A Groovy Summer Wedding at The Jam Handy | Detroit Wedding Photography
Ashley and Xander's wedding was everything you hope for as a Detroit wedding photographer—full of personality, style, laughter, and a whole lot of love. Set in the heart of Downtown Detroit at the eclectic and historic Jam Handy, their day was the perfect blend of vintage 70s vibes and modern romance.
A Unique Wedding Venue in Detroit: The Jam Handy
The Jam Handy is one of Detroit’s most beloved and creative wedding venues, and it fit Ashley and Xander's celebration like a glove. With its industrial charm, exposed brick, tall ceilings, and artistic energy, it offered the perfect backdrop for their retro-themed wedding day. Their 70s-inspired details—from record table numbers to bold florals and disco accents—made every inch of the space feel them.
As a Michigan wedding photographer, venues like this are such a joy to photograph. The character of the Jam Handy allows for authentic storytelling, especially when paired with couples as expressive and fun-loving as these two.
Getting Married in the City: Downtown Detroit Wedding Photos
The day was bright, sunny, and hot—a classic Michigan summer wedding day. We kicked things off with bridal party portraits in front of the iconic Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). The clean lines and marble steps of the museum offered a stunning contrast to the couple’s warm color palette and 70s fashion, making their photos truly pop.
Downtown Detroit offers so many great photo opportunities for weddings—from classic architectural backdrops to colorful murals and hidden alleyways. Ashley and Xander chose just the right spots to tell their love story with style.
A Celebration Filled with Heart and Personality
From their emotional vows to the dance party that followed, Ashley and Xander’s wedding was full of joyful, unscripted moments. One of the best parts of photographing weddings in Detroit is how every couple brings their own vibe to the city—and this one was full of nostalgia, creativity, and connection.
These two are a perfect reminder that marriage is more than a single day—it’s a lifetime of choosing each other, laughing together, and showing up no matter what.
