Marci Curtis - The Michigan Wedding Photojournalist

Marci has worked for our family on 6 different occasions now, 2 weddings, 3 senior pictures and 1 engagement photo shoot. Her talent and professionalism is stellar, and we enjoy how she interacts with her subjects to bring out their unique personalities and emotions. Getting ALL your pictures in high resolution clarity to own and print is a huge plus, but truly the best part of her work is how she manages to recognize and capture the special moments of her subjects and deliver them to you in short order after the shoot. 5 stars, highly recommend, exceptional!!!

We couldn't be happier with our good luck in hiring Marci to photograph our wedding. She's a terrific photographer, first of all, who knows how to capture spontaneous candid photos of guests having fun as well as the more formal posed photographs and the ceremony itself. She's got a great eye for a memorable pic and is willing to do whatever it takes to capture her shot, even if it means getting herself a little dirty. But you can probably see her skill for yourself if you check out her portfolio. What you won't be able to see is how great Marci is to work with in every other way. She's thoroughly professional, punctual, and quick to respond to any questions you might have in the weeks leading up to your event. She's also so knowledgeable about weddings that she can act in some ways as an unofficial wedding planner, reminding you (or informing you for the first time) of a dozen things you can do to make your event go more smoothly so that you're more free to enjoy yourself on the day. She had terrific advice for us, ranging from how to wrangle relatives for photos to how to choose the kind of makeup that looks best under the lights. And to top all of this off, she's delightfully friendly and easygoing. Just having Marci in your corner is going to allow you to enjoy yourself more and focus on the most important parts of the day. And at the end of it you're going to have lots of amazing pictures! We recommend her unreservedly and enthusiastically.

Such a pleasure to work with <3

We hired Marci Curtis for our engagement photos in May 2023 and then our wedding on 12/16/23. I'm not even sure where to start because she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is creative and talented; we couldn't be more pleased with how both our engagement and wedding photos turned out. She uses her photos to tell a story and doesn't do the staged or fake photos that have become so popular lately. Her photos evoke genuine emotion. When we look back at our photos now, she captured an actual moment in time that we can remember instead of some silly pose we were forced to do. She is an exceptional communicator and had so much information to offer for planning a wedding that wasn't even related to photography! Marci answers emails quickly and is extremely thorough. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and actually anticipate doing so when we can come up with another occasion we need to capture! Thank you Marci!

I can't say enough good things about Marci! My husband and I also hired her for our engagement shoot to get to know her before the wedding, totally recommend other couples do the same! She was so laid back and warm, but also professional and ready to work hard. Our photos are beyond gorgeous, worth every penny!

Amazing isn't a strong enough word for Marci! Not only was she professional and on time, she was fun and personable. More than that, she had great advice not just on the day of but the whole lead up to the wedding. She really knows her stuff! My favorite photos were the candids she got of our friends and family. AND she got us all of our photos in only a week! She is incredible! I hope to work with her again in the future and will recommend her to friends and family.

Marci was great to work with, and she provided a great level of service. From day one she was very responsive with her communications, which is greatly appreciated. Our engagement and wedding photos all turned out great!

Marci was absolutely amazing! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She was professional, on-time, relaxed, and just overall so kind! My husband and I got our photos back in record time, all 2,000 of them! A real 10/10 experience!!

Marci is incredible to work with and she gets incredible shots. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her! She’s so down to earth, can put you at ease, and has a lot of creative ideas. Not to mention… she’s so affordable, she delivers hundreds of pictures, and you don’t have to wait months for your pictures, either. Thank you so much, Marci, I literally couldn’t have gotten through that day without your presence!

From the first moment we met Marci, we knew we were in good hands. There was such a comfortableness felt immediately from her that makes you feel that you're in good hands. We had so much fun with our engagement photoshoot, we knew that our wedding photos would be equally amazing, and they were and then some! Thank you for sharing the moment with us and capturing everything perfectly! We really loved working together with Marci and can confidently say you won't regret hiring her for your special day as well!

Marci was easy to work with, on-time, organized and fun. Marci helped to keep the bride and groom on schedue, while finding beautiful places in the venue to capture pictures. Having a winter wedding in the Atrium of the Southfield Westin, Marci knew the lighting would change and made great use of that in the pictures. We were especially pleased with the many candid pictures of family and friends that Marci took. Marci really was personable and truly fun. Booking Marci was simple, she gave great advice as far as timing, makeup, "first look" etc., and her services were reasonably priced. We were very happy with Marci.

I have known Marci for years and once I was engaged, she was the first photographer I thought of to capture our wedding day and actually was the first vendor I booked once we had our wedding date. She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and brings so much more than just her photography skills to her assignments. She was prepared with last minute emergency items that helped make the day go smoothly. I had a vision of taking photos outside in the streets of downtown Detroit and she captured them beautifully! I am not always comfortable in front of a camera, but Marci really helps make the photography process relaxed and helped calm some nerves before the ceremony. Months after my wedding, I still obsess over all my wedding photos for hours because they turned out so beautifully. I would 110% recommend Marci Curtis to anyone for any occasion!

She was insanely helpful, like way more than I would have thought a photographer could be. She fixed my bustle a million times and when it finally broke she even had big ass safety pins that she used to pin it up for me another million times haha She came with a lot of helpful tips and tricks and suggestions making herself pretty necessary to have around in so many more ways than to just capture photos. She was very sweet and easy to be around for 8 hours of my wedding which is important because you end up spending more time with the photographer than you spend with the majority of your family and friends! The pictures came back super quick and they blew me away. She did an amazing job and I would hire her again in a second.

Marci took so many photos of my husband and I and my family. She was fantastic with everything! She was super flexible with rescheduling for Covid multiple time and then with the military. I am very grateful to have the memories of my grandmothers and more!

Marci Curtis is an incredibly talented photographer who captured the special moments of our Fall wedding perfectly. From the candid shots of our guests to the posed portraits of the bride and groom, every photo was stunning. Marci has an eye for detail and a knack for finding the perfect angle, which is evident in the final product. Her creativity shone through in the unique and beautiful shots she captured, which we will treasure for years to come. Marci's patience and direction made our photo sessions stress-free, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her for any photography needs. She is a joy to work with, responsive, always professional, and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Marci Curtis for any photography needs, she truly exceeded our expectations.

Marci PERFECTLY captured all of the love and fun of our New Year's Eve wedding. We don't love posing for photos so we were nervous, but Marci made the process fun and easy and made us feel so at ease. She was incredibly easy to work with, and insanely fast--she sent our 1,700 photos ONE WEEK after our wedding! I initially regretted not having a videographer, but Marci's photos totally made up for that. She captured all of the special moments and her photos truly tell the story of our perfect day. We cannot be more grateful to Marci for doing such an amazing job capturing the memories of our special day!

Marci captured the most magical moments from our special day, and was honestly a breath of fresh air! She was incredibly professional and flexible, and payed such close attention to the little details that can easily be missed. Through looking at her photos, we are able to go back and relive our wedding day over and over again. I honestly can't stop looking at them! She captured so much love and happiness from that day, and we are forever grateful! She is honestly the best of the best, and we can't say enough great things about her. Trust us, you will not be disappointed with her work!!

Marci is the ultimate professional and wedding photographer. She did our wedding on August 13, 2022 and we've already had amazing feedback from family/friends on our photos. She's calm, creative, and the exactly the person you need on your wedding day (or any other important event where high quality, beautiful photos are needed). We received our photos within 2 weeks of our special day, which was awesome. Everything ran smoothly and we really appreciated Marci's fun, calming, and professional approach. She keeps an "emergency kit" with a crochet hook or whatever that thing is called. It literally saved the day for getting the buttons on the back of my dress looped (I had like 20 small buttons). In closing, we are forever grateful to Marci for capturing our special day so beautifully and wanted to send a heartfelt thanks publicly. Marci for the win!

Wonderful experience and we love our photos!

Marci was the best photographer that we could have asked for! She is incredibly fun and very talented - she captured the night perfectly and beautifully. Not to mention, we had our photos back SO fast! Highly recommend Marci to anyone!

Marci was the best! We received fast and easy communication over email and she was extremely helpful and flexible during the event (she figured out how my dress worked when I was at a loss). Photos arrived promptly and were gorgeous--we have sooo many to choose from for prints and the like.

My daughter got married recently and Marci was the photographer for the engagement photos and the wedding pictures. I did not know a photographer could capture not only the beauty of the wedding, but the emotions and joy we all experienced. The photos are spectacular in every way. And Marci was so easy and fun to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

Marci is both incredibly talented and super fun to work with. She was always very responsive and professional, and overall was just a joy to work with. She has a true eye for her craft and that can sometimes be rare in the wedding business. Our pictures turned out AMAZING. She managed to capture US but like the very best versions of us. We also received our pictures super fast! We were still on our honeymoon when they came in. I have heard horror stories of other brides waiting months, or sometimes never getting them at all. Marci met every deadline she committed to, and we never had to pester her for anything. She also gets very big bonus points for successfully managing a group of slightly intoxicated groomsmen. 100% recommend Marci! :)

If you are thinking of hiring Marci... do it!!! She was so much fun and got TONS of great pics. There are so many good ones we cant choose which ones to order! She also got our pictures back to us very quickly after the wedding. She goes above and beyond to get the best shot, and is a blast to be around. My whole family/wedding parties loved her- would 100% recommend!

Marci was amazing to work with! She has obviously been doing this a long time and helps to guide you along the process. She has good communication prior to the day of, helps to make sure the family photos are captured quickly, and was a fun addition to our big day without having to worry about making sure the photographer was there to capture something. My guests commented how after a few minutes of seeing her work, they felt confident that she was getting good photos and could put their phones away and just enjoy the day. We love our wedding photos - especially all of the candid ones which capture the memories perfectly!

Marci is SO amazing! She photographed my sister’s wedding a few years ago, and we knew we needed her at our wedding, too! She is so much fun to work with, and knows so much about weddings in general, that she is not only an amazing photographer and artist, but also a fantastic resource! She took so many pictures and had so many amazing and creative ideas on the fly, as well as just being fun! After she packed up for the night, she joined us on the dance floor for a dance which was just so fun, too! We got our pictures less than a week after the wedding, which is an amazing turnaround, and they look wonderful! We also really liked that we own the photos, and can do whatever we want with them, just need to give Marci credit, which she totally deserves! We especially loved that we didn’t just get photos of us and our party, but she got at least a couple pictures (and good ones) of every single guest. Marci is an amazing photographer and person and we are so happy to have had her there for our special day! She truly captured the spirit of the day, and we will have so many wonderful memories that we can look back on with joy for years to come because of her talent! Thanks so much for helping make our wedding memorable, Marci!

Long before I even considered getting engaged, I knew that I wanted to have a wedding photographer with a photojournalist background shoot at my wedding—because they are experts with subjects with lots of movement. (Plus, constantly photographing the same two subjects in contrasting colors is TOUGH!) So because of my particular, non-negotiable requests, I didn’t have a lot of options, but Marci happened to be one of those options. From the first “hey, are you busy on this date?” message, Marci provided a lot of insight for me, which helped me further be comfortable with the decision to do business with her. As we got closer to the date, she provided even more insight about wedding days (beyond just snapping photos) that helped me be more organized. Of course she’d have this insight for being in the business for two decades! If you love long, detailed emails filled with advice for your wedding day, Marci is your person! Marci went even more above and beyond than one could imagine. On the day of our wedding, she was the only photographer, working with a videographer from another company, traveling to six different places (women/men’s separate getting ready areas, the church, the hall and two other personal locations) for pictures and stayed for nearly 10 hours—all while dealing with variety of dramatic, anxious and curious personalities of my very large family. The end result was almost 3,500 photos that made it so hard to narrow down to post on social (which is a lot considering that my husband and I are self-conscious about getting photographed)! And within the huge batch of photos, she made close to two dozen different backgrounds of our outside shots (versions requested by my mom) and added some spotlight glow behind my veil at the alter. In other words, MARCI IS AWESOME! Thank you again!

Marci was amazing, and so fun to work with! My husband and I hate getting photos taken, but she made it so easy with her casual, candid style. We had her do our engagement photos as a way to get to know her, and I highly recommend it, it makes things much more comfortable on the day of the wedding. She captured so many sweet moments of us, as well as our guests, and her attention to color, composition, and detail made for some really great photos. She knew how much I wanted autumn leaves in our pictures, but by November 21, there wasn't much left. With some homemade props and a little bit of color editing, she made it happen! She also has a super fast turnaround time, and you get ALL the images she takes. We will definitely use her for any future professional photography needs.

Marci was excellent to work with and her photos she took were amazing! She is excellent at communication prior to and at the wedding. She knew exactly where to be and got all of our important moments without being in the way. She also got our photos back to us unbelievably fast. It was a pleasure to have her as our wedding photographer and we highly recommend her!

Marci was so fabulous on our wedding day! Her sense of humor, expertise and the calm she exuded were such a huge help to both of us (she even had a crochet hook with her to help hook the buttons on my dress!). To be honest, when all was said and done, we felt that we got an insanely good deal for the amount (almost 2,000 proofs) and the outstanding quality of the pictures we got. We had countless comments from guests, family members and members of our wedding party specifically singling Marci out to say how amazing she was - these were people who have been to countless weddings and seen countless photographers, and they said Marci was truly outstanding. She has such a wonderful eye for millions of different shots in a small area and took such care to cement the memories of our day in gorgeous photos. We cannot recommend Marci enough!!

Marci was an absolute pro and we loved working with her from first call. She had a positive spirit and it was a constant throughout our entire day together. Not only was she a great photographer she was just a helpful person in general, helping my wife with her dress moving about, keeping a timer on her phone to help us manage a sunset shot, and even helping us give last minute directions to our bus driver. Marci is the type of personality you want to surround yourself with on what can be a very stressful day and she certainly helped keep things light and enjoyable. She eagerly took our suggestions and requests and captured everything we were looking for. Her turnaround time for final shots was shockingly quick. Highly recommended!

Marci was the best!!!!!! Not only was she so easy to work with and great personality, her work speaks for itself. She captures moments. When looking through our album we were laughing and crying reliving our perfect day. She went above and beyond and helped me with my day of timeline. Going through multiple drafts! Without her help, our wedding wouldn’t have been as flawless as it was! I wish I could get married again so we can get more wonderful pictures from Marci.

Marci was beyond what we hoped for in our photographer. She got some awesome and meaningful shots before the wedding and made our participation effortless. Three different times she was able to help with small hiccups during our big day. We have so many beautiful photos that it tells the entire story of our wedding. If you use Marci as your photographer I promise you will not me disappointed.

Marci was amazing!! She is extremely fun and friendly which makes you feel very comfortable so you don't look awkward in photos! She is creative and helps guide you through the flow of your day so you don't miss a beat and either does she! My photos are absolutely beautiful, even used the extreme weather conditions for some awesome pictures!

I highly recommend Marci Curtis for anyone who wants wedding photos that are not only gorgeous but also truly capture the atmosphere, character, and emotion of the day. Marci was able to capture so many small and special moments on camera that I am forever grateful to have. The posed group photos are beautiful and special too. Marci was extremely helpful creating a timeline beforehand, and day of she was extremely with little things, like bustling my dress! She was great with communication before the event and a pleasure to work with on the wedding day. Hiring Marci to photograph my wedding was 100% the right decision; the photos she took are an absolute treasure to me and my family.

Marci was absolutely wonderful to work with and at such a. great cost. From the day we locked her in as our wedding photographer, through the wedding day, as well as afterwards, she did not skip a beat. She was punctual and promptly communicated with us before our big day. On our wedding day, she took the time to scope out some great shots for our bridal party and family photos yet also made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy spending time with our guests. We received a sneak leak within 5 days and ALL of our photos within 3 weeks. What I appreciated most was how she kept photos natural with minimal editing. I highly recommend her to anyone.

My Husband and I are so happy that we chose to have Marci Curtis photograph our wedding and reception. She was so invested in every moment, paying attention to every little detail; so much so that she was able to explain what exactly was happening at the precise moments of the pictures she captured. We couldn’t be more grateful. Not only did she photograph the most beautiful pictures of us, she also captured moments of all our guest that we didn’t get to see. Marci is extremely professional, and timely as well. She literally was the best! Not only do we highly recommend her services, we will definitely be using her again in the near future! What I can say is that you will not be disappointed at all!

Supportive and insightful from start to finish, we are SO GLLAD we hired Marci! She was beyond professional in capturing everything we wanted, and experienced enough to know how to capture what we didn't even know we wanted. The photo album that she shared (SO MANY great photos that she turned around SO QUICKLY!) is a joy to look back on, and will continue to be for a lifetime. You will not regret hiring Marci, she is the absolute best!

I highly recommend Marci as a photographer for any occasion! She is easy to work and communicate with and delivers finished photos extremely fast, I had all my wedding photos less than three weeks after my wedding! Marci is a great photographer in all settings, but truly shines in capturing candid moments. She captured so many moments throughout my day that I didn't even think about or didn't know were happening, but they add so many colorful memories to my wedding album.

Marci was recommended by our venue highly and when we visited her website we decided that this would be the perfect fit. Covid happened but marci was accommodating every step of the way from our dates changing multiple times. Although she could not be there on our wedding day, her husband Rodney was an AMAZING 10/10 photographer that made everyone laugh & feel at ease. I cant wait to see all the photos cos from the previews he showed me for some of the shots they were absolutely perfect

Our wedding was the 1 of the best days of our lives (other than our daughters birth) but thankfully we have the photos Marci took for us to relive that day over and over! Marci was phenomenal to work with, even before the wedding. We did not know what we really wanted and I had a lot of questions for her before, and she was so knowledgeable and helpful. Then the day of the wedding she was so understanding and easy going! We got so many amazing pictures of not just us, but our daughter too! I just don't think I could say enough good things about Marci and her work, She is the best!!

Marci is an amazing photographer and we were so happy to work with her for our wedding. She brings so much upbeat and fun energy that even my now husband, who hates having his picture taken, had a great time at both our engagement photos and on our wedding day! Marci brings the perfect balance of posing us for photos, and allowing us to interact as we naturally do. This combination gave us some very funny and candid photos as well as some more traditional photos. She also got our wedding photos back to us in just over a week! I highly recommend Marci to anyone looking for a fun, friendly photographer that does great work!

Marci was very friendly and professional. Her photos are breathtakingly beautiful. She really captures the unique and irreplaceable moments. She also has different (very reasonable) prices that really catered to our style wedding

I couldn't be happier having Marci as our wedding photographer. From the very first message she was excited and eager to help, she was communicative the entire process which was a blessing during covid. She talked me through some precautions and what she has observed at previous events regarding having a safe and low risk wedding during the pandemic. Not only was Marci extremely professional but also so friendly and such a pleasure a work with. We laughed all throughout the day and she truly captured some special moments. I can't recommend Marci enough.

My husband and I do not feel as though we are photogenic and Marcy was able to capture some amazing photos of us and our friends and family on our wedding day. Thank you!

Marci is awesome! We got married in July 2020, which means that our wedding plans changed drastically from the original plan, and there was uncertainty for months about exactly what our wedding would look like or when it would be. Through it all, Marci was flexible, compassionate, understanding, kind, and comforting. We ended up getting married in my parents' backyard, and Marci was really nice about making the journey to their house, even though it was farther away than the original venue by an hour. We had only six "guests" at our wedding, and we weren't sure if it would be a bit awkward having a photographer there, since my husband and I are already pretty awkward. However, it wasn't awkward at all -- Marci was wonderful! She fit right in. She was light-hearted and professional, and she had a calm and positive presence throughout the day. Also, she had our photos ready only five days after our wedding! We ended up with countless amazing photos, and we were in awe of how many natural moments of joy and connection she captured. We had an excellent experience with Marci and would highly recommend her! She is pandemic-wedding approved, for sure. :)

Marci is a rockstar. With our wedding being during COVID, we have had multiple changes. Throughout everything, Marci stuck with us, was professional and provided great customer service. The pictures turned out beautiful and we have had several requests to share her information since posting them. 10/10 recommend - especially if you love great scenery pics for your special date.

Marci was very professional and easy to work with. She always responded immediately to my emails. She is very sweet and easygoing and was a pleasure to have around at the wedding. And the pictures were beautiful! We were really happy that we hired her for our wedding and would definitely recommend her.

Marci was a wonderful person with creative and lovely ideas for commemorating our most special wedding day. Her friendly and easy-going demeanor made it incredibly easy to get along and explore interesting photo ideas. We highly recommend her services!

Marci is nothing short of incredible. She truly “told a story” with our day. I frequently look through our pictures that she took from our wedding day just to relive it over again. You won’t even know she’s there. She just quietly captures EVERYTHING. She is professional, on time, and makes you feel totally at ease when it comes to your pictures. She’s been a part of so many weddings that she knows where to be and when to be there. She’s quick to adapt to any situation and makes you feel as though nothing else matters except for this day at this moment. She exceeds expectations. If you don’t want to worry about your pictures on your wedding day, Marci Curtis is the best photographer there is.

Marci did a fantastic job creatively capturing the essence of my daughter’s special day. I really appreciate her flexibility to pivot with a number of plan changes resulting from the health pandemic. Her professionalism, humor and artistic talents helped make stressful times become joyous memories we’ll be able to enjoy for years to come.

Marci isn't just wildly talented, she's friendly, organized, and incredibly kind! She even drove us down the road to our wedding venue when we decided to attend the cocktail hour at the last minute. We chose her specifically because we wanted great, candid photos. Even though we only spent a very short amount of time "posing," we ended up with almost a thousand great photos. So grateful for Marci!

I am simply obsessed with my wedding photos. Marci is amazing. She photographed my sister’s wedding and the images were absolutely perfect. I had no doubt in my mind when I hired her for our wedding at the Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, but she exceeded our expectations. She is very professional and extremely responsive. She gave us clear expectations for the wedding day and also welcomed all of my requests. I barely noticed that she was there during the wedding, but somehow have amazing photos of every single aspect of the day. She managed to capture perfect photos of me walking down the aisle as well as my husband watching me.. All while I had no idea she was there! She has a way of capturing every moment and telling a beautiful story- while keeping you looking flawless from every angle. To top it all off, we had all of our wedding photos less than a week after the wedding! I can’t say enough good things about Marci, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their wedding story documented in perfect detail.

Marci is amazing! Her shots are epic-fantastic-beautiful -all the things!- but you can easily find that out by looking at a sample of her work. : D To top it all off, she is a delight to have on your wedding day! My husband and I kept getting compliment after compliment about how wonderful our wedding photographer was - and this was before anyone had seen a single picture! XD Marci is the greatest! Definitely recommend!

Marci was so easy to work with and had many great ideas for creative photo opportunities. She answered all of our questions promptly and had great advice. I have already recommended her to others!
