten so far are fantastic! She was really easy to work with, very friendly, and helped us get great shots that didn't feel too staged or unnatural. Her editing is great too and just what we were looking for! Highly recommend!

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. As an award-winning wedding photographer, I've photographed over 200 weddings and I've worked with some of the most prominent studios in Michigan.

Shannon Ferguson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Shannon's communication style was fluid, fun, and incredibly attentive - she made us feel like we were her top priority throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Shannon's creativity shone through as she seamlessly captured all the special moments, finding the most stunning and breathtaking backdrops for our photos without ever feeling intrusive. The final images are truly works of art that we will cherish forever. Shannon's ability to be present yet invisible during the ceremony resulted in the most beautiful and natural shots that perfectly encapsulate the joy and emotion of our big day. We are beyond thrilled with the value and quality of Shannon's work, and cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.
