Nick Finochio Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves Defiance, PA

Hi! My name is Nick. I fell in love with photography as a child through my love for music; I was obsessed with album covers and photos that would draw my eye and immediately tell me a story. I have a passion for art and my way of expressing it has always been through music and photography. I love hanging out with my friends and being social. Going out to dinner, having drinks, and spending time with my family are a few of my favorite things.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nick several times over the years. (I do wedding videography) He is definitely my top photographer I recommend to people! Nick is very quick at capturing beautiful photos. He always knows exactly where to go and what shots he needs so you can spend less time taking pictures and more time enjoying your day!

I have been putting my decade plus of expertise into each and every one of you, from your morning mimosa to the last dance of the night. Wether we’re here in Ohio or deep in the mountains, I’ll follow where your heart leads you. Wedding days can be fleeting no matter how you spend them and you deserve someone who builds slow moments and quick thinking into the timeline. When it's all said and done, your photos will gift you the ability to be right back in those memories and reliving the joys from the day it became the two of you, forever.

Ashley Ludwig Photo was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was very responsive - she was there for us every step of the way, making us feel comfortable and ensuring our specific vision for the photos was exceeded. The quality of her work is astonishing, a true 100/10. She was so easy to collaborate with and helped capture the magic of our special day perfectly.

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Defiance, PA

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
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His 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. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

Hello! We are a husband and wife company. We have covered over 1000 weddings in less than 5 years all across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

Lucid Memories Photography by Delycia 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Defiance, PA

I’m a high energy self taught photographer, I started this beautiful journey 4 years ago. Lucid Memories Photography by Delycia has been published in about 15 portrait magazines and participated in countless collaborations with other great small businesses in my area. I fell in love with telling couples love stories so quickly! There was something about photographing two people in love and telling their story. I firmly believe your photos should show you and your partners personalities. There’s nothing better than being able to be comfortable, and act like yourself for those lifelong pictures!

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough words to describe the absolute icon that is Delycia. My husband and I initially reached out to her because she had photographed weddings at our original venue, and we were completely sold after looking through her portfolio. Her moody, emotional, and intimate photos were exactly what we envisioned. We are not “cookie-cutter” wedding photo people, and with every set of photos we reviewed, we found ourselves literally gasping. Our gut feeling was only reinforced once we started talking to her and getting to know her. Neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos taken, but our engagement shoot was so much fun. It felt like hanging out with a long-time friend, coupled with Delycia’s incredible ability to give just enough direction to create stunning photos while still capturing “us.” We couldn’t stop gushing about her afterward. When we had to drastically change our venue’s location, we were worried it would be too far for her. But Delycia, being the flexible and amazing human she is, happily agreed and continued to be our photographer without hesitation. The lead-up and preparation could not have gone smoother. Every check-in with Delycia turned into a 30-minute chat about life, wedding planning, and whatever came up that day. Our wedding day was absolutely chaotic—things started late, I got injured, and general mayhem ensued. But Delycia was there to navigate it all, ensuring we got the photos we wanted—and so much more. She even ushered us out of our reception to take couple photos that turned out to be the most incredible images of the entire evening, photos we will treasure forever. Delycia isn’t just a photographer; she’s a director, choreographer, personal hype-woman, and miracle worker. Not to mention, she sent us first-look photos during our wedding afterparty, delivered final digital edits within a month, and had our prints ready within two months! If I had to plan another wedding, Delycia at Lucid Memories would be the only person I’d trust with my photos. In fact, I’m already figuring out the next time I can work with her! She’s not just my photographer; she’s my friend for life!

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so pleased with using Gabe for our wedding photography. His work speaks for itself - beautiful compositions and use of light, and the ability to capture quick moments and candid shots. I felt super comfortable with Gabe which was very important to me because I'm camera-shy and awkward. He was very down to earth and easy to work with. Also, though he is based in PA he traveled to NY for our wedding and did an amazing job. We even travelled to PA for an engagement session, which I initially had no plans on doing - but those photos came out great as well and we had a lot of fun doing those to get warmed up. Strongly recommend Gabe, he's the best!

Tami Weingartner Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Defiance, PA

My inspiration comes from the stories around me.  In books, movies & art.  Long walks with my dog Cady Jane, time on the river with a fly rod, in the barn with my horses, conversations with friends and of course travel.  I believe that life is about experiences, relationships and ultimately love.   These things certainly are what fuels the passion to make beautiful fine art photographs.  So that, in turn, my clients can have photographic artifacts that they find beautiful and inspiring.  Photographs that can fill living and work spaces, bringing joy to the viewer.

To say we were satisfied with choosing Tami to photograph our engagement photos and wedding day is an understatement. She was phenomenal and we could not be happier with our choice! I cannot put into words how happy I am with the photos! We got our engagement photos done and they were amazing. Then Covid hit and she was amazing with my plan of having an intimate ceremony August 2020 and a church wedding and reception Summer of 2021 . She took my request and was completely understanding. She is sweet, caring, and full of energy! She has so much talent to be able to capture those little moments you want to remember forever. The attention to detail is breath taking. She includes an engagement session as part of her packages to get to know the couples more, and we had so much fun at our shoot! She documented every single detail and the quality of her pictures is amazing. I can not wait to see her work with our “second” wedding. I highly recommend Tami.

So this is funny, when I was little, I was obsessed with the movie "The Wedding Planner." So much obsessed, I wanted to be a wedding planner someday. Jump into the future 20 years and my obsession with weddings has brought me to here! I love photographing weddings!

Weddings are a special day for not only the couple, but two families to come together to celebrate love and life together as one. And your photos should represent that life you are creating. Colorful, bold and full of energy. So let's plan, have fun and photograph your dang day!

Hey - I’m Tillie! Does someone putting a camera in your face make you cringe? Me too! I know having your photo taken can be awkward and uncomfortable. I take my time to get to know my clients and their photo goals prior to their wedding day.

We cannot say enough positive words about tillie and the work she did for our wedding!!! She was amazing!! From the very beginning of hiring her she was available and communicative and listened to all our needs and wants for our pictures and at the end they were perfect! She was even adaptable to parts of the wedding that were a surprise to our guests and we forgot to inform her that they were happing and she was able to capture those moments! She sent us a little preview of our pictures right away for us to enjoy as she worked on the others. I as the bride also had a slight issue with how my hair turned out and though most people wouldn’t have noticed, to me it was a huge deal and she was able to edit out the hair in the pictures to make it exactly how I wanted! The wedding website she set up was beautiful organized and easy to navigate for us and our friends and family. Would highly recommend using Tillie for any event you have!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

I'm just here to say, if you're looking for an engagement photographer, wedding photographer, bridal shoot or any other of your photography needs, Diana knocks it out of the park every time. Feel awkward? Not sure how to stand or hand placements? Need your dress fluffed? Someone to help herd people out of your bridal suite? Someone who will be caring and take time to get to know you individually and as a couple? Diana is absolutely it! She quickly became a friend after hiking up in the dark with us to get a sunrise engagement shoot. She went above and beyond for us every step of our engagement and wedding. Her wonderful personality and infections smile will keep you feeling comfortable around her. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions.

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

Me and my husband had the wonderful pleasure of working with Lou :) he's incredibly talented, truly understands the needs and desires of the LGBT community. My partner and I were looking for a photographer who would make us feel comfortable and confident on our special day, and Lou exceeded our expectations in every way!!! Geniune, polite, friendly, supportive and a sweetheart, thank you Lou! He was even invited to our after party, we're happy to call him our friend. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Lou was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They took the time to listen to our vision for our wedding day and offered helpful suggestions and guidance to make sure we got the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Lou arrived early to scout out the venue and get a feel for the space. He was friendly and engaging with all of our guests, making sure to capture all of the special moments and candid shots that we'll cherish forever. Lou's eye for detail and creativity truly shone through in the photos they took, and we were thrilled with the final results. Overall, we couldn't recommend Lou more highly.

It's hard to imagine an 18 hour wedding day with 300 guests feeling "intimate." But Tina and her team worked seamlessly with all of our vendors - so we were able to catch our breath, and take a few needed minutes for ourselves. We were having so much fun, that we forgot we were actually posing. But my favorite photos are the ones that they took when we weren't looking or posing. It was so difficult picking out photos for our album because we love them all. Between our books and our prints, we have our house plastered. We are so glad we chose them.

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam was our girl from the beginning. She encouraged our pups in our engagement photos and worked around their lack of being photogenic. She pushed us, comfortably, out of our comfort zone. She was found by my Maid of Honor on Instagram and I immediately knew her style was what I had been looking for. When it came to wedding day I was most excited to see not only our photographer, but a friend. She was supportive, easy to work with and guided us in the right direction when needed. She knocked out our photos in a timely manor while positioning and giving great direction as to where to move to make the picture look better (something that was important to me). I am happy to scream her name for recommendations from now on & return to her in the future!

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

We got married exactly one year ago today – and what a day it was, perfectly captured by Kevin! We had a large wedding party and family, and Kevin wrangled them so well, while everyone was having so much fun. We ended up with a library of absolutely gorgeous photos, including a variety of backdrops, groups of people, and moments. Kevin allowed us to shoot portraits at so many different locations that were important to us (we got married at the college where we met), all the while sticking to our schedule. From our engagement shoot, to our getting-ready photos, the ceremony to the dancing at the end, Kevin captured so much love and beauty that filled our engagement and wedding. We cannot recommend K&R photos more to trust with photographing your most special day. Thank you so much, Kevin!

I started out with photography but soon found a stronger passion for videography. I love creating cinematic videos and being able to capture all of the most important moments of your big day and turning them into a beautiful, telling love story.

Chief and Amanda exceeded all our expectations and were absolutely phenomenal! I wholeheartedly endorse these talented artists to everyone without reservation. Throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, my partner and I were filled with apprehension as we tend to feel awkward in front of the camera. However, Chief's expertise and guidance immediately put us at ease. With an incredible ability to direct us into the perfect poses and suggest creative positioning with our family and in various settings, they made the photography experience unforgettable. Their ideas resulted in breathtaking shots that perfectly captured the essence of our special day.
