We worked with Promani Weddings for photography and videography on our wedding day. Upon the initial call with Benjamin, we could tell we were in good hands. Everything was done so seamlessly and we had check-ins multiple times throughout the planning process. Our photographer Rayna was absolutely amazing! She was great with coordinating our timeline, identifying photo opportunities, and was very personable with everyone. Our videographer Austin was equally as amazing! He was able to capture all of our favorite ceremony and reception details throughout the day in our wedding video.
You can tell they have a passion for capturing authentic moments, and the photos speak for themselves. Our family and guests continued to comment throughout the day with how impressed they were by their professionalism, attentiveness and hard work. We are very pleased with how our wedding photos and video came out, and we cannot recommend Promani Weddings enough!
We did our engagement and wedding through Promani and it was one of our best decisions. The communication was fantastic and the quality was amazing. Our photographer and videographer - Nicole and Mike were both incredible and truly made our day something special. We received ao many complements on their professionalism and personalities the day of our wedding and even more so when the pictures came back!! Would 100% recommend.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Rayna and Austin were incredible! We had so much fun with them and hope they did too. I am reminding myself of delayed gratification daily as I await pics and our video. I’m sure they will be dreamy than our day🤍
Any questions?
We worked with Promani Weddings for our wedding photography. We spoke with Ben originally to set up the contract. He was very accessible and prompt to respond to our questions. Our photographer for the day was Malak. She was amazing! We love the photos from the day and are so grateful we will have these memories for years to come. Aside from gorgeous photos, she was also a lovely person and incredibly kind. She made sure we got each of the photos we wanted, was flexible when changing around the order of the shot list, and she had some great ideas for locations given it was a somewhat wet and overcast day from the rain. We are so very pleased – thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!
I booked with Promani in June and by July experienced the unthinkable devastation of having to cancel my wedding. I reached out to Benjamin to cancel and only after following up three times did he confirm my cancellation with an unempathetic “Yes you’re set.”
I reached out to Benjamin again to ask about the clause in his contract that states “If Client cancels completely the deposit is non-refundable but CAN be used as credit towards other photo/video services (birthday parties, family photos etc.)” Benjamin informed me that Promani, in fact, does NOT offer these services, though they are explicitly listed in the contract. I then asked him if we could come up with some sort of compromise given this is not what is in the contract. Benjamin refused to take a fair and ethical approach, keeping my full $1,750 deposit while denying me the alternative options agreed upon in the contract.
I can’t speak to whether there is other false information in Promani’s contract, but I hope you are not the one to find out. Please hire someone who cares about you and your wedding experience, not just your money.
Promani media was a great choice for us. They made our big day go seamlessly. Rayna was like working with a best friend and Austin disappeared into the background. We forgot he was around, which makes us anxious to see the videos he makes for us and what footage he caught! We are grateful to have found this company and the deal we got from booking both services together is an incredible deal. For as much as we spent on this day, the groom was most satisfied with this agreement.
Shurhat (photo) and Carter (video) were wonderful the whole process! They both talked with us multiple times before our wedding day, and were responsive to our requests from getting ready all throughout the evening. The final products were also so beautiful and I can't wait to print them out. Thank you both!
"Magical Moments Captured: Our Unforgettable Experience with Ben and Brianna from Promani Weddings"
Review for Promani Weddings: Ben and Brianna
We are absolutely over the moon with the experience we had with Ben from Promani Weddings! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in great hands. Ben's professionalism and passion for his craft were evident, and he took the time to truly understand our vision for our wedding day. He was not just our photographer; he became a guiding presence, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly.
On our wedding day, Ben was a calming force amidst the excitement. His ability to blend into the background while capturing genuine moments was nothing short of magical. Ben has an extraordinary talent for capturing amazing and enchanting shots that make every moment feel like a work of art. The way he framed each picture, from the grand scenes to the intimate details, resulted in stunning, candid shots that perfectly encapsulated the joy and love of our celebration. The little details—the laughter, the tears, and the spontaneous dance moves—were immortalized in ways we never expected.
A special shoutout to Brianna, the incredible content creator who accompanied Ben on our big day! Her artistic eye and quick thinking led to some truly unforgettable moments being captured on video. Together, Ben and Brianna made a fantastic team, complementing each other’s skills beautifully. The highlight reel they put together has left us speechless; it perfectly encapsulates the emotion and vibrancy of our wedding day.
We cannot recommend Promani Weddings enough! If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who are not only incredibly talented but also genuinely invested in your happiness, look no further than Ben and Brianna. Thank you both for making our wedding day an extraordinary experience that we will cherish forever!
John did a great job keeping our day rolling, giving directions, and overall had a great time with our crew! We got our photos back faster than they quoted us and they are stunning!
Promani Weddings was so amazing to work with for our wedding. They took our engagement photos and our wedding photos as well as our wedding video! Ben was in constant contact with us throughout our engagement leading up to our wedding and the team he provided us were absolutely amazing to work with! Austin and Malek made us feel so comfortable the day of the wedding. Overall- the entire team was outstanding and the turnaround time on the photos is unbelievable! We had our wedding photos back in 2 weeks and they looked perfect! I highly recommend them for your wedding photography and videography!
Could not be happier that we chose to work with Promani Weddings for our wedding in September! We just got our pictures back and we are in awe of how amazing they are! Will be recommending to everyone that we know! Shuhrat and Austin are the BEST
Was BLOWN AWAY with every aspect of Promani! The photographer and videographer blended right in. Benjamin was helpful and communicative the entire way. 10/10 so thankful for them capturing our wedding day!
Promani Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was beautiful, with a light and romantic style that perfectly captured the emotion of our special day. Despite many moving pieces, the Promani team was able to seamlessly roll with the whole day, ensuring we had stunning photos to remember it by. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend Promani Weddings to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.
Alexandria was our photographer, and Austin was our videographer. They were both energetic and fun. Alex was super helpful and knowledgeable about the timeline we made, and made sure I always knew if we were ahead or behind. The pictures turned out beautifully. The cost was very reasonable to have both photo and video in a bundle. I would suggest Promani for weddings to come. We were highly satisfied!
We had a wonderful experience with Promani capturing our photos and video on our wedding day. The team was professional and easy to work with, overall would recommend!
Working with Promani Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and Lola and Nathan were the dream team that made it all come to life. Their expertise and creativity truly captured the magic of our day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!
Lola, our photographer, was an absolute joy to work with. Her ability to capture candid moments as well as beautiful posed shots was incredible. She has an eye for detail and a knack for making everyone feel at ease, which resulted in a stunning collection of photos that perfectly reflect the emotion and beauty of our wedding day. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. We so appreciated her help in developing our wedding time-line, and her flexibility and leadership when it needed to be altered.
Nathan, our videographer, was equally fantastic. His skill in creating a cinematic experience was remarkable. He captured all the important moments, and was so much fun to work with throughout the day.
Together, Lola and Nathan from Promani Weddings provided a seamless and memorable experience. Their talent, professionalism, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process, and we are thrilled with the final results. If you’re looking for a photo and video team that delivers exceptional work with a personal touch, Promani Weddings is the perfect choice. Thank you, Lola and Nathan, for preserving our special day in such an extraordinary way!
We enjoyed working with Promani Media for our wedding. We hired our photographer (Lola) and our videographer (Austin) through them. Lola was amazing! The pictures turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier. Austin was also incredible and took such amazing videos! Benjamin and the whole team were very professional and kind and very easy to communicate and work with. We would highly recommend them!
Shuhrat and Ben are an exceptional wedding photographer and videographer who brilliantly captured the essence and emotion of our special day. Their keen eye for detail and artistic approach resulted in stunning, timeless photos and videos that we will cherish forever. They are professional, friendly, and seamlessly blend into the background, ensuring that every important moment was beautifully documented. Their ability to create a relaxed atmosphere allows for natural and candid shots, making them a top choice for anyone looking capture their wedding memories in the most beautiful way.
Thank you Promani!
The Herreras
Pictures turned out beautiful and working with Alexandria was great! Highly recommend :)
Incredible experience!!!
I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible.
-Personable and Friendly Approach
One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs.
-Unique Candid Photography Technique
What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT!
-Superb Communication and Understanding
Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our
-Execution of Vision
On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry.
I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.
My husband and I had an excellent experience with Promani Weddings. We used their photography services. Benjamin was able to change our date and location last minute due to a change in plans. Our photos turned out great and all of our family and friends are raving about the quality.
We were so lucky to have Shuhrat Choudhury as our wedding photographer! Our pictures turned out amazing. My wife and I are still in awe of the photos. Shuhrat went above and beyond. She researched our venue beforehand to get some ideas for photos and responded to our questions right away. She was very personable, kind, and funny. Communication was exceptional. 10/10 would recommend.
Couldn't be happier with Promani. Our photographer (Rayna) and videographer (Austin) were phenomenal. Great communication from the whole team leading up to the event. Professional and excellent. Highly recommend.
Shuhrat was a pleasure to work with. Very personal, communicative and her photos were wonderful!
Promani Weddings with Lola from Lola Marie Photography were absolutely perfect! My husband and I are not photogenic people but Benjamin and Lola ensured we were comfortable enough to get some really remarkable photos! I shared some ideas and they ran with it! Truly an amazing day and now I have beautiful photos to remember it by! I found Promani from theknot and was hesitant because it’s scary hiring a stranger to do such a big job for the day to dream of all your life, but I am sooo glad I went with them! Highly recommend!
Ben and the Promani team are very kind and reliable. After running into photographers who demanded over an hour for photos between ceremony and reception, and photographers who wanted to take the groom and I out for drinks and endless meetings prior to the wedding, I was very relieved to find Promani. They made the process very easy.
When I began my hunt for vendors for my 2/17/24 wedding, I stumbled upon Promani. Planning a wedding is, obviously, stressful, but Promani made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. Austin, our videographer, was so lovely. He was high energy, kind, and so transparent about what the experience would look like. He checked, double checked, and triple checked that we were on the same page the entire experience. Lola, our photographer, was just as incredible! She seamless grabbed shot after shot, getting right in the middle of the action, magically never drawing too much attention to her presence. The cherry on top was the stunning media delivered only 3 weeks after the big day. If you go with Promani, you certainly won’t regret it.
This was one of the best vendors i worked with and absolutely love the photos and video I received of our big day! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to work so closely with them and have them be a part of our big day and capturing it! I couldn’t recommend them more if you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer!
WOW! We truly cannot thank Ben and the whole Promani team for capturing our wedding day from start to finish. We can't stop looking back on our day. The entire process of booking both our photographer and videographer was seamless, fun, and so memorable because of Ben and his attention to detail and making sure everything is easy, especially for the bride or wedding planner. The package deal of video and pictures is something you don’t want to pass up on. It’s one of the best decisions we made. Our pictures & video are better than what we ever anticipated. The video is something we can’t stop watching and find new & special moments every time we watch it. Our wedding was over the 2023 Christmas holiday, yet Ben delivered our photos and video less than 30 days after our wedding day. Watching our video and looking through our pictures on our month anniversary was such a special moment. We were blown away with his attention to detail and capturing the day in every way we envisioned it, but even better. We couldn’t wait for our wedding day knowing we had Ben & his talented team alongside us. We had a huge group too and they handled us like champs. We highly suggest Promani Weddings for your wedding day or special event! Thank you will never be enough! ❤️❤️
We had PROMANI WEDDINGS for our photographer and videographer on our NYE weddings. They did a fantastic job getting all the perfect shots following us around. The photos all turned out great even though we ran out of daylight! I didn’t know what to expect for a video but when we got the video back I was blown away at how good it was! They captured all the best moments of the perfect night!
I had another photographer booked months in advance and they ended up scamming me, so I went back to looking and found these guys and I was not disappointed, they were still available for my date needed did my engagement photos and than two months later my wedding! I just got my photos back and I love them and the video. Ali is so good at making you feel comfortable too with pictures because this was my first ever shot and I would 100% recommend her. If weddings weren't a one time thing I'd hire them again. <3
We initially hired Tolman Media for wedding photo/video and before our event, the company dissolved and became Promani. We ended up going a different route with our photography but kept Promani on for video. Benjamin ensured an uninterrupted experience for us and was professional and highly responsive. Our videographer Carter was awesome and fun to be around on our wedding day. Our final product was a short highlight video and all of the raw footage from the day. We'll cherish this video content forever.
We hired Benjamin for engagement photos, wedding photos, and our ceremony video. He absolutely went above and beyond our expectations with all his work. When searching for a wedding photographer, we really wanted someone who was familiar with our venue (Castle Farms), had a stunning gallery, and was easy to talk to. We initially considered Promani Weddings based on the online portfolio, but the first phone meeting had us sold. Benjamin is so genuine and easy to work with and makes sure you feel comfortable! We had never had professional photos taken before, but he made us look like naturals. I would definitely recommend an engagement shoot to help practice in front of the camera for the big day and to have another set of amazing photos to cherish. On the wedding day, it felt like seeing a friend again and was such a natural experience. Benjamin kept everything on track and moving along which was truly a blessing to not have to worry about while trying to enjoy your day. Communication before and after the sessions was great and he is always there to answer any questions you may have. From travelling all over the state for us, to grabbing us drinks to calm the nerves before the reception entrance, to capturing timeless photos and videos, Benjamin truly had our backs throughout the whole engagement and wedding experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Promani Weddings to anyone looking for a wedding photographer/videographer!
Response from the Vendor on 12/02/2023
Morgan! Thank you so much. You guys we're so amazing to work with start to finish, and I really look forward to seeing what the future holds for you and Austin!
Absolutely loved Benjamin and his work! He has such a welcoming demeanor that makes you feel comfortable with being behind the camera (if it’s not your thing). We booked him for videography/photography and we are in love with our wedding album! He also was more than willing to do my bridal portraits a few months before the big day, and they turned out beautifully. This is your vendor you are looking for!
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2023
Thank you so much Makayla! You were so amazing to work with and I loved celebrating your marriage with you and Aaron!
Holy hell, this was WELL WORTH the wait! Thank you for capturing our big day so perfectly, so many little details that we missed in the moment that we can finally appreciate 🥺 from the boom of our hearts, THANK YOU to you and your team for playing such a HUGE part of our big day! I can’t wait to blast this all over social media.
My husband’s aunt passed away a few weeks ago, and Benjamin was able to pull a sneak peek together for us just in time. Her face lit up when we were able to provide that clip to her. It meant the world to bring a part of our special day to her even though she couldn’t be there ❤️
Again, thank you for everything - August 5th was so beyond perfect.
Ben, Alex my photographer, and Carter my videographer, were wonderful to work with. They were always quick to respond even on short notice. They were personable, fun, and delivered beautiful pics and vids. Highly recommend.
Editing my review of Promani Weddings as it was originally 5 stars because they hold your photos over your head unless you give them a 5 star review. Overall just not that impressed with the photos or the video we paid for. We would've loved to get our unedited photos as well but they wanted an additional $750 for them and we mainly asked for candids from our wedding but didn't get that at all. The photographer and videographer were friendly but overall didn't feel like it was tailored to what we wanted more so they had a list of photos to take then once they got those they were out. And another thing not mentioned or at least I don't remember mentioning it is you have to pay them for their travel as well. Our photographer was very reasonable for her travel fee but our videographer was like double the price for whatever reason. We had a friend take our photos for our ceremony the day before and we felt those turned out much better than our "professional" photos/videos. Overall not the best experience and would recommend using someone else. Our original photographer we booked accidentally double booked so we were left scrambling and used promani.
Response from the Vendor on 06/19/2024
I am sorry that you were not happy with your service, but the least you could do is be honest, instead of lie. None of these issues were even communicated.
Firstly, we never hold photo's over anyone's head. We offer to mail free USB drives to c...
ouples that leave us a review. Your online gallery is always accessible.
Per the contract, we *Never* give out raw photos. It's spelled out in the contract clear as day. Recently, we have begun offer couples all of their raw photos as an optional purchase before we purge our hard drives at the end of each season. To call that " holding it over your head" is just dishearteningly absurd and dishonest of you.
Your travel fee is laid out plain as day in the contract. The travel fee is based off of location per team member, so when one team member is further from you than the other, the travel fee is more.
I've reviewed your gallery many times and they look wonderful. Not once have you expressed an issue, and now to write all of this out of nowhere really says a lot about your character.
For those curious, this is their gallery - https://promani-weddings.client-gallery.com/gallery/austin-and-eliza
Tons of great candid's, well composed and overall great photo's throughout.
I can’t believe how beautiful my wedding pictures are!! They are more than I could have ever hoped for. Promani has great communication and they truly cared about my unique style and personality. I highly recommend this company!!
We had Allison for our photographer and she was amazing! She was so reliable and we always had a great time with her quirky personality that fit right in with ours. We would definitely recommend Promani Weddings!!
Jasmyne and Ryan Radtke
Everything was just amazing.The team were so helpful and so polite.They did an amazing job and I would like to thank them for making our wedding so special.Thank you all. Kelly + Tacos
Our photos and video came out better than we could have ever hoped. I researched media companies for months trying to find the right one for us that was also within our budget and Promani delivered ten-fold! Carter and Shuhrat did an amazing job with the video and photos, respectively. They were both so kind and all about wanting to capture everything on our list, oftentimes reminding me of my own requests as I kept forgetting in the moment. Our vision was made possible and our guests are gushing over the results. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
Benjamin was great with communication, showed up on time and was extremely attentive to detail.
Even almost a year later I still look at my wedding video and it just brings back so many amazing memories and little details that my husband and I enjoy. Photo and video were one of my more important details and Benjamin captured exactly what I was looking for
Ali (our photographer) and Nathan (our videographer) were fantastic and felt like guests at the wedding. At no point did anything feel forced or awkward and even when we were looking through our photos we said "I didn't even realize she was there to capture this moment!". They fit right in and captured great moments. I couldn't be happier with the team and I highly recommend them to anyone
STUNNING photos!! Not only we’re the pictures amazing, but the day of our wedding, Ben and Alexandra were so sweet and totally made my vision come to life! They made me feel so comfortable and we had a fun time throughout ever shot. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!
Promani Media was amazing to work with! The whole team consisted of amazing people and were organized, professional, and very helpful in the planning process. Our photos turned out beautiful too!
Our experience with Promani was incredible. Arie was so easy to work with, so fun to talk to, and captured all the special moments of our wedding day. The final photos are such an incredible reminder of our day. The final album also came back super fast. Thank you!
Looking for a photographer for our wedding was not easy but after our first conversation with Benjamin we were convinced that Promani was the one. We were definitely not disappointed. The video was beautiful and the videographer, Carter, was awesome and followed all the notes that we had given him and the photos, by Lola, were absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Benjamin (owner), Lola, and Carter were super friendly and easy to work with that it was easy trusting them to capture the best day of our lives. We would recommend and trust Promani 1000%.
We LOVE our pictures! Promani Media chose the perfect photographer for what we were looking for and she nailed my vision. They even delivered them in less than a month after our wedding. We can’t wait to see our video. Todd and Arie were wonderful to work with and we still get comments from our guests about how fun they were!
Extremely happy with our wedding video. Carted did an amazing job, was very personable and easy going. Promani was excellent with communicating and making sure they had all the details prior to our big day.
Thank you!
We had an unbelievable experience with Ben. He made us feel comfortable from the start and had so many ideas to capture the most perfect moments. He was so accommodating of us and our schedule and captured our day better than we could have ever imagined! We can’t recommend Promani Weddings enough.
BOOK! BOOK! BOOK! I am absolutely over-the-moon with the way my video and photos turned out! I actually booked with the company Tolman Media that randomly closed three months before my wedding. I am SO THANKFUL that Benjamin (owner of Promani) bought the MI team/business and everything stayed the same (package, photographer, videographer)! Benjamin was SO kind, answered all of my questions, and reassured me during the transition as I was a freaking out bride LOL! I was able to speak with my photographer and videographer early on, and they always answered my questions. The day of my wedding, the team was very professional and captured everything I wanted. The turn around time on my video was like two weeks, which is incredible! My pictures came about a week after that. Again, I am so thankful that I chose Promani to capture my special day!
Ben and shuhrat were lovely to work with, they captured our wedding beautifully!
I found Benjamin when he took over the Michigan photography branch from the now-closed media company Tolman Media. His customer service was excellent, responding quickly and answering my questions. He was easygoing and friendly, and directed my husband and I on how to pose for portraits (something we really appreciated!). We loved the final results as well.
Promani Weddings did a fantastic job for our wedding photography and videography. Benjamin, Lola and the Promani team considered all the points that were important to us. The Promani team is very professional and our wedding teaser, photos, and videos turned out great! We recommend Promani Weddings for your wedding photography and videography.
We're so happy that we chose Promani Weddings for our wedding day! Benjamin and Nathan were so great to work with. They were super professional, truly listened to what we wanted for the day, blended in with our small ceremony, and we all had fun with our one on one photos. Communication was always clear and timely. The photos and video turned out amazing and we got them back in a couple weeks. We and everyone we show the photos and video to agrees they did a perfect job on capturing the day and the true feelings around it.
Promani Weddings did an amazing job capturing our wedding. The photos are absolutely stunning and the photographers, Erika and Arie, were so kind and talented. They stood out in the rain for a large portion of the day taking photos and making sure we got all the shots we wanted. I would absolutely recommend their services for your wedding or other special event. Also the pictures came back very quickly- within 2-3 weeks and we received 900 photos. 10/10 experience!!
We had the most amazing experience with Promani Wedding for our engagement session & our wedding day photography. We have absolutely stunning photos to cherish for a lifetime & can’t imagine anyone else doing a better job than Benjamin. Friends & family have been commenting on our photos & the comments on how beautiful the pictures are seem to be never ending. The attention to detail, patience & professionalism goes such a long way. I would absolutely book again & recommend over & over again!

- Benjamin HolthausOwnerI feel like I should tell you that I have a signature experience that everyone gets. But to be honest, I tailor my experience to each and every couple I have the pleasure of working with. I care about what you care about. So while, yes, everyone gets the same talent and royal treatment from me, you’ll get something uniquely you because I think that’s what you deserve.
- Sophie FabyanPhotographerHey there! My name is Sophie Fabyan, I'm a recent MSU graduate and I have been shooting for about 2.5 years. I am a passionate visual storyteller who has been lucky enough to learn from some of the best photographers in the country during my time at Michigan State. I studied photojournalism while there and it reinforced my love for photography and helped me find my 'why', and that is that I'm fascinated by the human experience and I want my photos to reflect what your life and love feel like. I'm a hopeless romantic goofball who loves babies and Gilmore Girls and I'm so honored to be a part of such a special time in your lives!
