Kailee Marie Photography is a luxury wedding photographer specializing in documentary style storytelling through both film and digital photography.

Serving couples in Detroit, Chicago, and destination weddings worldwide.

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. I photograph weddings across Detroit, Chicago, and destinations worldwide, including fully inclusive destination experiences designed for multi-day celebrations.

Wedding collections begin at $6,800, with most couples investing $8,500–$10,000 for full-day coverage, engagement sessions, multiple photographers, guided planning, and a seamless, editorial experience.

Luxury documentary wedding photography with an editorial flare and nostalgic feel for classic and elevated couples. 

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."

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!"

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."
