One of my best, if not, my best wedding vendor!! (and that's a huge thing because I had some…read moreamazing vendors!) She took awesome pictures and we got the disks back very quickly! She captured every picture we could possibly want plus more...they really told the story of the day. We will continue to use Marci for any photography we need as well as continue to recommend her to everyone!! I am beyond thrilled!

Marci is SO amazing! She photographed my sister's wedding a few years ago, and we knew we needed…read moreher at our wedding, too! She is so much fun to work with, and knows so much about weddings in general, that she is not only an amazing photographer and artist, but also a fantastic resource! She took so many pictures and had so many amazing and creative ideas on the fly, as well as just being fun! After she packed up for the night, she joined us on the dance floor for a dance which was just so fun, too! We got our pictures less than a week after the wedding, which is an amazing turnaround, and they look wonderful! We also really liked that we own the photos, and can do whatever we want with them, just need to give Marci credit, which she totally deserves! We especially loved that we didn't just get photos of us and our party, but she got at least a couple pictures (and good ones) of every single guest. Marci is an amazing photographer and person and we are so happy to have had her there for our special day! She truly captured the spirit of the day, and we will have so many wonderful memories that we can look back on with joy for years to come because of her talent! Thanks so much for helping make our wedding memorable, Marci!

The good: Holly is excellent on the day of wedding. She is…read morecalm, cheery, creative, directive, and an excellent communicator. One thing that I appreciated hearing from her is that anytime I needed a break, I could let her know. That gave me a lot of ease and I felt comfortable telling her when I needed a break or when things were too much. She's very intuitive in that way. She let the bridal party take breaks and she checked in with me when needed about what was next. She worked well with other vendors. Her close up photography is outstanding with details...ties, jewelry, vows, you name it. Outstanding and incredible. Overall, communication was decent leading up to the wedding. She reliably responded to emails within 24 hrs business day which I appreciated because many of my vendors weren't that way. The not so good: Holly uses a clunky program to communicate via email with her clients. Even though she reliably responded within 24 hours, searching our emails with her and viewing things like our invoice and our contract was a pain. You have to create usernames and passwords, and reading previous emails with her were a mess to search and read. Her program isn't user/client friendly. I am totally 100% for businesses to document things in writing so I get why she uses the program, but it's just a poor program. The best case in point about this is that the program automatically generated an email to my fiance and I about a due final payment to be paid online. At first we thought this was helpful so we faithfully paid the remaining balance online. But then we got a panicked email from Holly saying our contract says we needed to pay cash or check and that there are huge service fees for paying credit card. It ended up being a huge pain for both us and Holly to figure out...we were irritated (as was she!) About the fact that we were asked to pay online by credit card. When I pay...I don't generally look back at the contract and read the fine print about whether to pay cash or check...not when I'm juggling multiple vendors and multiple contracts and payment due dates. The contract in it of itself is not easily accessible without having to dig In a myriad of emails to find the login for the website and then actually login. Finally, Holly's pricing covers up to 8 hours of photography. At the end of the day I kind of wish I went with a photographer that covered whole day photography instead. We had to pay an extra hefty sum to get Holly to stay and take pictures of our reception and our sparkler exit. The reception pictures we had to pay extra for were golden and so treasured because there were things that went on during our reception that we didn't even know but she captured wonderfully. The sparkler photos were kind of a disappointment and didn't look great (people were too spaced out, the framing of the photos were poor). The extra money we had to pay for Holly to stay a couple extra hours were worth it mostly for the dancing photos and group photos she took, but definitely not the sparkler photos...which kind of made me wonder if it would have been better for us to pay for a photographer that included whole day services. Overall we do recommend Holly as she is a great day of photographer. There are a couple things we wished were different but nothing absolutely groundbreaking. We received our photos about 1-2 months after our date and there were about 1,000 photos! Some of them were duds as expected but some will end up on the wall!

Choosing our photographer was probably the most difficult decision after choosing our venue -- and…read moreI am so glad that we were able to have Holly capture our day! I was drawn to the elegance of her portfolio and her attention to light and emotion, and the photos she took of our day reflect that same artistry. Holly made us feel comfortable and calm, and she captured the story of the day gracefully even under a tightened timeline. She enriched our day with her presence. We are so glad to have these special and gorgeous memories preserved through Holly's thoughtful lens! If you are trying to decide between vendors, hire Holly!

Melissa was everything we could have wanted from a photographer and more! She is kind,…read moreknowledgeable, 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!!)

First, they arrived wearing our wedding colors, which speaks to their attention to detail! Immediately I was at ease with them, and by the end of the evening it felt more like they were friends than hired photographers. I was sad to see them leave! We did many of the wedding party and family photos before the ceremony, which I highly recommend if you intend to enjoy your reception. As we were planning the pre-ceremony photo session my husband was concerned that the 'first look' photos would feel hooky - as it was Tim and Sandy put him at ease and it was a very special experience for him. Throughout the evening, Sandy was like a bridesmaid, best friend and outside observer rolled into one - she helped me with wardrobe tape when I was dressing, chased me around with bobby pins toward the end of the evening when my hair started to fall, and with Tim's help kept order in the sweetest way as we attempted to get through our shot list. By the end of the night we had photos will all our guests without feeling as if even a fraction of the night was spent posing for the camera. I am so excited to see our photos - Sandy and Tim were so creative (while still being down to earth) that I have no doubt we'll find at least a few to treasure always.

Oh my goodness, I love Amanda. I really do- and I am not the only one. :) Amanda's business has…read morebeen mostly word-of-mouth and she has become crazy-successful. She is a super fantastic photographer who does weddings, engagement photos, senior photos, family, kids - all that fun stuff. She does some of the posed type photos, especially if that is what you are looking for - but she excels in taking photos with a little more artisic flair, photos that truly capture people in the moment, and photos of the potentially missed details. We did engagment pictures with Amanda and our wedding photos in 2007. My sister used her for her wedding in April of 2009, and she is doing two friends weddings in 2010. As you can see, the whole word-of-mouth business works amazingly well for her. Amanda's personality sold me on her services even moreso than her work. My husband HATES having his picture taking - so when we met with Amanda and it was obvious how awesome and hilarious she is, it became obvious that she was the perfect choice for us. Let me tell you, we were not disappointed. (And it helps that her prices are more than reasonable) Our engagement pictures were super fun, and a great way to get my husband even more warmed up to Amanda prior to the wedding. We brought our dog along with us and she took some pictures of us with him- for the record, she is great at photographing animals too. We had a few hundred pictures when she was done- and she releases the rights to the photos so you can make copies however you want, as many as you want, as cheap as you want. Bonus! Wedding day - Amanda met us at my parents house to take some "getting ready" pictures. She then followed us downtown Detroit to photograph the wedding, and to Woodward between the Fox and Comerica Park for some more fabulous pictures. Amanda is not afraid to do what she needs to do to get a good picture. For one of the photos that I posted to this listing, she was literally lying down in the middle of Woodward to get the best angle. Now, I should mention that she was sick as a dog through all of this. Her personality still sparkled and shined, but it was obvious that she was not doing so hot. If I remember correctly, she came to our wedding after being in the hospital for a while. Needless to say, she wasn't able to come to the reception, but sent her now-cohort Jen to take over. I think this was one of a handful of times that Amanda has had to send in a replacement. Sad as I was that Amanda wasn't going to be able to join us, I was definitely pleased with the way Jen covered our reception. She tooks tons of pictures and didn't leave until she was sure we had gotten every picture we wanted. My sisters wedding went equally well, and she was very happy with the end results. I give her credit too, because my sisters videographer was a pain in the a$$ and Amanda was very professional in not telling him just how obnoxious and sucky he was. :o) We hope to have Amanda do some family pictures for our sons first birthday in the summer- if she can capture adults and dogs, I am sure she can capture some amazing things with cute little buggers too. Amanda is awesome - I think that with most of her customers, she becomes not only their photographer but also a friend. Love her.
