Where It All Started...

Grand Lubell Photography began as Lubell Studio exactly 39 years ago. In the company's first two years, Bob photographed over 70 weddings. Starting out, Lubell Studio also did many commercial jobs.

This dark room, which Bob built himself, is where all of the photo processing took place when it was all done by hand. So different from how it is done today!

GLP is happy to celebrate 39 years serving you, and we look forward to many more years to come!

Shannon Reilly and Vinod Nannapaneni - Michigan Wedding Photography

GLP is known for being the most respected photographer amongst traditional ethnic families. We have compassion and understanding for the specialized needs of long time customs and traditions. Fortunately, we were given the opportunity to spend the day with Shannon and Vinod on August 28, 2010. An early Hindu wedding ceremony was held at the Hindu Temple. Later, a western ceremony was held at the home of the bride's mother.
