I'm Julia - a traveling wedding and elopement photographer based in Northwest Ohio. You deserve to have your story told in an organic way. The problem many of us face (myself included) is that so many of us find it difficult to step in front of a camera. One of my biggest passions is relieving people of that anxiety. I will get to know you for YOU, and then I'll capture it in a way that you won't even notice I have a camera in my hand. This will probably involve some craft beer, or (let's be honest), a shot of tequila. But, I'll also lead you through a series of prompts and guide you through every single step.

Julia photographed our wedding in October 2024, and I can say wholeheartedly that if you want stunning, high-quality photos and a photographer that goes above and beyond in every step leading up to your event, she is your person. I will mostly let the pictures speak for themselves, but they are exactly what I was hoping for and much more. Julia is also just all-around amazing and a total professional- she was a GREAT help with our wedding timeline, very responsive, provided so many helpful resources, and was the best hype woman you could ask for. For both our engagement pictures and the day of she brought a fantastic energy and made the whole process SO fun and completely stress-free. I can't imagine anyone else capturing our wedding day so perfectly, and couldn't recommend her enough!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Hey there! I got our USB! This is the coolest USB I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! I wanted to reach out again to tell you that you and Jed are two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. From the moment you messaged me on Facebook, you’ve been one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and I’m so thankful that I got the pleasure to have you photograph such a milestone in Greg and I’s lifetime. You both were incredibly patient and intuitive to our feelings and needs during the wedding which surpassed any expectations I could have set for a photographer. It’s apparent that you both genuinely love what you do and you both put your entire soul into each client(s) you take on. I received so many compliments from my guests regarding how professional you both were as well. I can’t begin to describe how beautiful these photos are. You put life into all of my visions for the wedding and made them into such pieces of art.

Lisa went above and beyond with every detail. She made sure my dress was positioned properly, she helped my awkward self know what to do when posing, she was so personable, and went the extra mile to keep me comfortable and feeling confident. After I made a comment about “my good side” she made sure I was always posing in ways that emphasized my good side. After receiving my preview I was so happy with how the photos came out. The pictures were clear and vibrant. She even captured candid moments that I will cherish forever. If I had to go back and do it again I would hire her 100 times over!

This is your permission slip to be unapologetically yourself on your day. Let the deep belly laughs, worst dance moves, and shameless joy be out on display. You only get married once - you sure as heck better make it weird, memorable, and uniquely yours. You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get). Someone who cares enough to capture all the big moments, but the smaller ones in between too. If you want a supportive bestie as your wedding photographer, let's get to know each other more. Send me a message to learn more about what I offer!

As a venue manager and coordinator, Laura went above and beyond communicating prior to the wedding she had at our venue. Our venue is unique and family owned and operated. We have lots of spaces and places to create photographic magic and she did not disappoint. Her professionalism and ability to help the couple feel at ease was wonderful to work with and the photos at the end were amazing. We love having her and she is a preferred vendor for us. If you are looking for a quality photographer with an even better attention to detail and CARES about you as a client…look no further :)

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Working with Eugene Svirhun as our wedding photographer was an exceptional experience from start to finish. His communication was always timely and he demonstrated an educated, professional approach that put us at ease. The quality of his work is truly exceptional - the photos he captured are natural, beautiful, and perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our special day. Eugene has a unique talent for making even the most camera-shy guests feel comfortable, bringing out their natural personalities to create truly stunning images. Not only was he professional, but he was also funny and personable, seamlessly blending into the wedding festivities. He was super flexible with the timeline, even adding extra hours at the last minute to ensure he captured every moment. We are thrilled with the beautiful artwork Eugene created that allows us to relive our wedding day perfectly.

Chris and Tyler were simply amazing to work with for our wedding photography. Extremely down to earth guys with a passion and knowledge for what they do, you’ll know you’ve made the perfect decision right off the bat.

Thanks for keeping us punctual fellas! Lol They were genuinely a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to any friend searching.

I grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

Chelsea goes above and beyond each time she was hired by myself or family for photography services.

Chelsea worked along side a videographer whom she never met with ease, and they both captured some of the best moments of my day! Chelsea has also photographed my engagement, two family sessions, and my niece and nephews 1st birthday photos.
