About Meininger Media LLC

Meininger Media

Wedding Photographer

Wedding photographer for couples who hate awkward photos. Making camera-shy couples look like themselves since 2016. Equal parts photographer, hype woman, and professional problem solver. Bold photos. Zero awkward posing. Whether you're getting married in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, or eloping somewhere completely off the beaten path, I'm here for it.

Most of my couples tell me they're awkward in front of a camera. Good. Those are my favorite people. My job isn't to turn you into models. My job is to make you forget the camera is even there. By the end of the wedding, you'll have someone fixing your dress, carrying your drink, keeping family members organized, and hyping you up like we've been friends for years.

    Best EVER! Captured All Special Moments Perfectly

    If you want the most beautiful and thoughtfully captured photos, Katy is the BEST! We had the pleasure of working with Katy for our engagement and wedding photos, and it was the best decision ever! Katy was so caring, professional, organized, easy to work with, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and especially when we needed it most, on our wedding day. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful—every special moment was perfectly captured. Our album is so elegant, natural, fun, and just absolutely magical. Everything we wanted and more! We are so thankful for the memories Katy has given us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer!

    BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER

    From the moment we decided to go with Katy from Meininger Media LLC, we knew she was the perfect fit. She was so easy to talk with and communicated with us every step of the way, always supporting our ideas and willing to listen. Katy was a joy to have at our wedding, and everybody there loved her. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning - we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her there. The quality of her work and the value she provided was incredible. We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.

    Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!

    Michigan's Best Kept Photography Secret

    Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

    Okay I'm actually crying. You are the absolute sweetest, thank you for these kind words. Your wedding was such a beautiful experience. Thank you again and again for having me. Honored to call you both friends now.

    Best Photographer Ever!

    Hiring Katy was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Our pictures are beyond perfect! We love every single one and friends and family still rave about them even years later. She brought so many fun ideas for different poses and made sure that we got every single picture that we had on our list. It really felt like she tailored how she shot to fit us as a couple and our pictures definitely show it! All of our pictures have our personality in them and they are just absolutely beautiful! If you’re looking for a photographer that will not only deliver gorgeous, one of kind photos, but will also radiate kindness and positivity - Katy is your girl! She is so wonderful to be around and is just unbelievably talented.

    Ahhhh thank you!!! I'm so glad everyone still raves about your photos + you two love them so much.


Typically, couples book me about 9-13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Just about every package of mine has a second photographer included. Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding.
Absolutely!!! All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness, and minimal blemish removal to ensure they look beautiful. I offer extensive retouching services for an additional charge.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. During busy season, the timeframe changes to 8-12 weeks.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. For video, my friend Hunter is the BEST and will capture your wedding day unlike any other. www.hunterleefilms.com
I don't like to give a set amount for this because it varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. For any wedding package of mine, you can expect more than 500 images. (If I am photographing a ceremony only with family photos - you can expect between 200-400 images)
In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement. I've got your back regardless of what happens, you're in good hands.
