Metro Detroit's Most Trusted Wedding Photographer, DJ & Videographer! Hey there! Congratulations on your engagement! … and now the wedding planning fun begins.

And, let’s be honest, so does the stress. I know you want to have a truly awesome wedding… and you have to stay in budget. That means you have loads of decisions ahead of you not only what services to go with, but also who to hire. Most couples find it takes a shocking amount of time to find wedding vendors to match their style and price point—researching them, visiting their websites, checking fo

r reviews, requesting quotes. It can be an overwhelming process, and most couples second-guess themselves along the way. After all, you have just one go at this thing and you want your wedding to be remembered for the right reasons. Here’s the bottom line: Getting engaged is incredible. Being married is (mostly) amazing. But planning a wedding? That can be stressful. At Mike Staff Productions, we believe wedding planning should be fun and exciting. For more than two decades, we’ve helped couples just like you simplify the process, eliminate the headaches, and significantly reduce the stress of choosing three important wedding vendors: your photographer, DJ, and videographer. Here’s how we’ve earned more than 600 5-star reviews and a sought after spot in The Knot Hall of Fame... for 15 years straight:

- First, we’re relentless in vetting the photographers, videographers, and DJs who work with us. We have super high standards and it is really tough to get on our team. On average, less than 10% of applicants pass our robust, 118-point certification process, which means when you hire one of our experienced pros, you get the best of the best of the best.

- Second, when you bundle services with us, we approach your once-in-a-lifetime day as a team. Our photographers, DJs, and videographers work together to bring your wedding vision to life—coordinating with one another, so you don’t have to. It’s a huge time-saver, too: Imagine making one phone call to book three key wedding services.

- Finally, we expect the unexpected with our for-real back-up plan. You’ll have paid professionals standing by to cover any imaginable or unimaginable “just in case.”

When you work with us, it’s simple to get wedding vendors who nail it:
First, lets talk so we can chat about your wedding vision and you can decide if we’re a good fit. If so, we’ll help you choose your photographer, videographer, or DJ—or any money-saving combination of the three. We have more than 100 pros on our team with a thousand years of combined experience—and they’re all genuinely wonderful people… the kind you’d actually invite to your wedding. And here’s the big win: You’ll get a kick-ass wedding. With our disaster-free guarantee, you can rest easy knowing your day will be everything you’ve dreamed of—and more. So stop worrying about your wedding day going off the rails, and don’t waste time and energy trying to vet your own vendors. We’ve done all that work for you, and we’ll make sure you stay in budget, wow your guests, and love your wedding. Let’s talk. We can’t wait to hear more about your big day!

Okay, story time…

So I was chatting with one of our brides, Hailey, and guess what?

Turns out her BFF, Alexandra, another Mike Staff Productions bride from 2022, was the one who spilled the tea: ‘You have to book with Mike Staff!’ 😍

These besties have been ride-or-die for over 15 years, both stood up in each other's weddings and they even recreated a pic from her friend’s wedding at Hailey’s—because duh, besties who book weddings together, slay together 💍
