HI! I’m Mel. I’m a wife, mother, want-to-be chef, and the creator of Mel Anne Photography LLC, specializing in Detroit Michigan based Wedding and Portrait Photography Services. My mission is create beautifully authentic images, that take you back to a moment in time. I love timeless imagery with a fun and upbeat feel mixed with classic romance.

“Melissa was everything we could have wanted from a photographer and more! She is kind, knowledgeable, steadfast, professional, friendly, helpful, proactive, insistent, flexible, joyful, and all around fantastic! Her portfolio can speak for itself, I mean just look at those shots! They are timeless and capture the essence of each couple perfectly. What really drew us to Melissa though, was her unique ability to capture the candid moments. Looking through our gallery, there were of course the fantastic formal photos and more guided shots, but my absolute favorites were all of the other shots, the in the moment shots. She does a great job of capturing people in their best light, even when they’re not posing. Based on how flawless our engagement shoot with her went and how stressed I (the bride) was on the day of our wedding, we were a little nervous about the pictures. The engagement shoot was so smooth and we vibed together so well. The wedding day was very overwhelming and we both were worried that it would show on our faces. But every time Melissa was around (which was often thank goodness!), we were both immediately more calm. We had to pause looking through the gallery because they were too good and we were crying too much. 

We cannot recommend Melissa more! She is top of the line, folks!!!!! For what it’s worth, we are both 29, got married in East Lansing / Grand Ledge Michigan, and bought “The Ultimate Package” (which was super worth it!!)”

Bold, unfiltered wedding photography for couples who want their photos to actually feel like them. You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need a Pinterest-perfect wedding. And you definitely don't need to tone yourselves down for my camera. I'm Katy, a Detroit wedding photographer capturing the big feelings, belly laughs, happy tears, packed dance floors, killer portraits, and all the beautifully chaotic shit in between. Most of my couples tell me they're awkward in front of a camera. Good. Those are my favorite people. My job isn't to turn you into models. It's to give you enough direction to look damn good while still letting you be yourselves.

We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.”

I truly believe that a wedding day is as magical as the first snowfall — both fleeting and beautiful in their own way. As time goes by, those precious moments start to melt away, and as the saying goes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' There’s something deeply rewarding about capturing the perfect moment, but the real magic happens when you see the look on someone’s face as they experience that moment for the first time. It’s as if the photo becomes a timeless treasure, something they can hold onto forever, and that feeling? It’s truly indescribable!

  • Serves Sterling Heights, 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!”

Hey there! I'm Nicole! I am a confident and raw documentary Detroit wedding photographer serving couples with enthusiasm and sincerity. I am uniquely gifted at blending into the background from center stage and guiding you through the day with ease. I believe that integrity and sincerity outweigh popularity. So, I'm focused on your desires and interests. Yes, I'm a professional wedding photographer who has been in the business since 2012 with published work, but it's not the "pretty" pictures that matter. It's you! You're the reason I started pursuing my passion over 8 years ago. ​

“Since the beginning, Nicole has demonstrated her expert knowledge and supreme professionalism. She always delivers, is punctual, and has constantly exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail and respect of the craft produces beautiful imagery that is has a candid quality, but also has a certain modern dreamy aesthetic that I love. She is also so excellent at direction. You may think you'll feel awkward in front of a camera, but she provides you a worksheet to help understand your preferences and comforts and work around those. But even then, in the moment you just feel so happy and trusting with her that you will learn to be more at ease and trust in the process. She will guide you to the perfect poses, and even fix your hair, your veil and layers of tulle. (Seriously, thank you so much). Nicole also offers excellent recommendations on vendors, timelines, and provides numerous check ins and worksheets to keep you on track. Everything is carefully planned out and I love that. It helped me immensely to know where I'm at, where I should be, and what's to come. I also was super impressed with her second shooter Taylor. Both of them together captured the most lovely images, and I can't wait to get them printed. Another thing that I appreciated, was her blogs on her website, that dive into detail about her process and even the fact that she has numerous back up methods – which is something you don't think about unless you're in the digital industry. It's a huge sense of relief knowing Nicole has everything squared away so you can simply focus on your big day. I could go on, but I'll stop here and remind you that Nicole is the best in the business and worth the investment and more.”

“Lyndsay is a phenomenal photographer and great human!! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot, we knew she was a great fit. She brings great energy and direction to a shoot and captures the essence of her clients in such a beautiful way.
