Is there anything I don't photograph? Believe it or not, the portrait side of my career started with wedding couples asking for other sorts of photography.
Capturing the personality in the portraits is so much fun. I try to keep the sessions moving along and fun.
If you're looking for super posed, typical portraits, I might not be the photographer for you.
Almost all of my sessions are done outdoors, are about capturing who you are at this moment in your like. The images are dynamic and personality-filled images without the stress of perfection.
I'm an experienced fun, relaxed, expert Michigan wedding photojournalist and wedding photographer. I'm a total professional, a bit silly, and I enjoy the heck out of life. I also end up getting photographed quite a bit while working. Here are some photos of me taken in the last couple of years.
And if by chance, you're actually curious to know more about me personally, you can either check out my
bio or my
professional Facebook page for info and to see my latest "Sneak Peeks" from every ceremony I photograph.
Who took all these photos of me working? I only took one of them. The rest were done by either my favorite husband, Rodney Curtis , clients, fellow wedding photographers or friends.
Marci, I'm sick of reading. I want to see more wedding photos and I want to see them now! Okay, hold on, Veruca Salt.
Here's where you can find some of
my favorite wedding photography galleries
from around the Metro Detroit area. See if you can see why I've earned a 99.8% satisfaction grade from customers and have a 5-star rating.
Does my wedding photography look any different to you than all the gazillion other wedding photographers in Michigan? Can you see tons of wedding day moments? As a true photojournalist by training, I can spot moments coming a mile off and capture them as they happen. Can you spot all the epic wedding portraits that highlight something unique about the couple or the setting they were in?
I love the challenge of quickly finding a way to create a really unique wedding day portrait of the couple that no one expects. That blend of candids, reality and amazingly unique portraits are also what set me apart from other wedding photographers in Michigan.
I'm a Michigan wedding photographer based near Detroit, Michigan with many years of professional photography experience as a working photojournalist for the Associated Press, the Ann Arbor News, and freelancing for the Detroit News and Free Press. I switched exclusively to photographing Michigan weddings about 20 years ago and have now documented over 1,300 happy couples with their unique wedding day stories. My clients love my extremely unobtrusive style of photography, that I'm very easy going and that I appear to be everywhere, yet unseen! I also have a reputation as one of the best-rated, most affordable Michigan wedding photographers in the Metro Detroit, Michigan area. I'm certainly the most affordable Michigan PHOTOJOURNALIST in Detroit with the most wedding experience, that's for sure! I'm not inexpensive, but I provide the best customer service, best quality and best "bang for your hard-earned buck" for clients getting married on a budget who value photography, but want someone affordable. I also have a super fast (two week) turn around time with my images that my wedding clients LOVE!
In 2016 I made a lot of changes to my photography business to go as "green" as possible. To create an eco-friendly photography business, we added solar panels to our work space, now have all hybrid and electric vehicles and changed our delivery system to all electronic. Hopefully we've greatly reduced our carbon footprint. I don't for a minute believe I can save the world one photography business at a time, but I would be disappointed in myself if I didn't try to do my bit to make this world just a little bit greener and safer.
My clients receive over 1,000 edited, touched up and ready-to-print high resolution images they have full printing rights to within two weeks of their big day. All of my wedding pricing and packages are listed on my site. I think it's important to take all the guess work out of finding and comparing all the wedding photographers near the Metro Detroit, Michigan area so they can find the best, most affordable photographer to fit their budget. I've raised my prices twice in 14 years.
A La Carte add ons to my wedding photography packages include the 11x14 inch albums that I create. If you're looking to put together your own album, I've got a great resource guide. I can also add in a second photographer, extra hours and extra photo retouching services.
I've got a billion samples showcasing some of my favorite wedding photography from all venues all over the Metro Detroit area displayed in slideshows so you can see not only my "best of" wedding portfolios from each year, but also see that each couple's photos are as unique as they are!
Since I've photographed so very many celebrations, I've included a section for wedding planning and wedding day tips and I've got a pretty extensive Q & A page that should help to answer a lot of your questions about how I work as a Michigan wedding photojournalist. Ask me anything, anytime... I'm always happy to help!
I've included links to my favorite and best Michigan and Detroit based wedding professionals in hopes of steering you towards people I've worked with and know bring something special to the celebration day experience. Anybody who is on this list is someone I've worked with enough times to know they are true professionals, LOVE what they do and can make "it" happen at each and every wedding.
I rely on the happy referrals of my clients to keep my wedding photography calendar full, but if you're looking for reviews from places like the Knot, where I'm in their "Hall of Fame", you'll find lots of reviews I've received over the years. Those all come from my Michigan couples who are happy to spread the good word! I do have a rave review section, where I post thank you cards couples send me. I also love it when clients who love my photojournalistic style of wedding photography post their reviews on sites like; Wedding Wire so everyone can read about their experience with me and my photography services. I also made a "Best Wedding Photographers" list several years running for "Top Wedding Photographers in Michigan" from Expertise! They reviewed hundreds of the top Metro Detroit wedding photographers. The list is super impressive; I'm psyched and honored to be on it! Thanks to all my Detroit area couples who voted for me as their "Best Detroit wedding photographer and Detroit wedding photojournalist" 12+ years in a row!
Here's a super cool award I won in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for "Top 3 Best Rated Wedding Photographers in Detroit, Michigan". Crazy cool, right?!?
This year I was invited to join the Better Business Bureau because of my stellar reputation as a highly rated wedding photographer in Metro Detroit!
This is a new site that ranks all things wedding related called "Wedding Rule". Made their top 25 Michigan Wedding Photographers for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Yay!
And this award is also super cool. Only 23 out of over 250 wedding photographers were picked by Expertise as "Best Wedding Photographers in Detroit, Michigan". This is my 5th year to win this one!
I'm obsessed with photographing high school seniors! I find them informative, inquisitive and I always learn something new from them. All my sessions are outdoors and scheduled Monday - Thursday in the afternoons and evenings. I've got tons of senior photo locations as well and a page with tips and help for seniors to get the most out of their sessions with me.
Yes! I do photograph pregnant women with their baby bellies. It's an interesting, strange time to have your body morph so completely and while I do take more traditional maternity photos, it's also fun to show how challenging and awkward your new body can be with a lifestyle maturity session.
Honestly, I'm not sure there are better things in the world than photographing newborn babies. These sessions aren't rushed. They are calm and are all about cuteness without any stress. I don't put babies into awkward poses, I just celebrate who they are in their first week or two on earth.
Congratulations! Proposals can be tricky and require a bit more planning on both our parts. Some locations need permits and/or permissions. I can help you with that and come up with a plan so it's not so obvious what's about to happen.
Yay! Check out my list of engagement session locations I love to use, or you can create a custom package if that's your thing.
Fantastic! Women find my sessions to be empowering and fun. I've got lots of ways to make you look your best and delight your partner. EVERYONE feels nervous. Honestly, the strangest poses can look amazing, but you'd never know that from looking at the photos.
No worries! Whether you want to update your photos after you've freshened up your look and need something for your acting or modeling portfolios or you're just looking for nice images to use for whatever purpose, I've got you covered. These sessions are outdoors for a contemporary and modern feel that everyone is looking for. Let's show your personality off a bit, shall we?
Of course! Since a website is often the first thing potential clients and customers see about you, why not get personality-filled images that show off your space, your stuff and your staff to bring people to you? I can certainly help with that.
I wrote and photo illustrated three children's books for Penguin Putnam that got picked up by the fabulous Dolly Parton and her "Imagination Library" book club, which means there are over 2,000,000 copies of my books all over the country!
My three published books are; "Big Sister, Little Sister","Big Brother, Little Brother" and "I Was So Silly; Big Kids Remember Being Little".
If you're looking for my most current published work, you'll find it on my blog. It's parked at marcicurtis.com/blog/. Keeping the blog current isn't my top priority (my clients all get that #1 slot!), but I do try to post some fun shots, current wedding trends and advice along the way.
People always misspell my name, so if you're looking for Marcy Curtis or Marcie Curtis or Marcy Kurtis or Marcie Kurtis you should still be able to find me.
That's all folks! Quit reading this and go check out all the cool photos I have on the site!
