Capturing Your Day as It Truly Felt
Let's freeze those fleeting moments forever.
Honest, soulful, unscripted.
You’re not just planning a wedding. You’re crafting a day that feels like you—the quiet glances, the happy tears, the wild dance moves, and the just-married glow.
Hi, I'm Kendall, the face behind Kendall Jewel Photography. I'm a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Michigan, and I’m all about telling love stories with warmth, intention, and a touch of dreamy nostalgia. My goal? To give you photos that feel real—the laughter, the quiet moments, and everything in between.
Whether you're planning a big celebration in Detroit, a lakeside vow exchange in Traverse City, or something intimate in Grand Rapids, Chicago or beyond, I'm here to document your wedding day with a calm presence and an eye for emotion.
I don’t force moments. I watch them unfold. I’m there for the nervous giggles during your vows, the tears your mom wipes away during the ceremony, and that wild dance floor energy.
Every image is hand-edited to reflect the cinematic light, tones, and emotion of your day. Think timeless, not trendy.
I offer hybrid packages with digital and 35mm film photography, bringing you the best of both worlds. Film adds a romantic, textured softness that’s impossible to replicate digitally.
From day one, I’ll help guide your wedding timeline, answer any questions along the way, and deliver sneak peeks within one week. My clients also now have access to my live editing queue, so you can see exactly where your place is in line!
Let’s face it; weddings are expensive. I don’t believe in extra fees or unnecessary hassle, which is why I’m game to customize packages or implement payment plans. Plus, every package comes with free downloads of your big day in an online gallery!

Kendall made us so comfortable and managed to capture our personalities so well... She is so thoughtful with the details in photos- both taking and editing them. We cannot speak highly enough of Kendall. If you're thinking of booking her, do it!
“We have found our lifelong photographer and could not be more grateful."
Zola
Kendall had the patience of a saint with the chaos we were working through, and was still by far the most pleasant person we worked with during our wedding season. We had extremely high expectations and she's already exceeded them with our sneak peeks!
“Book her now, I promise someone else will!"
Zola
She was so accommodating capturing our proposal; she made a long drive and hiked in the rain to stealthily acquire the most breathtaking proposal shots! She is warm, fun, and can make even the shyest people instantly comfortable.
“For any LGBT couples who are nervous about finding someone they can be their authentic selves around: Kendall is the one!"
Zola
Kendall was so easy to work with! We had initially planned to do some outdoor engagement photos, weather became a factor to where we had to consider changing that. I asked about cute cafés as an alternative and Kendall had the perfect place in mind! She made us comfortable, really picked up on our vibe and did an awesome job capturing our love for each other on camera.
“ I would work with her again and again!"
Zola
She was such a dream to work with. A wonderful person and a captivating photographer with a very beautiful style. We absolutely loved her work. She was easy to work with and very affordable, prompt on timing and her communication was top tier-- which made our elopement planning WAY less stressful. My husband and I are not picture type people, we aren't photogenic, but her process was so fun and whimsical. I forgot we were doing pictures at times. And the sneak peeks we got back are so amazing! Cannot recommend enough.
“If you are on the rocks about booking Kendall, DO IT!!!"

The Royal Package
The Royal is my love letter to the "you only live once" crowd. Whether you're planning a destination wedding and want to capture your adventures beyond the wedding day, or are super passionate about looking back on all the nostalgic vibes like polaroids, 35mm film, and a Super 8 style reel, this one is for you. I created this package for people like me, who want to tell the story of your wedding in it's entirety- coffee date on your wedding-eve and all.

add-ons
A la carte
boudoir- $450+
2nd shooter- $85/hr
instant print polaroids (30+)- $200
Additional hour- $550/hr
My boudoir sessions include a minimum of 35 images, up to 3 outfits, and usually only take an hour. This is a great way to give a spicy gift to your partner, or simply practice some well deserved self-love!
Looking for more angles, more photos, more you? A second shooter definitely is the move! If you're already interested in the Royal, Deluxe, or Standard package, no need for this as it's already included! But if you have a wedding day shorter than 8 hours and want a more versatile gallery, this one's for you.
Are you looking over my packages and feel like none of them quite fit what you're looking for, or need coverage for your rehearsal dinner/bridal shower? I offer additional hours for ultimate flexibility and customization, because your wedding story is not one-size-fits-all.
Chances are if you are passionate about my style, you're also passionate about nostalgic vibes and a vintage touch. Adding instant print polaroids is such a fun, unique way to expand the possibilities of your photo package. Delivered to you at the end of the night, you get to have some sneak peeks before the sneak peeks!
Let’s Talk Through Your Big Day to Find What’s Best!
Super 8 INSPIRED content-reel- $500
If you're here, chances are you're passionate about the vintage vibes and have a dreamy vision. I offer a highlight reel in super 8-style (recorded on iPhone as typically done for content creation, and edited to look like super-8) for that extra touch of nostalgia- always recorded in vertical format for all your social media needs.
Super 8 short film- $1200
Wanting to capture the day in the most authentically vintage way you know how? I've got you covered. With 2-3 minutes of authentic super-8 film, carefully edited and pieced together to highlight all the moments you'll want to remember forever, this add-on is such an asset to clients who are motivated by aesthetics and cinematic vibes.

Yes! I absolutely love traveling for weddings and hope to do more adventuring in the years to come. If you've got an out-of-state (or country!) wedding, no worries! Just mention your location in your inquiry so we can plan accordingly!
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, you will never have to worry about any judgment or discomfort coming from me or my team during your session. I even make sure to ask for your pronouns on my booking forms to make sure you are respected in the way you deserve from the get-go!
Absolutely! Weddings can be a hefty bill, and I like to alleviate that burden when possible. I offer 10% discounts for all packages paid in full, or payment plans to break up the package total and make it a little more digestible to my couples! If interested, ask for more info in your inquiry!
Yes I do!
I do not charge travel fees for any weddings under 1 hour away. For further weddings or all smaller sessions like couples and engagements, it is 50c/mile, round-trip.
I typically require hotel fees be covered for weddings further than 2.5 hours away, and depending on the location/mileage, may require flight to be covered for out-of-state weddings.
Not sure where you stand in this? No worries, just reach out and ask!
