Michigan Wedding Photographer
A collection of memories,
Capturing the essence of your wedding day is a responsibility I hold with great care and reverence. With my light and dreamy photographic style, I aim to preserve not just the moments, but the emotions and atmosphere that make your day uniquely yours. Every detail, from the smallest glance to the grandest gesture, deserves to be documented with elegance and grace. Let’s dive into the details below and create something timeless together.
preserving the essence of your love
my Philosophy
It's all about forever
My goal is simple. I want to capture your wedding day in a way that feels like you, not just what happened, but how it felt. Through my lens, I want to tell the story of your day, the joy, the unplanned moments, the quiet ones too. My hope is that when you look back at these photos, years from now, they don't just remind you of the day. They bring you right back into it, the way it felt to be there, and that feeling stays with you for a long time to come.

"She was my number one choice from the beginning and her photos did not disappoint. She knows just the right way to capture beauty and I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work. We also got a wedding album made by her that we absolutely love. Thank you for all of the beautiful photos you have given us!"
Miranda is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Our Signature Approach
Explore the Process
The Consultation
When you reach out, I prioritize creating a personalized experience from the very start. We’ll schedule an initial meeting to dive into your story as a couple and discuss your vision for your wedding day.
Planning
I understand the demands of planning a wedding and am here to offer support at every step. Before the big day, we’ll hold a dedicated planning session to ensure every special moment and detail is thoughtfully anticipated, along with any unique ideas you’d love to bring to life. If an idea or inspiration strikes, simply email me, and I’ll be quick to respond to even the smallest details. For more in-depth discussions, I’m always available for additional phone calls or meetings at your convenience.
Your Wedding Day
When your wedding day arrives, you can relax knowing I've got it covered. Because we've already spent time getting to know each other, you'll feel comfortable in front of my camera, and nothing will feel forced. I'll guide you when you need it and step back when you don't, capturing the genuine moments that make your day uniquely yours.
Gallery Delivery
You will receive a gallery of your final images from me electronically no more than 8-10 weeks after the date of the wedding. If you purchase a wedding package with a wedding album included, or choose to add one later, we will set up a time to meet in person or over video chat to design your album! I will come to that meeting with a preliminary design, and welcome revisions at that meeting, and an additional meeting if needed (additional fees may apply after this second meeting). Getting to a design that you love is a priority to me, because this album will be a forever reminder of your special day.
The Investment
Couples typically invest around $4,000 in their wedding photography package with me. For a complete pricing guide or any questions you may have, please don’t hesitate to reach out through my contact page or directly at [email protected]. I’m here to help you explore how we can create a photography experience that perfectly aligns with your vision and needs.

Frequently asked
Questions
Why Miranda Joly Photography?
Beyond my education and experience, weddings and love stories are my passion. The mission of my photography is to capture the essence of you as a couple through the images I capture. Whatever you need while planning, including last minute things the day of your wedding, I’m excited for all of it! I want to work with you to make sure you have every memory captured. I would be honored to be considered as the photographer you trust to capture one of the most important events of your lifetime
Do you work with a second photographer?
Some of my wedding packages include a second shooter, while others do not—but it's always an option to add one for an additional fee. If you'd like to capture both the bride and groom getting ready, for instance, I highly recommend adding a second shooter to ensure we don't miss any of those special moments.
How far out do we need to book?
As soon as you have your wedding date and venue confirmed, it's a good idea to start reaching out to potential photographers. The earlier, the better. It's always wise to inquire sooner rather than later to ensure availability and secure your photographer of choice.
Do you travel?
I'm based in Clarkston, Michigan, and I'm happy to serve couples all across the state and beyond. Whether you're planning your wedding in Michigan or further afield, I'm excited to be there to document your day. For weddings outside of a one-hour radius from Clarkston, a travel fee will apply to cover transportation and additional time. Feel free to reach out, and we can chat about the details to make sure everything is seamless on your big day.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely, we offer flexible payment plans to make the investment in your wedding photography as seamless as possible. Whether during our initial consultation or as part of the booking process, we’ll tailor a plan that suits your preferences and timeline. My goal is to ensure that this process is not only stress-free, but also aligns perfectly with your vision, making every step of our collaboration effortless and enjoyable.
Can you hold our wedding date for us?
If you think we make a good match, your wedding date will be reserved once I receive one-fourth of your final payment (also known as your retainer fee) and a signed contract.
"From the start we told her we weren’t the most photogenic but she encouraged us and made us feel so comfortable. She made our wedding so special and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. So grateful to have found Miranda and I’m so thankful for her kind heart from the start. "
Miranda was so thoughtful and caring through the whole process.
