Meet Marci Curtis | Michigan Wedding Photojournalist | Detroit Photographer
Over 1,300 weddings photographed ♥ 20+ years experience ♥ Award-winning Metro Detroit wedding photojournalist
Before photographing more than 1,300 weddings, I spent a decade as a newspaper and Associated Press photojournalist covering presidents, professional sports, and national news.
My work has appeared in Time, Newsweek, People, USA Today, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and many others.
What's YOUR story? Here's mine!
The REAL Marci Curtis …
I've never met an animal or baby I haven't tried to talk to.
I'm a silly person who takes my photography business seriously. 
♥ Giving always feels better than getting.
I spent a lot of time learning to like coffee. WHY?!?! 
♫ Betcha can't hum a show tune that I won't know.
My happy place is in the water. Any kind, any time … 
which explains why so many of my clients end up in the water!
Apparently I look JUST like someone you know!
Be nice, play fair, be curious and you'll be happy. 
My wonderful family makes me all gooey inside.
I still cry at weddings. 
I make up goofy songs about my kids, my hubby and my dog.
Any day I learn something new is a GREAT day. 
So I learn something new every day and life is great!
I'm learning to tap dance.
If I can make it better, I will. ♥
Lived in Europe for 15 years, yet can still only speak baby talk Italian and French.
My Dad was an 
. We moved a lot. 
I've been told by clients that I melt into the background during sessions. Inherited skills perhaps?
High school seniors are the most fascinating people on earth. 
The only thing I can't tolerate is intolerance.
Yoga cures everything! 
I photographed my own C-Section and both my daughter's weddings (but just their small, legal ones).
Because many people find phrases like I "shoot" people" or I take "shots" offensive and inappropriate,
I no longer use those words on my website to describe taking photos.
Thank you to the "March For Our Lives" photographers for educating me!
