Welcome to something different. I’m so glad you’re here.

 

I’m Jeffrey Lewis Bennett a Detroit wedding photographer and I love my job. I’ve put my energy into creating a unique aesthetic, since 2003, while covering events all over the country. I’m looking to collaborate with couples who want to make art on their most special of days. Plus animated GIFs are my jam, as seen on HuffPost, Reddit, PopSugar, Buzzfeed, etc.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a wide variety of weddings, straight and gay, involving various flavors of the world’s religions and cultures: Christian, Muslim, Judaism, Buddhism, Orthodox, Catholic, Atheist, Chinese, Egyptian, Chaldean, Persian, Nigerian, Indian, Pakistani, etc. If your wedding is something I’ve never experienced that makes me really excited.

I approach photography through the eye of a graphic designer (my job before photography took over my life). Striving for cinematic, art-directed visuals I’m often highlighting the surroundings or architecture as much as the subjects. I also always aim for a balance of serious and fun, both candid and meticulously-arranged imagery. Couples often remark that their favorite images look like fashion or fine-art photography. Art is subjective and my style is not for everyone. If you dig it let’s make something amazing together.

I’m a great choice if you desire extensive documentation and a positive experience. I’m consistently told that working with me is easy, fun, and relaxing. On the day of I tend to focus on the couple and everyone that gravitates to them, but never ignore family, bridesmaids, groomsmen or the bigger picture of the event. It’s also nice that your photos (and GIFs) won’t look like everyone else’s.

I started making animated GIFs in 2010. At first they were just a creative outlet. I wasn't sure anyone would actually be interested in them. Turns out they pair well with social media. These days I’m making several at each session and having a blast trying to come up with new ideas. If you like the GIFs there are more in my frequently asked questions.
