More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We used Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. for our wedding and engagement photos, and they were amazing from start to finish. Their communication was clear, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was efficient, stunning, and highly personalized to our style. They sent us multiple photographer options to choose from, and we went with Sabatani, who captured every moment of our special day beautifully. OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

Besides marrying my husband, hiring Drzazga Photo as our photographer and videographer was the best decision I made! To say that Carly and Kasey were outstanding is an understatement.

He is reasonable, experienced and his end results do all the talking for him. His images captured everything that many use editing gadgets to portray. A simple black and white portrait makes you feel what a thousand colors may struggle to. Barry thank you so much for the amazing work you do.

Snowdrop Creative Co.

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

Alex photographed AND officiated our little last minute Vegas elopement and we had so much fun! She was incredibly creative and got some of the coolest shots. She even managed to capture those sweet little moments you didn’t even know you’d want photos of. She made the whole process easy, fun, STRESS FREE and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. The photos and videos turned out amazing!!! Thank you Alex!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
These ladies are phenomenal! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From our first chat over zoom, we knew instantly that we could trust them and that they would capture us, not just a one-size-fits-all deal. They truly capture each couple in their own unique way and you can tell just by looking at their work. I’m so glad we did an engagement shoot first, because it got all the nerves out for us and we got to build more of a relationship with them before our day. We are not people who like being in front of cameras, but their enthusiasm and professionalism put us, especially me, at instant ease! The photos turned out great even with it being an unforcasted rainy and unusually hot fall day. And the wedding, holy moly! They had to wrangle all sorts of family dynamics and chaos while still taking beautiful photos in the rain. Not sure how that happened, but they made it all seem so easy and we had so much fun with them! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! …Not one thing! We received our first look photos in no time after the wedding and we are in love already. Can’t wait to see the rest! We will definitely be contacting them again in the future. Wherever you are in your photographer search (and reading reviews like this), just stop and set up a chat now. You will not be disappointed!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since.

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kirsten was incredible! She did such an amazing job, we couldn’t have been happier. She is so great to work with, and she ensured that we had great photos and lots of them. Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Hey!! I'm Eden :) I am a documentary style wedding photographer who loves the unique, thoughtful weddings where people do what's true to them. I love my work to be a collaboration of ideas between me and my couples to create something truly special and meaningful to them. All of my best friends are past brides and fellow photographers, and I love getting to share in such an important season with so many amazing people every year. I've been diving into shooting film photos the past few years and love the element it adds to a final wedding gallery as well. I love getting to know who people are and letting that shine through the photos.

Eden is seriously absolutely amazing! She makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure you get the best poses! I sent her poses that we liked from Pinterest and she had them ready on her phone for the wedding! I love her style of editing, she’s SO NICE, so easy to get ahold of, and she got our wedding sneak peeks back to us at midnight... the same night of our wedding!! Her husband Mitch does videos so if you want a great photo/video package, they are perfect to work with. I could not recommend her and her husband enough!

Jenna Rosalie Photography

  • Serves Athens, OH

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

I am so thankful we booked Jenna for our June 2021 wedding! We originally were looking for a Columbus based engagement photographer to take some pictures of us on OSU campus and were going to find a new photographer for our Cleveland wedding, but we fell in love with Jenna and booked her to travel with us! Jenna and Brett helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and were a joy to work with all day. When we had to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021, they could not have been more understanding. I am absolutely obsessed with my photos and so are all my family and friends! Book Jenna for your wedding - you will not regret it!!

As photographers and videographers, we celebrate the depths and layers to your story, crafting keepsakes that transport you through every emotion and moment. We’re always seeking the extraordinary in the ordinary and honoring the perfectly imperfect – everything that makes your love so undeniably yours.

My fiance and I did a photo shoot (with our pups) with Sarah and she made it an INCREDIBLE experience. She had us laughing, she cheered us on, posed us in ADORABLE ways we've never been posed before, but most importantly caught a lot of "in the moment" shots which end up being the best! Sarah is creative, kind, optimistic, talented, and treats all her clients like they're a member of her family. She goes out of her way to make sure your pictures are everything you want them and more, and is incredibly resourceful with location suggestions.

Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Athens, OH

Sarah is an internationally featured editorial, elopement and wedding photographer from the United States who is based out of the Greater Pittsburgh, PA area. She has been invited into British Vogue and has her degrees in photography. She lives in a quirky 100-year-old house with her husband, Chef Jeremy Thomas and their daughter, Vienna Faye.

We booked Sarah in 2018, over two years prior to our wedding date, because we were so eager to have a photographer who could shoot us candidly and still make each photo look like a dream. Sarah took our wedding pictures in October 2020. Our wedding was, obviously, affected by the pandemic but I knew that having beautiful pictures to commemorate the day would make the chaos surrounding it worthwhile - and Sarah DEFINITELY delivered. She managed to wrangle my husband’s rowdy group of groomsmen and get them to properly participate throughout the day, a feat in and of itself after we’d all been cooped up since March. My husband and I find ourselves constantly looking back at our album, and we’ve received many compliments on our pictures in the last two years. We found out we were expecting our first baby on our 1st wedding anniversary in October 2021, and right away we knew Sarah was the only one who could capture our maternity pictures flawlessly. We drove 2 hours and I hiked up and down a hill barefoot (my own fault, hehe) while 34 weeks pregnant to get *the best* pictures ever - which is surprising, since I was certain nothing could top our wedding pictures. Sarah has a way of making you feel comfortable and glamorous at the same time. I do not consider myself to be photogenic, but somehow she always manages to capture something stunning time and time again. She will be with us through all our life events if I have any day in the matter - I can’t recommend her more.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

My wedding day was exactly how I imagined it to be! Arie was on it the whole time, and I honestly didn’t even notice! She caught some great shots without being “in the way”. I worked with her for about a year, and she was ALWAYS available for questions anytime! We did a couple of zoom calls as well during the process. I felt so comfortable with her the entire day and as I said, she got so many shots I had no idea she was even there for! She was everything I wanted and more! She fit right in with my family as well! I highly recommend Arie for your wedding, if you are in the Midwest! I feel like we walked away as friends, and the pictures are stunning!

Having Leah shoot our wedding was epic!! She really captured the mood of our wedding and took the reins, finding the most gorgeous spots around the venue for our photos. Looking back at the photos we were in awe, she captured all of the most special moments, even when we weren’t aware of her presence! She was easy going which made us feel so comfortable and she gave us some direction which was so helpful for us! Thanks again Leah!
