Kellie Saunders Photography

I can't recommend Kellie and her whole crew enough for a wedding. Jen D was our main photographer. At our engagement session, she truly cared about just having fun and being comfortable. We felt like we were best friends with her by the end of the day. On our wedding day, she exceeded all expectations! We not only had the best time with her, but she was able to put up with our pretty crazy bridal party and get the best shots. We also had the other Jen working our day and she was as sweet as can be! They were the PERFECT team. Throughout the planning process, Kellie was the best communicator and made it so stress-free. It amazes me how she edited and got our pictures back to us just 4 weeks after our wedding; we've heard it can take months! Each picture is better than the next. They are SO much better than we could have ever imagined. We can't thank the entire team at Kellie Saunders enough!!

We loved working with Kellie Saunders Photography. Courtney was absolutely amazing! Professional, kind, patience and a gentle leader. Best of all....we love our pictures!

Working with Kellie Saunders Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Our engagement photos were beautiful and Courtney gave great tips and instructions to help us feel less awkward and made the whole experience fun. And on the day of the wedding, Courtney and Jen were both so kind, helpful, and the photos turned out amazing - I smile every time I look through all the images! Every interaction with Kellie's team was filled with laughter and just the ease of working with people who know what they're doing (WE definitely didn't - I swear Kellie's timeline of events is the only thing that kept us on track throughout the day!). We are so grateful to Kellie, Courtney, and Jen for their hard work and can't recommend them enough :)

Kellie is the sweetest person to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable to be your true self in front of the camera. Our wedding photos made us tear up again and it’s like we relived the big day. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Kellie, Jen and Aaron just delivered the most beautiful wedding photos to our inbox! From the moment we met them, they treated us with a kindness and personalization that was unmatched. From our engagement pictures, to our wedding pictures, we have over 1500 gorgeous images that are going to be impossible to choose from for an album! On top of the gorgeous photos, Kellie was organized in helping us plan our timeline, stay on schedule with our to-do’s, and genuinely cared about capturing our day - how we wanted to remember it. Thank you to Kellie, Jen and Aaron for making our day so special!

Words can not describe what a pleasure it was to work with this company as our wedding photographers. We got the pleasure of getting to know Jen and Daighna and we couldn’t have had a better time with them. They know how to make sure everyone is having a great time and how to be very time efficient. We had a blast with them! Kellie is super awesome to work with and filling out forms and making payments was a breeze. Jen truly made our wedding day so special, I couldn’t have done it with out her guidance and knowledge.

When we had to reschedule our wedding, we decided to get to keep our date and have a small ceremony in our backyard in 2020 anyway. Kellie was so wonderful to work with in rescheduling and hammering out all of the details. Jen took our engagement photos and shot our wedding (with Courtney) and was just so much fun! At this year's event Jen and Courtney were back again and it was like hanging out with old friends. Besides being so easy to get along with (they even helped my introverted husband who hates having his photo taken come out of his shell) they are such pros. I hardly even noticed them at our wedding they were so good at getting the shot without getting in the way or being overly noticeable. They took so many gorgeous shots the first time around - we haven't gotten our photos back this time but I know they will be spectacular too. We joked that we should have another wedding in 2022 to hang out with them again!

Wow!! I truly could not recommend this vendor more highly. They went above and beyond in both our planning process and on our actual wedding day. Kellie was accommodating and flexible throughout the unknowns of the pandemic. We rescheduled our wedding twice and were able to move this team with us to each subsequent date, no ifs, ands, buts or need for additional deposit money. They provided a timeline which I was able to plan to rest of my day around. Because of how thorough they were, I didn’t feel the need to hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator. Jen was our wedding day photographer. Talk about a hype woman. Her personality is infectious and she made everyone in our wedding party feel relaxed and comfortable. She kept us on track with our timeline and was cool, calm and collected all day. I decided I wanted a few additional group shots in the moment and she was quick to accommodate and organize these. Again, the flexibility is something I was so grateful for as a bride. And of course the most important part.. the final product. Not only are our photos incredible, but we had our final album within 10 days of our wedding. The editing was exactly what we wanted and the variety of photos is broad. We truly couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Kellie and Jen for our wedding. We waited and waited for our dream wedding day, and these guys helped make sure it was absolutely worth the wait.

If I could give 6 stars I would! We had a prolonged 2.5 year relationship with Kellie, Jen, and team due to covid and could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish Jen and Kellie were timely with responses, incredibly flexible, and an absolute JOY to work with. Our favorite vendors from our wedding planning process, hands down! Highly recommend.

Where do I even begin with other than AMAZING. We worked with Kellie for our engagement photos in 2019 and it was incredible from the start. Kellie is super responsive to emails and questions and very professional. She made us feel like naturals in front of the camera and kept us laughing the whole time. Unfortunately due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding to August 2021 but the photos were worth the wait! Kellie was super flexible with making sure we were still able to have them for our wedding photography this year. We just got our photos back and WOW. We are speechless with how incredible the photos were. Kellie and Jen worked with us on our wedding day and made the flow of the day so easy and they were so helpful. They even calmed me down a few times when we had minor problems with other things. They truly make you feel like family!!! We are so grateful for the incredible experience. We would highly recommend them for your photos!

We worked with Jen and all I can say is WOW! We had such a good experience and are so happy with our pictures. Our wedding day was a crazy one, but Jen kept kept us smiling and laughing through it all. Kellie was by far our favorite vendor to work with and picking Jen was the best decision ever. My advice to everyone is to have a first look and second hire Jen as your wedding photographer! Kellie's team is amazing and you won't be disappointed!

I cannot say enough good things about Kellie and Courtney. Photos have always been important to me, so choosing a wedding photographer was a big deal. From the first time I saw one of Kellie’s pictures, I knew I wanted her team to be my photographers. That thought was cemented after the first time I talked to Kellie. She is so down to earth and funny, you can’t help but love her. Kellie took our engagement pictures in August 2019. Everyone that sees those pictures comments about how much we’re smiling in them and how comfortable we seem. That’s all Kellie - she kept us laughing the whole time. We were set to get married in June 2020 and when COVID hit, Kellie immediately reached out. She was so flexible and kind as we worked through figuring out what we wanted to do. When we decided to move forward with a small ceremony on our original date and push our “big wedding” to June 2021, Kellie made photography happen for us. For our small ceremony, we got to work with Courtney as she began transitioning to Kellie’s team. She was phenomenal. She captured the most breathtaking photos of us and paid attention to so many little details. Our immediate family were the only people in attendance and they all told us how great they thought Courtney was to work with. She was a calming presence, organized, and great at directing everyone. We have so many photos from that day on display in our home because of how great Courtney is. For our June 2021 wedding, we got to have both Courtney and Kellie. It honestly felt like the dream team. They were flexible, yet kept us on track with time so that we could get in all the photos I wanted (my shot list was 5 pages so it was a lot to cover!) While I haven’t seen the photos yet, I know they’ll be amazing. Booking Kellie Saunder’s Photography was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. You can’t go wrong working with this fabulous team.

I cannot say enough about Kellie and Courtney and the rest of their team! Before we even signed a contact with Kellie Saunders Photography, Courtney and Kellie took time to talk to me over the phone for a long time, answering all my questions and confirming that they would be able to meet our needs! They were so personable, caring, friendly and treated us like they had been working with us for years. Kellie and Courtney were so responsive, pretty much instantly with any emails I sent. Kellie & Courtney ( and the rest of the team at Kellie Saunder's) is just incrediable. On our wedding day, Courtney was amazing! She was so easy going, despite the fact that I was so anxious and super nervous. She caught every single moment I could have ever dreamed of. Our wedding pictures turned out absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend Kellie Saunders and her team for any photography needs that you have. You will NOT be disappointed!! Thank you again to Kellie, Courtney and team for making our day unforgettable!

Kellie absolutely captured the emotion and beauty of our special day. She made us feel comfortable, glamorous and loved. Kellie’s personality is incredibly outgoing, but she still made our day intimate. We can’t picture our special day without her!

Kellie and her team were absolutely amazing! They are all so incredibly talented and our photos turned out stunning! They also had a super quick turnaround with our previews coming in about a week after our wedding! Jen & Aaron were troopers and even followed us out in the rain to capture a few more stunning pictures! They were very organized, on top of everything and such a pleasure the day-of! We would 100% recommend Kellie & her team!

I cannot say enough about Kellie and how wonderful she is. She's incredibly fun, professional and accessible. Whether I had a simple question or needed a longer conversation, Kellie was accomodating. Kellie and Rachel (assistant photographer) did an amazing job working with everyone in our bridal party and family members, and truly kept everyone smiling, laughing and on schedule for our day. They were both so easy to work with and were flexible throughout the entire process. Most importantly, her photos are beautiful! If I could give them 6 out of 5 stars, I would. 100% recommend Kellie and her team.

I just want to share my experience with Kellie and how wonderful she was to work with. Right from the start she was so full of energy and creativity. She was warm and inviting and even my mom and grandma loved her (and they are hard to please)! We had both an engagement shoot with her and she photographed our wedding and both experiences were beyond what we anticipated. We had such a great time and the pictures are better than I ever thought possible. She took her time to make sure we were relaxed and she was able to get posed pictures that look like we are actually having fun and also candid style photos that we also love. She is a master at posing. I don't know how to explain it, but she posed us without us feeling that we were being posed. When she started working with us, we didn't feel awkward, but rather she explained to us what would work with our body types and why and then she gave us fun things to do so that the pictures came out looking so natural. We didn't look or feel stiff at all. We had fun and the whole process was easy. Leah was her second photographer on our wedding day and she was so happy all day long and made us laugh and feel so good. Leah and Kellie even got on the dance floor with everyone during the reception so they could get really get up close to get good dancing pictures of our guests. She was one of the best decisions we made and was have no regrets hiring her. We do regret not giving her enough time for pictures though. She didn't push a first look on us, but she did ask for a little more time during cocktail hour. We regret not being able to give that to her because we know we would have gotten even more photos. After the wedding pictures are all we have, so that's one thing we would tell everyone. That's not her fault though. The photos we got were amazing, we just wish we gave her more time so we could have more amazing pictures. Other than that we have absolutely no regrets hiring Kellie and highly recommend her to everyone!

Kellie is thee BEST photographer out there! Even our wedding guest had nice things to say about her! She is just so much fun to work with, so funny and professional. And she made us feel comfortable taking pictures which to us, was the most important thing. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and we are so grateful to kellie and her team for all the hard work. We 100% recommend Kellie!

One of the best wedding planning decisions we made was hiring Kellie! From initial meeting to engagement session to the wedding day, she was amazing to work with. We had Kellie and Jen for our September wedding and both were the best! A lot of time was spent with Jen and Kellie and it was like they were honorary wedding party members. Their work speaks for itself - amazing - but considering you have to spend a lot of time with your photographers on your wedding day, you want to make sure you like them as well and these two did not disappoint! Kellie was so insightful on helping us plan out our photo locations and worked with me the weeks prior to our wedding to plan everything down to the minute (which any organizational freak like myself can greatly appreciate). She is an awesome photographer and is so knowledgeable in all things weddings as well, so you get more than just a photographer when you book her. Thank you, Kellie and Jen, you are the best!

We had Jen and Aaron for the day and we LOVED, LOVED, LOVED these two! Jen is seriously my twin and when I’m back in Michigan or if she’s in Nashville, we’re grabbing a drink together – we had SO much fun with these two! You spend A LOT of time with your photographer(s), so even though how much you like them doesn’t always come as one of your top items on your checklists, it should be! Jen and Aaron not only helped capture moments from what will be one of the best days of our lives, but we had a blast doing it! Tons of laughs, smiles and fun! We had an intimate wedding of 46 people so we only needed them for a short time of 5 hours, but we managed to go to so many locations and snag all the photos we needed and wanted! We’ve only seen the sneak peeks but are supposed to get the full gallery this month and we know based off of what we’ve seen so far that they’ll be wonderful! Family portraits – the things you have to do but no one likes doing them. They were the dream team! Aaron shot the photos while Jen got us all in place and helped grab the kiddo’s attention by making them laugh and smile! We sped through those with ease! I truly was so sad when they had to leave since we had TRULY, the best day ever with them. The day flies by and hubby and I were so glad we were lucky enough to spend it with Jen and Aaron! You’re in great hands!

Kellie is absolutely amazing! Her great personality, organization, and skills help make my day perfect! She was my favorite vendor I booked. She asked all my million of questions, provided suggestions, and my pictures turned out absolutely beautiful!!!!

Kellie was absolutely wonderful to work with! We knew immediately after our initial meeting with Kellie that she was the perfect fit for us. She is fun and easy going and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. Kellie was always available to talk and although I know she works with tons of couples, she gave us her 100% attention when ever we needed her. Kellie does amazing work and are absolutely thrilled with how are pictures turned out!

We had met Kellie at a friend's wedding and working with her then was so much fun and her photos were incredible! When we were deciding on photographers for our own wedding it did not take us long to know she was the one. Every interaction was so relaxed, reassuring, professional, and fun. Her talent is paramount at capturing the real essence of people's emotions and personalities. Plus, she was great with our shy flower girl. DO NOT hesitate in hiring Kellie! She's the best hands down! I wish we could get married again just to have her as a photographer. She is genuine and kind, and truly is passionate about photography. Her staff was absolutely wonderful as well . We loved them both :) Will definitely be referring to everyone and anyone <3

Kellie was absolutely amazing to work with! From our very first time meeting with her over Skype, to our engagement photos, to creating a timeline for the wedding and the actual wedding itself, she was great at communicating, figuring out what we were looking for, and most importantly, having fun! She's so energetic and easy to work with that we never felt uncomfortable in front of the camera, even though neither of us had professional pictures done before. She's also great at taking control during the posed portraits at the wedding to assure that the bride and groom get the photos they want, and was able to politely keep camera happy relatives from getting in the way! Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous and we cannot wait to hang them in our home. Every time we look at them, we love them even more! Overall, Kellie is a fun and fantastic professional to work with who will provide you with wonderful photos that you will love for years to come! I recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who will not only capture their day, but help assure that it is truly special as well!

Kellie is a must have addition to your upcoming wedding. She was always available and the day of kept us on time, created so many special moments for us, and knew all of the AMAZING spots that belle isle and Detroit had to offer. During the wedding Kellie and her amazing team were like ghost! Didn't even know they were there and BAM all these amazing pictures so up. I can't thank kellie her second shooter aaron and their trainee enough for capturing our big day and adding so much positivity and fun to the day. In addition we got a sneak preview of our pictures quickly and all of our photos came back with very little wait time! Look no further and select Kellie Saunders!

Kellie was a pleasure to work with! From the moment I met her she has been very understanding and easy to work with. She had extra help the day of the wedding and it made all the difference. She worked well with our video guy and I cant wait to see the final pictures. She is the best! <3

Kellie is an amazingly talented wedding photographer! She has a wonderful lifestyle aesthetic with an eye for capturing those hidden moments. She is able to bring out the best in everyone and takes great care to ensure she captures all the shots on your list. In addition to Kellie’s talents, she enlists a skilled assistant to help capture your day. We had Nick and he was a joy to work with as well! We were referred to Kellie through a friend who’s wedding she shot and who had some of the most beautiful wedding pictures. I was a bit anxious as we lived in San Francisco, California and were getting married in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Our timeframe did not allow for us to meet Kellie prior to our wedding day. However, as soon as we did it was like we were old friends. She was able to understand our vision perfectly without ever meeting us. Kellie answered all of my questions throughout the processes and I trusted her knowing she would capture everything I asked for and more. She was a delight to work with, always positive and optimistic. Kellie takes on any challenge that might arise throughout the day and is able to problem solve quickly in the moment. I had a tight timeline and really wanted some shots on the water. As soon as the ceremony was over, Kellie had us on the water in 5 minutes and quickly captured beautiful shots of the entire wedding party. I never had to worry, Kellie was always on it. When we had nerves, Kellie was able to calm us down. One of my favorite pictures of us as a couple is a laugh we shared when Kellie asked Chris to whisper his favorite pizza toppings in my ear. Seriously, in that moment it totally worked! At the reception, she was out on the dance floor capturing some of the most fun candids I’ve ever seen. She even captured a gorgeous sunset with us! I’m so glad that I was fortunate enough to work with Kellie. I’ve recommended her to every single new bride I know! Kellie is an excellent choice for a photographer and will not let you down!

What a wonderful experience we had with Kellie as our wedding photographer! She provided a remarkable combination of fun, professionalism, comfort and creativity for my wife and I throughout our entire process with her. From the first day we spent in downtown Detroit shooting our engagement photos we knew we had made a great decision, and nothing thereafter ever caused us to question that choice. Her great communication from day one was truly a pleasure, and we could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. If you are searching for a wedding photographer who will work WITH you to capture your special day then look no further, Kellie is as good as it gets!

Choosing Kellie as our wedding photographer was one of the best choices my husband and I made for our wedding! She is absolutely fantastic and was since the first time we met her. She is made us feel comfortable every step of the way from our engagement to our reception. She is professional yet relaxed and has a fantastic sense of humor. We love our beautiful photos! We would recommend Kellie to everyone.

Kellie is fun, full of energy, and has an amazing eye to capture the perfect shot. We spoke on the phone and had such a rapport, we knew she would be perfect for recording all our forever moments. We completed lists for all the shots we needed to have and would like to have. She took all of our special requests into consideration, made recommendations, and made it work. She used the time she had perfectly, and we were able to enjoy ourselves and the day without feeling like we were constantly posing (after the formal shots were taken). We received photos that we never knew that she or her assistant Nick took, and that's exactly what we wanted. Kellie kept us laughing and smiling all day and throughout the night. After 6+ hours of shooting, we received over 800 gorgeous shots! She presented them electronically for download, and also on a flash drive. You will want Kellie as your photographer for your special day.

KELLIE IS THE BEST EVERRRR!! I just wanted to start with that. My husband and I live in Chicago, but we got married in our hometown (Milford, MI) and had our reception in Novi, MI. I was a ball of stress leading up to the wedding because I was taking the bar exam. I sent Kellie a million questions--mainly concerning the fact that I did not really want to take pictures in Milford. Even though we are both from there, our relationship doesn't have a very big connection to Milford. I wanted more of a city feel, but I knew it was a longshot based on where the wedding was. Kellie killed it when she suggested that we go to Detroit for our pictures. I haven't received them yet, but I know they are amazing. THANK YOU KELLIE!

We were so lucky to have Kellie as our photographer! I give her five stars all around. I've been in many weddings and have seen some really good and really bad photographers at work, and I can honestly say that Kellie is probably the best wedding photographer out there. I'm saying that because she not only captured us having fun and went with the flow of our crazy families, but she really took her time to make sure our portraits were beautiful. She didn't just say "stand there and smile". She interacted with us and our bridal party so when we laughed and smiled it was a real moment. Everyone loved her! She also really knows lighting and was able to give us a couple of shots when she set her lights up that just blew us away. They were magazine worthy. Unbelievable! She also got on the dance floor with us and our guests and captured the funniest and most awesome dance pictures I've ever seen. She didn't just sit on the sidelines, but interacted with our guests. I personally think she's one of the areas hidden treasures because she keeps her pricing so affordable for her style and level of expertise. You would be lucky to work with her - I know we were! Oh and she was so fast to respond to our emails and questions and even checked in with us along the way. We loved her and our photos are amazing!

Without a doubt Kellie is one of the best if not THE best wedding photographers out there. I'm probably going to go all over the place here, but I'll try to review the best I can. We met a TON of photographers before and even a couple after we met her. We were honestly so confused at the options and people out there. I felt overwhelmed and there's like a million wedding photographers out there. We are educated people, but not about photography. I felt rushed with everyone else we met with. Rushed as in "sold to". When we met her, it was just easy. She literally sat on the floor with us like a friend during our meeting and just got to know us. She didn't try to sell us on a high package. To be fair, she's not cheap, but if you shop around, her prices are really great for what you receive compared to others who aren't even half as good as she is. She was upfront about everything and there were no hidden costs. Anyway, we hired her and the husband and I were finishing up residency at the time. She was so flexible with our crazy schedules so we could get our engagement photos done. WE LOVED our time with her during the engagement photos and we LOVED the photos. We looked like we belonged in a magazine. I have no idea how she was able to do that, but she worked with us just a little bit on posing but not too much where it was over the top and annoying. Moreover, we had so much fun. She played games and had us interact with each other. We laughed together during our engagement session than we had in a long time. Our wedding day came and oh my goodness - first of all she was early. Her positive energy was infectious. I was nervous and I think she could sense that because as soon as she arrived to my hotel room the energy in the room changed. I don't know how she did it, but she made everyone relax and even my bridesmaids were cracking up having a good time. Her assistant was so talented and fun too. The wedding day went off without any problems. The weather, being a March wedding was kind of crappy, but we still were able to get such beautiful photos. She really knows her stuff. If you are considering her, I say go for it - if you can get her! You will not regret hiring her! You will love her, your family with love her and your friends will love her! Hiring her was the BEST decision.

What can I say, Kellie was everything we were looking for in a photographer and more! First of all, she is immensely talented and professional. She takes her work seriously and puts forth the effort to get you the most beautiful and exquisite photographs you can imagine! She is also incredibly hilarious and fun, and I can’t emphasize this enough-you need this on your wedding day! We worked with her for our engagement shoot months beforehand in December-which was seriously THE WORST weather Detroit could offer-and we still had a blast and got gorgeous photos! She was enthusiastic and made it happen since it was our only possible chance. Our wedding was just this past weekend, so I haven’t seen the photos yet but I know they will be amazing. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She moved through our portraits at the church with poise and organization-there was no yelling or barking orders or people running around. Our family all commented that it was by far the easiest and nicest photo session ever. She was creative and open to ideas including following us to our house after to take photos with our dog! I cannot wait to see those! Overall, I would highly, highly recommend Kellie, she will not disappoint!

Kellie is so much fun to work with, she is so passionate and positive it's contagious. The only thing that might be better than her personality is the quality of her work- Seriously you are going to love her photos. She gets to know you as a couple, what your style is ( whimsical, classic, romantic and so on) finds out what pictures are a must have etc. She was a such a trooper on our wedding day, working in the rain to make sure we had plenty of photos. She is super flexible and her second shooter was awesome!

By far, hiring Kellie was one of the best decisions we made! We are more than happy with everything she did for us. She went way above and beyond what we expected a photographer to do. She was worth every single penny and was great to work with. She kept us laughing and made us feel great the whole time she was taking our photos. Everyone loved her and everyone loves the photos. We had a holiday wedding and she worked really hard for us and did a great job! We got our photos back earlier than promised and we loved EVERY SINGLE ONE of them! We are working on the album now and she's making this process incredibly easy. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you Kellie!!!! We are so happy that we picked you! We want everyone to know how great you are.

STUNNING! STUNNING! STUNNING! If you have the chance to work with her - you MUST! I can't say enough about our great experience with Kellie was. This lady went above and beyond for us and NO other vendor (including our planner - who we did love really) did as much as Kellie and her assistant photographer did for us. First let me tell you she is a no nonsense kind of person. When we met her we never, not ONE time felt like she wanted to just make a buck from us. She even told us that we didn't need as much coverage as we thought and in the end it saved us money. She could have just signed us up for the largest package but she knew we didn't need it. Her albums are beautiful and even though I loved the most expensive one (my husband was not thrilled by how much wedding albums were), she knew we were on a budget so she showed us less expensive albums that were really nice too. She even told us how we could go about making our own book if we wanted to, but in the end we just bought the less expensive books that she has. We have it now and it's gorgeous! Okay so the wedding day. She was so much fun and energetic! She bounced around and we just loved her sense of humor and how comfortable we felt in front of the camera. She seriously posed my bridal party like a magazine photo shoot. The final image of the group is one of my favorites of all time! We look like movie stars! My husband loved her and the guys had a blast with the other photographer. She had snacks in her bag for us (she was right when she said we can get grumpy if we get hungry) - and that was a big help! I felt like she was intuitive with our needs. Like she knew I was getting irritated with my family before I even said something. She looked at me and asked if she could ask everyone to leave so she could work with us alone - and when everyone was gone she told me she knew we needed to be alone. We were like YES - we needed to be alone. How she knew that - well it was awesome! She also knew to make sure we had water and breaks while taking photos. All in all she kept us laughing and was so great to work with. She was true to our personalities and we feel that the photos are really "us". We aren't super romantic - just fun people. The photos are just that. Fun. She really just "got us". We couldn't recommend her enough! Like I said, if you have the chance - you need to work with her.

From the moment I spoke to Kellie for the first time, I knew she was the photographer for me. She put me at ease instantly and was so professional -- I never had to worry about a thing. She totally got my vision right out of the gate and she really delivered. I can't stress enough how important a photographer is - it's not one place to scrimp and Kellie is worth every penny. Leading up to the wedding, every interaction with Kellie was fun, energetic, calming and professional. She knows her stuff inside and out so I never had a worry. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant were wonderful! My bridal party loved her as much as we did. She really added to the day's festivities with her easy-going personality. And again, because she is so professional, I never had to worry about a thing. I worked with a wedding planner and she worked with her seamlessly. The end result are AMAZING photos that we LOVE. I wanted candid moments more than staged pics and she caught the most amazing laughs, cries, funny dance moves, tender moments and every moment in between. I can't recommend her enough. If she is available on your wedding date -- snatch her up. You won't be disappointed.

Kellie was the best choice I think I made other than of course saying yes to my husband. Kellie captured the love a beauty of the day unlike any any other photographer I've seen and I'm in the wedding business. Kellie even stepped in helping set up for the big day when the venue was crunched for time. She's an amazing artist and most of all an amazing person. She will not disappoint.

We hired Kellie for our sons wedding and are very happy with her work. My daughter in law requested candid shots in addition to posed pictures which worked out very well. Kellie is a very vibrant, fun person and an excellent photographer.

There are not words to describe how awesome our pictures turned out! We look like we should be on postcard! I had a destination wedding 3 1/2 hours away and Kellie made the trip (even though she was sick) and did an amazing job! The whole reason we went up north was for the fall colors (we got married in the middle of Oct. during the peak color time), but the night before my wedding, it was a blizzard outside. I was pretty devastated because I really wanted outdoor pictures with all of the vibrant fall colors, but with the heavy snow flakes falling, it wasn't looking good to me. Kellie completely eased my fears!!! She kept reassuring me that no matter what the weather was, we were going outside and would get awesome pictures. And holy moley did we ever!!! The night before the wedding she sat with me and showed me some of her work from other weddings that had snow or rain and all of the pictures were gorgeous. I don't think she even knew, but she really helped me sleep that night! Even though I woke up to 3 inches of snow the morning of my wedding, because of the talk we had, I knew that she was still going to be able to capture all of the wonderful and amazing moments throughout the day. The weather that day was bizarre! By the time we married, the snow had melted and the sun came out, but it didn't stay out. As we were taking pictures, a snow squall came through, so not only did Kellie capture us in sun with the vibrant colors, she also took pictures of us with snow falling all around as well. Kellie is super creative and talented. I have received so many compliments on my pictures! People keep asking how I will choose which ones to use for my photo album because they are all so gorgeous. What I love most, is that they aren't your typical wedding photos. They have more flare to them! She captured not only the surroundings, but our true emotions throughout the day. I can't thank her enough for giving me such a wonderful lasting memory!! When I first met Kellie, I told her that I hate having my picture taken, I'm not a selfie person and I'm squinter no matter how cloudy it is, so I usually hate every picture I take. She promised me that she would change my mind when she was done with me and she definitely did! Do yourself a favor and book her now!!!

Kellie is AMAZING!! She is very professional, friendly, fun and easy to work with. She truly helped to make our day special and captured all the moments. We have received so many compliments on our pictures from friends and family. We HIGHLY recommend her!

Kellie is an amazingly talented photographer. Not only that she genuinely cares for her clients. She gets to know them, their personalities and tailors her photos to reflect that in them. I have gotten SO many compliments on my engagement and wedding photos Kellie took for us. She is seriously amazing. On top of all of that she doesn't rip people off. A lot of wedding photographers will only give you some of your wedding photos and then try to charge you a ton for the rest. Kellie never did that. She was upfront, gave us all of our photos in a very timely manner and her prices are so cheap compared to how good she is. She is the best you will not be dissapointed

Kellie is an incredibly talented photographer who really just "got" us. We met with a lot of photographers, but when we met her I felt like she was just a friend. I never once felt like I was being sold to. She was always prompt with returning calls and emails and even made sure she was extra available on our wedding week. She checked in a couple of times and it just helped ease my nerves. She was just great to work with and the photos - well - they speak for themselves. I have to say that my wedding photos (sorry to my friends), but they are more beautiful than most of my friends wedding pictures. She even took us outside at night and took a wildly beautiful nighttime shot. My only regret is that we didn't give her enough time to take more photos. She warned us though when we went over the timeline. The venue pushed us for an early announcement and I really wish I would have taken her advice and given her an extra thirty minutes. I do feel that we got beautiful photos - I just know with more time we would have even more. We did purchase an album and that does take a little time. I think it took ours about two months to receive. But what a BEAUTIFUL album! It was worth the wait. As far as value goes - I think that everyone I was looking at was really expensive. Kellie was a little more expensive than some of the other photographers and a little less than others, but I don't think she was outrageous at all. I feel that some of the others were just so crazy expensive and there was no way I could afford them. I feel that we received great value for our money. I don't feel that she took advantage of us one bit. Her prices were what I would call middle of the road. At the end of the day I would highly recommend Kellie. She's so much fun, incredibly talented, friendly and I am more than happy with our photos.

We LOVED working with Kellie!! Our photos turned out amazing and she caught some great moments between my husband and I and between all of our guests. And she managed to fit my large extended family into one photo! Kellie did a great job of making us and our bridal party feel comfortable taking the photos as well, which made a big difference. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Kellie was absolutely AMAZING and our photos are INCREDIBLE!! We are so, so happy with not only our photos but our experience with Kellie. She has a great personality, was flexible, prepared, and a great listener. Kellie made sure to talk to us about what formal pictures we wanted so that nothing was missed. I didn't have a list of other photos I wanted, I trusted Kellie and was not disappointed. Every moment was captured perfectly! Also, I'm (the bride) not always comfortable in front of the camera or don't always know what to do, and Kellie helped me relax and got some raw emotion captured on our wedding day. Our pictures take us back and help us re-live the day, which is exactly what your wedding photos should do. Kellie also brought along a very talented and professional second shooter and appears to be very connected in the industry, so you should not be worried about this at all. We really can't put into words just how happy we are, we made the best decision by hiring Kellie. I should also note that my mom is a photographer and was blown away by the pictures and is so happy. All of our family and friends loved them. Thank you SO much for the beautiful pictures that we will enjoy the rest of our lives :)

Kellie was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our wedding. I can't express how much of an asset she was during the entire process. As a person, she is funny, kind, complimentary and showed the utmost professionalism. She was always accessible and made time for us. Living out of state, she helped us with other vendors and through her suggestions, we found our officiant and our DJ (who were both outstanding!) She prepared a great document to be completed so the day of was streamlined and organized. She took our wedding day photos as well as our engagement photos. Although we haven't seen the final product for our wedding day, the engagement pictures were AWESOME. Everything looks so good and she made us look like models! So many of her positioning suggestions were so crucial in making us look our best. She gave perfect guidance to ensure we had great pictures. I would highly recommend doing an engagement shoot so you can practice having your picture taken by a pro. It made us much more comfortable on our wedding day having rehearsed with Kellie previously. For our wedding day, she came prepared with great shooting locations downtown. Even though it was pretty cold, she kept us laughing and made it work for us. She had two different second shooters, Rebecca and Shannon, with whom working was great. I can't put into words how much fun we had working with Kellie and how pleased we are with her entire service. Again, booking Kellie was our BEST decision for our wedding!

By far she was my favorite vendor of all! Finding the right photographer was my number one priority and I'm so glad that we found Kellie. We travel a lot for work so we couldn't meet her face to face before the wedding but she was so flexible with our crazy schedules and skyped along with multiple phone calls until we all felt comfortable that this was a good fit. We were on a strict budget and she was able to put together a collection that fit our needs as well. On the actual wedding day she was the least of my worries. She actually arrived early and stayed late and was just such a wonderful vendor. She was helpful in ways not even related to her job. She had an emergency kit so when one of my bridesmaids needed a band-aid - she had it!!! As far as the actual photos go we could not be happier. She was so creative and energetic and was able to capture the best angles for everyone. I could tell that she really cared about what she was doing. When we finally saw the finished photos I was blown away. Even my mom, who is like the pickiest person on the planet, was happy! In short, her customer service was fantastic and the photos were stunning. She was a great choice and you can't go wrong with her.

We just got our wedding photos back from Kellie and all I can say is they are AMAZING! We are so happy that we picked her. She is really an artist. She's so down to earth and easy going, we knew she would fit right in with wedding. She really told the story of our day and even though she was challenged with timing as everything ran late she was able to get all of the photos we wanted and more. We had a Jewish ceremony and she is very familiar with the traditions so her team was perfect. The photos are so beyond beautiful and I will recommend her to all of my friends and family.

I am so so happy with our choice to have Kellie as our photographer! We haven't seen our wedding photos yet as it was just this past weekend but we had our engagement session with her and we were just so pleased with her service on the day of the wedding! Kellie is just such a fun person I knew I would love to have her around all day on our wedding and she is incredibly talented! She knows exactly how to pose people and use lighting to get incredible images and she has the funniest tricks to get people loosened up and laughing for awesome pictures. She worked with our rather tight timeline but did so without making us feel rushed-I just know we are going to have some amazing pictures to see soon! I would highly recommend her to anyone and I am so happy with our choice! Thank you so much Kellie!!

When I first looked through our wedding gallery this week I was in tears because the photos are more beautiful than I ever imagined they could be. She did an outstanding job. Even my husband loves them and he's so picky. She knows her stuff inside and out and was able to get some amazing night time shots that I don't think anyone else could have taken. They look like they could be in a magazine! Kellie made us feel comfortable from the first time we met her and on our wedding day she was absolutely perfect with our family and friends. She was pleasant, funny and so creative. She runs a very honest business and we felt that she had our best interest at heart when she recommended a package for us. We didn't over spend like others who wanted to sell us things we didn't need or want. We felt she was fair. At the end of the day I have wedding photos that I LOVE and we just love Kellie. We will recommend her to all of our friends!

Kellie was a pleasure to work with! From our engagement pictures (which were outside in -17 degree weather) to our wedding day.. she was a true professional. Kellie has a great personality and we felt totally comfortable with her (and so did our bridal party!). She always had great additional ideas that complimented mine as well (those always turned out to be the best photos too!). She was very prompt and ready to go right when we were ready! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our special day!

Kellie is easy to work with, fun, and makes each moment with her feel personal!

Kellie Saunders and her team are incredible! When my husband and I first met with Kellie we both knew instantly that we wanted her as our photographer. We received the best service and had a lot of fun at the same time. The day of our wedding Kellie spent time with my dog (did I mention he doesn't like most people) and photographed him all over the house in his tuxedo without a complaint (she understood how important that was to me)! She even boarded a yacht with us and took the most amazing photos as we sailed with our wedding party down the Detroit river to our reception at the Waterview Loft in Detroit, MI. Kellie's team captured the most perfect moments of our special day that my husband and I will cherish forever. Kellie and her team TRULY made our wedding day ! Kellie Saunders is the definition of quality and creativity. She is a class act and not to mention super FUN! Thank you again Kellie, Ed, Shannon and Aaron, we are so happy to have met you !!

Kellie Saunders is THE BEST! We honestly feel so lucky to have been able to work with her. From the moment we sent her an email to inquire about availability and prices, Kellie's service excellence shined through. Her communication was always super quick and exceptionally pleasant- it was like working with a friend. She truly listened to me and got to know me and my husband as people, not just as clients. Our engagement and wedding pictures were personalized, creative and fun-- but most of all, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I cannot recommend her enough!

I can't say enough of how talented Kellie is. She is hands down one of the BEST photographers in the metro Detroit area. Kellie did both our engagement session and wedding and ALL of our photos came out beautifully. Kellie's energy, attention to detail, personality and care for her brides and grooms is irreplaceable. If you are looking for someone who is professional, hard working, gifted and talented, she is the woman for the job. She will not disappoint.

I can't say enough good things about the job Kellie did. I am IN love with our wedding photos. We had a winter wedding so we knew that time would be limited for going outside since it's been so cold this year. Kellie promised us that she worked quickly and would make sure she we didn't freeze. I mean you know how cold it has been - so we really wanted to limit our time outside. I was amazed at the results. Not only did she work fast but the photos were so beautiful. I'm so glad that we went with her. She was the best decision we made and worth every penny. She is the kind of person that she really cares about doing a good job and she was the fastest vendor when it came to responding back to us.

I was so lucky that Kellie was able to photograph my wedding. When I met her, I just knew that it was meant to be! Her friendly, fun personality was exactly what I was looking for! Especially since you spend a good chunk of time with the photographer on your big day! She takes time to get to know you and your style, and she is open to your suggestions and ideas as well. She takes gorgeous photos!! The church that I got married at tends to be a bit dark, but she assured me that it wouldn't be a problem. And she was right!! I absolutely love my wedding pics! Thanks Kellie!!

I felt comfortable around Kellie within the first few minutes of meeting her. She listened to what my husband and I wanted out of our pictures, and delivered beautiful artistic shots and candid shots. Our wedding was large and energetic, and her personality fit in perfectly. Kellie was careful to fully understand our wishes prior to the wedding, and we were very pleased with her work.

Pictures speak a thousand words. And a million words we received. Wonderful service, and as a Bride, a thousand other things to worry about - Kellie was one detail I didn't worry about. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I felt like finding a great, but not ridiculously priced, wedding photographer was such an exhausting search that I almost gave up and settled for something I didn't love. Thankfully, before that happened, I actually stumbled upon Kellie through Facebook and almost didn't bother contacting her under the assumption (based on the quality of her pictures) that she would be out of my price range. SO glad I did anyway! We loved Kellie the second we met her, thought her pricing for what we received was extremely reasonable, and on our wedding day both her and her assistant were amazing. Her photos are so colorful and vivid and she did a fantastic job capturing special moments that I know my husband and I will cherish for years to come.

Kellie Saunders was just what my husband and I were looking for. She was so personable and real. She is a wonderful photographer and put both of us at ease right away. Neither one of us is really comfortable in from of the camera, but Kellie gave us great tips and truely helped us relax and enjoy the day!!

I am getting married next march, 2014 and Kellie has by far gone above and beyond my expectations, and she has not even shot my photos for my wedding yet. She truly cares about her clients and wants everyone bride and groom to look beautiful whether it is wedding photos or engagement photos and has the experience and knowledge to do it. We did our engagement photos with her a few months past and she rescheduled twice and planned on a shoot with a days notice so we could have the perfect light and weather for us. She has also helped me find other amazing and well respected vendors in the area for dj, video, lighting, etc. And these vendors even gave me a discount because I knew Kellie and because she was photographic my wedding. Kellie has been a joy to work with. My wedding is not for another 8 months and I fully trust and KNOW that Kellie will do an amazing job to make my wedding photos beautiful and make my fiance and i look amazing in them as well.

Kellie is such a talented photographer and you definitely get the most bang for your buck with her. We got married in the winter and photography was my number one priority but I was worried we wouldn't have great photos like you get in the spring/summer. She is very personable and also professional. We LOVED working with her. She is a great person to have around on your wedding day! Both our engagement photos (in summer) and our wedding photos are phenomenal. She definitely goes above and beyond for her clients-even coming to AA to have lunch with me and scout out good photo spots. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

I know very little about photographer, but I wanted a photographer who took vivid photos that could be classic and artistic. Major bonus, Kellie was also really fun to work with, with a friendly and helpful personality. The day of the wedding, she texted me to make sure I didn't need her to pick anything up on the way to the church. Such a sweetheart! More importantly, she is talented as well, and thanks to her, we have pictures to show our grandchildren so they'll know how good-looking we once were.
