“We are so grateful we found Lola Marie Photography for our wedding. Lola is not just a photographer she's an artist who has a talent for capturing the right perspective in the moment.
Throughout the planning process, Lola was incredibly communicative and collaborative. She heard our asks and offered creative suggestions.
What we love most about our photos is how authentic they feel. Lola captured the laughter, the tears, the stolen glances, and all those fleeting moments that made our day so special. Looking through our album, we feel exactly what we felt on our wedding day all over again.
Lola's talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients shine through in every single shot. We recommend her if you want the best results.” -

“An Absolutely Incredible Experience with Lola! Choosing Lola as our wedding photographer was the best decision for our special day. She delivered stunning photographs and an incredibly smooth, stress-free experience. Lola consistently took initiative, which was a huge relief. She proactively located us (the bride and groom) throughout the ceremony and reception, planning her shots around our movements. This allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration, trusting Lola to expertly document every detail. The photographs themselves are simply breathtaking. Lola's mastery of lighting and editing is exceptional; each image is perfectly lit, vibrant, and crisp, making us look our absolute best. Finally, the ease of access to our photos was fantastic. We received a link to a user-friendly online gallery, allowing us to easily download high-resolution copies of every single photo. We wholeheartedly recommend Lola for her talent, professionalism, and truly stunning results. Thank you, Lola, for perfectly capturing the magic of our wedding day!”

My husband and I are not photogenic people with known poses, so she made us feel completely comfortable and helped create ideas for engagement photos and wedding photos. I highly recommend using her for your special events!”

“Where do we begin!? We cannot thank Lola enough for capturing our wedding day from start to finish. Lola’s engagement photo shoot with us was just magical in downtown Detroit. We had so much fun and the pictures turned out incredible. She even let us bring our dog along!! The wedding pictures were on a whole other level. We are still in awe! Our wedding was over the 2023 Christmas holiday, yet Lola delivered our photos in less than 30 days after our wedding. We were blown away by Lola’s attention to detail, capturing the day in every way we envisioned it. We couldn’t wait for our wedding day knowing we had this wonderful team alongside us. We had a huge group too, it’s not an easy feat getting people together and they did it like pros. We highly suggest Lola for your wedding day or special event! Thank you will never be enough! - The Horne’s”
