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 us, at no point was I EVER worried about this investment.
Star...ting 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)!!
