Wedding Photography

Chuck’s quick response and quotation were both very positive . Once we started to work together to plan our daughter’s day , I knew we had made an excellent choice . Nick , the photographer made our small affair seem like a very important and elegant affair . Nock’s photo are created , brilliant and colorful . The photos capture the day beautifully for our family.
Nick arrived promptly before the set time and worked until we all felt the event had been well captured .
The photos arrived within a week after our event and now, we look for and to viewing with our children
Nick was supportive, kind and he is very talented .
We hope to work with Lewis Studios for future events!

Wedding Photography

Everything went very easy and smooth. Picture's and video came out nice. Few things that I didn't care for.
1. Finally payment. We set a date to make the final payment. They still called looking for it before the date we had agreed on.
2. Shipping of the thumb drives. Original they wanted to charge for shipping of each thumb drive and payment was in advance. They ended up shipping them together for the same price.
3. Thumb drives were said to be high quality drives. They are micro center cheap drives. Although micro center sales a decent drive, that I use personal. I wouldn't ever call them high quality.
I would recommend them. If I ever needed a photographer again, I would definitely contact them again.

Reply from Lewis Portraits since 1937 (88 years)

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lopez, Thank You for your REVIEW stating that " everything went very easy and smooth " and that you " would recommend and use us again ". Glad to hear you liked our work and service. That's always our sincere goal at LEWIS PORTRAITS on EVERY EVENT coverage for our Family's nearly NINETY (90) YEARS now (since 1937)! Your business is appreciated. In reply to your several points: 1) The Studio ALWAYS calls to verify Studio appointment times which can ( and often are ) easily forgotten with people's busy lives; especially when planning an important ( possibly stressful ) Special Event like a Wedding. We were glad to be very flexible in accepting your final payment on that Monday 10.21.24 only 4 days before your Wedding date of Friday10.25.24. You asked for this arrangement and we did not expect payment any sooner. Happy to work with your request. 2) Client's are given an option to receive their Photography/Video finished work with a pick-up at our Birmingham Studio at NO CHARGE ...or...to have it conveniently SHIPPED ( which is by far their usual choice as we have customers from all over Lower Michigan ). With your work schedule Mr. Lopez it was most convenient to have us ship your THUMBDRIVES. We had both your PHOTOGRAPHS ( a very full coverage of over 2,000 pictures...2,024 to be exact ) and your Video ( a very Professionally edited and prepared full TWO HOURS length Video PLUS a BONUS SHORT HIGHLIGHT REEL sent in a presentation gift box) ready in a lightning fast 18 days ( under 3 weeks ). Only charge being a nominal $10.00 to cover Postage/Photomailer/Insurance/Handling and certified Tracking...delivered to you in just 2 days. 3) Finally, we have generally used the same good quality media storage FLASHDRIVES for LITERALLY hundreds of Events over recent years with exactly ZERO issues or problems. It should please be noted, however, that Client's should NEVER rely solely on ANY particular brand of flashdrive to be 100% reliable and failure proof long term. We always suggest, and it's commonly known, that your Event coverage media be BACKED UP to your personal computer's own hard drive PLUS possibly a second storage source too such as another external storage device for " future insurance". Additionally, we maintain a copy* of your Event on our Studio files for a reasonable period of time as well should you or Family or guests want copy's. THANK YOU once more for hiring our services. We continue to do our best to offer Quality work...topnotch service and all at some of the most reasonable pricepoints available for several generations of valued customer's. Sincerely~ LEWIS PORTRAITS since 1937.

I am so pleased with Lewis Portraits and would love to book them again in the future! My team hired them to shoot a speaking event at University of Michigan. Chuck was very detail-oriented, flexible and spent a lot of time with us understanding our vision to ensure they provided the best possible photos. It's easy to tell this family business has a lot of heart and genuinely cares about their customers. Our photographer, Nick, was early, extremely professional and kind and delivered very impressive, high-quality photographs that we can't wait to post! It was a great experience overall and we highly recommend their services. Thank you Chuck and Nick! More...

If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. Their friendliness, customer service, and quality is the best. Lewis portraits did a garden wedding for us and the photos were beyond compare. Nick started by working with the bride as she was getting ready getting and moved out into the garden to take candid pre-ceremony shots. The shots of the ceremony were varied and priceless. Post ceremony he went above and beyond to take a variety of shots with the couple and with families amongst the flowers and woods backgrounds. We had several shots of some of the same poses from which to choose. Nick was very personable yet professional. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Lewis Portraits. More...

Honestly, we first looked at this company because of its affordable price, but absolutely were blown away by the professionalism and attention to detail! This company is phenomenal! We had Nick as our photographer for our (2nd) wedding, and he was amazing! Very friendly and personable. I was so nervous on my day, but Nick reassured me, made me laugh, and helped me to relax and enjoy every moment. Because of this, our photos turned out wonderful!! The owner of the company Chuck, was very thorough and kept in contact throughout the entire process. We received high quality photos (flash drive) within 10 days of our wedding. We HIGHLY RECOMNEND this company! Thank you Chuck and Nick for making our wedding day unforgettable!! More...

We found Lewis Portraits on Bark. Never used the app before and we were very reluctant at first. We were surprised when Chuck called us the next day. It was the best move hiring Lewis Portraits for our wedding. Chuck assigned us Nick who went above and beyond helping make our picture perfect wedding preserved for life. Chuck worked with us on keeping our price in budget and following up to make sure we were happy with the photos. Thanks Lewis Portraits for everything. More...

Chuck is a very friendly and accommodating man! He's very understanding and will do everything to meet your wishes and needs. It's a family business since 87 years and you indeed get the family feel! I had a last minute change and he was able to send another coworker, and he did a great job with photography and edited a beautiful small video in the end. I recommend working with Lewis Portraits :-) More...

Wedding Videography

Wedding Videography

I read that one of the biggest regrets that a couple can have about their wedding is that they didn’t hire a videographer. I was adamant about having one although my husband wasn’t. After contacting a couple of people who never got back to me, I made my husband look for one. He contacted a few vendors, but Lewis Portraits actually initiated contact with him.

Although we were in talks with some other videographers, it was partly Lewis Portraits’s communication style that made us choose them. While talking to the owner, Chuck, I felt like we mattered. Chuck is very personable, friendly, and communicative. When talking to other potential video vendors, we didn’t feel cared about. It just seemed like we were another number to them. Chuck and Lewis Portraits is the complete opposite; they actually care about you and your important day. They treat you for what you are, people, not a business transaction.
Communication was constant. We talked about once a week. Chuck wanted to make sure that he had all the correct information and our requests written down, that we hadn’t changed our mind on anything. It made us feel like we were important, that we were not forgotten about, and still had our place with them. This was really nice considering other vendors may not talk to you for months, which can be worrisome.

The videographers, Nick and Austin, were great. Nick called us a couple of times before the wedding to confirm the details. On the day of the wedding the videographers just did their thing, recording everything. We hardly noticed them there. Some vendors have very set and specific rules for the day of the wedding. Lewis Portraits is very flexible. We did not know how much time we would need the videographers for the reception, so they allowed us to make the decision in real time, staying longer at the reception after the initial agreed-upon time. It was so kind of Chuck, and the videographers, to be willing to do that. That is great service!

The final product was on 2 flash drives that were mailed to us in a carefully wrapped package. When watching the videos, it is obvious they cared not just about their work but also about us and our special day. You can see the effort and care the videographers put in during filming and the number of creative decisions they made. They did not just film the action, but also the setup of what the place looked like. They also captured angles and moments that the photographers missed.

Therefore, I am glad we hired a videographer. We couldn’t have asked for better service. It was a pleasure working with Lewis Portraits because they are very genuine. We chose one of the best because not only did they do a great job and had a fair price, but also because they went above and beyond. It is rare nowadays to find vendors who are not just professional and value your business, but who are also personable, caring, thoughtful, and communicative. If you want a vendor who will care about your day as much as you do, and work hard to make your day the best it can be, then choose Lewis Portraits!

Chuck was great to deal with for our wedding. The price was good and he was amazing at communication through the whole process.

Nick (the photographer) was also amazing! We ended up with over 1,500 pictures from a 6 hour shoot. Some shots were very creative and others were your classic wedding shots.

We couldn’t be happier we had Lewis Photography (and Nick) shoot our wedding!

Absolutely amazing! Chuck was always on the ball when working with us to get everything set up and organized and even gave us a flexible payment plan which was very much appreciated. And Nick, our photographer, called us beforehand to get all the details ironed out which was amazing too. On the day of our wedding, Nick was absolutely exceptional - his photos turned out so well and he was very professional and nice. We got a lot of our guests saying our photographer was amazing! Not to mention, our wedding was pretty far out of the way from where Lewis Portraits normally works, so their flexibility there was fantastic. We are so glad we chose Lewis Portraits - working with them from start to finish was fantastic. Thank you Chuck and Nick! More...

These are excellent people to work with! I arranged to have a family portrait done. This involved 13 people ranging in age from 6 months to 78 years. The photographer had the patience of a saint and took a variety of shots in all different groupings. Chuck, the owner, answered all my questions, was very clear about what the cost would be and delivered the final product in a very timely manner. All of the photos we selected are beautiful and will become cherished family mementos. More...

Our Mom’s Memorial Service. We found ourselves being faced with the passing of our beloved Mom and putting all the pieces into place while we live 1,200 miles away.
It was important for us to have a permanent record of Mom’s service and also the family and friends who were gathering.
After a lengthy search I found Lewis Portraits and made contact with Chuck Lewis, (Owner).
Chuck was instantly responsive to our need and most sincere in his compassion and kindness. We were immediately comforted in knowing that we were in very competent hands to have Mom’s Memorial Service video taped.
We were placed with one of Lewis’s top videographers, Dianne. She was very communicative prior to our Service; then, showed up even earlier than she was scheduled. She was very courteous to our needs as a family and graciously sought out what was most important to us .
Dianne was totally a professional and immediately went to work to prep the site and be ready for videotaping. We engaged her for an additional 2 hours.
We were so thrilled to learn that the editing was done immediately and Chuck ensure that it was mailed to us within one business week. We could not expect a better outcome form this company!
Lewis Portraits provided us with a finished product that was exceptionally well done, with the musical selection that we provided. What a beautiful and memorable record we now have for our family’s history .
Thank you Dianne and Chuck. Lewis Portraits captured the essence and heart of our family time and we are forever grateful!

Q&As

Composition! Capturing in each image what is important for that Photograph to convey at your Event...so that even one image can potentially tell a story all by itself. We have on display at our Studio between 8 and 12 beautiful complete Wedding and general Event albums at any given time for Client's to see what style(s) we can offer. We also Upgrade and modifying our professional Equipment regularly to maintain 'cutting edge' topnotch capability and quality.

How much of their special Event do they wish to capture. We offer packages that provide service for as little as 2 hour to 7 hours (and more). Do they have specific photographs in mind...have they considered appointing a Coordinator to assist in pointing out any special requests that they might have. What is their budget? We have many pre-set packages...or we can often custom design a package to meet nearly any budget. WE WELCOME ALL COMPETITVE BIDS...high quality work at affordable price is and has always been our way of doing business. We want to earn your business.

We take our work very seriously. We are often only given one chance to capture all the important activity. Although there is this high level of responsibility...it is nonetheless enjoyable and gratifying to often be called back by other Family members or friends for future Event coverages. In some cases we are called to return to an important Family Event for the Children or even Grandchildren of those from decades ago!

Our Father started our original Family Studio in 1937...over 82 years ago! After an exciting road-trip he took to California in 1936 he explored and was "bitten" by the Photography and Film 'bug'. It was the heyday of the old Hollywood film industry on the West Coast and Dad studied and brought back skills to start our Studio here in Michigan. Since then, we have served most of the Metro Detroit area...and Northern Ohio.

Why choose LEWIS PORTRAITS? Longevity for one reason. In operation since the 1930's. Photographers and Videographers who average 10 years to over 30 years of training and know-how experience. Up to date Photo and video equipment utilized. We still receive much of our business by 'word of mouth' advertising...we think that says a lot about our reputation. We welcome all competitor bids. Many may be matched or even beat. Good work at a fair price was Dad's core objective.
