    Pick this one!!!

    I cannot say enough about how amazing Alan is!!! We had ALOT of struggles due to venue changes and then Covid and then replanning the wedding multiple times. Alan was very supportive and flexible. On top of that his knowledge and passion for photography is evident and contagious! He had such positive energy and guided us to make truly lasting and beautiful pictures. Any one who had a chance (including our other vendors) took the time to tell us just how amazing he was throughout the wedding. They only allow 5 stars on here but I wish I could give 1000000000x more. If you book Transcending Memories know that you are getting the absolute best!

    Stunning Photos, Excellent Photographer!

    It was a pleasure to have Alan as our photographer for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We could tell that Alan was passionate about his work as he captured our special moments by manipulating lighting and creating timeless scenes. He paid attention to detail with every photograph he took, and all of the photos taken highlighted his creativity. Alan stayed in touch with us throughout the process of making our final wedding album and he made sure that we were happy with our photos before sending it to us. When we saw the photos we were amazed; each picture was phenomenal. If we had to do it over again, we’d work with Alan in a heartbeat. It was a pleasure working with him and we would definitely recommend Transcending Memories for your special day.

    Amazing photographer!

    Alan and his assistant were prompt and professional. They went out of their way to capture every moment of our daughter’s wedding day. Alan did a fabulous job of editing photos and making sure we were all pleased with the final product. Alan definitely went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend him for any of your photography needs!

    Great photos and very personable photographer

    Alan was great! He met with my wife and I for a long time when we first met with him. We were very impressed.

    We had an engagement shoot and he was very creative and had great ideas.

    For our wedding, he and his assistant were on the ball. I didn’t realize the need for so many photos until I saw the finished products.

    Thanks so much Alan for capturing memories that will last us a lifetime! We would definitely recommend him to family, friends or anyone.

    Excellent all around!

    His work is excellent! ...and very reasonable in price. I felt that he gave a lot of direction as well as heard my visions and made it happen :)
    He is VERY quick to respond with any questions and goes with the flow during the event. He definitely kept me at ease even during some stressful times during my wedding.

    The Master of Lighting!

    The way that Alan framed his shots and the attention to lighting gave us an album with magazine quality photos. It takes a bit of time for him to set up his lights for the pictures, but it makes all of the difference. He was happy and enthusiastic throughout the long long day and put in extra time to get the perfect shots that he had planned. We wanted to find someone who could capture our day with a few outstanding wall mountable shots - he exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier that we found him!

    Magical Forest Wedding

    Working with Alan was an awesome experience. He has a true love for photography that is apparent with his enthusiasm and openness to trying new things. He was willing to put in the extra time and effort to get the perfect shots of our special day. Would recommend Alan to anyone, we received many comments from friends and family about how beautiful our photos turned out!

    Great photographer!

    Alan is great! He is a true photographer. He is personable, kind, and enjoyable to have around on your special day. Alan is a very hard worker who puts in his all. He did pull us a lot for photos throughout the reception, but it was because he just wanted to capture every special moment of our day. If you have had enough picture taking, just let him know because he will just keep working. He is a good listener and follows any directions you may have very well. He is also creative and will give you incredible photos that are unmatched and will absolutely become keepsakes in your home. We had him bring an extra photographer, and together, they caught everything on camera. They caught family and friend’s expressions in memorable moments, as well as all of our necessary photos and some incredible artistic ones to give you that Wow factor. He was truly wonderful and a must for your wedding!

    The Best Photographer You Will Hire In Metro Detroit

    You will not find a photographer in the area who is as creative, skilled and passionate about his craft as Alan with Transcending Memories Photography. He was the first vendor we hired after we booked our wedding venue and it was one of the best decisions we made during all of our wedding planning. We could tell right from the start Alan really wanted to get to know us and our perfect vision of our day. He was patient and met with us and showed us many examples. I signed on with him the same night. He is a master with lighting and his shots are a combination of perfect composition, lighting, and effects. We had our engagement shoot with Alan about a year before the wedding and our friends raved about the beautiful photos. I am usually very awkward in posing for pictures, but Alan is a pro at knowing how to work with you to ensure everything looks perfect. He sent us our wedding album the other night and the shots were stunning!! He captured many lovely surprises that we would not have otherwise gotten to see being spread so thin on our wedding day, and very artistic poses of us that will look great as both mementos of our special day and pieces of art. They were really movie-quality shots. If you would like to feel assured that all of the moments of the best day of your life are captured in the most visually stunning way possible, you should not hesitate to hire Alan with Transcending Memories.

    Loved every single photo from our Wedding!

    Alan was the best choice we made for our wedding. Our photos turned out amazing. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Alan always made us feel comfortable. He knows his lighting so well that he can make any rainy day, sunny day, or night look amazing. We got pictures at all of these times and they all look so good. Our family has all commented on how great the pictures turned out too. Alan is so passionate about photography we never had any doubt about how the pictures would turn out. I would recommend Alan for a worry free Wedding day! We also chose to pay for two photographers through Alan. Alan brought another photographer the day of to get the groomsmen getting ready and catch more candid pictures throughout the night. I would recommend doing this as we have so many good photos to choose from now

    Alan was awesome to work with. He was very flexible and creative. during my reception we planned on doing a sparkler pic at night and we couldn't do it because it was raining. So on the fly Alan did an awesome rain shot with us holding a white umbrella. It ended up being my favorite picture! His creativity and quick thought was amazing! We highly recommend using him.

    Alan did a wonderful job photographing our special day. He was an absolute blast to work with and even our guests commented on how impressed they were with his ability to get wonderful shots at any scenario during the wedding. From our first meeting until the day of our wedding he was very easy to speak with and always provided a quick response. Adding on top of the wonderful job he did, we were astounded to have the pictures sent to us to proof after only a couple days. We couldn't be happier with the job he did and would recommend him to anyone who needs a special event photographed. Alan is the best!

    Alan was so professional yet at the same time he was fun and made all the guests at ease. He had so many creative ideas and was so passionate about creating beautiful photographs. Extremely polite and well mannered. Everyone who viewed the pictures was blown away by the quality and creativity. I would highly recommend Alan to do your wedding pictures. He has a natural gift for photography and very reasonable prices. You will not be disappointed. It will be one of the best decisions you can make in your planning of your wedding.

Especially if you're looking for someone awesome with great quality work!

    We love our wedding photographs! Alan did beyond amazing in capturing our special day. He kept everything I wanted in mind while being artistic and making sure the details looked beautiful. In his pictures he captured emotions and moments perfectly. He has a fun personality to work with and made sure all the little details such as wedding dress train, veil, ties, flowers, etc were in the right place. During the day I was not going to be thinking about those things but I know afterward in the pictures I would have noticed. Very thing was picture perfect thanks to Alan and I highly recommend him for your big day!

    We met Alan because the first photographer we signed with was unable to do our wedding. Naturally, we felt extremely stressed scrambling to find someone new. But, when I first talked to Alan, he immediately put me at ease. I wish we could give a rating higher than 5 stars! That's how good Alan and his team are! Alan is a consummate professional! He is so kind and friendly. Alan made everyone feel at ease. I've never seen a photographer work so hard. He was running around and always trying to find the best and most creative way to take shots of all the events of the day. It is obvious Alan loves photography and he comes up with so many unique and beautiful shots! Our wedding day was a rainy one, but Alan worked his tail off to make sure we still had outdoor photographs. My whole family fell in love with Alan and we plan to use him for all special occasions in the future!

    Alan was a pleasure to work with. He is very creative and we are in love with the pictures he took, for our engagement session and wedding pictures. He is the type of photographer that is not at all intrusive during a wedding, but he manages to get the best shots. Would definitely recommend him to anyone for their photography needs.

    Where do I start with Alan? After everything and the time we’ve spent together, I feel like we’re all like good friends now! It was a pleasure having him be apart and I will forever do business with him. His communication is great, he’s responsive, and he’s friendly. His work is amazing and he gives his complete all! He’s all about you and capturing your essence. What’s really cool, and perhaps sets him apart from other photographers, is that he takes out the time and does a lot with lighting to really give that eloquent effect. He really takes your portraits to another level. He’s skilled and very knowledgeable in his craft. He’s an artist, truly! Of all my hired vendors for my wedding, he made me the happiest! I’d recommend him 1000X over. Alan gave us quality and experience and it was worth every penny.

    Our experience with Alan at Transcending Memories Photography was beyond phenominal. Not only did he capture every beautiful moment of our wedding, but he even planned out our destinations for our sneak peek pictures with the alotted time we had. Alan went above and beyond all expectations we ever had for a photographer and he is beyond genuine. You definitely can tell he absolutely loves what he does and he is very passionate about catching every timeless moment. Did I mention he had all of our pictures edited and sent by to us in just three days?! We can't thank Alan enough for everything he did, but we dedinitely can refer anyone in need of a photographer to him.

    Working with Alan was amazing! He was eager from our first meeting and even helped me figure out last minute details. Alan provided recommendations for photographs that would allow his creativeness to shine through. Alan provided photos quickly and they were great.

    My entire wedding party loved Alan and his personality. He was also very accommodating. I'm thankful to have found Alan and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Expect Alan to be apart of the party! He's awesome.

    Alan worked non-stop on our wedding day. He found so many perfect shots and really captured the atmosphere of our day. And I loved the fireworks pictures ? He got us access to the whole gallery of photos in just ~2-3 days and we had such a hard time picking out our favorites because they were all lovely!

    I 100% recommend Alan. He was also very fun to be around! Which made the pictures even more fun.

    Right from the first day we met him to the last picture taken at our wedding, we wouldn’t change our experience with Alan for anything! His professionalism and flexibility made it a smooth, enjoyable time of capturing all the memories from our favorite day! His price and quality could not be beat! We were able to discuss with him all the ideas and he put them into action, never once complaining or trying to change our mind on things. Our wedding was on a Saturday and we had the link to our pictures by the following Tuesday! If you are looking for a top notch photographer that really gets to know you and what you want and can make it happen, look no further than Mr. Alan Ho!

    We used Transcending Memories for our wedding. From the beginning I was very impressed. Alan did an fantastic job capturing an engagement session for us. He was always willing to answer any questions I had before the wedding to ease my mind. Then, on the big day, he was there early, took a ton of pictures of the bridal party, the guests, and the venue and they all turned out amazing! Pictures are forever memories and its not something you want to short yourself on. Transcending Memories went above and beyond for me and my husband- you won't regret choosing them!

    I had to plan a wedding in 5 months and with Alan I didn’t need to worry about photography. He was amazing, had quick response times through email, able to work around my crazy schedule, and the pictures capture the feeling of the day.

    The photography was the most important part of the wedding for me and Alan did an AMAZING job at capturing every part (the big and small things). Everyone who sees our pictures are so impressed with the quality. He was so great to me (because i was a scattered mess lol) it was so great working with him.
    I tell everyone about him and his great work. I was truly blessed to have found him.
    Thank you again for everything

    Alan is incredible !! He has a way of making you feel like so at ease and comfortable durning the photo shoot! We hired Alan and took him to northern Michigan to capture our day like no other! From Petoskey to the mackinac bridge we stoped along the way to capture each perfect spot! His attention to the details is off the charts! I have worked with other photographers in the past but never have I had someone as experienced , knowledgeable and who loved his profeffision as much as Alan! If your getting engaged , married or simply looking for family photos, transcending memories is the route to go!

    Amazing photographer to work with. Some of the most amazing pictures and lighting I have ever seen. Great value and very reasonable priced. He even brought an assistant the day of the wedding to make sure we were happy. The only reason he doesn't get 5 out of 5 is two things, and they aren't really his fault. When he asks about what photos you want, you have to know exactly what you want, not just which family members, but locations and bridal group, etc. Also he focuses so much on lighting, which is truly incredible, he misses small things like a car in the background, or the dress wasn't quite perfect. Alan was truly amazing and we were very happy working with him and the final outcome.

    Overall, Alan was really great, and he brought an assistant to help with the shots. Both of them were there all day (~10 hours), and the price was very reasonable. He was very flexible with what we wanted, and got some really great shots, particularly the impromptu ones. Alan does night shots with large sparkler-type fireworks, which turned out really nice.

    He was good about posing my husband and I for photos together, but not as good for the group photos. For the formal photos of the bridal party, little posing or adjustment was done, and some of the shots could have used it. He was very flexible and open to any shots we wanted. However, I wish there had been more posing and suggestions of group shots, both in formal and fun pictures. The groomsmen took many fun pictured, which was mostly due to the initiative of one groomsman in particular, whereas the bridesmaids didn't take very many.

    There were two things that couples should be aware of that I wasn't expecting. Alan has a drone, which provided a few nice shots, but it did take a while to set up. He also frequently used a free-standing light, in addition to that attached to his camera. These also took some time to set up for certain shots.
