The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

My main markets are Columbus Ohio, Palm Springs, California, Hawaii, and Florida, BUT I LOVE and am willing to travel farther. I’m not one of those photographers who just decided one day to pick a camera up and just start doing weddings, Photography has been my entire life, this is my 15th year capturing wedding experiences for my brides. I love telling your authentic story.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is a tad late but I got married in November 2024 and booking with Bree Lea Photography was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day. Bree's communication style is clear, welcoming, understanding, and creative. Her work is meticulous, intentional, high-quality, and priceless. Bree made sure our wedding day felt seamless and not rushed - she even traveled to different locations to photograph our wedding party hours before the ceremony. Bree had continuous communication leading up to our big day and never made us feel stressed. She even helped create our wedding day schedule when we didn't know where to start! She found herself in the city of my wedding while she was on VACATION and told me she scouted it for the best shooting areas...did I mention she was on VACATION? She went above and beyond with amazing communication, stellar photographs, and on top of that she has a kind soul and was an absolute treasure to work with. You would be lucky to book with such a talented, fun, relatable photographer for your big day! I'll def be reaching out to her again for smaller shoots in the future.

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Defiance, OH

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

We’re Sandra and Nichole – two Gemini sisters ready to document your love story. Our vibe is romantic, modern, and timeless. We're a perfect blend of editorial and documentary. We bring your vision to life on both digital and film.

Awarded Best of Zola
It took me months to come up with the words to describe our experience with the Gemini girls because perfection just didn't seem like enough. From day one these ladies were not only easy to communicate with, but even better, they were so much freaking fun. We never had an encounter that wasn't filled with laughter and genuine friendship. And while they got down to business when they arrived on the day of the wedding, they were still full of energy that every single one of us fed off of. When things started to veer off schedule, they always got things back to running smoothly. And when I panicked because I didn't have my vows for my first look, Nichole calmly reminded me that I was going to see my dad first and didn't need my vows yet (oops, lol). As if having them around on our perfect day wasn't enough itself, they are also incredibly talented, have an amazing eye and provided us with the most stunning pictures that we will cherish forever. If you want top tier photos of your wedding day while working with a team that is fun and down to earth but will work their butts off for you.. these are your girls. Sandra, Nicole and Amanda.. we love you and can't thank you enough.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

I am Kimberly Hibbard. Why am I a photographer? After I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Hearing-Impaired Education, I didn't plan to be a photographer until one day. I picked up my camera and took some random pictures. I posted some pictures on FB and several friends told me, "Girl! Seriously, you need to start a photography business and I need a family session! " Here I am. I have been doing it for seven years now, over 100 weddings and I love it!! I have amazing clients and I consider them to be family.

Awarded Best of Zola
Professional, fun and a joy to work with. She captures the smallest of details and the excitement of the day. Color balance/skin tones ensure that no one is “blown out” in photos. Editing skills are great. You won’t regret hiring Kimberly!

A.G. Photography is a wedding and lifestyle photography company located in Dayton, OH. Owner and lead photographer Alex Grodkiewicz is a talented professional that takes joy in capturing life’s precious moments. He crafts evocative images that allow his cherished clients to relive their day again and again for decades to come. A.G. Photography aims to put couples first, honoring their one-of-a-kind love stories throughout every element of their service. Alex draws on over 8 years of rich experience and has served countless clients since starting his business.

We looked at TONS of photographers, and they either had photos that were very heavily saturated in the new brown filter or were 10k. We found AG photography, and we’re over the moon. His portfolio was amazing and the price was very very reasonable. Alex truly did such a phenomenal job capturing the most special day I cannot say enough great things. He took the time to understand what I was looking for in a photographer and matched the style we were looking for. Our photographer was the last thing we were ever worried about, we knew we were in great hands with Alex. We left right after our reception to go to our honey moon, and by the time we had landed, Alex sent me 4 “teaser” pics. He met with me before hand to get a timeline and anything specific we were looking bc to have photographed making the day so seamless. When we got the whole album back (less than 2 WEEKS!!!) there was not one thing I wished was different. He truly has a talent for what he does and he was such a key component in our day and just made it so stress free. We will forever cherish the photos he took. I could go on and on about how fantastic and how over joyed I am with the outcome. We had a second photographer we booked with Alex, Josh, and he was just as equally amazing. He stayed with the guys a majority of the day, and my husband said he was amazing and so kind. I would not have trusted anyone else with my wedding, and if I had to do it all over again, Alex would be the first vendor I would book. I recommend him to all of our friends and anyone who will listen. Truly remarkable Alex, thank you for everything.

I am a photographer in Tiffin, Ohio but am willing to travel. I photograph almost anything from weddings to family portraits to senior pictures! I am 21 years old who is up for new challenges and excited to photograph anything I can.

We had such a wonderful experience working with HLS Photography for our wedding! Hannah and was easy-going, friendly, and very flexible throughout the entire process. From the moment we booked with her, she made us feel at ease and confident that our special day would be beautifully captured. Hannah took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, even having us provide a "shot list" to ensure she got every single photo we desired. She was with us every step of the way, seamlessly following us from location to location to make sure she didn't miss any single perfect moment. The quality of the photos were outstanding, and the turnaround time was way faster than I could have ever anticipated. We were so pleased with the final gallery and felt like we got incredible value for the very affordable package we purchased. I would highly recommend HLS Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to make their wedding day unforgettable.

Christy Gibson is a visual storyteller whose work is rooted in emotion, and memories. As an adopted child, Christy grew up questioning her identity, finding solace and meaning in the stories of her family and stories of others.

This loss solidified her commitment to remembering and capturing all of life's magic. Through her work, she seeks to help others preserve their legacies. A true lover of love stories.

Christy is hands down the best! From the very beginning to the very end of our wedding day, she was wonderful to work with in every aspect. She was always helpful and willing to answer any questions we had throughout the planning process. She was always so thorough and organized planning our day of timeline and managing to get all of the family pictures we requested.
