C’est La Vie was absolutely fantastic to work with her work is beautiful and I would highly recommend booking her for anything you need photography. Photos for my engagement session was gorgeous. My wedding photos are absolutely stunning and she sends sneak peaks very quickly after wedding which is so nice to have while waiting on the other photos. She was great to work with the Day Of and leading up to. She was very reliable and was able to be reached at basically any time of the day I would definitely book her again in the future for anything that I will need photos for. Thankyou Tonya for bringing my wedding to life

Julia Cuddy Photography 

5.0

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

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jen was absolutely incredible to work with! From the very beginning, her communication was clear, prompt, and so reassuring. She brought such a friendly, calming presence to our wedding day and truly went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos she captured are absolutely stunning. We can’t thank her enough for being such an important part of our wedding day!

Hello, I'm Rich...I’m a wedding photographer for couples who want their day to feel natural, meaningful, and true to who they are. From palliative care nursing to raising twins, I’ve learned to bring a grounded, intuitive presence to every step of the process. I prioritize clear, prompt communication and thoughtful planning calls so we’re always on the same page. When details are aligned and the process feels calm, you can be fully present, resulting in a smoother experience and more genuine, true-to-life images.

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin is nothing short of amazing. She has such a vision and has been an absolute pleasure to work with even during the pandemic (probably the only vendor that was fully supportive and flexible during the difficult process). She was very easy to get a hold of when I had any questions, reliable and keeps you on time (terribly hard to do during your wedding). Not to mention when she is complete editing your photos the way she presents them to you is AMAZING. It's all about the little details with her. If I could give 10 stars I would.f

Hi, I'm Madalyn Muncy-Piens, the lady behind the lens over here at Madalyn Muncy Photography. I'm not into being the center of attention so I keep your wedding ALL ABOUT YOU. I'm all about balance, so I'm the perfect combination of organized and flexible, proactive yet not overbearing, knowledgeable but not bossy, and a comforting presence both with and without a camera in hand. When you hire me, you get someone who genuinely cares about comparing photos of our dogs, sharing recipes for dinner, and listening to your book recommendations. Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

Awarded Best of Zola
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! 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.

We loved working with Danielle. We decided to hire a photographer on super short notice and she was able to accommodate us; she did a lovely job making our families feel comfortable and catching shots both candid and posed. We've already printed an album and thank-you cards -- we're so grateful to have these photos!

Michigan-based wedding, elopement & lifestyle photographer. I call my style naturally posed/documentary. My galleries are filled with both artfully posed photos and candid moments. I will be your biggest hype woman (:

I found Heidi Koerber Photo scrolling through instagram and it ended up being the best vendor decision we made for our wedding. Heidi had great communication - she responded thoroughly and thoughtfully to all my emails and texts, and was so incredibly helpful every step of the way leading up to the wedding. She helped me tweak and finalize my entire wedding timeline, and I would not have gotten through my wedding day without her calming voice and guidance. Heidi's photos are beautiful, thoughtful, unique, authentic, and joyful - her work truly speaks for itself. She is the sweetest, and booking her as our photographer was a decision I would make over and over again.

Teresa photographed a friend’s wedding years ago and I always knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding too. She did a fun couples shoot for us a couple years back as well at the fair and those are some of my favorite photos of us to date! Every time we work with her she is professional, kind, so easy to work with, and captures us perfectly! We loved having her there to document our elopement day and can’t wait to have her capture our family as it hopefully grows over the years. Thanks Teresa, you’re the best!

I am Aaron Daniels, a published photographer and filmmaker based in Metro Detroit. I love capturing the moments that matter most, from the first look to the last dance, and telling the story of your day through photos and video. I see myself as an extended family member on your wedding day, bringing a calm presence, jumping in to help, and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. For me, it is all about starting families, sharing your joy, and creating timeless memories you will cherish forever.

We received our photo gallery and were in such awe. I knew when booking with Aaron that he had the photography style we were looking for - but getting the photos back exceeded all expectations. It was also such a breeze working with him. It had felt like we were working with a close friend that was able to allow everyone to relax and truly look candid and enjoy the day. I went into this not really having a shot list and Aaron and his team delivered everything I didn’t even know I needed! I could not recommend Daniel’s Portraits enough and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Since 2012, I’ve grown from a point-and-shoot camera and a dream into a 5-star-rated, award-winning photographer. Encouraged by my fiancé and family, I built a business rooted in capturing life’s most meaningful moments.

I also give back through community projects and my annual tradition of donating Christmas toys to the local children’s hospital. I’m honored to help preserve your story, one photo at a time.

I was beyond pleased with our experience having Jessica as our photographer for our wedding! She was very efficient with communication and making sure we had everything in place for the big day! When the day came she was so good at picking poses and different photos to take and worked so well with me having my dogs incorporated into my photos! She also got our photos back to me so fast I couldn’t believe it! The photos were absolutely breathtaking! Would use her again in a heartbeat!

The quality of their work is truly outstanding, and the photographer has an incredible eye for the most flattering poses. We've only done our engagement session so far, but the results were amazing - she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, and the pictures came out beautifully. We can't wait to see what she captures on our wedding day!
