I can't say enough good things about Marci! She was so laid back and warm, but also professional and ready to work hard. Our photos are beyond gorgeous, worth every penny!
Detroit, MI Based Photography of Wedding Day Detail Photos | Wedding Rings, Dresses, Flowers and More
My wedding day often starts with the person whose transformation will take the most time and be the most dramatic. I have them layout all their carefully selected wedding day details; rings, cufflinks, ties, jewelry, invitations and any other details that you've put so much time and thought into so I can photograph them in a way that goes along with the theme, colors or even the weather. Anything that helps me tell the story of your day helps. I know that sounds weird for detail photos, but I always search around the area for something that adds to the story and celebrates you, your venue or the atmosphere you've worked so hard to create. This is why all my detail photos look different.
Most of the things I photograph will get dirty (like wedding dresses), discarded (like wedding day shoes - almost all of them will leave your feet aching and this is true for men and women), wilted, eaten or taken away by guests. I know you labored over all these little details and so I take photos of them to you will always have a nice record of something you put a lot of time and effort into.
Do I have a ton of these wedding detail photos around my site? No, no I do not. Why, you may ask? Because I really am a storytelling wedding photographer. I look for peak moments, fleeting expressions and emotion. Wedding details don't have those. But they do often tell a story, even if most casual viewers of this wedding details gallery can't decipher it. Like hanging wedding rings from a frozen branch because your wedding day had an unexpected ice storm.
Oddly, it really takes me a LONG time to get those wedding details photographed. Why? I mean, they are inanimate. But tracking down the wedding rings, finding a spot for the dress, finding all the guys things, etc. take a LOT more time than most people think it will take. So most of the wedding detail photos don't appear in my galleries on my site's main section fronts.
I'm always amazed by how different each and every wedding has a different style, color scheme and statement. I never know how everything's going to be pulled together until I arrive. I always request clients send me a copy of their invitation because there are often clues about the flavor of the wedding day and all the details that will follow.
So yes, I always photograph everything that's in front of me. If it's ready to be photographed, it will be captured.
Thanks for looking through my wedding photographer's portfolio of wedding day details like flowers, cakes, wedding dresses and rings from around Metro Detroit, Michigan and hope you'll check out more galleries while you're here.

Marci was an absolute pro and we loved working with her from first call. She had a positive spirit and it was a constant throughout our entire day together. Not only was she a great photographer she was just a helpful person in general, helping my wife with her dress moving about, keeping a timer on her phone to help us manage a sunset shot, and even helping us give last minute directions to our bus driver. Marci is the type of personality you want to surround yourself with on what can be a very stressful day and she certainly helped keep things light and enjoyable. She eagerly took our suggestions and requests and captured everything we were looking for. Her turnaround time for final shots was shockingly quick.
Highly recommended!
