JLB Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
Detroit, MI
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,900

I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

Awarded Best of Zola
We honestly can’t say enough good things about JLB. When we first found him and saw all the perfect reviews, we both wondered, “Okay… what’s the catch?” But after working with him, we realized there isn’t one. He really is THAT good. He traveled all the way to Charlotte for our engagement session, which already meant a lot to us. And from the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease — which is saying something because we’re definitely not people who usually love photos of ourselves. But these? We absolutely love them. Like genuinely LOVE them. What surprised us most is that it was more than just taking and getting pictures. The whole session felt like an experience. He made it fun, natural, and honestly something we’ll remember forever. He somehow captured us in a way that didn’t feel posed or forced — just real moments, real connection. The photos feel like art, but at the same time they feel like us. And the turnaround time? So fast. We were blown away by how quickly he delivered such beautiful work. Overall, the experience was incredible from start to finish. We left not just with amazing photos, but with the feeling that we got more than we even realized we were signing up for. We’re so grateful we chose him, he is a genuinely good person to be around, and we are even more excited now for him to shoot our wedding!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wear to even begin with Shauna?! We first met Shauna for a photo shoot in Colorado, somewhat arranged through my brother who was having her as his wedding photographer a few months later. We fell in love with her and her work instantly and the rest is history! When we got engaged and decided on destination, we knew our perfect day wouldn’t be perfect without Shauna, and so she agreed to come to the Dominican Republic for our dream wedding! We are forever grateful to her for traveling all that way! Given that this was the 3rd time working with Shauna (one fun shoot previously and our engagement photos), we were confident that Shauna would nail it. It was a super windy and sunny day, and my anxiety definitely creeped in a little. Immediately Shauna eased it and took control, and our wedding photos turned out better than I EVER could have imagined. When I tell you I flip through the pictures daily…I’m not kidding! We knew they were going to be absolutely beautiful because it’s Shauna after all, but WOW. Just so freaking incredible and breathtaking! Shauna is an artist with her camera, and I am her biggest fan girl!!! It’s safe to say that Shauna’s photos speak for themselves- she is so incredibly talented at what she does. But in addition to that, Shauna is one of the sweetest, fun, and most kind humans we’ve ever met! It’s not just a job for her. It’s her passion, and it’s so evident in the work and love she pours into these galleries for each client. She makes you feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful! She’s so responsive to every question and concern. Throughout the process, she was always offering help in any way with planning. She’s just one of those people you meet, and you feel like you’ve already known her for a lifetime. We adore you Shauna and are forever grateful to you! Our house will now serve as a museum for your art work in photography. We freaking love you!

In the year of planning whenever I had a timeline questions, Kirsten was so quick and helpful in responding and then in the month and week prior to wedding day, she stepped in and took over vendor comms and made sure all the little details that made the day unique and personalized were covered. We had Katy onsite with us and from rehearsal to day of, she helped keep things running smoothly, made sure the bar didn’t run dry and stepped in when health emergencies demanded action and took charge.

Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
Detroit, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

Aina Films 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,999
  • Serves Detroit, MI

At Aina Films, we capture the unique essence of your wedding day with a natural and spontaneous touch. Our personalized films highlight your individual love story, ensuring each moment is beautifully documented. We prioritize delivering your wedding film promptly, so you can quickly relive and share the magic of your special day. Our commitment to quality ensures every film is a masterpiece, using the latest technology to produce stunning visuals that reflect your love story with precision and care. Choose Aina Films to immortalize your wedding day with creativity and professionalism, making your memories last a lifetime.

TL;DR Hiring Abhishek and Aina Films was hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Initially, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. Looking back, hiring Abhishek and Aina Films should’ve been one of our top priorities. In the hierarchy of wedding decisions, I’d put it right up there with picking the venue itself; it was that important! Your wedding day flashes by in an instant; ours certainly did. In the craziness of that day there were so many amazing little details that would’ve been lost to time had they not been captured on film. We initially met with and reviewed the work of many different videographers but it quickly became apparent that Aina Films would be our preferred option. They had many great reviews and the demo video videos we watched were amazing. Outside technical competence what really sold us was his willingness to work on crafting a package that would fit our vision and our wedding day. Many of the other videographers seemed to want to want us to try to fit our day around what they provided in their pre-established packages. Due to our indecisive nature, it took a couple of weeks and many back-and-forths before we settled on what we wanted. Throughout this time, Abhishek was very patient with us. He made himself readily available for questions and was super personable and kind every time we reached out to him, which made the entire process easy and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, he and his 2nd videographer arrived on time and started working with the photographer and the event planner without needing so much as a word from us. They were true professionals and it eased our minds knowing there was one less thing we needed to worry about. After the wedding we only had to wait a few days before we got to see some of the results. In that time, Abhishek had already edited and pieced together a few social media clips for us to post and man were those a hit! As soon as we posted them to our social media, we had people reaching out to us about how awesome the wedding looked and asking who created the clips. The final video we received is truly amazing; I cannot stress that enough. Abhishek and his team really did a fantastic job capturing all sorts of amazing memories from that day. Some of which we had missed or not been present for, others would have simply faded with time. Now and forevermore, I can go back and revisit our wedding in beautifully edited high-definition video. This is by FAR the best decision you could make for your wedding day or any event for that matter. Hiring this team is a choice that you will never regret. We will certainly never use another for any event! Thank you again Abhishek and Aina films for allowing us to relive our day over and over again! You are a truly talented team!

I had found 97 Films online for our 9/23/23 wedding and I am SO glad we booked with them. Katie was extremely prompt in communication and was happy to answer all of my questions leading up to the big day and so fun to work with the day-of. Katie was also extremely prompt in getting us our reel and trailer so we could post on social media (someone said it looked just like a Hallmark movie commercial!). If you're on the fence about the additional expense of a videographer, I couldn't recommend Katie and her team at 97 Films enough. So worth having your big day captured so that you can watch for years to come 3

From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything.

We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink.

Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was.

The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.

Where do we begin? Breanne was the sweetest, most understanding gal that you need on your side the day of your wedding. She took the time to clearly and kindly communicate from the very first inquiry email I sent her to giving her all on the day of my wedding. She made us feel comfortable and excited for the biggest day of our life so far! I knew from the way she carried herself with poise and grace, the way she listened and her exquisite taste that she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding day. If you appreciate classic and timeless photography, Breanne is the best in the biz. She exceeded expectations in every step of the process. Our photographs are so lovely. She put in so much care and work to deliver a quality product and service. Traditional, classic, timeless. The time and effort she put into capturing our day is priceless. The best part? She was our hype queen on the wedding day. That's something you can't buy and can't fake! Love ya, Breanne!

We cannot reminisce about our wedding without our wedding cake being mentioned. We had so many guests reach out to us after and ask where they got the cake from. My husband and I don't usually like cake too much, but her cakes are different. They are so good!! We live about two hours away from her cake shop, and we have been back for an order of cupcakes. She has so many flavors to choose from.

Kathleen and Melody made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! They easily brought my vision for my hair and makeup to life and helped my wedding party look gorgeous. Kathleen and Melody were also so sweet and made the long get ready process fun. Kathleen’s communication was on point too! I think I ended up emailing her more than any other vendor during the wedding planning process and she was always quick to respond, assist with any concerns, and adapt to unexpected last minute changes. I planned my wedding out of state and she even gave me some wedding planning recommendations that were not hair and makeup related! I cried a few happy tears throughout our wedding and my makeup did not smudge even a little bit. I highly recommend Kathleen to help you feel confident and look gorgeous on your wedding day!

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.
