“There are no words to describe how blessed I feel to have found Emily as our wedding photographer. My wedding was the happiest day of my life (so far) and one that I will not soon forget, but as my memories start to fade, I know I don't need to worry because Emily not only captured every detail, but every emotion of the day. She genuinely captured the scenes so poignantly that I am transported back to that time to feel each moment again. She really is that good. With Emily you will get a variety of stunning shots. Some could be sent straight to Vogue and some straight to Mom and Dad's frame, which is exactly what we were looking for. Not only is Emily an amazing photographer - she's also just an all-around great person to spend your day with! She is so sweet, calm, professional, and fun. You don't even realize you just spent 3 hours taking pictures! Emily also did our engagement shoot as part of our package which we recommend as it gave us a chance to work with Emily before the big day and build the relationship. Not to mention we got awesome photos to use for our save-the-dates and website! We cannot recommend Emily enough. This is someone I feel so confident vouching for to all my family and friends. You are truly in the best hands on your most special day, and you'll have the photos to prove it!!”

Chettara T. Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
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.

“People are RAVING over our photos and we are OVER THE MOON at how gorgeously she captured every moment and detail. She knows how to capture EVERY skin tone, every color and get the vibe exactly right. HIRE HER TODAY. Very queer friendly and supportive of all families. 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!”

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!”

Michele Maloney Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Detroit, MI
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

“From start to finish, Michele was an incredible partner to us. Her energy and excitement brought so much to the planning process and she always made us feel like we were the center of her universe. Then, when it came to the wedding weekend, she was nonstop. We were so incredibly impressed with her and her team - they were everywhere, capturing everything. We don’t think a single moment was missed, and she went WAY beyond what was asked of her. We even got comments from family and guests about how amazing she was and how we were going to have a miserable time trying to pick what photos to hang around our house. Nothing ever felt forced and she completely matched our energy all weekend long. She was energized yet grounding at the same time, and it was exactly what we needed on a day full of both excitement and nerves. We only have a preview of our gallery so far, but we look at the photos every single day and we know this will not be the last time we work with Michele. We had quite high standards for our photos and would absolutely recommend her a million times over to any couple looking for their photographer.”

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!”

  • Serves Detroit, MI

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.”

“I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.”
