Testimonials

We hired Jodi and Bryan as our wedding photographers this fall and they are worth every cent! They really went above and beyond for us. From prewedding meet-ups, to last minute schedule changes, they were everything we could have wanted and more! They even found us a park to take those intimate shots when our planned location was unavailable! They delivered our sneak peek shots the next day and our full gallery a week later. They are prompt, professional, and the photographs are stunning. If you're looking for a photographer in the Greater Metro Detroit area. Look no further. You have found them!

Jodi and Bryan truly outdid themselves with our engagement shoot. We are so absolutely astounded with the dedication, creativity, and talent they have. Not only did they bring great attitudes and made the shoot so much fun, but they also took stunning photos that we are OBSESSED with. I could not recommend them enough. If I could give them 6 stars, I would!

Amazing!! They don’t miss a beat and are on top of every detail.  Love the photos!  Thank you so much! I didn’t have to think about a thing you guys had it covered. 

Geri and Paul

A couple dressed in white, embracing and kissing on a wooden bridge over a pond, surrounded by tall green trees in a park setting during sunset.

They were easy to communicate with when expressing what I wanted for my photos. They were very professional with their set up and incorporating their own creative techniques. The photos will be forever cherished of a special time in our life. I highly recommend them.

Ash

Had the pleasure of working with "J" for years while in the photo biz myself. She has the eye to capture the best possible images. She was trusted enough to photograph my own daughter's wedding here at Milkhouse Meadows. "B" brings both technical savvy and creativeness that will make your images stand out. Their vision, timing, and ability to set up a shot brings out the best possible images. The proof is in the pictures!
