Jean is amazing to work with! Not only does she have such a vision when working with couples but she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My fiancé (now husband) and I worked with her for our engagement session and our wedding day. We are so happy with the photos we received from her! 10/10 couldn’t recommend a better photographer! -

Artistic Photographer with Awesome Personality
Jean is AMAZING- both as a photographer and as a person. When we first reached out, she immediately made us feel comfortable and we knew she would be perfect as our wedding day photographer. She was informative and stayed in touch/ updated us on the process from the very beginning. She gave us feedback and suggestions on first look locations and timelines, which was SO helpful as we had no idea what we were doing! Her eye and artistic ability is unreal. We completely trusted her to capture our day and we were blown away with what she delivered. Our pictures are beyond perfect and captured the feelings and love that were present the entire day. I could write a whole book on how great of a photographer she is but I think her photos speak for themselves (make sure to check out her Instagram and blog). Lastly- she was able to corral our 10 groomsmen and 10 bridesmaids throughout the entire day which is a HUGE task just in itself. We 10/10 recommend Jean and we can’t wait to use her as our photographer in the future. -

Jean was an absolute dream to work with! We hired her for engagement and wedding photos, and were were so thrilled with her collection 3 option. Her energy, professionalism, and talent is unmatched. She artfully captures raw emotion and candid shots, but also knows just how to set the scene. My husband and I felt comfortable and had so much fun working with her, we truly felt like she was a friend coming to our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough! -

Simply perfect
When my now husband and I first got engaged the one thing we knew for certain was that Jean Smith had to photograph our special day. It started out with an incredible session in Detroit for our engagement photos-I knew after that two hour session she was the right choice! (There was never a doubt in my mind). Jean is talented, professional, and FUN! We were so nervous-thinking we must be the most awkward and stiff couple she’d ever captured. Her kind demeanor put us at ease right away.
Fast forward to fall 2020-our big wedding day has been turned upside down. Jean was a constant for us throughout the entire pandemic. She reached out numerous times to check in and see how we were doing! Not even business related-just making sure we were holding up all right and that she had our back, no matter what we decided to do. Rob and I ended up having the wedding of our dreams and then some-albeit short 275 people. Many thanks to Jean for being a huge part of that. Our photos are simply perfect. She has an eye like I’ve never seen from other photographers. We can not say enough good things about her. If you are looking for someone to capture pure magic on your big day-Jean Smith is the person for the job. -

Hire Jean Now!
Hire Jean Now!! We worked with Jean for our engagement and wedding photo's and cannot be happier with the finish product! She made both experiences so relaxing and lead the direction of the shoot, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. I plan to work with Jean for any future photoshoots we may have. -

Kelly W. Sent on 02/14/2021So lucky to have Jean on this crazy wedding journey with us!
We are beyond thrilled to be working with Jean for our wedding photography. After looking through numerous Michigan-based photographers, we chose to reach out to Jean because of her gorgeous, light, almost documentary-like style that mixed unique with traditional. We felt an instant connection chatting with her on the phone and with how detailed she is, while at the same time being extremely flexible and listening to how we envisioned our background and pose ideas. Our engagement photos are just beautiful - we wanted a lot -- photos with our dogs and around a few Detroit locations w/ outfit changes on a super windy, cold day. You would never even know how cold we were or that my dress broke during one outfit change. What could have been a disaster is now just a funny story -- Jean is such a calming, funny, warm person. Now, fast forward to 2020/21, we are on our 3rd wedding postponement and Jean has been there for us the entire way. While we are still waiting on a bigger wedding celebration later this year, we decided to get officially married in a "minimony" celebration in our backyard. Jean worked out a special package for us for the day, but also came to our minimony early, stayed late, kept us on track and really let us soak in the moment. Our photos are incredible and we are just so lucky to have her on this crazy journey with us! -

Best decision we made for our wedding.
Where to start... Jean is amazing. When I first saw Jean's work on Instagram I loved her style, tone, and editing. I quickly went on her website to inquire about booking her. Her response time was fast and we set up a call within days. From our first conversation on the phone I felt confident that she was the right choice. Doing all payments and forms online made the process smooth and easy to navigate. She was a huge help with the day-of scheduling and planning. Jean was very warm and friendly when she arrived on my wedding day, keeping the mood fun and easy. Her and her assistant laughed and celebrated along with us. Then the photos came and OMG they were amazing. I loved every single one! She even did a slideshow for us, which I have watch too many times. Thank you Jean for capturing our wedding so perfectly. -

Jean is INCREDIBLE!! We could not be happier with our wedding photos. She was fun and easy to work with. We really wanted to focus on being in the moment, so it meant so much to us to have a photographer that we trusted to capture the day in such an authentic and beautiful way. We still get so many compliments on our wedding photos and will definitely be hiring her again in the future! -

Brianna Sent on 02/01/2020Stunning and special photos for our big day
Jean is an INCREDIBLE talent. She was recommended to me by two different people and I fell in love with her Instagram feed from the start. She took our engagement photos in NYC and wedding photos in Detroit and they are just absolutely breathtaking. She is so warm and welcoming and made us feel so comfortable from the second we met her, and made some recommendations that made our wedding day go so smoothly (doing a first look, for example!). In fact I plan to hire her again soon for family photos! -

Abby W. Sent on 05/17/2020Amazing photographer! So fun to work with and the end product is incredible!
Jean Smith is the absolute best! We hired her for our wedding in October 2016 (yes, this review is long overdue but it is never too late to rave about an amazing experience!). We went with the wedding package that includes an engagement session and at that time my husband and I were living in New York City. Jean had a trip to NYC in the spring of 2016 and was super accommodating to be able to fit in our engagement pictures while she was there. Instantly upon meeting Jean, she made us feel comfortable with her warm and fun personality! The pictures turned out incredible and since we no longer live in there, it is so fun being able to look back at them and reminisce about our time in that amazing city! Skip forward to the fall and our wedding day, Jean and her assistant did a beautiful job capturing the joy of the entire day! She has an incredible eye for capturing intimate moments in a unique but natural way. I can 100% promise that you will not regret the decision to go with Jean as your photographer!!! -
