Hiring Erin as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made!…read more We knew that we wanted more than just your standard posed portraits, so we were looking for someone that would take a more editorial approach at documenting our day. Erin totally nailed it! She captured the emotion and the details of our wedding perfectly. As my husband and I scroll through our library of images now, we actually feel as if we are reliving the entire day all over again. It's amazing! The day went by so quickly, but Erin's photos allow us to relive all of our favorite moments over and over again. Erin was quick to respond to our emails, willing to accommodate our requests and overall very easy to work with. On the day of our wedding, she captured so many special moments without us even realizing that she was shooting. Additionally, she worked well with the videographer we had hired separately and worked alongside him to make sure both people were able to capture the footage they needed. I highly recommend hiring Erin to photograph your wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Oh my gosh, we're so glad we picked Erin to be our photographer! She previously photographed one of…read moreour good friends weddings and we loved her photos so much that we knew we had to interview her when we started to plan our own. She's amazing, responsive, kind, and a generally great human. She flew out to San Francisco to do our engagement photos and it was such a good day! She made us feel comfortable and laugh and the photos turned out amazing. Fast forward to our wedding day, and she was even more amazing! She captured every wonderful part of the day, wrangled our families into group pictures, and in general was just a delight to have with us on our wedding day. She kept everything on time and we couldn't be happier with everything. The photos of course turned out fantastic. She's so great at capturing the perfect light and flattering candids. We almost want to get married again just to have a reason to hire her again!

She made sure mine and the groom's needs were met with the photos wanted and much more. Her equipment is top of the line. She was great at getting people's attention and knew what would look great in locations and lighting. She was good at hiding in the crowd at the reception, no one really noticed her. My family and friends had nothing to say but wonderful things about Melanie. My husband and I are looking forward to seeing how the photos turned out, we know they will be great. Melanie is definitely worth the money and I recommend her for any photography needs!

She was also kind enough to work with our budget, and went above and beyond to make sure we got great photos in an efficient amount of time. To say she was a good value is an understatement. Melanie has such an eye for composing the shot, and great ideas for posing and content so that you can just let go and relax and let her do her magic. We felt so comfortable with her and her assistant Deana, which makes for even better photos and enjoying your wedding that much more. She's the kind of photographer who will fix details of your wedding that have nothing to do with the pictures, just because she's good people. Her whistle to get babies' attention is awe-inspiring, haha, seriously. She's just the best.

Weddings are an important event for a family, even more so when it's your only daughter's weddings. Amanda played a big part in making it special. Amanda made taking all those pictures fun! I have always dreaded having pictures taken , it can be stressful. My husband feels the same way. We were not looking forward to all those pictures we would have to pose for. But it was not like that at all. She had a way of making us feel comfortable , relaxed and it shows in the pictures. We had so many pictures to choose from, it was amazing ! She spent the day with us , and we have a beautiful record of the day , start to finish. She has a very creative eye , a unique perspective . Everyone that has seen the pictures has agreed . We have received so many complements ! A couple of friends have asked for Amanda's contact information , so they can have her photograph their son or daughter's wedding . If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion call Amanda . You won't be disappointed, Steve and Barbara Lucido

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.

I still remember when I browsed over their sample pictures, I KNEW right away - THEY ARE THE ONE!! Tamara and Steve are not only AMAZING photographers, but such WONDERFUL people! They are genuine, easy, professional and funny! Taking pictures are not necessarily easy for everyone who are not as photogenic, but they made it so much more comfortable for both Josh and I during our engagement session! They captured the most natural looking yet loving photos of us! Tamara also helped us made our guest book and ensures it was ordered on time for our wedding! Their professionalism, organizing and flexibility was greatly appreciated! Besides, Josh and I came from two different backgrounds, Italy and China. We combined many culture differences into our wedding and made it very unique and could be difficult to capture all, but Tamara and Steve did not disappoint us at all! They are truly one of THE BEST DECISIONS we made for our weddings!!! I will always have Silver Thumb in mind for any events in the future!!! If you are looking for a great photographer who does not only have skills but also personality and care, STOP looking now!!!!! Silver Thumb is beyond qualified!!!!! We love Tamara and Steve!!!!!
