Michigan wedding photographer blending documentary storytelling with elegant, editorial, true-to-life imagery.
Capturing the moments you’ll cherish forever.
I believe the most meaningful photographs happen when you feel relaxed, present, and fully immersed in your wedding day. My goal is to create an effortless experience so you can celebrate freely while every meaningful moment is documented with care.
As an award-winning wedding photographer who has captured over 200 weddings since 2010, I guide when needed while allowing authentic moments to unfold naturally—creating imagery that feels genuine, emotional, and timeless.
Based in Metro Detroit, I photograph weddings throughout Michigan and beyond, blending editorial direction with natural storytelling to create photographs couples will treasure for generations.
Investing in Your Wedding Memories
Your wedding photographs are one of the few things that grow more meaningful with time—preserving the emotions, connections, and memories you’ll want to revisit for the rest of your life.
Most couples invest around $4,000 for full-day wedding photography coverage. Each collection is thoughtfully designed to provide a seamless, elevated experience while reflecting the unique story of your celebration.

“We are so grateful we found Lola Marie Photography for our wedding. Lola is not just a photographer she's an artist who has a talent for capturing the right perspective in the moment. Throughout the planning process, Lola was incredibly communicative and collaborative. She heard our asks and offered creative suggestions. What we love most about our photos is how authentic they feel. Lola captured the laughter, the tears, the stolen glances, and all those fleeting moments that made our day so special. Looking through our album, we feel exactly what we felt on our wedding day all over again. Lola's talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients shine through in every single shot. We recommend her if you want the best results.”

“An Absolutely Incredible Experience with Lola! Choosing Lola as our wedding photographer was the best decision for our special day. She delivered stunning photographs and an incredibly smooth, stress-free experience. Lola consistently took initiative, which was a huge relief. She proactively located us (the bride and groom) throughout the ceremony and reception, planning her shots around our movements. This allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration, trusting Lola to expertly document every detail. The photographs themselves are simply breathtaking. Lola's mastery of lighting and editing is exceptional; each image is perfectly lit, vibrant, and crisp, making us look our absolute best. Finally, the ease of access to our photos was fantastic. We received a link to a user-friendly online gallery, allowing us to easily download high-resolution copies of every single photo. We wholeheartedly recommend Lola for her talent, professionalism, and truly stunning results. Thank you, Lola, for perfectly capturing the magic of our wedding day!”

“Where do we begin!? We cannot thank Lola enough for capturing our wedding day from start to finish. Lola’s engagement photo shoot with us was just magical in downtown Detroit. We had so much fun and the pictures turned out incredible. She even let us bring our dog along!! The wedding pictures were on a whole other level. We are still in awe! Our wedding was over the 2023 Christmas holiday, yet Lola delivered our photos in less than 30 days after our wedding. We were blown away by Lola’s attention to detail, capturing the day in every way we envisioned it. We couldn’t wait for our wedding day knowing we had this wonderful team alongside us. We had a huge group too, it’s not an easy feat getting people together and they did it like pros. We highly suggest Lola for your wedding day or special event! Thank you will never be enough! - The Horne’s”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely—this is at the heart of my approach. I focus on documenting your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, capturing genuine emotion, movement, and connection rather than overly posed or staged moments.
I will step in when needed for family formals and guided portraits to keep things running smoothly, but my priority is always to preserve the real story of your day—your laughter, tears, and in-between moments that can’t be recreated.
-
Yes! Engagement sessions are available as an add-on to any wedding collection. To keep my wedding packages flexible and fairly priced, I don’t bundle engagement sessions into every collection—this way, you only invest in what you truly need.
A 1-hour engagement session can be added for $500 and is a great way for us to get to know each other, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and create beautiful images ahead of your wedding day. You can easily add this when booking.
-
Consistency is very important to me. Every image is carefully edited in my signature style—true-to-color, timeless, bright, and natural—so your gallery feels cohesive from start to finish.
Whether I’m photographing your wedding or a trusted associate is assisting in special circumstances, your final collection will always reflect the same editing style and artistic standard you see throughout my portfolio.
-
While I personally attend the vast majority of weddings I book, I also have a trusted network of professional photographers I can call on if an emergency ever arises. This ensures your day is always fully covered, no matter what.
In the rare case I cannot be there due to illness or emergency, a qualified, experienced photographer will step in so you can feel confident your wedding is in capable hands.
-
Most couples book 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. However, if your date is sooner, feel free to reach out—if I have availability, I’d love to work with you.
-
You can typically expect between 50–100 edited images per hour of coverage, depending on the flow of your day and events happening throughout.
-
I always aim for 4-6 week. Sneak peeks are also available with certain collections or can be added on so you have something to share and relive right away.
-
Yes—this is completely normal, and I guide you through everything. I’ll give you simple direction that feels natural so nothing ever looks stiff or forced. Most couples are surprised by how easy and fun it feels.
-
Yes! I love traveling for weddings. Travel fees may apply depending on location, and I’ll always outline everything clearly in your custom proposal.
-
Absolutely. I help all of my couples build a photography timeline that ensures we have enough time for portraits, family formals, and golden hour—without feeling rushed.
