Hello there! My name is Mariah Kasten and I am a Michigan Wedding Photographerphotographer. I love watching my couples interact and seeing their love for one another. I have absolutely fallen in love with couples, engagements, and wedding photography. As an extrovert, I find it so fun to meet so many couples and capture these moments in their lives. I would love to work with you and capture some beautiful moments in your life!

If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Not only did she expertly capture all of the precious moments of our wedding day, but she was also very friendly as well as very professional. I loved how she made a wedding photo site for all of the photos and they were just edited so nice and quick with care. If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding day, I would choose Mariah Kasten.

Julia Cuddy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Royal Oak, 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 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.

There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

Your wedding day isn’t a performance — it’s an experience, and that’s how I photograph it. From the relaxed, sometimes messy moments of getting ready to the emotional exchanges, laughter, and quiet in-between moments, your day is documented as it truly unfolds. No heavy staging, no forced perfection — just you being you, exactly as you are.

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!

Kendall Jewel Photography LLC

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Weddings are hectic and we are terrible at planning. Kendall had the patience of a saint with the chaos we were working through and was still by far the most pleasant person we worked with during our wedding season. In terms of her photos, pricing and proverbial “bang for your buck,” there is nobody who is bringing the level of quality in their photos that she is capable of producing in the price range she offers her services for. We chose her from a list of over 80 photographers offering their services to us, Kendall was the clear and obvious choice for the reasons I mentioned above. We had extremely high expectations for what we were hoping to receive back and she’s already exceeded them with what she’s sent us in the sneak peak. If you’re thinking of doing business with her, book her now, you will regret not securing her for your date, as I promise someone else will!

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision I made was having Kate as our wedding photographer! I cannot imagine our special day without her. From the moment I inquired back in August of 2020, to our wedding day October 2021, Kate was with us every step of the way. 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!

My name is Erin Oginsky and I am the owner and photographer behind EJO Photography. I first learned how to use a camera in 1999, when I took a photography class in college. Since then I have loved taking pictures, but did not start taking photos professionally until 2008! Since then I have learned and grown as a photographer. I love photographing weddings, engagements, and families. In addition to photography, my passion is my children, my husband, and the non-profit we run, Mission 25.

Awarded Best of Zola
At the events director I am able to confidently recommend Erin as your wedding photographer. She worked with one of our couples on 10-10-2020 that rode the rollercoaster of every changing restrictions. Prepared for inside events, then outside and back inside in two different spaces. She cooperated with us by posting her photos of this specific wedding on our Real Weddings Wedding Wire site and they were beautiful. (this is why I feel I could recommend) The photos captured the couple perfectly and the day was flawless.

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.

Michigan-based wedding, elopement & lifestyle photographer. I call my style naturally posed/documentary. My galleries are filled with both artfully posed photos and candid moments. I will be your biggest hype woman (:

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.

HI! I’m Mel. I’m a wife, mother, want-to-be chef, and the creator of Mel Anne Photography LLC, specializing in Detroit Michigan based Wedding and Portrait Photography Services. My mission is create beautifully authentic images, that take you back to a moment in time. I love timeless imagery with a fun and upbeat feel mixed with classic romance.

Melissa was everything we could have wanted from a photographer and more! She is kind, knowledgeable, steadfast, professional, friendly, helpful, proactive, insistent, flexible, joyful, and all around fantastic! Her portfolio can speak for itself, I mean just look at those shots! They are timeless and capture the essence of each couple perfectly. What really drew us to Melissa though, was her unique ability to capture the candid moments. Looking through our gallery, there were of course the fantastic formal photos and more guided shots, but my absolute favorites were all of the other shots, the in the moment shots. She does a great job of capturing people in their best light, even when they’re not posing. Based on how flawless our engagement shoot with her went and how stressed I (the bride) was on the day of our wedding, we were a little nervous about the pictures. The engagement shoot was so smooth and we vibed together so well. The wedding day was very overwhelming and we both were worried that it would show on our faces. But every time Melissa was around (which was often thank goodness!), we were both immediately more calm. We had to pause looking through the gallery because they were too good and we were crying too much. 

We cannot recommend Melissa more! She is top of the line, folks!!!!! For what it’s worth, we are both 29, got married in East Lansing / Grand Ledge Michigan, and bought “The Ultimate Package” (which was super worth it!!)

HI, I'm Teresa. I grew up with three brothers, (two older, one younger) Yes I loved to do all the girl things, like play barbies, go shopping, and get my nails painted, but behind all that was a girl who loved soccer down to my bones. I was about sixteen years old I was gifted a camera, and that quickly became a part of me.When I was just out of high school I met and fell in love with my best friend, we were married a year and a half later. We quickly began a family, because not only did I have a passion for photography, I also so badly, with all of my being wanted to be a mom.

Teresa is the sweetest, kindest person you could ever meet. And if that wasn’t enough in itself, she takes some pretty bomb photos too!! You will NOT be disappointed if you hire her! Just do it! Teresa photographed a friend’s wedding years ago and I always knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding too. She did a fun couples shoot for us a couple years back as well at the fair and those are some of my favorite photos of us to date! Every time we work with her she is professional, kind, so easy to work with, and captures us perfectly! We loved having her there to document our elopement day and can’t wait to have her capture our family as it hopefully grows over the years. Thanks Teresa, you’re the best!
