Kiana & Jacob | Detroit Luxury Wedding on the Ovation Yacht
Kiana and Jacob’s wedding was a truly unforgettable celebration of love, elegance, and intimate moments in Detroit. As a Detroit luxury wedding photographer, I had the honor of capturing every detail of their day — from the anticipation of getting ready to the joyous celebration aboard the Ovation yacht.
Getting Ready in the Heart of Detroit
The day began high above the city at the Marriott in the DM Building high-rise, where Kiana and her bridal party prepared for the ceremony. Soft morning light filled the room, highlighting every intricate detail — from the delicate lace on the dress to the joyful smiles shared among friends and family. It’s these candid, unscripted moments that I treasure capturing the most.
Elegant Portraits at the DIA
After getting ready, we made our way to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) for portraits. The combination of striking architecture, natural light, and the couple’s genuine connection made for timeless, fine art images. Every glance, laugh, and quiet moment was an opportunity to create photographs that are both emotional and editorial in style.
Ceremony & Celebration on the Ovation Yacht
The highlight of the day was aboard the Ovation yacht, where Kiana and Jacob exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones and the sparkling Detroit River. The luxurious setting of the yacht combined with the intimate energy of their friends and family made for unforgettable images — capturing both grandeur and the subtle, heartfelt moments in between.
Why You’ll Love Working With Me
Kiana said it best:
“I looked through Jarrett's portfolio online and knew immediately that I wanted to work with him for our wedding. He is very easygoing in general and professional. He was with me the entire day of the wedding and his crew's presence did not feel overbearing or intruding at all. I appreciated the guidance he provided our bridal party for taking pictures and how he pays attention to detail (it would have been very disappointing for example if I was hunched over in most of my pictures and no one pointed it out to me), but Jarrett gives very helpful feedback and knows how to work very well with the lighting and other candid props in your surrounding. I very much recommend him to other brides or families looking for someone to capture their special moments!”
From start to finish, my focus is always on creating a personalized, luxury wedding photography experience that highlights the elegance, emotion, and story of each couple.
