About this vendor
We are Loren and Mary Beth, husband and wife. And we specialize in wedding photojournalism and artistic portraiture. To us there is far more to a wedding then what meets the eye, it's a story of two families becoming one. A story full of love and heartfelt moments that happen in an instant. These are the stories we tell with our photographs.

Mary Beth and Loren were the best people
for the job for our wedding. We knew that after our initial zoom meeting with them because they cared about getting to know us right from t...
he get go.
I am writing this review even before the full gallery is done because we are already so happy with the sneak peeks! And they made our wedding day special. So many people have already said “your photographers did an amazing job;” and they’re right! We can’t wait to see the rest but we already know they’re going to be perfect.
So easy to work with and they worked seamlessly with our vendors which made things very easy for us.
Would recommend to anyone who wants a photographer that will do great work and that you’ll have fun capturing those moments with.
Loren and Mary Beth are two of the most genuine and creative people ever! They spend time to get to know you and become friends throughout the planning process. They both were ab...
le to put my husband and I at ease while in being in front of the camera during both the engagement session and wedding day itself, which is no easy task. We left our engagement session having laughed for at least two hours. They are truly gifted at capturing the natural moments of the day and constantly were checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Their photos are dramatic, stunning, and truly capture the emotions of the entire day. We find new favorites every time we look at them. I highly recommend Loren & Mary Beth.
Loren and Mary Beth are nothing short of exceptional. They photographed our wedding in the Ann Arbor area in January of 2022 and we could not recommend working with them highly eno...
ugh. Their energy brought up the vibe of the entire event, and nearly every one of our guests told us after the fact how professional, friendly, and downright fun they were. They provided incredible pro tips throughout the day (Mary Beth showed me how to carry the train of my dress so that it photographed beautifully, Loren showed us where to stand during the ceremony so that we'd be properly centered under our arbor, etc.). On top of all of this positivity and energy, the end product of the photos was nothing short of stunning. We are so grateful to these two for making our big day so special, and for giving us the gift of memories that we'll treasure forever.
Loren and Mary Beth took pictures for our wedding at zingerman farms on 9/30/21. Not only are they so talented at what they do, but they also both are so kind and go above and beyo...
nd to make sure the day goes smoothly (Mary Beth helped put my veil on, they helped tell us what to do during the cake cutting, they checked on us during dinner to make sure we had what we needed, and etc). They are passionate and love what they do, which you can see in their work and the way they interact with people. I had many guest come and tell me that they were impressed with our Loren and Mary Beth, and that they made them feel comfortable/were not intrusive.
I also have received many compliments about our wedding pictures. We didn’t want the stereotypical wedding pictures and wanted more candid photography. They don’t just put the same filter on all your pictures and call it a day-Loren and Mary Beth wanted to make sure their pictures tell the story of the day, which it definitely did!
I can’t thank them enough for helping make the day so special and giving us the best way to look back on our special day. Jason and I are forever grateful for Loren and Mary Beth and highly recommend them!
Loren was hired by our wedding venue to cover our intimate wedding and I cannot say enough about how fantastic he was! Not only were the photos beautiful but the photos were also d...
elivered in less than a week after our event!
Loren was also a fantastic help while getting everything set up and ready! He was always willing to jump in and fix a tie or grab the bouquet for me. All of my guests were very impressed with him and I am so glad that he was a part of my day!
Mary Beth and Loren of Adore Wedding Photography are two of our favorite people and being photographed by them was an absolute pleasure! Throughout the wedding planning process the...
y have been kind and loving. From meetings at their home and dinners to get to know each other better, to checking in on us to see how the planning process is going, Adore works hard to be more than just photographers. During our engagement session, as well as on our wedding day, being photographed by Adore was fun and easy and every photo that we’ve seen is practically perfection. 10/10! We highly recommend you book Adore Wedding Photography!
We absolutely loved working with MaryBeth and Loren! We cannot say enough good things about them!
My now-husband was a bit worried about how the engagement session would go becaus...
e he doesn't like being photographed and he thought it would feel weird. From the moment we met them they put us at ease. They're friendly and easy to talk to. As we were photographed, we went to different places around the city and they gave us fun prompts that helped relax my husband's nerves and got us into a fun and loving mood where we could just have fun with each other. The photos they took were amazing and felt so real (not just posed). I love the composition and the way they use colors in their pictures.
At the wedding, they were also amazing! They were there the whole time and we had many guests tell us how impressed they were that our photographers stayed during the reception. They captured what was going on and even went as far as to seek us out and ask us if there were any photos that we wanted with our guests that we hadn't had taken yet. We were impressed with how they mixed into the crowd and seemed to be everywhere taking photos of the crowd and events, but in such a natural way that they just blended in to the scene. They were really pleasant and professional and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great photographer!
Needs more than 5 stars, I can honestly not recommend highly enough. Loren and Mary Beth went so far above and beyond what we expected from photographer. They are so friendly and p...
rofessional, and their amazing talent and experience shows in every picture they take. Their products and services are of the highest quality available and if you are looking for a photographer, Adore Wedding Photography is the best out there.
Loren and Mary Beth are not only amazing photographers but amazing people! They were so wonderful from day one. My fiancé and I felt like I was part of their family.
Their photos ...
are so unique. They are so much fun to work with!!
Highly, highly recommend!!!
I don't even know where to begin with my gratitude and happiness with Mary Beth & Loren. They are the perfect balance of professional and friend on your big day. We let them run th...
e show for photos and they did not disappoint, the photos are breath taking. Between the two, they literally captured every moment of our wedding from different perspectives and we are able to relive the best day of our lives through these beautiful photos. Our family members who were unable to attend are also extremely grateful and said they felt as if they were there when they saw them. Thank you, thank you Mary Beth & Loren!
If I could give them 10 stars I would for the following reasons:
1. As a bride with a demanding mother in law, Marybeth listened to me , gave me advise and I really appreciated it....
2. We had an out of state wedding so most of our communication was through Skype, email, text messages. They were soooo easy to get in hold with. That alone put my mind at ease. All my concerns were taken cared of. They are very organized, and professional. They return your phone calls and text messages promptly.
3. They made it very easy to pay them through there online system.
4. They arrived early for my wedding.
5. Loren and Mary Beth are very happy people and it feels good to be around people that are very positive. 😀
They are so awesome , they could run a class on running a successful business.
Every friend or acquaintance I met when I asked for wedding advice said they wished they had a better photographer - I knew this was an extremely important investment and we were s...
o lucky to be referred to Mary Beth and Loren. We had no idea we were in for so much more than photographers, these two are the sweetest that it was more like getting to see friends and catch up and a lot less like work. They were along the way with our engagement and supporting us (the Love Language book is SO helpful, we are certainly using a lot from it!). They had helpful tools in creating our timeline for the day, they had other referrals for vendors in the area (who all turned out to be AMAZING) - we would have been on the struggle bus without their help!
The pictures we have are STUNNING - so beautiful, and they captured parts of the evening we didn't get to see and I'm so thankful to have those moments to treasure. One piece of advice is to really think about who you want pictures with - I know I forgot to include some family members and that was a mistake I made unfortunately.
Loren and Mary Beth were there the entire time on the wedding day from beginning at the hair salon to the crowded dance floor at the end of the night at the Valentine Theater. They are so professional and talented in what they do - their pictures are unique, they are not incredibly staged (or the same staged pictures you see with every couple which is refreshing). You are going to have memories and quality in your pictures when you choose them as your photographer. Simply the best!
Adam and I could not be more pleased with the amazing job Adore wedding photography did for us - the photos were majestic!! Marybeth and Loren are not only extremely skilled at the...
ir profession but strife to connect with you on a personal level that just shines through the photos they capture. They catch the beautiful moments, stories and emotions that makes your special day unique and looking back on it so memorable.
You cannot go wrong with Adore - they are definitely the icing on cake!!
We can't say enough positive things about Mary Beth and Loren. They went above and beyond every step of the way to ensure our big day ran smoothly. We were fortunate enough to find...
people who truly believe in their work and the quality they provide. Mary Beth and Loren quickly changed from wedding photographers to friends to family as they went exceptionally above and beyond to take time out of their busy schedule to capture an "added wedding ceremony" at the Cleveland clinic to ensure my father in law, who passed two days after our wedding, was able to watch his son get "married." Mary Beth and Loren not only shared in our joy, but shared in our sorrows this past year truly making them one of a kind. The photographs they captured from our engagement pictures, "wedding pictures" and our big day photographs truly capture every big emotion felt that day in the most honest and raw way. Looking through all of our pictures still brings the biggest smile to my face. We are so thankful we found them and hope every bride and groom can experience their magic.
Loren and Mary Beth are a one-of-a-kind couple. They care deeply about their profession, they care about promoting small businesses, they care about their clients, and it is clear ...
they care for each other. Their photos speak for themselves (the one word wedding guests keep using when referring to their shots is "stunning") but it is the little details that set them apart.
They really wanted to get to know my husband and I as a couple and made every effort to do so, even though he is in the military and was stationed in Texas throughout the whole planning process. They sent us a copy of "The 5 Love Languages" after we booked them, later sent a gift box of skincare products from a local vendor they support, paid for our coffee when we met them the week of the wedding to go over details (at an aviation coffee shop they knew my husband would love), and even sent us a Christmas card!
We felt completely comfortable on our wedding day and we feel like they captured both of our personalities perfectly. They are the only photographers we met with and we hired them the very next day. When you know, you know! Mary Beth and Loren are the real deal--genuine, talented, creative, and fun. When we met them for coffee we spent 20 minutes talking business and an hour chatting as friends!
Their price may seem a bit on the high side for the area, but it was worth every penny for both the experience of working with them and the photos themselves.
Mary Beth and Loren, thank you again so much!
I haven't even seen the wedding pictures yet, but couldn't wait to review these phenomenal photographers! (The engagement photos they took blew me away! The quality, style, and bea...
uty of what they captured...ah, be still my heart!)
Adore's unique business model sets them apart from any other photographer I've ever worked with or known. First, they make a point to get to know their client couples. They want to understand personalities and really have a feel for who each person is; this is how they shoot the best photos. But it goes beyond having great final results; they genuinely want to get to know people. We were never just a number to them.
This husband and wife team also bring two different perspectives to what's captured, each of them having their own point of view, style, and technique.
Because they took the time to get to know us, we felt like our friends were at the wedding taking our pictures, and as a nervous bride and groom that made all the difference! We felt comfortable and at ease, and they already knew the types of pictures we'd most like, our personal comfort levels with being photographed, and what our "good sides" were!
On top of everything, they worked alongside our day of wedding coordinator and helped behind the scenes in many ways that I'm only just now finding out about. Their flexibility and willingness to do whatever they could to help our wedding day be as special as it was, goes way beyond what I expected from a photographer.
I cannot say enough about the incredible experience we had working with Mary Beth and Loren of Adore Photography. I have and will continue to highly recommend them to anyone who wants a personalized, tailored experience that looks and feels like no one else's, and one that gains new friends in the process!
We adore Adore Wedding Photography!
Where to even start with this review...I could go on and on about how amazing MaryBeth and Loren are, so that's what i'll do! From the beginning they made my now husband and I fee...
l welcome and comfortable with them. They went above and beyond to get to know us and our personalities. Whenever we needed wedding advice or vendor referral they were there to help us out. Just take a look at their work and you can see the passion! They truly are wonderful people and phenomenal photographers.
We could not have asked for a better experience with Loren and Mary Beth as our photographers!! Loren and Mary Beth took the time to build a relationship with us when make the Big ...
Day more comfortable and stress free! By having that relationship, the images Loren and Mary Beth captured were very reflective of our personalities. To help our Big Day so smoothly, they created a timeline for the day and sent it to all of our vendors, so everyone had the schedule! During the ceremony, Loren and Mary Beth captured amazing pictures while not being invasive or diverting any attention from us. Words cannot express how truly amazing Loren and Mary Beth are!!
Loren and Mary Beth are absolutely amazing!! My husband and I were searching for a photographer and just came across Adore Photography online. We checked out their work and we were...
in love! They have this artsy/fashion (not sure how else to explain it, just check out their website and you will see!) photography side to them and that's what attracted us to them. Besides their work, they are both amazing people. We loved talking to them and they made us feels very important as any bride and groom should :) I cannot say enough about them! I highly recommend this wonderful photography duo!
When I discovered that Loren and Mary Beth were wedding photographers and saw examples of their incredible work, I knew that I had to use them for our wedding - this was only 6 wee...
ks before our wedding! That weekend, the husband and wife duo met with me at our wedding venue and we spent time walking around and talking about what I envisioned with our photography. When we went over to the coffee shop and spent a few more hours getting to know each other and talking about all the wedding plans, as well as our hopes for what they would capture. Throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding, they contacted me a few times to make sure that we were still on the same page, aks if I had any other requests, and ensure that everything was on track for a great wedding day. I was very confident in their abilities to capture our best day ever!
The day of the wedding, they showed up early to take pictures of the ladies getting ready and take detail images of dresses, rings, shoes, etc. then they split up so that Loren could go take pictures of the groom and his boys getting ready. They were incredably professional and I hardly knew they were there as they quietly blended into the background while also making themselves available if I had any special requests or questions. During the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception, they captured every last detail of our day that I had worked so hard to create. The duo has so many creative and fantastic ideas and I gave them complete control to try any ideas they wanted. I just wish we had more time to take pictures than what we did.
All in all, I have not seen one image that I did not like. They captured every detail of our day so that can remember it forever! We could not be happier with our choice to go with WhiteNoyes Photography for our wedding - our Best Day Ever!
