Previously Emily Kyle Photography. Emily Dahuron is a Detroit, Michigan based wedding photographer capturing both large and small scale events on digital and film. She is a destination wedding photographer covering events in France, Italy and all of Europe as well as Tulum, Mexico and elsewhere as well as throughout Michigan.

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.

Not every wedding is the same — your photos shouldn’t look like everyone else’s. Moments are shaped, not forced — using light, composition, and environment to create imagery that feels natural, intentional, and truly yours.

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.

An elevated wedding photography experience. I photograph love the way it feels — refined, emotional, and timeless. Storytelling for modern love stories. Moments are meant to be remembered exactly as they were felt.

I’m Erin - Aries, born and raised in Metro Detroit. I’m drawn to everything and anything colorful, love going to music festivals/concerts and traveling. I follow waaaaay too many meme accounts in Instagram and will watch a documentary about pretty much anything and anyone. And when I say documentary, sometimes that means reality shows ;)

I’m an IT professional by day, a photographer by night, a mom & wife every second of the day. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m married to my soul mate and together we have two young, rowdy boys that we have LOTS of fun with. I grew up in Argentina and that’s shaped me in more ways than I can explain. I have a deep rooted connection to people & places and often wear my heart right on my sleeve. I am very ‘laid-back’ & focused when in a photo session. I do more looking than talking to make sure I get the vision just right. I provide specific direction when it’s needed and vague direction to get the intimate candids.

I am a wedding photographer of 11+years, based in Michigan but always traveling! I specialize in couples and visual-storytelling! I absolutely love what I do every single day. It would be an honor to be a part of life and capture these memories for you!

Hey! Hello! What's happening? I'm Erika, owner and lead photographer of It Clicks Photo. I love learning about your love story, how you knew your significant other was the one, and any embarrassing stories you two have endured over time. I'm sure I have a few I feel the need to tell you about, too! I'm a very accepting, down to earth lady who values and appreciates your authentic- straight to the core- self. Capturing your wedding day fills me with life, and makes me feel all butterfly-ish and bubbly inside. Can't wait to meet you both! (PS- I love to travel! There isn't a place I won't go- honestly.)

Honestly, we're pretty bad at talking about ourselves, but here we are! We love taking photos, and are grateful we've been able to photograph for over a decade! Collectively our experience has brought us across the country (and globe!) photographing and filming weddings, families, and more for all different clients, specifically with a narrative cinematic feel. We have been working together since we met in college, married shortly after that in Southern California, and have lived in Los Angeles, the East Coast, and planted roots in Detroit. We are parents to two wonderful boys, and caretakers of two cats and a dog.

Working as a wife and husband team suits us perfectly, and our unique blend of skills and personalities has earned us rave reviews. Shaun is a wizard with composition and framing, capturing elegant details and evocative facial expressions with equal finesse. Rosy puts everyone at ease with her infectious laugh and boundless energy, expertly scooting people into place for perfectly un-posed portraits.We work in perfect synch, ensuring that each moment is depicted from multiple visual angles.

I capture the stuff that makes you stop, take a deep breath, and remember that moment. That thing that happened. Those words he said. Every once in a while, I'll get asked why I do what I do. It's not everyone's dream job to haul around a ludicrous amount of camera gear on most Saturdays….but it's been my dream job for a while. I mean a long while...since the days of film…and I get to spend my days capturing raw emotion and making some crazy awesome photos for people. It's a total thrill.

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.

We're a husband and wife who fell in love and then found photography. From the early stages of our marriage a camera was always nearby. Now our photography reflects who we are two quiet souls seeking to capture moments that mean the most. Following each scene as it unfolds documenting everything as if it were a scene from a movie. That is what sets us apart.

Hi, I’m Hollie Johnson. I’m Michigan native with a flare for photography and adventure. When I’m not hanging out in a studio or behind a camera, I’m typically running through the forest with my trusty hound or the local rock climbing gym hanging around. Life is a wild adventure and sometimes it’s beyond our control. Bringing clarity to chaos is my speciality. My aim is to capture all those crazy, busy, fun, beautiful and wild moments and let them unfold naturally to reveal the story that lies underneath.

I’m the girl behind the camera, but before I go into the business side of things, I want to tell you a little bit about myself. I live in the beautiful state of Michigan, but I consider myself a world traveler and will go anyway to see the beauty of this earth. I love being outside, cuddling with my doggy, and binge watching Friday Night Lights (over & over again). I also have a huge obsession with white cheddar popcorn – YUM! Anyways, I love meeting new people and listening your story, so I hope that you message me so we can get to know each other and work together.
