Alvyn was the absolute best photographer for our wedding day! Photography was at the top of our list because I wanted these memories forever and I am so glad we went with DWP! Alvy...
n's calm personality in the mist of the chaos was very soothing. His creative vision for photo ops were out this world. I would definitely recommend DWP and Alvyn for your wedding day!
I hired Alvyn because I LOVED the photos he did for my friend's wedding. And I can't believe it, but I LOVE our wedding photos even more!! Alvyn and his co-photographer are pheno...
menal photographers, and they captured the fun and emotion of our wedding day perfectly. Alvyn did a great job of scouting locations for photos and taking a creative lead, which I very much appreciated. On our wedding day, we didn't waste any time making game-day decisions, which left more time to socialize with our loved ones. During our ceremony, I didn't even notice either of them, they remained very discreet while still capturing gorgeous moments. What's more, Alvyn is such a kind and calm person, it was great to work with him simply because of his personality. I would recommend him to any couple in a heartbeat!
My husband and I could not be more satisfied with our experience with John! From the first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. He really took time to get to know us on a person...
al level. On our big day, I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and flexibility. After our ceremony, we had several locations we wanted to take pictures at in Downtown Detroit and a very tight time frame, and John made it happen. He had incredibly creative suggestions for shots that I would have never thought of. Our wedding party had a a great time with him as well; he was very chill and was able to coordinate our group without coming off as pushy. Worth every penny!
Photography was at the top of my list of things that I was willing to spend the most money on for our wedding. From the very beginning, John was very knowledgable and kind. Our ini...
tial meeting and consultation was very informative and John really made us feel comfortable and like he knew exactly what we were envisioning both for our engagement photos and for our wedding day. John was very organized and had a rough timeline of how a typical wedding day goes and all of the shots he likes to get. Our engagement pictures turned out amazing and we were so excited to work with John on our wedding day. John made it to our hotel early the morning of our wedding and spent the whole day with us traveling to different locations. We had so much fun working with him, our entire bridal party loved how flexible and chill in nature he was. Everyone had a great time and was able to make suggestions and get different photos that they wanted. John is very efficient and is able to coordinate large groups of people successfully without coming off as bossy or rude. We truly loved working with him and cannot wait to get our images back!
A friend of mine was a groomsmen in a wedding that John had photographed, and when my brother and now sister-in-law began planning their wedding I insisted they look into hiring h...
im. John never disappoints. Not only was he completely professional and prepared, having selected locations beforehand and familiarizing himself with the bride and groom, but he quickly became a part of the wedding party the day of. His professionalism is truly impressive, but balanced with his amiable personality, everyone was comfortable and trusted his direction (and believe me, his ability to coral a group of 20 was astounding). His thoroughness and dedication to get the perfect shot from every angle results in the most unique and beautiful moments captured, and his eye and creativity are unparalleled. Seeing the photos afterwards, I can honestly say John's photography is absolutely breathtaking.
Alvyn is absolutely amazing. I have a large family and they can be a lot sometimes, and Alvyn was great at taking control. He knows what he wants but also does a great job listenin...
g to you. You can really tell he knows what he's doing and he's professional, but also a great time and funny. I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends and family.
If I could give Alvyn 10 stars on this review I would in a heartbeat! He was everything I could have asked for; he was creative, funny, professional, fun, and above all so kind! He...
made us so comfortable and he made the whole process of driving around downtown to get the shots we really wanted a fun part of the event. I'm usually very uncomfortable in front of a camera, and my smiles come out looking forced.I didn't have to force a smile the entire night! At one point in the night, Alvyn took a picture and when he looked up from the camera the smile on his face gave me chills. He showed us the picture on the camera and it looked like it belonged in a magazine! He's so talented, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you Alvyn! made me
From the moment we met John we knew he would be our wedding photographer. Not just because of his beautiful gallery of work, but because we knew his goal was to make us happy and c...
apture the moments that meant the most to us. He even had us create a pinterest board and pin what we as a couple felt best described us and what we were looking for in wedding photographs. We had a huge wedding party and John did a great job capturing us in unique and original photographs. The day of he was professional and fun to work with. I know we were a big bunch and a lot to handle, but he never made us feel like that. He made me feel calm and confident all day. Our pictures turned out amazing. The way he captured the colors and details in each picture made them so much more extraordinary. John truly captured those moments we wanted to remember most. Thank you so much, John!!
Alvyn is amazing! If you are looking for Profesional photos with a personal touch, he is your guy. I am very camera shy and Alvyn made the experience very comfortable for me.
Honestly my beautiful bride and I can't say enough about Detroit Wedding Photography's services. John helped us through every step of the process and stayed in communication with u...
s, at no point was I EVER worried about this investment.
Starting from the day we first met with John (before even hiring) he asked many great questions about us, our wedding, our guests, and our location to be sure he was confident in what he could offer us, and honestly it got my wife and I thinking deeper and learning more about each other as well. He never acted as a salesman and was very comfortable to work with, like he was a friend of ours and really cared. Leading up to our wedding he sent us ideas, examples, and more questions to round-up his vision. On the day of, he perfectly implemented everything we discussed and showed great organization (and much leniency with last minute ideas/requests) as he led our whole family through the post-ceremony photo time and then brought my bride and I around the whole island of Belle Isle with great spots he planned for us to use. The entire time my wife and I really felt confident and beautiful as he posed us, we never felt uncomfortable and most the time he wanted to catch us in our natural ways in sort of a photo-journalistic method which felt great to be ourselves. He showed us quick previews during our shoot to be sure we were happy and was really open to anything we suggested on the fly.
Both John and his partner are very professional and well-spoken, somebody you'd love to have around at your wedding. AT LEAST a dozen guests commented to us during our reception how impressed they were with our photographers, how they were such "cool people" and that they always seemed to be in the perfect spot to capture the one-time moments (family interaction, funny dancers, genuine laughs/smiles, etc) that you can't recreate or pose.
Of all the things that can go wrong with a wedding (and did with ours), this was the best choice I made and I highly recommend them to anybody. We met with 6 other photographers as well and Detroit Wedding Photography was the clear-cut winner. The others seemed like businesses and salesman, these are actual people that care about your day and willing to do whatever necessary to make it better.
Thank you Detroit Wedding Services, we'll be contacting you each year for anniversary photos (or just to hang out haha)!!

I had a beautiful fall wedding that was captured by John from Detroit Wedding Photography. John was so easy to work with and he knew exactly what we wanted with our photographs. Ou...
r guests absolutely adored John and enjoyed getting their photographs taken. My honey and I cannot get over how beautiful everything turned out. We have already framed many of the images. If you want a photographer who goes above and beyond this is your guy!
I went through, what felt like a million, websites and reviews to find a wedding photographer - It was important to me to find someone fun and enthusiastic with a passion for captu...
ring beautiful moments! When I met with John, I knew he was going to be great and after seeing his work, I was sold! He shot my bridal shower, Rehearsal Dinner and him and Alvyn teamed up for the Wedding Day. We have so many beautiful photos capturing these important days and had so much fun through it all! I cant brag about them enough! Choosing DWP for our wedding photography was one of the VERY BEST decisions we made in planning! These guys are awesome!
I would describe myself as a very anal retentive, picky, and control-freak kind of bride. I want everything to be perfect for my wedding (what bride doesn't) so when picking a phot...
ographer I was extremely choosey because you have this pictures for life! I also wanted to find someone who was creative, artistic, and affordable. Detroit Wedding Photography met all of my high standards! We got high quality photos for a low price. Detroit Wedding Photography doesn't do the "typical" photos of the couple posing awkwardly in matching white sweaters. Their work looks straight out of the wedding issue of Vogue. Alvyn paid so much attention to detail with each photo he took. He would fix my hair if it was in my face, posed us according to which way the wind was blowing, and even would give (amazing) creative suggestions. You could tell he really cared that our pictures turned out great. We loved him so much, we even had drinks together! He showed us some pictures off of his camera, and I could not believe they weren't even edited yet! His shots were AMAZING and I will be recommending him to every bride in passing. Trust me and hire them for your engagement/wedding pictures, you won't be sorry! Make sure to check out their website to see their work and affordable prices:
