About

So you want to know what got me here? I have a BA in Journalism from Eastern Michigan University, and my first job was writing stories and taking photos for the News-Herald in Southgate, Mich. I am now a full-time portrait photographer and award-winning photojournalist specializing in weddings and engagements. I have spent years photographing prep sports, charitable events, magazine covers and families. I have worked for newspapers, Fortune 500s, brides and moms-to-be, all while trying to be the best documentarian I can. It is my great pleasure to bring this experience and more to your big day. - Adam

I cannot say enough good things about working with Adam for our wedding photography. Adam was a pleasant and calming influence on my wedding day. There were times were photo's taken that I didn't even know he was around for because he was so quick, quiet, and professional. He also seemed to be keenly aware of when to make himself known and offer a little direction.

He was patient and kept us laughing in freezing cold Michigan weather, and Adam was very flexible and open to changing needs.

One of the main things people talk about when it comes to my wedding is how amazed and in love with the photo's they are. Friends and family are in awe of the artistic talent Adam has in capturing true emotions in his photography. Many guest at my wedding have become an Adam Sparkes fan club, following his blog and website updates religiously for the next beautiful set of photos.

Adam truly is highly professional, but yet has the personality and calming influence that it is a pleasure to share such special and personal moments with him, I felt like he was a member of my family or bridal party, not just a vendor.

I have only good things to say about Adam! He is everything we wanted in a photographer for our wedding; very talented, flexible and accommodating, professional, a great personality that was easy to work with and made taking photos so much fun...I could go on and on! He made everyone feel so at ease while taking photos; he has a knack for getting people to laugh and feel comfortable around him, which helps him capture all the personalities of the people in the photos. He was such a nice presence to have on our wedding day, and went beyond the duties of just a photographer. He helped keep track of time so we didn't have to worry about it, and even saved our wedding cake from a 3-year-old almost grabbing it! (We found out about that after the wedding, thank you Adam!) My husband and I agree (along with both of our parents) that he was the perfect fit and was by far our favorite wedding vendor that we picked!! We highly recommend him to anyone!

Adam is by far the absolute best. We got along right away, he's very easy going and light hearted. We had a great time doing our engagement pictures and getting to know him. He's very creative - he will see an amazing shot when no one else can. We just received our wedding photos and they are incredible. He really captured our day and the mood along with it. He is extremely talented and is definitely a photo journalist, telling a story with every wedding he does. He will do the posed pictures if they're important to you, but definitely let him do his own thing. He'll capture moments in a beautiful way. We will cherish our pictures for years to come.

Go with Adam if you can - you won't regret it!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
