detroit and chicago based — destinations worldwide
editorial flair and nostalgic feel for classic and elevated couples
At Kailee Marie Photography, weddings are documented with intention, care, and an eye for authentic connection.
Working in both digital and film, the day unfolds through a balance of quiet observation and thoughtful direction. Subtle in between moments become refined portraits that come together to tell the story of the day in a way that feels effortless.
Each photograph is created with softness, sophistication, and vibrant life in mind. As the atmosphere of the celebration evolves, so does the approach. Direct flash introduces bold, dynamic party photographs that feel editorial, nostalgic, and alive. With almost a decade in the wedding industry and more than 200 weddings documented, Kailee Marie Photography brings both experience and artistry to every celebration.
Based in Michigan, we photograph weddings across Detroit, Chicago, and destinations worldwide, including fully inclusive destination experiences designed for immersive, multi-day wedding weekends.
Our clients value intentional storytelling, candid and refined photographs, and a photography experience that feels seamless, collaborative, and thoughtfully guided. Most couples invest between $7,000–$10,000 for their wedding photography experience.
My approach blends digital and film to capture unposed emotional moments alongside polished portraits, documenting your day from start to finish with intention and care
We planned our wedding from a distance and despite that distance, Kailee communicated exceptionally well and never missed a beat. When the day finally came, her calm demeanor put us at ease and we felt totally comfortable. Her photography alone is what grasped our attention, but her personality and the way she can make you feel cared for is what really stands her out from other vendors.
"She is a vendor that is passionate about her work and her clients."
When I first spoke with her, I felt like we instantly connected. She had perfect questions and was interested to actually get to know my fiancé and myself, deeper than what’s on the surface.
"Kailee made us feel so comfortable and made our engagement shoot super fun!!."
Her work speaks for itself. She takes beautiful photos and does excellent editing. Communication was efficient and straightforward. Kailee did wonderful location scouting for my very specific requests, both for our engagement and wedding photos. We'll have the photos forever, and I am just so happy with them.
"Hiring Kailee was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day."
She was so personable and made everyone feel so comfortable being in front of the camera. I knew with having Kailee as our photographer, I wouldn’t have to stress about making sure she got the perfect shots of our wedding day.
“Kailee was an absolute dream vendor!"
