“We worked with Promani Weddings for our wedding photography. We spoke with Ben originally to set up the contract. He was very accessible and prompt to respond to our questions. Our photographer for the day was Malak. She was amazing! We love the photos from the day and are so grateful we will have these memories for years to come. Aside from gorgeous photos, she was also a lovely person and incredibly kind. She made sure we got each of the photos we wanted, was flexible when changing around the order of the shot list, and she had some great ideas for locations given it was a somewhat wet and overcast day from the rain. We are so very pleased – thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!”

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 ;)

“Erin is incredibly empathetic and kind and her approach will make you feel at ease throughout the entire process. Erin went above and beyond in making sure we had the engagement shots and wedding shots that we had dreamed of! She is helpful and caring and lent a hand more than once on the big day, making her feel more like family than our photographer! She is wonderful to work with and her photos are bright, cheery, and individualized. We are in love with our photos and can't thank Erin enough for capturing our special moments.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Chettara made everything so easy. She made us feel confident when deciding to book with her or not, answering questions and being completely transparent in packaging her services. Leading up to the wedding she only reached out when necessary, allowing us to focus on everything else. Day of, she was early to explore the venue, finding locations for later; in place for every planned and unplanned moment; and the most comforting and reassuring photographer. We were glad to have booked Chettara but once we received the photos we were over the moon with happiness in our selection!”

Amber Marie Photography

Detroit, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

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.

“We’ve only seen the preview photos from our wedding and they are beautiful! Each shot perfectly captures the emotions of the day and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved. Amber truly felt like a friend from the start, which made the entire experience so comfortable and easy for us -- a couple who has never been in front of a camera together. She blended in effortlessly with our guests and we received many compliments from family and friends about how great she was. During the family photos, she was helpful with making sure everything went smoothly while kindly managing the "list" when others tried to jump in for a photo. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and look forward to having Amber capture our next "milestone" photos. Amber, thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day and for capturing our day so beautifully!”

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.

“From our first conversation with Brandie, we knew we had found the right photographer for our wedding. She was quick to respond, genuinely excited about our day, and paid close attention to every detail we shared with her. Brandie became our biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process and wasn't afraid to put her foot down on behalf of us if needed! On our wedding day, she was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which shows in every single shot. The quality of her work is flawless and truly captures the essence of who we are as a couple. If you're looking for a photographer who cares deeply about her couples and delivers stunning images, you will not be disappointed booking with Brandie. Our wedding pictures were everything we wanted and more!”

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.)

“Erika has been my favorite photographer to work with since we met a few years ago. I just love her work! As a DJ it is important to be able to work well with vendors. Especially the ones capturing the big day. It has always been very easy for me to work with Erika and her team so I recommend her every chance I get. I have noticed over the years that she is naturally a creative fun and easy going person which in my opinion is always a great quality for a wedding professional. I look forward to working with Ericka and the whole itclicks team for years to come.”

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!️”

“I don't know where to start! Stephanie with Sunny Days Photography helped to make our day go so seamlessly! Due to COVID, we had to change our Wedding Day plans quite a bit and Stephanie helped us every step of the way to figure it out. She was super responsive and FaceTimed with me anytime I was stressing or had questions. After we had our final meeting a couple of weeks before my Wedding, I felt so good and so confident. Stephanie helped me figure out the perfect time for my Ceremony based on the best lighting and made sure I had time for all the photos I wanted. Come Wedding day, I could not have been happier. She arrived early to scope out my venue and the best spot for our First Look and Portraits (which were the most important to me). She remained so calm and collective, a true professional yet it feels like she was one of my best friends throughout my entire Wedding day. I was seriously so comfortable around her and you can tell by how the photos turned out! They are stunning!!! I would choose her over and over again if I could. Thank you Stephanie!”

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.”
