About Meininger Media
Meininger Media
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.
By the end of the wedding, I'm equal parts photographer, hype woman, and professional problem solver. I'll fix your dress, carry your drink, wrangle your family, keep an eye on the timeline, and hype you up like we've been friends for years. Detroit, Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, all over Michigan, or wherever the hell you're taking me. I'm there.

Best EVER! Captured All Special Moments Perfectly
If you want the most beautiful and thoughtfully captured photos, Katy is the BEST! We had the pleasure of working with Katy for our engagement and wedding photos, and it was the best decision ever! Katy was so caring, professional, organized, easy to work with, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and especially when we needed it most, on our wedding day. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful—every special moment was perfectly captured. Our album is so elegant, natural, fun, and just absolutely magical. Everything we wanted and more! We are so thankful for the memories Katy has given us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer!
Katy Meininger•Mar 27, 2025Thank you, Nikki. 🥹 I'm so so so thankful for you + Trent.

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER
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.

Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!

Michigan's Best Kept Photography Secret
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.
Katy Meininger•Jun 24, 2024Okay I'm actually crying. You are the absolute sweetest, thank you for these kind words. Your wedding was such a beautiful experience. Thank you again and again for having me. Honored to call you both friends now.

Best Photographer Ever!
Hiring Katy was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Our pictures are beyond perfect! We love every single one and friends and family still rave about them even years later. She brought so many fun ideas for different poses and made sure that we got every single picture that we had on our list. It really felt like she tailored how she shot to fit us as a couple and our pictures definitely show it! All of our pictures have our personality in them and they are just absolutely beautiful! If you’re looking for a photographer that will not only deliver gorgeous, one of kind photos, but will also radiate kindness and positivity - Katy is your girl! She is so wonderful to be around and is just unbelievably talented.
Katy Meininger•Jun 24, 2024Ahhhh thank you!!! I'm so glad everyone still raves about your photos + you two love them so much.
