We had a wonderful experience working with Sound Originals for our wedding photographer vendor. Our photographer did such an amazing job, he took so many beautiful photos, it's difficult to pick our favorite, lol. Which, is definitely the kind of problem you want to have. The entire process was so easy, it really removed a huge stressor from planning/the wedding day. We had so much fun working with Steve. I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography needs!

Our Story. Thank you for considering Lasting Touch Photography. My name is Lori Jane, I am the owner and lead photographer. With over 20 years of experience freelancing for 4 studios and 3 newspapers, I decided to branch out on my own. I opened Lasting Touch Photography after the birth of my twin boys. As the business grew I added talented photographers and a Photo Booth rental service. Our team are talented artists, like me, who truly love what we do- capturing memories!

Mark from Lasting Touch was nothing short of a miracle worker. We were planning a small wedding on a very tight budget and he and his wife Lori found a way for us to get everything we needed and wanted at a price we could afford. On the day, Mark arrived right on time and was easy-going but professional, and was a wonderful extra eye and helping hand, all while getting perfect shots. Our completed photos came faster than expected, and we were blown away by the number and quality of each photo. Thank you again!

JLB Wedding Photography

  • Serves River Rouge, MI

I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

Working with Jeffrey was one of the very best choices we made for our wedding. From start to finish, he brought a calm presence that felt like an antidote to the natural stress of the day. His energy allowed us to be fully present with one another, never worrying about what was being captured because we had complete faith in him. As a same-sex couple, we cannot overstate how comfortable and celebrated he made us feel. Many photographers default to traditional, heteronormative poses, but Jeffrey understood how to guide us with direction that felt natural, confident, and tailored to us. We are not naturally great at posing, and his clear, precise guidance was invaluable. His artistry is undeniable. He captured it all—the emotional candid moments, the striking editorial shots, the architectural and design details, and even elevated portraits of our guests. These were far from simple photo booth snapshots; they are images our friends and family are genuinely excited to share, print, and frame in their own homes. Beyond the beauty of each photo, his work has a timeless quality. While so many photographers lean into trends, Jeffrey’s images feel classic and enduring, the kind of heirlooms we know our kids and grandkids will cherish. Jeffrey also collaborated seamlessly with our videographer and other vendors, ensuring everything flowed smoothly. He managed the timeline during the first half of the day, which gave us the rare gift of disconnecting completely from our phones and watches. On top of that, his turnaround time was unbelievable. We received a large set of images the very next day, which allowed us to immediately share with loved ones and relive the celebration. And it wasn’t just us who felt this way. Within days of the wedding, our friends and family were texting us unprompted to rave about him. Here are a few of our favs: “BEYOND impressed with Jeffrey. He is a legend of his craft.” “That Jeffrey guy is THE GUY.” "WHO was your photographer travel and does he travel!? We NEED him at our wedding." “Kris Jenner works hard but JLB works harder.” Jeffrey is not only a phenomenal photographer but also the kind of person you want by your side on the most important day of your life. Book him now before someone else does.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.

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.

Creating truly unique wedding photography starts with seeing more than the moment itself. Every location offers its own light, architecture, textures, and atmosphere — and I use those elements with creative composition to create photographs that feel distinctive and personal. By keeping the experience relaxed and embracing the natural rhythm of your day, I'm able to create images that don't just document what happened — they capture it in a way that feels intentional, immersive, and truly different.

He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING.

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!️

She also was excellent with communication and answered all my emails within 24 hours- most the time in a matter of minutes or hours. Stephanie is so professional, but also feels like a friend. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She got some amazing shots of my husband on our wedding day smiling (which he doesn’t typically do for pictures). I literally recommend her to everyone I know in need of a photographer! Thanks again so much Stephanie. We will cherish our photos forever!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Breanne was so much more than our wedding photographer – she was such a steady, calming presence and truly became a friend throughout the entire experience! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond, even traveling to Chicago to photograph our engagement session in a place that means so much to us. On our wedding day, she kept everything on track, checked in on us, and stepped in wherever needed so things felt smooth and taken care of. She went far beyond what you expect from a photographer – helping with little things like fixing a veil or fastening a bracelet, and just being someone we could rely on throughout the day. That kind of care meant so much. Her work is just incredible. She captured the joy, the laughter, and all the in between moments in a way that brings us right back to how happy we felt that day. So many of our guests, family, and even vendors commented on how amazing she was and how well she captured everything. We feel so lucky to have had her as such a big part of our wedding and cannot wait to work with her again for future special moments!

I have a mad case of ‘Wanderlust’ and if I am not chasing after my littles, or working – we are probably on or planning an adventure. I am pretty pumped to meet you and help capture the moments that mean most to you!

Dakota and Meghan were amazing to work with! They made taking photos a breeze by being upbeat and fun. They brought some great ideas for poses and locations near our venue that they've used with other clients and listened to some ideas that we wanted to incorporate. Sunflower has a great questionnaire that they provide before the wedding to capture all the details about our day, including a shot list and who we wanted for family pictures. This made the family portraits a quick process on the day of our wedding since they knew who we needed to grab to take photos. My special needs son hates having photos taken, being the center of attention, and loud noises. They worked with him to get him to smile and to move through the photos we wanted to include him for as quickly as possible to capture the special moments while making him comfortable. We received sneak peeks the next day and can't wait to see the rest of our photos!

Hi there, I'm Kandra! I'm a wedding photographer for the authentic, fun, and completely in love couple! I'm based in Livonia, Michigan but I'll travel anywhere across Michigan and beyond. Most days you’ll find me reading a good book, catching up on my favorite TV shows, or of course, behind the camera! I love adventures, discovering new places, and trying new restaurants.

My husband and I loved our experience with Kandra Lynn Photography! Kandra is one of the kindest souls on this planet. My husband and I are self-described unphotogenic and we were worried about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Kandra immediately put all those fears aside. She is so reliable, encouraging, and lovely to work with (even reassuring me in the midst of wedding day craziness that I was not losing my mind). Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Our guests, especially our wedding party and families raved about our awesome and incredibly kind photographer. Working with her from start to finish was wonderful. I cannot thank her enough. You will not regret having her be a part of your big day!

ON HIATUS until further notice. Hi there and congratulations! This is a very exciting time in your life and I'd love to help you navigate the sometimes confusing process of finding the right photographer for you. Your photographer is someone you'll spend a lot of time with on one of the most memorable days of your life so it should certainly be someone you feel comfortable with and someone you can trust to help you enjoy your day and look your best. I hope I can be that person. But if not, I'd be happy to help you find the right photographer for you. **We are fully booked for 2021 and are now booking 2022 from our new Omaha, NE location!**

Beki is amazing to work with, she is so talented and puts you right at ease. Comfort in front of the camera doesn't come easy for me and she makes it so fun. Her talent, creativity, and experience result in beautiful and unique photos. She has an incredible eye for detail and will spot things you wouldn't even realize were there until she points it out, from a stray hair to something distracting in the background. I highly, highly recommend this skillful and accomplished photographer, you will not be disappointed!

Amber Marie Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves River Rouge, MI

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!

  • Serves River Rouge, MI

Hi there- I'm Shannon. I specialize in weddings because I love documenting others' joy and happiness. I believe love is love and everyone has a story worthy of being told. As an award-winning wedding photographer, I've photographed over 200 weddings and I've worked with some of the most prominent studios in Michigan.

Shannon Ferguson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Shannon's communication style was fluid, fun, and incredibly attentive - she made us feel like we were her top priority throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Shannon's creativity shone through as she seamlessly captured all the special moments, finding the most stunning and breathtaking backdrops for our photos without ever feeling intrusive. The final images are truly works of art that we will cherish forever. Shannon's ability to be present yet invisible during the ceremony resulted in the most beautiful and natural shots that perfectly encapsulate the joy and emotion of our big day. We are beyond thrilled with the value and quality of Shannon's work, and cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.
