“Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.”

Detroit, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

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.

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

Detroit, MI
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

“Amber did a great job at our wedding! The previews we've gotten so far are fantastic! She was really easy to work with, very friendly, and helped us get great shots that didn't feel too staged or unnatural. Her editing is great too and just what we were looking for! Highly recommend!”

  • Photojournalistic style

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.

“Brandie is by far the best photographer out there. She was quick to respond to our questions and made us feel welcomed from day one. On our wedding day, Brandie brought such positive energy and warmth to every moment. Her genuine smile and personality made us feel like she was family rather than just there to do a job. We were blown away when she surprised us with a sneak peek Polaroid book during the reception, a personal touch that showed how much she cared about making our day special. Her work is absolutely fantastic, capturing personalized moments with high quality that we'll treasure forever. We can't thank Brandie enough for being such an important part of our wedding and for giving us photos we love.”

Genevieve Devries Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Detroit, MI

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 had no idea our small, low-key wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze sophistication, refinement as well as fun! Not bad for a simple courthouse wedding! If you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further. Genevieve did everything she could to empower and coach us into really just feeling like our best selves. At no point did we feel self-conscious. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Genevieve DeVries Photography”

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.)

“It Clicks Photo is simply the best! They were one of the first vendors that we picked and it was the easiest choice! The photos are bright, cheery and have a timeless quality to them! Our first meeting with Erika was over Zoom, which was so convenient, and we knew almost immediately that she was the person we wanted to spend our wedding day with! Erika has a bright, calm energy which is what any bride needs on her big day. Sarah was so chill and sweet. Together, Erika and Sara were one stellar duo! We cannot say anough good about them. We received a sneak peek that night and and extended sneak peek before our honeymoon! We were able to request edits, but the pictures were so great, the only edits I really requested were silly things like fixing my worn lipstick! I have so many great things to say, but the pictures are all you need to make a decision! Book them now!”

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.

“We cannot say enough about how wonderful Michele is. Our engagement photo session felt like we were with an old friend. She helped us find a few of our other vendors and periodically checked in, always seeing if she could be of assistance. Come wedding day, she was such a rock and we knew we were in great hands. All of my bridesmaids were raving about how wonderful she was! The photos turned SO PERFECT and we can’t wait to look at them for a lifetime. Do not hesitate to book with Michele!!!!”

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.

“I had the pleasure of working with Jamie and Paul as a wedding planner. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and they were beyond helpful as we developed a rain plan for the couple. Despite the dreary weather, they managed to capture beautiful outdoor and indoor photos. I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again soon!”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Honey Peak is absolutely the BEST photography out there. We booked them for engagement and wedding photos and I can’t even begin to describe how much I adore them. I haven’t even seen the wedding pictures yet (we got married yesterday lol) but I know I’m going to love them because of how much I loved the engagement session. Blake was our photographer for both, with help from Dalia for wedding night, and he had the most creative ideas for pictures and made everyone in the room feel super comfortable. The pictures are so unique and you can tell how passionate he is about photography, he is absolutely WONDERFUL at his job. He is super attentive and detailed with his work. Whenever we need to get any pictures done, I will 100% go through Honey Peak again no questions asked. 10/10!️”

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.

“This couple is amazing. Not only have our photos been absolutely gorgeous but having them around made our day infinitely better. We had lots of comical mishaps throughout our big day and these two eased tension and made everything a little easier. And seriously, the photos so far are everything we could have asked for and more.”
