Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Promani Weddings for photography and videography on our wedding day. Upon the initial call with Benjamin, we could tell we were in good hands. Everything was done so seamlessly and we had check-ins multiple times throughout the planning process. Our photographer Rayna was absolutely amazing! She was great with coordinating our timeline, identifying photo opportunities, and was very personable with everyone. Our videographer Austin was equally as amazing! He was able to capture all of our favorite ceremony and reception details throughout the day in our wedding video. You can tell they have a passion for capturing authentic moments, and the photos speak for themselves. Our family and guests continued to comment throughout the day with how impressed they were by their professionalism, attentiveness and hard work.

JLB Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
Detroit, MI
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,900

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!!

A rave review does not do Shauna justice! She is beyond words unbelievable. I booked her very early in my wedding planning process and she was so accommodating start to finish (years lol). We did our engagement session with her in 2022, and she made us feel so comfortable. My husband does not like doing the cheesy photo thing but Shauna's images and her presence working with us.. Nothing cheesy about it! My husband thanked me for finding her during that session then again on our wedding day because she is in human form, a saint! Her personality is so friendly and makes you comfortable and her professionalism is levels above excellent! We just received our preview, and her website is laid out so nice and easy to navigate, can't wait to see the rest of her vision on our wedding day.

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.

People are RAVING over our photos and we are OVER THE MOON at how gorgeously she captured every moment and detail.

She was funny and kind and kept us moving through photos and on time. SIMPLY THE BEST.

Her communication was efficient, caring, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process when sharing inspiration photos and talking. The quality of her work was fast, beautiful, and truly outstanding. She finished styling the hair of 9 girls beautifully and quickly, leaving ample time for any last-minute touchups. Melody was so nice and I couldn't imagine having anyone else do my hair on my special day. As someone who is very self-conscious about my thin hair and worried about it not looking good, Melody made me feel absolutely beautiful and did an amazing job!

Katie was an absolute gem! She made a beautiful video that captured the best moments from our wedding. Her song choice, along with seamless transitions, truly created the most amazing wedding short film that I will cherish forever. Aside from her work, she was so kind, flexible, and patient! I was pretty specific in what I liked and didn't like in wedding videos and she was so accommodating and understanding of my vision. She made us all feel more than just a job for her. She took time to get to know us, cared about our other interests, and was SO reliable and communicative through text messaging. She stuck by us through all of the uncertainties of COVID and was just so easy to work with. She cared about our well being during the actual wedding day, always lending a hand if she saw we needed anything at all. I HIGHLY recommend Katie and 97 films!

Choosing The Colony Club as our wedding reception venue was one of the best decisions we made. After getting engaged, we toured multiple metro and downtown Detroit venues with the hope of finding something elegant, classic, and timeless. Many were beautiful—but when we walked into The Colony Club, we immediately felt that this was the one. The entire style and vibe were exactly what we were looking for. We fell in love with every space—from Bar Charles to the breathtaking Grand Ballroom. We were also impressed by how much was included without extra add-on costs: tables, chairs, food, liquor, signature drinks, and more. It made planning easier and helped us stay within budget. From our very first meeting, we worked with Amber, our sales manager, and she stayed with us up until the week of the wedding. Amber was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She was helpful, organized, flexible, and so easy to communicate with. We met multiple times at the venue, both with and without her, while making decisions for the big day, and she was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and offer thoughtful advice. Amber took care of coordinating with our other vendors, and I never once felt worried about how things would come together. Even during the stressful week leading up to the wedding—when I was emailing and calling constantly—she was patient, reassuring, and truly amazing to work with. Now the food… wow. It was exceptional! We still have guests raving about everything—from the appetizers to the entrées. The service and quality exceeded all of our expectations, and friends and family continue to tell us what an incredible wedding it was. From our very first appointment with Amber to the moment our reception began, we could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. We will always look back on our wedding day with so much gratitude, happiness, and appreciation that we chose The Colony Club. If you’re considering this venue, trust me—you will not regret it!

We are so happy that we chose the Whiskey Factory as our wedding venue! From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything. The cocktail tasting was SO fun, and one of our favorite parts of the planning process! Fast forward to wedding day–our wedding could not have gone more perfectly! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink. We also purchased an empty barrel for our guests to sign, which has become an awesome addition to our basement bar! Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was. We will forever relive our perfect day and cannot recommend the Whiskey Factory enough. Thank you Amelia, Alyssa, and The Whiskey Factory Team!

Stumbled upon JSPhotos at a bridal expo & was instantly captivated by her charisma and kindness. During our planning/booking process, she really took the time to understand our vision for engagement photos and absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. She suggested multiple locations that met our needs and was flexible regarding the payment process. During our photos, we felt so relaxed, which is odd coming from two people who typically shy away from cameras! The turnaround time after the shoot was quick, and the images we received, honestly, became instant family heirlooms.

The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.

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!

  • Solo performer

The Ambience A cocktail / dinner pianist sets the mood for any room. Right from the start the magic works, especially when, a pianist studies his craft and work as I have. Carefully selecting and rearranging each song, I've come up with a truly knock out sound, suitable for background music. Can play up to 4 hours of continuous music.

I’ve seen Gerald in multiple fascist of entertainment. He has never disappointed. I heard Gerald for the first time at our Club, then again at another venue in Detroit. Two totally different environments. He can swing with the best , or Mellow it out playing solo with his piano. After hearing Gerald , I knew a found the perfect music for my daughter’s wedding reception, not only did he play solo welcoming our guests into the room . He later got together with the rest or his band , which included two great singers , they made the party . Gerald has been in the music business for a long time . He is a true professional and a great coordinator. You will never be disappointed. John Srabian

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.
