detroit and chicago — destinations worldwide
editorial flair and nostalgic feel for classic and elevated couples
At Kailee Marie Photography, weddings are captured on both digital and film with a calm, present approach that feels like a trusted friend by your side.
I focus on soft, sophisticated, and emotional imagery, from candid moments to bold, editorial flash photos that feel nostalgic and alive. With nearly a decade of experience and 200+ weddings photographed, I bring a steady, intentional presence to every celebration.
Based in Michigan, we photograph weddings across Detroit, Chicago, and destinations worldwide, offering collections for intimate celebrations, full wedding day coverage, and wedding weekends, including fully curated destination experiences for immersive, multi-day celebrations.
Our clients value intentional storytelling, candid and refined photographs, and a photography experience that feels seamless, collaborative, and thoughtfully guided. Most couples invest between $6,000–$10,000 for their wedding photography experience.

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!"
