Awarded Best of Zola
Our photographer name was Hunter, and he was absolutely amazing. I booked through original weddings because my photographer I originally had had never gotten back to me, and was three weeks to spare. This company made me feel like everything was going to be perfect, and that my wedding was going to be captured in the most incredible way! Hunter had made us feel so comfortable and he made our photos turn out to be more than I could ever dream of! I would recommend them 1 million times over again if I could, and if I could have booked them originally in the first place I would have! Our photo turnaround time was about two weeks and the pictures were more than I could ever imagine!!

Jeron was fantastic throughout our entire engagement and wedding process! He was super communicative, professional, and knowledgeable which was a huge stress relief throughout all the planning. He did our engagement photos too as part of our package, and was even able to find us a second photographer last minute for the wedding due to our time constraints. He is a 10/10 person to work with, and we are SO happy with our photos!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

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 an absolute DREAM. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer but she’s also a wonderful person! Very easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos were exactly what we hoped for — Erin perfectly captured our favorite day! Can’t recommend her highly enough!!

Chettara T. Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Westland, MI

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
People are RAVING over our photos and we are OVER THE MOON at how gorgeously she captured every moment and detail. She knows how to capture EVERY skin tone, every color and get the vibe exactly right. HIRE HER TODAY. Very queer friendly and supportive of all families. She was funny and kind and kept us moving through photos and on time. SIMPLY THE BEST.

Gold & Elm Wedding Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,699
  • Serves Westland, MI

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. 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. I will recommend Gold & Elm to anybody who will listen!

Honey Peak Photography, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Westland, 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!️

Hi there! My name is Stephanie. I have been doing Wedding Photography for 7 years now & I love meeting new couples and hearing their vision so I can bring it to life. I am Michigan based. I live for the unplanned moments that aren't staged or posed. I focus on raw connection over perfection.

If you are looking to have every little detail to big moments captured... I promise, I will be there documenting all of it.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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!

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.

When I met her for the first time, it felt like I had known her forever. She is the sweetest and made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day. Brandie was on top of everything for photos making sure we got everything done that we wanted! I am so in love with how our photos came out and I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

  • Serves Westland, 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

Molly is truly one of a kind. Our pictures are even better than we could have imagined. She's professional, yet so much fun to work with. You'll feel immediately at ease with her vibrant personality. We had two sessions with her and are in love with both. Literally wouldn't have had anyone else there with us.

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.)

It Clicks Photo is simply the best! They were one of the first vendors that we picked and it was the easiest choice! The photos are bright, cheery and have a timeless quality to them! Our first meeting with Erika was over Zoom, which was so convenient, and we knew almost immediately that she was the person we wanted to spend our wedding day with! Erika has a bright, calm energy which is what any bride needs on her big day. Sarah was so chill and sweet. Together, Erika and Sara were one stellar duo! We cannot say anough good about them. We received a sneak peek that night and and extended sneak peek before our honeymoon! We were able to request edits, but the pictures were so great, the only edits I really requested were silly things like fixing my worn lipstick! I have so many great things to say, but the pictures are all you need to make a decision! Book them now!

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!

Rosy and Shaun did a BEAUTIFUL job photographing our wedding day! Capturing candid moments was especially important to us, and they did an amazing job documenting the emotions of the day. When we were searching for a photographer, we had so much fun looking through their entire portfolio that we knew we had to hire them, and they did not disappoint. They were very professional, kind, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’ve been obsessed with looking through our photos since we got them back!

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.
