Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was filled with whimsy and charm - Original Weddings was able to capture that energy in video and film, so we can revisit that experience for a lifetime. Thank you for your attention to detail and level of care - we are overjoyed with the results! EXPERIENCE - We interviewed a few photography companies to compare prices, offerings, and aesthetic appeal; we ultimately decided on OW because they offered the best rates for videography and photography packages. From the beginning, the customer experience was favorable with multiple opportunities for touchpoints and planning. Their pricing is transparent and straight-forward; the add-ons will be tempting, and it will cost you. However, we appreciated that our interactions with the office staff weren't sales driven; they shared the options for add-ons without it being pushy. All communication and planning details are handled through a personalized portal and its the easiest way to ask questions and relay changes to the photography team. If you are someone that is not particularly organized, you'll love this feature and the imbedded questionnaires. They'll serve as a guide to crafting the look, identifying highlights to be captured, and a space for notes to the team working with you on the day of. During the wedding day, everything went smoothly and everyone was professional and personable. Their presence didn't feel intrusive and they expertly worked around our timeline to maximize efficiency. RESULTS - Our gallery was a fantastic mix of curated moments and candid memories. Each cluster of photos creates a timestamp throughout the day and it was a welcome reminder of all the small details of the wedding that can be easily missed among the shuffle of it all. In our package we stuck with 8 hours of photography and videography; electing afterwards to request the raw footage for an additional charge. I believe the quality of the photos and videos is phenomenal for the price - something similar may be double the price, especially if you're looking for more aesthetic/Instagramish vibe - we went traditional and it exceeded our expectations. SHOUTOUTS - I have to give special kudos to the team that worked directly with us. For planning and logistics, Sarah and Gabriella were attentive and quick to respond to questions. Sarah was very sweet and made our wedding feel like a priority and not just one of many they're juggling. I appreciate her collaboration on capturing the specifics to ensure even the smallest details were relayed to the team; and the results speak for themselves. The true heroes of the day were Pricilla, Sanaa, and Collin; they were the team tasked with documenting the magic of the day in a fashion that captured our essence as a couple. They quickly became a highlight of the experience - we hit it off immediately and their energy was uplifting and reassuring. We are eternally grateful for their patience with our families and the lighthearted approach they took to dealing with grumpier relatives. Overall, it was a beautiful day, and we are overjoyed to have been paired with this team because they did a phenomenal job.

My name is Charlie and I have been working weddings in the Detroit area since 2014.

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.

Kendall is the most down to earth and thoughtful photographer! She always made us feel comfortable during our wedding day, just by being herself and providing that positive radiant energy. She provided so much more than the most amazing photos. She provided expert timeline advice, laughs, and peace of mind during our big day. I also LOVED how natural all of the prompts made us feel espicially as a couple that gets anxious around the camera. Kendall and Tanner make such a perfect team (and are freaking adorable and hilarious together)!

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’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!

I truly believe that a wedding day is as magical as the first snowfall — both fleeting and beautiful in their own way. As time goes by, those precious moments start to melt away, and as the saying goes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' There’s something deeply rewarding about capturing the perfect moment, but the real magic happens when you see the look on someone’s face as they experience that moment for the first time. It’s as if the photo becomes a timeless treasure, something they can hold onto forever, and that feeling? It’s truly indescribable!
