A one-of-a-kind

Experience


Rooted in Heart & Hospitality

The Gooding’s are photographers based in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, serving the Midwest and beyond. More than anything, we believe your wedding should feel just as beautiful as it looks.

With a calm, grounding presence and a genuine passion for people, we create space for you to be fully present — to laugh, cry, breathe, and celebrate. We don’t just show up to photograph another wedding. We show up to honor your story — to see you as people, not a timeline — and to capture the deeply personal moments that make your day unforgettable.

Our approach is rooted in kindness, hospitality, and intentional connection. From our very first conversation to the final gallery delivery, we’re here to serve with grace, purpose, and quiet confidence. You can trust us to document your day with an artistic eye and a heart full of care — so you can soak in every second, knowing your memories are in loving hands.

Because to us, it’s never just about photos. It’s about how it feels to be known, celebrated, and truly seen.


Words truly cannot express the appreciation I have for Marla! [She] is the nicest, most easy-going, fun, and positive person I have met! She made my husband, and I feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot as well as our wedding (we are not picture people). Marls is in constant communication, has a great eye for detail, and sticks to her word with timelines of receiving photos, etc.… I couldn’t be happier with our photos if I tried. If you’re on the fence about who to book for a wedding photographer, please let this be your sign!
