michigan & Chicago Wedding photography & Videography
Weddings by M&M
THE EXPERIENCE
Beautifully directed, honestly documented.
You shouldn't have to choose between beautifully composed portraits and photographs filled with genuine emotion.
We believe your wedding deserves both.
With an approach that blends intentional direction with documentary storytelling, we create photographs that feel elevated and artistic while still feeling unmistakably like you.
"It is so obvious the joy and pride they take in their work. My sneak peeks had me crying, I am so thankful I chose them to capture our most memorable day...”

A VOW TO OUR COUPLES To preserve not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
Our vow to you is simple.
We will never lose sight of what your wedding day is actually about.
We'll guide you when you need direction, step back when a moment deserves to unfold naturally, and make space for you to be fully present with the people you love most.
We'll create the beautiful portraits you'll hang on your walls, but we'll also look for the things you didn't know were happening.
Your mom wiping away a tear. Your grandparents dancing. Your best friend losing it during the ceremony. The way your husband looks at you when you're not paying attention.
Because years from now, those photographs won't just show you what your wedding looked like.
They'll remind you exactly how it felt.
This is our process:
I. Inquire.
It starts at hello. Tell us about your wedding, your people, and what you're dreaming up.
II. Connect.
We'll schedule a relaxed consultation call to make sure we're the right fit and walk through your vision, priorities, and coverage options.
III. Booking.
Our booking process takes place right online, through the package list we will send you at inquiry. Choose a package, sign the contract, and submit payment.. & you're all set!
IV. Engagement Session
After booking we will send over an engagement session questionnaire. This is where we will choose a day, time, and location that fits your vision. Your engagement session is about more than beautiful photographs.
Consider this our practice run, minus the pressure.
We'll help you get comfortable in front of the camera with flattering, natural movement and intentional posing, while still leaving plenty of room for the moments that happen on their own.
By the time your wedding arrives, you'll already know exactly what it feels like to be photographed by us.
V. Planning
As your wedding gets closer, we'll work with you to create a photography timeline built around what matters most to you.
We'll plan time for beautiful portraits without letting photography take over your day, leaving plenty of room for the real moments, the people you love, and actually experiencing your wedding.
VI. Wedding Day
This is it. The day you've been waiting for.
We'll step in with calm, confident direction when you need us and step back when you don't, creating beautiful portraits while documenting the moments unfolding naturally around you.
Your only job is to be present, soak it all in, and get married. We'll take care of telling the story.
VII. Sneak peeks & delivery
Long after the flowers are gone and the music stops, this is what remains.
Your finished gallery will bring you back to the moments you remember, the ones you missed, and all the little pieces of your wedding day happening in between.
Not just photographs of how it looked, but a story of how it felt.

"If you’re looking for an incredibly fun, friendly, professional, and AMAZING photographer/videographer duo you need to hire Michelle and Michael. They blew my expectations out of the water. Our wedding day was unforgettable but with their GORGEOUS photos I will definitely never forget this beautiful day. I cannot say enough good things about these two. So easy and fun to work with. They made the day that much more fun hanging with us and capturing our special day. "

"We got married 6/2/23. M and M Terry Photography were AMAZING. I seriously cannot say enough great things about them! I found them on Instagram and they traveled across Michigan to be at our wedding. They traveled to our getting ready location and then to our venue. They truly made sure our day was so special. They made us feel so comfortable throughout our day and by the end we felt like we had known them forever. They planned out our day perfectly so we were able to capture many moments but also able to enjoy the day! We even got to do sunset pictures! We got a sneak peak the following day after the wedding and I couldn't be more obsessed with the pictures. It made me so excited to get back the rest! We HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding!!"

"Every time I sat down to write this review, I would hit a road block because I wanted to write a review that would be perfect, and honestly, I had a difficult time trying to find the right words to capture anything and everything M. and M. have done for us. After first meeting them via FaceTime, my husband and I knew we wanted to hire Michelle and Michael for our wedding. There was an instant connection between all of our personalities and we knew they would be the perfect fit. From everything leading up to the wedding, to everything after when we received our photos, just confirmed we made the right choice by hiring them for our most special day. They have such calming and energetic personalities (you're probably thinking how can someone have both, well they do) and will not only help you stay calm and stress-free on your wedding day, but will get your guests fired up and partying on the dance floor. The M. and M. team are reliable, talented, and some of the most genuine people we've ever met. Have a fear of being in front of the camera? I did too, before M. and M. were able to provide directions in making me feel both confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Michelle photographed our engagement shoot as well as my boudoir shoot, and since then our latest fall photoshoot with our first fur baby and will definitely be our go-to photographers for other major life events. As you can see, we've built a lifelong relationship with the people who gave us photos and video we will continue to view for our lifetime. Look no further, trust me."
