Mike Staff Productions Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, informative, and engaging, making us feel completely at ease and confident in their abilities. On the day of the wedding, Vesna and Taylor were not only incredibly talented and creative, capturing the most beautiful, warm, and artistic photos, but they also went above and beyond to make sure every detail was documented, including special photos involving my great grandmother's handkerchief and a touching moment with my grandmother. They were so gracious in taking any photo requests from our guests as well. The entire experience, from booking to the engagement session and the big day, was seamless and resulted in high-quality photos that we will cherish forever.

Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially went with Sound Originals out of cost consideration and ease of booking because their combined photo/video package seemed so much more cost effective than many of the quotes we were getting from individual photographers and videographers. We assumed therefore that the quality might be a bit diminished by comparison, but were quite pleasantly surprised to discover that this was not the case! We are beyond pleased with the coverage they provided of our wedding and reception, and would certainly recommend Sound Originals to anyone seeking photo/video of their big day. Our team on the day of the wedding were absolute rock stars. Kate, Trung, and Travis all were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond in ensuring we had excellent photos and video--both candids and plandids. We're so grateful to each of them for their excellent work! If you're considering booking Sound Originals, there is one practical consideration we might offer, however: Their business model seems streamlined to provide a standardized product and level of quality to many clients at once by contracting with local photographers and videographers--this is great for ensuring that clients know what to expect visually and that the company has backup photographers ready in case any members of the assigned team can't make it, but this also seems to come at the cost of personal touch when communicating with the company and the photo/video team. Our communications with them were always through a portal on their website and often felt rather impersonal. This was a trade off we were perfectly fine with, given the very affordable price we paid for our package and the piece of mind in knowing that even if our lead photographer got sick or something, someone else would be there to fill in. If you, however, require a high level of customization or personal touch and want to cultivate a close relationship with your photographer, then you may want to hire a photographer/team directly.

When we first got engaged and we found tonya i expressed how worried i was that we had never done photos before and had no clue what we really wanted but i knew i didnt want them to look posed i wanted our emotions to show through. She was very understanding and helpful she sent me some pictures shed done before and then i went pintrest crazy :). Then i found out i was pregnant and we decided to postpone our wedding she was super understanding and happy for us and stayed in contact with us as we tried to come up with a new date. I absolutely loved working with tonya she did an amazing job on our pictures i swear i fall more in love with them each time i look at them. She also worked well with some of the nerdy pictures we wanted which envolved harry potter and star wars :). I had something i wanted to change in one of our wedding photos(she was already done editing our photos) for a Christmas gift for my husband and she was all for it and it turned out absolutely perfect.

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

She captured every shot we wanted plus extras we didn't even know we needed, and her attention to detail really shows in the final photos. Jen communicated with us throughout the day, asked what we needed, and worked smoothly with our other vendors to keep everything running on schedule.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Lapeer, MI

I’m Julia - people always ask me how long I’ve been a photographer for and the cliché (but true) answer is for forever. I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I worked for the Field Museum photographing meteorites during my college years in Chicago, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry when I moved back to Michigan, and worked in a studio photographing everything from seniors to pets. It wasn’t until 5 years ago I decided I loved photographing weddings and couples. I feel like they’re all connected somehow. I'm lucky I found my niche and even luckier that I got to run with it.

Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day! Service we chose: 8-hour package with engagement photoshoot To Julia: thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing. You played such an important role in our day. We talk about how we miss you already and hope we can plan some photoshoots in the future!

Hi, I'm Kendall, a portrait and wedding photographer based in Fenton, MI. As a photographer, I view every shoot as an opportunity to capture the beauty in the little moments- to make a masterpiece out of something that, to the naked eye, would seem mundane. My mission is to capture your story as beautifully as you've lived it.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough amazing things about Kendall! She has done two different photo sessions now for my husband and I, one of which was our super secret elopement and she freakin killed it!! The photos from the day were a huge priority to us considering it was just us and our two best friends, and I’m so glad to say that Kendall literally blew us away and everyone who sees the photos has complimented how wonderful she did. She took our first ever formal photo session together and even though we were walking into it feeling sort of silly and awkward, Kendall made us so comfortable and did an incredible job of capturing our genuine personalities. She is the absolute sweetest and she knows how to hype you up when you need it! We have found our lifelong photographer and I seriously could not be any more grateful. I recommend her to everyone and can’t say enough great things about her!

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, nurturer, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three. I've been a full time photographer since I graduated from UMich and absolutely love what I do. Weddings are my happy place. I'm both calm and fun. I take my job seriously, but wedding days are a ton of fun and so I have a good time too... being creative, bonding with clients and enjoying capturing love stories. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos. As one of my clients put it, "It’s wonderful energy to be around someone that loves what they do."

What can I say? Working with Marci was a blast! She was laid back, fun to be around, professional, on time and very helpful. She’s worth every penny. Because we were ahead of schedule, we were able to take photos at a cool park close to our reception venue. The photos were so fun to take and she really got us into it. I’m certainly open to hiring her again for future events!

She has such a vision and has been an absolute pleasure to work with even during the pandemic (probably the only vendor that was fully supportive and flexible during the difficult process). She was very easy to get a hold of when I had any questions, reliable and keeps you on time (terribly hard to do during your wedding). Not to mention when she is complete editing your photos the way she presents them to you is AMAZING. It's all about the little details with her. If I could give 10 stars I would.f

Hi, I'm Madalyn Muncy-Piens, the lady behind the lens over here at Madalyn Muncy Photography. I'm not into being the center of attention so I keep your wedding ALL ABOUT YOU. I'm all about balance, so I'm the perfect combination of organized and flexible, proactive yet not overbearing, knowledgeable but not bossy, and a comforting presence both with and without a camera in hand. When you hire me, you get someone who genuinely cares about comparing photos of our dogs, sharing recipes for dinner, and listening to your book recommendations. Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Madalyn was probably the best photographer we could have asked for, it was like having a friend instead of a vendor throughout the day. She just does a great job of capturing candid and genuine emotion, and after getting all of our photos back we loved how she was able to capture us (and pretty much everyone else) looking great and having fun without being overly posed. In addition, she was so incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire process, she got us our timeline and I was able to use that to build the rest of our day-of-schedule around it. She communicated early and often and always made sure she got the list of required photos we wanted so we didn’t miss anything. Since she also hadn’t photographed at our venue before, she set up her own meeting with the venue before the wedding to get a tour and walk-through so it wasn’t a surprise on the day of the wedding. She was assertive when she needed to be to wrangle our families for photos but otherwise was extremely flexible in getting shots if the plans changed! Especially since our wedding was late in the winter and we decided against a first look, she made sure to have a lighting assistant on hand to help coordinate additional flash and we got some great evening photos, and the second shooter who helped out had some awesome ideas for important shots too. Also, she got us engagement photo sneak peeks within 24 hours and got us our wedding sneak peeks (40+ photos!) within 48 hours of our wedding. She just made the entire planning experience and photo sessions so comfortable and fun.

Heidi had great communication - she responded thoroughly and thoughtfully to all my emails and texts, and was so incredibly helpful every step of the way leading up to the wedding. She helped me tweak and finalize my entire wedding timeline, and I would not have gotten through my wedding day without her calming voice and guidance. Heidi's photos are beautiful, thoughtful, unique, authentic, and joyful - her work truly speaks for itself. She is the sweetest, and booking her as our photographer was a decision I would make over and over again.

I love capturing the moments that matter most, from the first look to the last dance, and telling the story of your day through photos and video. I see myself as an extended family member on your wedding day, bringing a calm presence, jumping in to help, and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. For me, it is all about starting families, sharing your joy, and creating timeless memories you will cherish forever.

We received our photo gallery and were in such awe. I knew when booking with Aaron that he had the photography style we were looking for - but getting the photos back exceeded all expectations. It was also such a breeze working with him. It had felt like we were working with a close friend that was able to allow everyone to relax and truly look candid and enjoy the day. I went into this not really having a shot list and Aaron and his team delivered everything I didn’t even know I needed!

I'm always here to make sure your event runs smoothly, and you have beautiful works to remember it by. Currently, I am focusing more on micro weddings and engagements.

The Larson Lens were the perfect wedding videographers for our special day. As a longtime friend, their communication, as always, was professional, generous and prompt. They made our wedding video and took backup photos, providing an amazing service we otherwise would not have even considered. The quality of their work was high-quality, high-value and truly impressive - I am absolutely blown away by the wedding video they made that I watch every year. They even came through for us when our original photographer had difficulties, ensuring we had beautiful memories captured of our wedding. We highly recommend The Larson Lens to any couple looking for talented, reliable and thoughtful wedding vendors.

Hey! I'm Christina- an elopement + intimate wedding photographer based in Michigan and travel worldwide. If you're looking for the traditional wedding photographer- you won't find that here. An adventurous spirit and a sucker for true love. I yearn to capture those wildly intimate moments for ALL couples. I'm here for the wild souls, the madly in love, those who romanticize the world around them. Capturing honest love in the most beautiful places on the planet is what fuels my fire. If you are seeking cinematic, documentary style art- you're in the right place.

Christina is absolutely wonderful! She is one of the most creative photographers you’ll ever meet. I just knew she would capture all the special moments to remember, and she did just that. The detail she puts into editing is pure magic - you can tell she spends a lot of her time pouring her passion into her work. My surprise proposal photos that Christina captured of my fiancé and I were just so lovely – I had to ask her if she could be there for my wedding in Maine and she joyfully accepted. I would recommend Christina to anyone who loves the moody and romantic side of photography – you won’t regret it! I will cherish these photographs forever!

We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.... someone has said, and they couldn't have been more right. Photography is my passion, and I love everything about it. From finding the ideal place to take photos and enjoying a cup of coffee going over a photoshoot. My name is Denisa Rama, and I stumbled into photography my freshman year in high school, and every day I do my best to become better.

Denisa is fantastic to work with. She was the photographer for my sisters wedding and I was so impressed with how easy she is to work with and the gorgeous photos. We have now been using Denisa for our family photos every year for the past 3 years. She does a great job working with our kids and getting them to smile and I’m always impressed with how well she captures us. I would definitely recommend for your next photo needs.

Hello there! My name is Mariah Kasten and I am a Michigan Wedding Photographerphotographer. I love watching my couples interact and seeing their love for one another. I have absolutely fallen in love with couples, engagements, and wedding photography. As an extrovert, I find it so fun to meet so many couples and capture these moments in their lives. I would love to work with you and capture some beautiful moments in your life!

We hired Mariah for our wedding this December and I cannot express how amazing she was to work with! She is highly professional and her work is stunning! She was very flexible the day and checked in on me and my husband through out the day to make sure she captured all the shots we wanted. She already gave us a large sneak peek and I am so glad we picked her as our photographer for our big day. I cannot thank her enough for everything! I would highly recommend her to any couple out there searching for their photographer.
