About

Hi, we're Jason and Emma! A couple of goofy souls that fell in love. Our passion is photography and we pride ourselves on capturing beautiful, clean, natural images. Jason is the talented photographer and Emma is the mastermind of public relations. Outside of owning our own business, we spend our time as the proud parents of Salem Bennett, our darling baby boy and our fur baby, Pudge.

We're based out of South East Michigan and Traverse City, MI and we travel nationally and internationally. Our images are a mix of artistic and photojournalistic style. For more information regarding our photography and packages, please visit our contact tab and let us know a little bit about yourself and what you're looking for. We'd love to meet you for coffee!

Flexible, Brilliant, Mastery

Emma and Jason are an absolute joy to work with! From postponing and rescheduling our wedding (COVID), to deciding to move forward with an intimate ceremony on our original wedding date, their flexibility and patience during an already difficult time made the process as smooth as could be. We are thrilled and completely impressed with how beautifully Collective Image captured BOTH of our special days, and would gladly recommend them over and over again.

They were Amazing! Highly Recommend!

Jason and Emma where amazing! During a stressful time planning a wedding during a pandemic they where calming, understanding, and reliable. They had great and fast communication. Not to mention I’m in love with the photos! They did all the photos I requested, plus I defined recommend taking their advise on timing of photos and photo opportunities at your venue.

The absolute best photographers!

Emma and Jason made our days before and the day of our wedding so special for us! They were always there when we needed them, they were responsive to e-mails and texts, and always always always made us feel the most important, even though, they inevitably had probably a million different tasks for other couples on their plate and on their radar! We can't say enough good things about them and their company... not only is their work amazing and captures the best times, they are so personable and make the day and events leading up to it really feel important and they make it "yours"!

Collective Image Photography is amazing!

Jason and Emma are the best! We loved doing our engagement shoot with them before the wedding, not only did we get fantastic engagement photos, it helped us relax in front of the camera and get to know them better. Emma was always super responsive to all of our requests, even though our wedding took place days after the arrival of their newest family member! Jason did a fantastic job throughout, not only did he take amazing photos, he helped us with the timetable and with coordinating everything with our other vendors. He got all of the photos we wanted, plus some amazing photos from the dance floor. We can't recommend Collective Image Photography enough, you won't regret your decision if you choose them!

Can we be best friends??

There is not much more I can say about working with Jason and Emma other than now we just want to be best friends with them! They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and patiently helped us with questions and suggestions throughout the entire planning process. We have received so many compliments on our pictures already and so many people have asked who we worked with. I will continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Talented, Personal, & Reliable

I cannot say enough great things about Collective Image Photography. They were super communicative throughout the process and were very flexible, especially considering we were looking to do a ceremony and reception on different days. Even when I felt frustrated by my other vendors, it was a relief to know I never had to worry about the photographer!

Jason has an amazing eye and he captured some really great shots. He provided us with both wonderful posed portraits and fantastic candid photos, which is exactly what we were hoping for! Not only is Jason a truly talented photographer, but he also went way above and beyond to help us during our reception day. He held umbrellas, he sprinted down the street to help push one of our bridesmaid’s cars out of a ditch, and he helped move tables around to make last minute indoor family photos possible.

We loved our experience with Collective Image Photography and hope we have an excuse to use them again sometime soon!

Jason and Emma from Collective Image Photography were an absolute dream to work with! They did our engagement pictures in Traverse City and they also did our wedding pictures in Detroit/Dearborn in September. Jason is behind the camera working magic and Emma is the greatest, most hilarious yet reassuring sidekick. Sometimes being in the spotlight for pictures can seem daunting, but these two made everything SO effortless with their fun-loving and easy going personalities. We are so in love with our pictures! I would recommend them a million times over and I can't wait to work with them in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
