The Sound Originals team were fantastic people to work with, not only due to their professionalism, but also because they were great people to have around. They were extremely comfortable and friendly while working with us and taking photos. Even when it came down to the dogs, 2 of which were panicking because they are rescues and being around so many people stressed them out, this didn't even phase the Sound Originals team which impressed me the most. Their professionalism with their gear was truly amazing to see (we have some professional photographers in our family who were commenting on this too), you could tell they knew how to handle their equipment. One thing that I loved was that they took the time to create cute photogenic moments to capture with the camera that would normally be over so fast, you would probably miss it. Every photo, from the goofy spur of the moment reactions - to the posed adorable moments, came out beautifully. Thank you Sound Originals for working with us! We couldn't have asked for better photographers.

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!

We hired Jen Marie Imagery for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the decision. From start to finish, Jen was easy to work with and always got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. 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. We got our photos back faster than we expected, and the quality is absolutely perfect. Jen delivers professional work without the hefty price tag.

Julia Cuddy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Oakland, 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.

Kendall is a phenomenal photographer and vendor to work with. She is so talented and natural behind the camera. My husband and I are not the most camera-confident people, but she made both of us feel so relaxed and poised the day of our wedding and our pictures show it. She is so tremendously gifted and professional to work with. I’ve looked at our sneak peaks 100 times since getting them and each time I am still speechless at the creativity and raw emotions she was able to capture on our day. They always say the photos are all that are left of your wedding and they are right; she captured them so eloquently and exquisitely, they’ll be something we will cherish forever.

The best decision I made was having Kate as our wedding photographer! I cannot imagine our special day without her.

She was amazing at communicating, answering my (many) questions, and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Throughout this process, she became a great friend as well. On our wedding day, she made sure we stayed on track with timing, and made it a priority to ensure my husband and I were taken care of. Her positive energy, flexibility, and expertise made the day so much fun and so memorable. Kate perfectly captured our love--her photographs are of the highest quality and have unique touches that represent each of her clients. We are so very thankful that we had Kate be apart of our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make our day everything and more!

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 Muncy was the photographer of our dreams. What initially drew us to her was her beautiful photos and that she is LGBTQ affirming. Then when my partner and I met with her, and we got to experience what an awesome, supportive, friendly, talented, and organized person she is. She was supportive and available throughout our wedding planning process – helping us envision what we wanted our day to look like, and to develop a timeline that helped us make that vision come to life. When we met to finalize plans before our wedding day, she created space for us to share with her our hopes for photos and any last-minute worries we had so that she could know how best to support us through the day. On our wedding day, Madalyn was proactive in helping us capture the love we share as a couple, beautiful and treasured family photos, and an abundance of candid shots of us speaking and singing and dancing. For one family member who had some insecurities about their appearance due to health changes, Madalyn was thoughtful in finding ways to capture absolutely gorgeous photos of them that we will treasure forever. A while after our wedding, this family member told us that Madalyn had made an effort to provide them some kind reassurance throughout the wedding day that she’d captured some really great shots of them. She has a gift in communicating with people of all ages (from young kids to older adults) to help them pose for genuine, beautiful photos. And wow, when we received our photo gallery, we shared so many happy tears. Madalyn had captured the most beautiful photos that tell the full story of our day, and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives. She has a gift in photography, editing, and we were deeply grateful for the opportunity to have her with us to capture our wedding day. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any of your photography needs.

Hi! I'm Danielle. I'm a Midwest elopement and intimate wedding photographer. Currently based in a small suburb just outside Detroit, Michigan, but available for travel anywhere! I have had a love for creating for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I drew everything as I saw it and I think that's why photography feels so perfect. It's an absolute dream to be an artist by trade and capturing special moments is a job I take to heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kindred Light has a way of capturing the moments you can't plan. Any photographer can capture those planned shots - those do not speak to their ability. Danielle has an eye and ability to capture the moments that speak the emotions without words, sounds, or captions. Being able to capture personality, emotion, expression, desire, and intent is something rare to find. Being able to have those moments/memories capture from our weddings is something we are forever grateful for! There is not a monetary value that you can put to those moments/memories!!!

I found Heidi Koerber Photo scrolling through instagram and it ended up being the best vendor decision we made for our wedding. 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'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.

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.

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.

We have worked with Christina many times for our pictures and I promise you, we won’t go anywhere else ever again! The first time we did pictures with Christina she made us feel SO comfortable and she was so professional guiding us on what poses to do (because we had no idea), you feel like you’ve known her your entire life right when you first meet her. If you want absolutely stunning pictures, and a fantastic experience Christina of Juniper woods is the way to go, I cannot recommend her enough!
