Hi there! My name is Janelle, a 26-year-old Metro Detroit based photographer passionate about capturing emotional moments. Whether it’s your wedding day, engagement, or growing family, my top priority is staying true to the essence of each scene—preserving it in time for you to cherish forever. Aquí también se habla español! Photography is a part-time pursuit for me, I also work full-time and stay active in the Detroit alternative music scene as a concert photographer.

I went with Santacruz imagery because I knew Janelle would be able to capture us perfectly! She’s very thoughtful in her approach and we knew we would feel extremely comfortable with her. She made our day so special and made us feel like superstars through a lens!! Not to mention she travelled many many miles from Michigan to Massachusetts for this day, forever grateful! The best memories forever captured by a beautiful soul with a beautiful vision.

Julia Cuddy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Pontiac, 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!

It's all about making you feel like yourselves while capturing the moments that matter most.

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!

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, nurturer, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three.

Kate did a wonderful job capturing our wedding day and were fantastic to work with! My husband hates taking photos, but he loved working with Kate and Jessica. Plus, they put up with his goofball personality. Our photos are beautiful and look straight from a magazine. Our friends and family can't stop fawning over them! Kate was very responsive and answered all my questions and offered great advice. She felt more like a friend than a photographer. My husband and I decided not to hire a videographer and we were nervous about regretting that decision, but our photos are so great we don't regret it all!

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. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

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
I have been in the wedding game for many years. I have seen it all. I have worked with all types of people. I want to give my honest opinion about this company: E.J.O. is absolutely top notch. The last event that we worked together was to say the least a very demanding wedding that required us to all be on our A games. Let me put it this way, a lot of photographers would have probably walked out due to stress and time constraints. EJO held it together, controlled the situation like a pro, and absolutely NAILED it! The event went off without a hitch. Without such a professional company working alongside mine (at Rockstar Weddings), i’m honestly not sure how things would have turned out if they had hired someone different. I personally was shooting video that day so I literally was with the photographers from EJO nearly the entire event. I cant recommend EJO enough. You get what you pay for in this industry. Highly recommended!

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!

I hired Madalyn for my wedding in 2020, and have since recommended her to every bride I've met! No one in my family was necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, but Madalyn has a way of calming people and getting them to relax. We have beautiful posed photos from our wedding, but some of my favorites were the natural, candid shots! Additionally, she is always responsive and timely; she delivered sneak peeks of our pictures just days after our wedding, and the rest of our photos came exactly when she set the expectation for delivery. If you're looking for a vendor who is personable, calming, and kind, she's your gal!

Since 2012, I’ve grown from a point-and-shoot camera and a dream into a 5-star-rated, award-winning photographer. Encouraged by my fiancé and family, I built a business rooted in capturing life’s most meaningful moments.

I also give back through community projects and my annual tradition of donating Christmas toys to the local children’s hospital. I’m honored to help preserve your story, one photo at a time.

I was beyond pleased with our experience having Jessica as our photographer for our wedding! She was very efficient with communication and making sure we had everything in place for the big day! When the day came she was so good at picking poses and different photos to take and worked so well with me having my dogs incorporated into my photos! She also got our photos back to me so fast I couldn’t believe it! The photos were absolutely breathtaking! Would use her again in a heartbeat!

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!!)

Im passionate about documenting your big day in a way you can be brought back to the moment and feel the excitement and passion every time you look at your wedding album. Photographing your wedding is as important to me as it is to you, and it not a job I take lightly! Every couple has a different list of important items to be captured, and my goal is to serve you and your partner in the best way possible, capturing the shots most important to you, plus the little in-between moments you didn’t even know that happened.

My wife and i are very happy and thankful we found Sammy. We had a last minute emergency wedding due to my wife’s father being diagnosed with a terminal illness and not much time to live. Wanted to get professional pictures taken so to have quality pictures to look back on a few beautiful moment during a tragic time with my wife’s father. Contacted Sammy with only a few days notice. Sammy responded very quickly and thankfully was available. My wife and i were only mainly focused on getting shots of the ceremony itself and yet Sammy pulled off sooooo much more. The day of our wedding it was raining till ~1pm and the wedding was in my parent’s in law’s back yard scheduled at 4pm. Needless to say we were all literally working setting up decorations and rapidly getting ready till minutes before the ceremony. Somehow Sammy took a magnitude of stellar pictures of us all while we were setting up and getting ready, so much so that the number of pictures make our wedding look like a lengthy wedding day portfolio! Every single one of the pictures taken from our wedding are beautifully and consistently edited, and most importantly captured the crucial moment we were hoping for. My wife and I are still blown away by Sammy’s work and without a doubt highly recommend Sammy to anyone needing a professional photographer.

I'm a Narrative Wedding Photographer. That means my goal is to create images that tell the story of your day exactly how it happened. Your photos shouldn't be an assembly lined output of a generic wedding day. They shouldn't feel moody and serious when you were sharing a beautifully happy and joyous moment. When documenting your wedding day the end photos should feel how your day and the moment captured actually felt; that is my ultimate goal! You will be holding onto your wedding photographs for life and will become family heirlooms. I'd love to photograph your wedding and create these meaningful images for you, your family, and your guests!

We are so grateful that Holly was the photographer capturing such a special day for us! When we started the search for a wedding photographer, Holly was the only one already on our shortlist. I used to work for an organization that also hosted events, and one of the experienced coordinators mentioned in passing that Green Holly was one of their favorite photographers to work with. Even years later, it always stood out to me that a busy venue coordinator who had encountered so many vendors felt that Holly stood out. From the moment we met, she made us feel comfortable and confident that our wedding memories were in the best hands. Holly’s work really does speak for itself, and while it is easy to be impressed with her stunning portfolio, Holly behind the camera is even more incredible. She has a warm and calming presence that is invaluable on a day that can be beyond hectic. And her very straightforward approach made the entire experience as seamless and easy as possible. Like most couples, we met with a few photographers before booking. With each one, we communicated concerns that we weren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera or confident that we were super photogenic. Time and time again, we heard “oh, everyone says that and then looks like a model” which might be true but isn’t very reassuring. Holly took time to listen and understand what made us feel that way, which meant she knew how to pivot when needed to get us photos we truly loved. Her work is timeless, elegant, and full of life. The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations, and her ability to tell a story through her lens is remarkable – often capturing the tiny moments and emotions you simply can’t plan for. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and an absolute master of her craft, we can’t recommend Green Holly enough. Thank you for giving us such incredible memories to look back on!

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 (:

Heidi and her work are both pure magic! She was so down to capture our vision for our engagement shoot and wedding. We felt instantly so connected to her! She made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera and really just made our experience so fun and special. Not to mention logistically she traveled across the state for us twice for no extra cost. I will 1000000% use her for every photo need I have in the future and I have recommended her to literally every person I know that gets engaged.
