Here's what wedding couples are saying about highly recommended,
top rated, ranked best Michigan wedding photographer and wedding
photojournalist Marci Curtis on Michigan wedding review sites and thank you notes ...




"We hired Marci Curtis for our engagement photos in May 2023 and then our wedding on 12/16/23. I'm not even sure where to start because she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is creative and talented; we couldn't be more pleased with how both our engagement and wedding photos turned out. She uses her photos to tell a story and doesn't do the staged or fake photos that have become so popular lately. Her photos evoke genuine emotion. When we look back at our photos now, she captured an actual moment in time that we can remember instead of some silly pose we were forced to do. She is an exceptional communicator and had so much information to offer for planning a wedding that wasn't even related to photography! Marci answers emails quickly and is extremely thorough. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and actually anticipate doing so when we can come up with another occasion we need to capture! Thank you Marci!"

"I can't say enough good things about Marci! My husband and I also hired her for our engagement shoot to get to know her before the wedding, totally recommend other couples do the same! She was so laid back and warm, but also professional and ready to work hard. Our photos are beyond gorgeous, worth every penny!"

"Marci is just incredible! She knows so much about weddings and how to make them run smoothly. When we got off track of the timeline she found ways to get us back on track, and she was so fun too! My favorite photos were the candids she got of our friends and family. She was helpful not just the day of but in the lead up as well. And the best part is that we got our photos back in only a week and they are absolutely beautiful!"

We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives, and we are so grateful to have had photographers with a personal connection who clearly truly cared for us throughout the day. Thank you so much for your support."

Not to mention... she's so affordable, she delivers hundreds of pictures, and you don't have to wait months for your pictures, either. Thank you so much, Marci, I literally couldn't have gotten through that day without your presence!"

She can coordinate a wide array of folks and provides guidance that truly helped our picture taking process go down without an issue. Also, Marci's always snapping pictures and she captures all the candid, wonderful moments that really make a wedding magical."

"Before I had even booked Marci she was already worth the money that I paid. She had invaluable recommendations that transformed the wedding into something even better than I had planned before we even signed a contract. We had a winter wedding and she did such a good job capturing the aesthetic. She used so much of the background for amazing shots and made sure to let us know different times of the day/night that would make for good pictures so we could enjoy a fun variety. The amount of information she gave me before the wedding was so appreciated, it was our first time getting married and she helped us really get a feel for what to expect. Hire her, you will not be disappointed."

"Marci PERFECTLY captured all of the love and fun of our New Year's Eve wedding. We don't love posing for photos so we were nervous, but Marci made the process fun and easy and made us feel so at ease. She was incredibly easy to work with, and insanely fast--she sent our 1,700 photos ONE WEEK after our wedding! I initially regretted not having a videographer, but Marci's photos totally made up for that. She captured all of the special moments and her photos truly tell the story of our perfect day. We cannot be more grateful to Marci for doing such an amazing job capturing the memories of our special day!"

"Marci was easy to work with, on-time, organized and fun. Marci helped to keep the bride and groom on schedule, while finding beautiful places in the venue to capture pictures. Having a winter wedding in the Atrium of the Southfield Westin, Marci knew the lighting would change and made great use of that in the pictures. We were especially pleased with the many candid pictures of family and friends that Marci took. Marci really was personable and truly fun. Booking Marci was simple, she gave great advice as far as timing, makeup, "first look" etc., and her services were reasonably priced. We were very happy with Marci."

"Marci Curtis is an incredibly talented photographer who captured the special moments of our Fall wedding perfectly. From the candid shots of our guests to the posed portraits of the bride and groom, every photo was stunning. Marci has an eye for detail and a knack for finding the perfect angle, which is evident in the final product. Her creativity shone through in the unique and beautiful shots she captured, which we will treasure for years to come. Marci's patience and direction made our photo sessions stress-free, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her for any photography needs. She is a joy to work with, responsive, always professional, and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Marci Curtis for any photography needs, she truly exceeded our expectations."

We had so much fun with our engagement photoshoot, we knew that our wedding photos would be equally amazing, and they were and then some! Thank you for sharing the moment with us and capturing everything perfectly! We really loved working together with Marci and can confidently say you won't regret hiring her for your special day as well!"

"If you are considering booking Marci as your wedding photographer, do it!! She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and brings so much more than just her photography skills to her assignments. She was prepared with last minute emergency items that helped make the day go smoothly. I had a vision of taking photos outside in the streets of downtown Detroit and she captured them beautifully! I am not always comfortable in front of a camera, but Marci really helps make the photography process relaxed and helped calm some nerves before the ceremony. Even months after my wedding, I still obsess over all my wedding photos for hours because they turned out so beautifully. I would 110% recommend Marci Curtis to anyone for any occasion!"

"Marci captured the most magical moments from our special day, and was honestly a breath of fresh air! She was incredibly professional and flexible, and payed such close attention to the little details that can easily be missed. Through looking at her photos, we are able to go back and relive our wedding day over and over again. I honestly can't stop looking at them! She captured so much love and happiness from that day, and we are forever grateful! She is honestly the best of the best, and we can't say enough great things about her. Trust us, you will not be disappointed with her work!!"

"Our engagement and wedding photos turned out beautiful. Marci absolutely deserves recognition as the best wedding photography. Her experience, creativity, and professional commitment all lend themselves to capturing real and meaningful expressions.
You will quickly learn, as I did, that she has a way of injecting fun into any situation using her sense of humor so that nothing feels for unnatural or forced. Her ideas for unique poses and backgrounds that make use of nature also led to some very memorable photos.
Lastly, I am a planner and love to have all the fine details mapped out well in advance. Marci always responded promptly to my emails and provided all the answers I could possibly need. Her wedding guides were also very much appreciated and helped us to get the optimum flow for our special day. Thanks to her advice we were able to greet all of our guests earlier than planned which freed us up to truly enjoy the rest of our evening. "

"Marci is the ultimate professional and wedding photographer. She did our wedding on August 13, 2022 and we've already had amazing feedback from family/friends on our photos. She's calm, creative, and the exactly the person you need on your wedding day (or any other important event where high quality, beautiful photos are needed). We received our photos within 2 weeks of our special day, which was awesome. Everything ran smoothly and we really appreciated Marci's fun, calming, and professional approach. She keeps an "emergency kit" with a crochet hook or whatever that thing is called. It literally saved the day for getting the buttons on the back of my dress looped (I had like 20 small buttons). In closing, we are forever grateful to Marci for capturing our special day so beautifully and wanted to send a heartfelt thanks publicly. Marci for the win!"

And Marci was so easy and fun to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!!"

"Marci is both incredibly talented and super fun to work with. She was always very responsive and professional, and overall was just a joy to work with. She has a true eye for her craft and that can sometimes be rare in the wedding business. Our pictures turned out AMAZING. She managed to capture US but like the very best versions of us. We also received our pictures super fast! We were still on our honeymoon when they came in. I have heard horror stories of other couples waiting months, or sometimes never getting them at all. Marci met every deadline she committed to, and we never had to pester her for anything. She also gets very big bonus points for successfully managing a group of slightly intoxicated groomsmen. 100% recommend Marci! :)"

She also got our pictures back to us very quickly after the wedding. She goes above and beyond to get the best shot, and is a blast to be around. My whole family/wedding parties loved her- would 100% recommend!"

"Marci is SO amazing! She photographed my sister’s wedding a few years ago, and we knew we needed her 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!"

Dear Marci,

Thank you so much for photographing our wedding. Your personality is perfect for lassoing family members into photos and handling such a chaotic event.
We were so thrilled to have shots of all our immediate family, as well as some truly wonderful photos of us around the hotel. You were instrumental in making our dream wedding come true.
Sincerely,
Holly Jennings & Eric Freitas

Dear Marci,
Thank you for all of your hard work on our wedding day. We feel so lucky to have found you! You are an amazing photographer, and a wonderful person. Thank you for being a key part of our Best Day Ever, and capturing moments we will never forget. Oh, and you were a rockstar at our wedding! From just how nice you were, to being everywhere at once, to serving my guests more water...Bobby and I are in awe (actually he uses the word "spectacular"). Everyone we've seen since the wedding have all stated how impressive you were to them. Some thought you were one of our relatives, lol! But that's how much fun you were having, and you looked like you loved being at our wedding.
With Love, Bobby and Danielle

A U of M Michigan League Wedding featuring a lovely University of Michigan couple.


Hi Marci -
We brought our wedding pictures back to Michigan for Christmas to show my extended family. They could not stop talking about you! I had no idea of the Marci fan club that exists in my family. A few aunts even said ours were the best wedding pictures they've seen in a long time.
We gave my uncle a print of him literally in the air on the dance floor. He said it's going on the mantle and we could not stop laughing at the intensity of the picture. He couldn't believe someone could capture his "essence" in still photography :)
I sent my grandmother a copy of our extended family picture in July since she was unable to travel at the time and missed the wedding. She moved into an assisted living facility in the summer and apparently showed every nurse in the place because they all knew who everyone was. She passed away a few weeks ago and the nurses knew all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandkids by name because she was so proud of that picture.
Even though we only received a day or two of your time, the pictures we gained from you are special. Yes, we have ourselves framed in our own house, but the other pictures are having an impact on people other than Fernando and I. This makes it worth it and I'm glad we had you take the time to do the big extended family pictures. We are so happy you were able to get candid shots of literally every guest.
If/when we ever move back to Michigan you'll be my first choice for photography needs in the future! Until then, I'll just tell everyone about you who asks about local photographers.

Dear Marci, thank you so much for making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. Our photos are beautiful and really capture the joy and love we felt all day long. You went above and beyond, driving us around before the ceremony and we are thrilled with our photos and experience. Thank you for everything!
All the best, Adam and Sarah Azar




Marci, Thank you for taking our pictures at our wedding. We loved your creative ideas. You did a great job of keeping us calm before and after our ceremony. Everyone's favorite photo was the shot of Maurice laughing at his brother Anthony dancing with his Aunt. We all enjoyed watching all the great photos you took during the reception. Thanks for capturing all our good memories on our wedding day. We hope to use you again in the near future.

Marci, I was going to send an email but your services warranted a special card. thank you so much for everything for my wedding day. The photography of course, but also your professionalism, warm and caring demeanor, and all the little touches that make you someone very special. I would refer you in a heartbeat to any bride and I look forward to you shooting all our pictures from this day forward.
Sincerely, Lauren and Chris Flesher

Marci,

Well, here is the last installment of the Karolski / Stopera wood-themed wedding - the thank you card.

Although we paid for your services, we both wanted to send you this card noting our sincere gratitude for providing your professional services for OUR wedding... the more we sift through your pictures the more we realize the amazing narrative that you were able to capture as the day flew by (as all married couples predicted it would).

We very much appreciated being your subject for the day. And despite it being your job, we hope our wedding was at least a bit more entertaining and/or enjoyable than the average.

Thanks for sticking around to catch the breakdancing - definitely a highlight! And we both were happy to find you popped in our photobooth.

Thanks again for helping us remember such a joyful day in our lives in the best or should we say, in the most fitting and desirable way :)

Sincerely,

Jeff and Sarah Karolski

The pix are great. Brought tears to my eyes. You captured the essence of the day. Thank you so much. And your daughter....well, she is just amazing.
Everyone at the wedding who viewed the photos on the screen were impressed by your skill.
I even had one lady who does serious photography as a hobby and she sang your praises as well.
Great job!
Thank you. Chris Lockwitz

Marci,
We so enjoyed having you with us that day and once again, you've made me cry with the emotion and heart you're able to capture in your photos. Everyone loved being able to see the photos you'd taken during the day on your screen at the museum. Your set-up is amazing! If you need me to write anything on your blog or give any type of recommendations in the future, just let me know, I'll be more than happy to help. I knew Wendy had chosen the perfect photographer for her wedding day the first time I saw your photos online.
Thank you again,
Thanks again! - Kathy, mother of the bride May 30th,

Marci,
I have been soooo busy since we've returned from our honeymoon that I completely forgot to send you this note! We have received our wedding pictures! They are beautiful! I can't even begin to explain how wonderfully they all turned out. Our neighbors said that they came in the mail the Tuesday after the wedding while we were gone. It was such a nice present to come home too!
You captured my grandmother's beauty in a way that is going to make her cry, guaranteed! And the children look gorgeous. It brought tears to my eyes (and my mother's!) looking through the photos. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you did. You have my recommendation for life!
Thanks again! - Melissa & Dennis, Macomb, Michigan

Hey there! We are back from our honeymoon, and received our photos! We have only had a chance to go through about half, and they are AMAZING... brought tears to our eyes with some of them. Just wanted to let you know that we got them, and how wonderful you were to work with! You do a fantastic job!!! We will definitely be using you for photos in the future. (Everybody is asking for your name!)
Thanks again, Ann & Erich McHugh May 2nd, Chelsea, Michigan


Dear Marci
I did not get an opportunity at Ann and Erich's wedding to personally thank you for doing such a beautiful job. As wedding coordinator at the church -I always watch to see how the photographers work - you were for the most part ..out of sight. If ok with you, I will give couples who are looking for photographers your name, with a high recomendation.
I have yet to see their pictures, but Ann is coming into town tomorrow and I am excited - so is she! Just the ones from your blog are AMAZING.
Once again, thank you! Marlene Larder

Hi Marci,
We got our pics in the mail today! They look great and of course I started uploading them immediately so I can play!!! Lots of great feedback on the photobooth (I think location was key on that and everyone loved Skye) also the projection screen was a hit. People keep telling me how cool it was to see us getting ready and all the action before hand. And we loved working with you as I knew we would...you were great! I will be recommending you all over town!!!!!
Thanks for all your help!!!!

Marci,
Paul and I wanted to thank you SO very much for the fabulous job you did at our wedding, the park and reception. Everyone loved having the slide show at the reception of pictures already! Many optima, I forgot you were around, which I guess is a good thing when you're going for natural pictures, right?
Bless you!
The pictures are incredible, as I expected....I cannot wait to get prints from them and make a photo book...I know everyone is going to love them!!!!!
Paul said last night that anyone who needs a photographer is being sent directly to you!!! You are positively wonderful and so talented. You are so easy to get along with, fun, energetic and warm. When we have a baby one day, you'll be the first one to take our family picture, that's for sure!!!!
We do love you, feel free to put us down for a reference because your pictures are absolutely spectacular and I hope we keep in touch!!!!
Bless you!

Thank you for attending our wedding and for the wonderful photos that your provided us with. You captured so many special moments, it's like watching a still-video of the entire day.

. Not only did you document our day more completely than we could ever hope for, the pictures were so beautiful that everyone wanted copies of all 2277 pictures and not just our favorites.
The disks beat us home from our honeymoon and were the perfect way to unwind for almost 2 hours (yes it took us that long to get through them all.
Thank you again for everything!! We love our photos and plan to refer you every chance we get.

Thank you for giving us gorgeous photo journalistic memories that we will have forever. If you ever need a reference (which I think is highly unlikely!), I would be honored to provide one.

Hello Marci!!
Sorry that it has taken me a few weeks to formally write you, but we've been so crazy with the move. We've finally gotten settled into our new home in CT.
We wanted to THANK YOU again for the unbelievable wedding photos. You did such a wonderful, fantastic, AMAZING job! When we look back at them, they truly tell the story of our day, and it will forever make us smile.
After we got engaged and began thinking about our wedding day, we always said it was vital to have a photo journalist who really captured us and our emotions, not just posed pictures. And, you did just that! Each photo really shows emotion and brings back all these amazing memories of the day.
The photos were also so incredibly beautiful. Lastly, not only did you do a perfect job, you are so fun and enjoyable to be around! It was truly the perfect combination.
Thank you again!! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

I especially love some of the sequences that tell a story, like when I forgot to grab my bouquet from Anne and the two pictures of my cousin Megan fanning herself in the back of the church. Also, your daughter's photobooth pictures are wonderful as well- there's a sequence where the cousins on my side of the family were waiting for one last cousin to show up, and the sequence of those pictures is fabulous!!!
            Thank you so much for everything!!! You are an AMAZING photographer!!!!!!!

Dear Marci,
It's been two years since our wedding, but we are still in "wedding world" with several friends and family getting married this year. We love recommending you to everyone who asks us our opinion. Unfortunately, none of them could book you because you were already busy!
The pictures you took for us are so awesome and they fill every part of our home. We felt that the pictures were the most important part of the wedding because they contain all of our memories and we are so glad we had you!
I enjoyed looking at your new slide show and wish we could do our wedding all over again.

Marci,
I wanted to let you know that I am referring a girlfriend of mine to you. She asked for your name following a good two minute rave about how wonderful I thought you were. It reminded me that Russ and I never took the opportunity to thank you for the beautiful photos and being such a huge help to me at the wedding. Thank you - you were everything we hoped for and more.
I have now set about dreaming up another party big enough to justify inviting you back. Russ is less thrilled about that :)
I hope you and your family are well,
Emily Long
PS, my mother sends her best too.




Couple runs in the frigid cold after out doors photos      Groom gets more for his garter grab

Hi Marci!
Thanks again for doing an amazing job...so many guests came up to me and jon at the end of the night and commented on how nice it was to not have a photographer shoving a camera into their face! Also, I wanted to tell you how glad I am that you stepped into the kitchen storage area with Jon and I....I had so many emotions going through my brain at that time, I don't even remember what he and I talked about, but after seeing the photos, all the memories came rushing back and we both teared up.
Thanks again for catching the moments that felt like they flew by. I hope you were able to have at least a little bit of fun at the wedding too! Also, just a "head's up" my mom and sister loved you so they'll probably be trying to book you for her (my sister's) wedding which will surely happen in the next year or so.
Thanks! katrina


Marci-
Jon and I finally put together an album (and we're waiting for a photo book we ordered to come in) of all the great photos you took and I just wanted to thank you one more time for doing such an amazing job. Every time I look at the photos, I'm reminded of what an incredible night that was for not only Jon and me, but also for our family and friends. Everyone who has seen the photos comments on how happy everyone looks and how no one looks like they are fake smiling... I realize all that was captured because you ROCK!
Thanks! Katrina

Imagine our surprise when 6 days after our wedding, our photos were in our mailbox. We have been looking at them and we are having a very hard time trying to pick our favorites. Neither one of us can find the words to express how grateful and happy we are with them. We will recommend you to everyone! Thank you again for the wonderful memories you helped to keep fresh in our minds.

Addison Oaks couple on their wedding day this fall.      This is for you Curtis since I think you're the only one who's ever read one of these!

Dear Marci,
Thank you for sending us our wedding photos so quickly! They arrived in the mail right before we left for our honeymoon, so we didn't have time to write you until we got back. We absolutely love your pictures - they tell the story of our romantic, fun wedding day, plus a few bonuses of things that happened that we didn't see! We have looked at them over and over again, and every time we do, we relive the joy of that day.
Another bonus - you were great to work with! Very professional yet friendly and fun. Your patience and diplomacy while working with large family groups and young children are commendable! We highly recommend you to all brides!
Best Wishes,
Teresa & Curtis

Dear Marci and Skye,
Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day with such beautiful pictures. They are memories our families and we will cherish forever. The garden, dance floor and photo booth pictures were probably our favorites, but we loved all of them. More importantly, you were both so nice to work with. Marci, you always returned my e-mails right away and we barely noticed your presence at the reception -- which I think is a good thing! Please, please, please use me (us) as a reference if you need one or would like us to put together a testimonial for your website. You guys are great!
Thanks for everything,
Aimee and Matt




Out of town couple raves about wedding photographer Marci Curtis who shot their Ann Arbor wedding.      Wedding photos taken at the U of M's Law Quad were loved by wedding couple.

Marci,
Thank you so much for the pictures--we LOVE them! Sorry it has taken us so long to get in touch--I am sure you can imagine the craziness of the last month. We got the pictures when we returned from our honeymoon and had a great time looking through all of them. They were as great as we imagined and we can't tell you how many people are raving about them.
Thanks again and feel free to send any prospective brides our direction!

Marci,
The pictures are absolutely fabulous. Shaun and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. There are so many great shots to choose from and we are having trouble narrowing them down. We loved the fact that you seemed to capture our personalities in each shot. The pictures really look like us and resemble the way we act with each other which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you for paying attention to detail and capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Sincerely,

Hi Marci,
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know how else to say it. Rob and I could not be happier with how our wedding photographs turned out. As a journalist myself, I respect your skill so much. You really captured "us" - through all the laughter and tears (and there was a good amount of both). As a bride, your kindness and professionalism was appreciated. Everyone says the wedding day goes by so fast - and it did - but the photos chronicle so much of the day. We get to re-live those moments through amazing photos, and we're so thankful for that. Best,
Joy (and Rob) Visconti

Dear Marci,
We knew after meeting you that our wedding photos would be perfect, and we were not disappointed. We were very happy to have you as part of our wedding day. You were a very calming presence and were great to work with. We will treasure our wedding photos foreer. Please pass our appreciation on to Skye as well, because the photobooth was a great part of our day. We have a fun and unique guestbook with her pictures in it!
Thank you for setting up your laptop at the reception. Everyone loved seeing the pictures before the night was over (and have been bugging us to see all of the pictures!).
Thank you again for our great pictures!

Marci, Here is a proper thank you for the wonderful job you did for us. I can't put into words how happy we are about the pictures. You've caught all the moments, the big and the small ones, with their emotions and meanings. All your photographs have this something special, this little something that is missing in most people's work, that transforms a picture into something more. I could make paintings from some of the pictures, because the angles are just right and the composition just as it should be. Working with you was also wonderfully easy, and I was never worried. I wish you all the best in your career and I hope there'll be a few more books - they are so neat! Thanks again, Francesca

Marci, you are beyond amazing. The pictures are beautiful, and people's jaws are LITERALLY dropping when we tell them we have our pro pics already - less than a week after the wedding. We were astounded. We just wanted to thank you again for your beautiful work at our wedding. We cannot stop looking at our pictures! (In fact, I had to tear myself away from the computer just to write this note.) We cannot extress strongly enough our gratitude. Your joyful presence at our wedding, the speed with which you sent our photos, and, of course, the photos themselves were all above and beyond our expectations. Our pictures will be loved and cherished for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for that wonderful gift!

You have such a wonderful ability of putting everyone at ease and capturing such unique, beautiful moments. Everyone tells you that the day goes by so quickly, and that you miss so much of what was going on around you. Because of your pictures, we have those memories too. Family, friends, tears and joy...you caught it all for us to cherish for years to come. We're so grateful and blessed you were a part of our big day! Thanks again,

Hi Marci, I just wanted you to know that Eric and I received photos when we got back from our honeymoon this weekend. Thank you so much for getting those to us! I really love the veil shots and the pictures with the wheat. So, many of the shots are great, especially with that sunset. We laughed quite a bit on some of the photos of the kids too. We are still going through all of them which has been fun. Thank you too for going above and beyond your photog duties. I'm so glad that you could get my dress pinned up correctly. I was getting a little uneasy with my sister's capabilities back there. Also, thanks for the hairspray; I think I ended up keeping your bottle. Sorry! Eric and I both loved having you at the wedding, and honestly I wish that I had another wedding just so that I could work with you again. So here's one more thank you, although I could say many more! I'm so glad that we were able to meet you. All the best

Hi Marci, I just wanted to write and say thank you for the wonderful job you did as my photographer. We received the photos exactly two weeks from our wedding and couldn't be happier. The way you captured the special moments was just perfect. You were professional, prompt and courteous! I absolutely love our pictures and your photojournalistic approach was fabulous! It was exactly what I wanted and I can't wait to put together my album. I was so surprised when you set up a photo slide show of the ceremony at the reception - and all my guests were excited to see them. We weren't expecting that and it was an added touch that meant so much to us. I love the fact that I received my own digital images that I can edit myself and create my own book. It will save us so much money in the long run and we are able to print as many as we want, whenever we want. You were worth every penny - and all I can say it thank you!!!!

Hi Marci! I know you've seen these, but I got them all online. Please feel free to share with anyone who wants a reference as to everything that a VERY happy customer gets! The day went by so fast for us, and it's amazing that we can "relive" so much of it just by looking at the pictures. We received a ton of compliments before anyone even saw the pictures! People kept asking me if you & Skye were friends because you seemed so much more into being there than other photographers they've seen. I had no doubt that the pictures would be all I wanted and obviously there were no surprises there. But I was surprised and delighted by all the shots of things we didn't get to see at the time. You caught so many beautiful, candid moments, they're art, but completely honest, exactly what we wanted. I could say a lot more but there's a character limit, so THANK YOU!

Dear Marci, I wanted to thank you so much for the gorgeous photos you took at my son's wedding at Meadowbrook on October 7th. You managed to capture the day beautifully. I never imagined that photos could tell such a story. I shared my album with friends and co-workers and they all agree that your work is the best they have ever seen! Thanks so much for helping to create our magical day! Cheri & Ed Bissett

Marci, Hello, I am sorry it has taken me so long to write you and thank you for such a wonderful job done. Peter and I were blown away by your talent. You captured our day so well.

I knew from the moment I was reading your website that you would be a perfect match for Peter and I, and you were so much more than that. I truly have never seen pictures done so well.

Marci -
All we can say is "Wow!" The photos are absolutely stunning and we're amazed at the moments you managed to capture on film. We sat down and looked through all 1,200 photos and every 5 or 10 minutes one of us would say "She caught that on film?!" The photos were like a slow motion video capturing each and every one of our special moments on our wedding day.
I don't know how you managed to cover all of Amanda's "must take photos", but you did! From Grandma crying during the ceremony to our decorated bridal suite, you managed to cover all of our requests.
The quality of your photos is unbelievable and your professionalism during the wedding was unparalleled. You managed to coral everyone as needed without making it seem like a chore and we completely forgot you were there throughout the evening (and that's a good thing)!
Thank you so much for capturing every moment of our wedding day, Marci, and please feel free to use us as a reference anytime!

Marci, We were so amazed at how fast you were able to get them to us. THANK YOU! Secondly, we were absolutely wowed by all the pictures. You truly did a phenomonal job photographing the events of the day. We could not be any more pleased. You have true talent. And the favorites you put in a separate folder for us, what a nice touch!! 941 pictures -- wow~!!! We were sooo pleasantly surprised. The picture you took of me and my mom crying was extremely special and I'll always cherish it. You know just how to capture the moment. The picture of the empty seat with the flower on it for Jeff's mother was a particularly poignant shot. We so appreciate you understanding the symbolism of this. We literally received myriad complements about your work at the hotel/wedding/reception. Everyone was really, really impressed with the data show you set up. You will certainly be a photographer we refer people to for years to come so I hope you don't get too flooded with requests. :) You made our day so special and it was so fun having you there to share it with us. We cannot thank you enough. Sincerely,

MI wedding photojournalist gets rave reviews from happy Michigan brides

Dear Marci,
I truly love the pictures...in fact, I wanted to post so many of them, I had to make them into two albums. Recently, I saw a friend's wedding album from one of the "typical" wedding photographers (snore!). I love mine so much more- thank you!
Also, many family members commented on how friendly you were and "not bossy like other photographers." As for me, I liked how you "got the job done!" I am the kind of person that loves to look back at old photos often and I know I'll be enjoying the ones you took for the rest of my life. If I can ever provide a reference for you, count me in! You can tell people I said, "Book this lady...NOW!" You captured the fun of our day- we are not boring people and didn't want boring photos- YOU ROCK!
Ever grateful,

Thanks again,
Rosemarie 6/16/06




Marci,
I finally, finally have the time to email you the link with about 1/8th of your photos from our wedding. I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVE them, they are exactly what we were looking for and more. They have been praised by friends and family.
Even the place that I took them to get developed asked me to wait to talk to the manager because he thought that I was the photographer (God forbid a couple actually own their own negatives!). He said how great they were, asked about you and said that all the staff was raving about how personal the wedding was. Recently, a friend paid $10k for her wedding pictures. Nuts, right?
Even though she saw how great my pictures are she is one of those people that thinks price reflects quality. Needless to say that her pictures were VERY generic and not very good and she hates them. I tried to tell her! Anyway, Thanks again. You were wonderful, and the pictures will be treasured forever!
Karen




Hi Marci,
I am speechless...the pictures are AMAZING!!!! You did a fabulous job!!! I will send you a CD with all of the pictures. There are too many awesome pictures...I can't decide which ones to send you!

Marci,
Thank you so much for making our special day such a beautiful event. It was perfect, due in large part to you! The photographs were more gorgeous than I could ever imagine! You captured all of the most important moments of the day and so many more moments that I was not there to witness, and so, your photos were a complete and wonderful script of the entire day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Much thanks,
Nicole McKenzie




Marci,
Thank you so much for capturing our wedding. Our pictures were so wonderful! I couldn't be more pleased! It was an absolute delight having you. We're very big fans of yours. Thanks!
Love, Chris & Jesse





Hi Marci,
It took us a few months to get around to putting together our album, but once we sat down and started really looking at the pictures we realized all over again how happy we were with your work. The whole day really is documented and looking at the hundreds of photos really helps us remember details and moments that we wouldn't have otherwise. It was important for us to have our wedding photographed in a truly photojournalistic style that showed the real emotions of the day, and we are so happy we took the time to choose a true photojournalist.
Brendan was in a wedding this past weekend and mentioned this yet again after the bridal party spent most of the day posing for "candid" shots. Our photos are truly unique compared to almost every other wedding album I've seen, and I can't believe how affordable you were (especially considering we have nearly 700 photos from the day with negatives)! I also wanted to thank you for how great you were to work with. Friends and family involved in the wedding still mention how great you were. Take care,
Tara



Hi Marci,
I can't begin to thank you for doing such a fantastic job with our wedding! You were able to capture not just the people and events, but the character of the day-- both the poignant and sweet moments and the joking, laughing, and dancing.
And as much as we love the photos, we also just loved YOU! In the crazy hours before the wedding, it felt like we just had another good friend with us. And during the ceremony and the reception, you were so discrete, most of our guests were barely aware that you were around. You caught the moments without interrupting them, and we really appreciate that.
We tried so hard to make sure that our wedding wouldn't be exactly like every other cookie-cutter event we've been to. We wanted it to be casual but beautiful, meaningful but fun, and to really reflect our own style.
And your photos accomplished that. Even in the posed family shots, everyone looks relaxed and happy instead of stiff and formal the way most wedding portraits look. We couldn't be happier!
I can't wait for a friend to get engaged so I can recommend you!
Thanks again for everything,
Heather





Marci,
You were an integral part of our daughter's wonderful wedding. We could not have asked for a more talented, less intrusive photographer, and the quality of the pictures is wonderful! No one was left out. It is great to have so many pictures to view; we pore over them, still finding new favorites months later.
The group photos are great, but the private moments you captured are the best. I must also praise the personality of our excellent photographer. You contributed terrific ideas for shots, while also accommodating many requests from other people. I have observed many prima donnas in your line of work, but you could not have been easier to work with, and you made a day fraught with potential stresses so easy. You reassured everyone, and we appreciated it, and you, so much.
Affectionately,
Paul and Dolores Tummonds




Dear Marci,
When we originally called you to do our wedding it was based on the recommendation of a friend who used you. Not having seen her photos, my (then) fiance and I met with you to view your portfolio. We were pretty impressed but as portfolios so often capture the best of the best, I was still a bit skeptical. Our decision to use you was based almost as much on the fact that we would be keeping the negatives as your portfolio.
However,when I picked up the 16 rolls of film from the developer I was absolutely unprepared for what I saw. Stunning does not even begin to describe them! The formal photos were good (but many can do fine looking posed work) but it was the rest of the photos that took my breath away! There was picture after picture of candid shots that were truly phenomenal! The brightness, clarity and vivid color aside, you somehow managed to capture what people were feeling - such beautiful expressions on people's faces and the joy of the event! I have shown my photos to many people and everyone has commented on how amazing they are. I have even been asked for your contact information so that others can hand it out as references! Truly a bargain at your pricing, I would not hesitate to recommend you to everyone and to use you for another event where I want a beautiful photo record. I cannot thank you enough - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! Best Regards,
Chris & Michelle




Hi Marci,
I've been meaning to email you for a while to let you know that we got back all of our photos from our wedding on July 19th and couldn't be more thrilled with them. They are really great! If you ever need any sort of reference, we'd be more than happy to provide one. In addition to the quality of pictures, we just thought that you were really cool!
Christine



Hi Marci,
We have had all the wedding pictures (from 12/30/04) developed and are thrilled with them. I was in a friend's wedding two weeks before mine and couldn't believe how much she paid just to get a few formal, posed pictures. I like the fact that we can have all the negatives and do whatever we want with the pictures. I'm looking forward to making our album when I can find the time. I love the way the pictures tell the story of the wedding from beginning to end. While the formal pictures are nice to have, the informal, photojournalistic-style photos are my favorites. There are so many things in the pictures that I never saw or didn't notice. We are so happy with the pictures and are so glad that we found you!
I also wanted to let you know that we appreciated your fun and helpful personality. You seemed to "blend in" and stay out of the way when you needed to, yet you always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to catch great moments and also to help with other things that needed to be done. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special! Please feel free to use any of my comments for advertising or to use me for a reference. Thanks again,
Kristi



Marci,
After having my hair dresser run 3 and a half hours late, receiving the wrong bridal bouquet, having a young cousin put his hand through one of my cakes, arriving 2 hours late to the church and countless other issues on my wedding day you were the one piece of the day that went perfectly! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job with our wedding photographs. Since both Jeff and I have been in a million wedding we truly appreciated how quickly & professionally you worked. It made our day so much more enjoyable to know that you were catching every minute of it in such a creative way. My friends and family were blown away by A) the amount of photos you took B) the quality and beauty of them. As my father in law said "I didn't even know she took half of these, they are wonderful!". You made a very hectic and problem filled day run smoothly and efficiently while putting everyone at ease, which at the time seemed impossible. If you ever need a recommendation to sing your praises call the Andersons! Thanks again for a job well done.
~ Bree & Jeff Anderson




Marci -
I can't thank you enough for the excellent work as our photographer! The pictures turned out wonderfully! They are simply awesome. We've heard so many comments about how our photographer captured every moment just right! Jerry and I have even commented that we didn't know you were there when some pictures were taken! Thank you so much for taking us on and being our photographer. Your professionalism and caring really made our day. We were so comfortable around you- like you were an old friend! Our bridal party enjoyed working with you also. They loved that they didn't have to stand there forever!
Thank you again for everything. You have created memories for us that we will treasure forever!
Jenna and Jerry Gormley



Hi Marci,
Just want you to know how much we have enjoyed the candid photos you were able to capture at my son and daughter in laws wedding May 27th, 2005. Woody and Katya had a small wedding but the photographs will always be a large part of our lives. Your work is fantastic, I was surprised to see so many photos that were totally unexpected which makes them priceless. The traditional staged photos are nice but the way in which you captured the younger children at the ceremony as well as the adults at the reception was totally unique.
Thank you again for making this a special day for not only my son and daughter in law but for our families and friends. The candid pictures certainly added a very personal effect and will be a reminder of that special day for years to come. I was very impressed with your work, and the personality, fun and spirit that you put into each and every picture is an added touch.

We're not allowed on the Knot, so we can't control what the Knot says about us. They post on their chat boards great things about me because that's how my Michigan brides are finding this Michigan wedding photojournalist. I also appreciate the other wedding photography review websites that review Michigan and Detroit based photographers. The reviews are done independently and because my brides love the wedding photos I produce, they are more than pleased to spread the good news.I'm from Troy MI and I travel a two hour driving radius from the metro detroit area, which means I photograph weddings in Lansing and Ann Arbor and someoptima I can even do wedding photos as far away as Midland Michigan. My wedding photography is shot with a photojournalistic style because I am a real photojournalist. I'm sorry if you're having trouble reading this, but this information here has helped you to find me. All of this is repeated in other sections of my website. I'm based in the Detroit area of Michigan. I often travel to the surrounding counties of Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw and Wayne. Others might refer to it as being a wedding photojournalist. I'm a wedding photojournalist in Troy, Michigan. I'm a wedding photojournalist in the metro Detroit area of Michigan. I don't advertise on the Knot, the Knot costs too much, so I don't use The Knot. The Knot chat board talks a lot about me and it's apparently all positive. I don't need to spend anything on advertising because all my brides are the recommendations I want and they are the ones that generate all this business for me! These comments will give you an idea of how I work. They are all unsolicited and real (including all their spelling mistakes!). I'm not a member of the wedding photojournalist association. The Wedding Photojournalist Association does not include very many actual photojournalists so I don't use them.
