We love our wedding day photos!!!

We hired Kellie Saunders and her team for our wedding in Royal Oak and are so happy with how our photos turned out! Courtney was our primary photographer and she captured so many details from our big day. We felt at ease working with her and everything went seamlessly. We love how our photos turned out - they are very natural and bright (no weird sepia tones or overediting). They sent us our photos within 3 weeks of our wedding date which was amazing!

Absolutely amazing

Where do I even begin with other than AMAZING. We worked with Kellie for our engagement photos in 2019 and it was incredible from the start. Kellie is super responsive to emails and questions and very professional. She made us feel like naturals in front of the camera and kept us laughing the whole time. Unfortunately due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding to August 2021 but the photos were worth the wait! Kellie was super flexible with making sure we were still able to have them for our wedding photography this year. We just got our photos back and WOW. We are speechless with how incredible the photos were. Kellie and Jen worked with us on our wedding day and made the flow of the day so easy and they were so helpful. They even calmed me down a few times when we had minor problems with other things. They truly make you feel like family!!! We are so grateful for the incredible experience. We would highly recommend them for your photos!

Kellie is thee BEST photographer out there! Even our wedding guest had nice things to say about her! She is just so much fun to work with, so funny and professional. And she made us feel comfortable taking pictures which to us, was the most important thing. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and we are so grateful to kellie and her team for all the hard work. We 100% recommend Kellie!

Kelli is great! She quickly put me at ease about one of the biggest wedding planning decisions we've had to make to date. Kelli's been in business for 13 years and really knows the metro-Detroit wedding. Not only was she able to offer tips on photography, but she was able to steer us in the right direction for hotels, restaurants etc. We can't wait to shoot with her!

We had Jen and Aaron for the day and we LOVED, LOVED, LOVED these two! Jen is seriously my twin and when I’m back in Michigan or if she’s in Nashville, we’re grabbing a drink together – we had SO much fun with these two! You spend A LOT of time with your photographer(s), so even though how much you like them doesn’t always come as one of your top items on your checklists, it should be! Jen and Aaron not only helped capture moments from what will be one of the best days of our lives, but we had a blast doing it! Tons of laughs, smiles and fun!

We had an intimate wedding of 46 people so we only needed them for a short time of 5 hours, but we managed to go to so many locations and snag all the photos we needed and wanted! We’ve only seen the sneak peeks but are supposed to get the full gallery this month and we know based off of what we’ve seen so far that they’ll be wonderful!

Family portraits – the things you have to do but no one likes doing them. They were the dream team! Aaron shot the photos while Jen got us all in place and helped grab the kiddo’s attention by making them laugh and smile! We sped through those with ease!

I truly was so sad when they had to leave since we had TRULY, the best day ever with them. The day flies by and hubby and I were so glad we were lucky enough to spend it with Jen and Aaron!

You’re in great hands!

Kellie was absolutely amazing to work with! From our very first time meeting with her over Skype, to our engagement photos, to creating a timeline for the wedding and the actual wedding itself, she was great at communicating, figuring out what we were looking for, and most importantly, having fun! She's so energetic and easy to work with that we never felt uncomfortable in front of the camera, even though neither of us had professional pictures done before. She's also great at taking control during the posed portraits at the wedding to assure that the bride and groom get the photos they want, and was able to politely keep camera happy relatives from getting in the way! Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous and we cannot wait to hang them in our home. Every time we look at them, we love them even more! Overall, Kellie is a fun and fantastic professional to work with who will provide you with wonderful photos that you will love for years to come! I recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who will not only capture their day, but help assure that it is truly special as well!

What can I say, Kellie was everything we were looking for in a photographer and more! First of all, she is immensely talented and professional. She takes her work seriously and puts forth the effort to get you the most beautiful and exquisite photographs you can imagine! She is also incredibly hilarious and fun, and I can’t emphasize this enough-you need this on your wedding day! We worked with her for our engagement shoot months beforehand in December-which was seriously THE WORST weather Detroit could offer-and we still had a blast and got gorgeous photos! She was enthusiastic and made it happen since it was our only possible chance. Our wedding was just this past weekend, so I haven’t seen the photos yet but I know they will be amazing. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She moved through our portraits at the church with poise and organization-there was no yelling or barking orders or people running around. Our family all commented that it was by far the easiest and nicest photo session ever. She was creative and open to ideas including following us to our house after to take photos with our dog! I cannot wait to see those! Overall, I would highly, highly recommend Kellie, she will not disappoint!

Hiring Kellie was the best decision we could have made! She made taking a ton of pictures fun and captured all the perfect moments! My family raved about how awesome Kellie and her assistant was and how great of a job she did! She thought of every detail! She was professional but made it fun which made it even better! Thanks Kellie for everything!

From the moment I first spoke to Kellie on the phone, I knew she was the photographer for me. She was fun, friendly, extremely energetic, and most importantly -- she 'got it' - she saw my vision and was onboard right out of the gate. Weddings are stressful and expensive and the last thing you need is a vendor who makes you feel uneasy or like you're bothering them - and Kellie NEVER made me feel anything but welcome and reassured which I SO appreciated. Kellie is so professional -- I never had to worry about a thing. On the day of the wedding, she was not only my photographer, but an awesome addition to the day's festivities. She was funny, easy-going and made my entire wedding party and family feel comfortable. I worked with a wedding planner and she worked with her seamlessly. Her assistant was awesome as well. My husband lost collar magnets he brought and her assistant was calling around to stores in the area to try and help find what he needed - so appreciated! Ok, all that and we haven't even talked about the PHOTOS! I wanted candid moments captured more than I cared about formal shots and she delivered on both. I actually love my formal family shots more than I thought I would and my candid captures are so great. She really made my vision come to light. She caught all the awesome laughs, cries, glances, hugs, funny dance moves, and every special detail. I can't say enough good things about Kellie - if she is free on your wedding date, snatch her up! Seriously - photography is one place where you need the best and Kellie is the best. Love her! Thank you Kellie!!
