HELLO, I’M

LOURDEZ

a destination wedding and portrait photographer based in Detroit, privileged to capture love stories worldwide. My style blends timeless elegance with authentic storytelling— documenting your moments with the care and artistry they deserve.

I’ve always had a natural instinct to capture the candid moments that felt too special to let slip away. At just 8 years old, I would watch my family laugh and enjoy each other's company, I remember quietly snapping photos without them even noticing. Even then, I understood that these were more than just photos being taken—they were my way to encapsulate emotions, preserve legacies, and tell stories that last for generations.

From the editorial, fashion-forward details, to the quick and fleeting moments of your dad’s happy tears—I focus on every layer of your day.

My passion lies in capturing those "in-between moments"—from candid smiles to subtle glances, the silent yet beautiful details are meticulously captured. I know when to step in to pose and direct you for those effortlessly chic, timeless portraits, and when to fade into the background, allowing your moments to unfold naturally. The result is a gallery that feels refined, yet deeply personal—photos that will transport you back to the emotions of your day for years to come.

It is a privilege to be entrusted with documenting such a meaningful day, and I would be honored to document yours!

xo, Lourdez
