Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,845
  • Serves Defiance, PA

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.

I had the best experience with OLAS! From engagement photos to the wedding, Graham was our photographer and he was excellent! He is super quick and officiant. We wanted to make sure we would have ample time with our guests at our wedding and not waste too much time on photos and Graham made that happen. He was so quick it almost didn't seem like I was even ready for the photo to be taken, but sure enough when my sneak peaks came back, they were all breath taking and amazing, I can't even choose one. He knows what he is doing, the right lighting, the right camera settings, and captures the most special moments that we will forever cherish and relive through for the rest of our lives. The entire entourage, including the videographer was also so amazing, friendly, funny, and engaging. Thank you OLAS for capturing the best day of our lives!

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.

We're husband and wife destination wedding and elopement photographers and videographers based in Cleveland, Ohio, traveling as much as possible. We’re here to be your photographic memory, capturing you honestly and naturally so you can give your attention to the people and moments that matter most. We want you to have stunning images and the best day of your life and we do everything in our power to deliver both.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Carly and Casey was one of our best wedding decisions. I could rave about their photos and videos, but their work speaks for itself. They managed to capture every detail of our wedding—location, small details, and most importantly the emotions of the day. Nothing was missed. BUT, when you hire Drzazga Photo, you’re hiring them for a lot more than just their amazing photos and videos-- Something I didn't realize was so important until the day of our wedding. Carly and Casey come prepared, organized, and with years of experience. They scoped out the venue prior to our arrival and knew exactly where we should go for family photos and bridal portraits based on the lighting and given timeline. This cut down on SO MUCH potential chaos. We decided to follow their advice on photo location, and definitely did not regret it. They know what they are doing. They are efficient and knew exactly what shots they wanted for both photos and video. There was minimal time spent on “posing” photos which allowed for so many more photos in our gallery and more time for us to enjoy our families. So, hire them, fully trust them, and you will NOT be disappointed.

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Snowdrop Creative Co.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Defiance, PA

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.

We booked Alexandra with Snowdrop Creative Co for a family photo session. Our toddler is a very active and spicy toddler, and Alexandra's patience with him paid off! She gave great suggestions for poses or things to try with him (swing him up in the air to get him to giggle, swing him while we walk, let him "race" and run towards her) and despite my anxiety about being able to get any usable photos (we've failed with other photographers in the past), we got several! She was totally willing to roll with it and let him do some exploring while she worked on candid shots of the family and it turns out those were our favorites. We got some fantastic posed family shots, but her patience and flexibility with letting our toddler drive the session got us some incredible relaxed family photos that don't look awkward or rehearsed. I'm so grateful for her experience and expertise! She was wonderful to work with, and had top notch communication throughout the entire process.

I found Kristi by chance by doing a searching for wedding photographers around Beaver County, PA. She was the second one that popped up, but the first one I actually got excited about. I loved the way her photos looked. A little more darker and moody than any other typical wedding photographer. I am still in love with everything she has done for me. From my engagement photos to my daughter’s 1st birthday pictures. Kristi becomes more than a photographer. She becomes a friend who genuinely cares about you and your family, whether you talk to her practically every week or every few months. It’s just meeting up with an old friend who happens to take ahhh-mazingly stunning photos.

Photography, for me, is more than just a profession, it's a desire to live in the intense moments. The ability to tell stories through visuals is a power that never ceases to amaze me. My journey into the world of photography began with a fascination to take a photograph and have that moment forever, and since then, it has evolved into a relentless pursuit of preserving that moment.

Jandi and her second shooter Joe were absolutely great to work with! Super friendly and energetic. We’re definitely a camera shy couple but they made photos a fun and easy experience. They also didn’t give us any weird looks when our friends inevitably goofed off and suggested a photo of my maid of honor pretending to stab the groom or the best man suggestively riding a rake we found on the ground or even when the groom insisted Joe hop in a group photo with all the other Joseph’s attending the wedding (there were several) My husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken has already told me he intends to only use Jandi for any future events or occasions that will require professional photos so I consider that the highest praise possible from him lol You should absolutely hire Jandi if you want a comfortable and enjoyable experience!

She is not only incredibly talented as a photographer, she is personable and professional. She is punctual, easy to communicate with, and is such a joyful person to have around on a wedding day. Her talent, personality, and creativity make her an easy choice for an elopement photographer! She is a joy and I can’t wait to work with her again soon.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Not sure where to start.  Manai totally took us by surprise.  We knew we wanted something a little different but weren’t sure what exactly.  Personally, I hate taking photos, but he kept us engaged with conversation and simple directions, and things flowed naturally.  His sense of humor was a pleasant surprise.   My fiancé really wanted a good pic with our dog, and Manai totally blew us away.  So creative!!  Highly recommended!!!!

We are a husband and wife photography and videography team and have been shooting weddings for over a decade strong. The name says it all… we’re just different. If you don’t want cookie cutter video and images… look no further.

From our first interaction, the team at Karmapants was easy to communicate with and incredibly accessible. Their relaxed and timely approach put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they seamlessly collaborated with our photographers, capturing warm, subtle, and detail-oriented images and videos from numerous angles. The finished photos and video were truly breathtaking - the poetic verbiage on our video page brought tears to our eyes and perfectly encapsulated the magic of our special day. Karmapants played a wonderful part in making our wedding day an amazing experience we'll cherish forever.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by :) I’m Lyndsey. I’m originally from Scranton, PA and have spent the past couple years bopping around the PNW exploring its vast beauty. Most recently I’ve planted my roots in Philly with my boyfriend and dog and it certainly feels like home! Although I mostly crave being out in nature I still thrive off of city life! My love for photography feeds my soul for both.

We used Lyndsey for our engagement and wedding photos this year. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, always exceeding our expectations! I am so glad we chose Lyndsey Hannick Photography to capture our precious moments. Will definitely be using her again for all of our photo needs. 10/10

Bliss Photos is a Pennsylvania based Wedding Photographer servicing weddings in PA, MD, DC, NYC, and beyond! Bliss Photos is an inclusive wedding photographer that creates romantic & timeless photos with a journalistic approach. As a wedding photographer for 10+ years, my favorite photo to capture is when a couple is completely in their own world and not even aware of the camera. I strive for that photo EVERY time. Those photos are once in a lifetime photos and that's exactly what I'm all about - capturing the real you in that special moment. That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

Melissa was such a pleasure to work with! She is friendly, helpful and has a vision. She took the most beautiful elopement photos for us and just photographed our bigger wedding. She is great at getting candid and more artsy shots while still getting the classic portraits you want from a wedding. Could not recommend her enough!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Ishan & Preeti Ishan Fotografi were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - their photos were beautiful, professional, and perfectly balanced, capturing all the special moments of our wedding in a way that felt natural and authentic, while also getting all the family shots and formal portraits. They worked with us to reschedule our engagement photos when we had weather issues, and really listened to our ideas for the couple portraits, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Ishan & Preeti have an amazing ability to build rapport and make you feel at ease, which was invaluable on our big day. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend them more highly!

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

Joe is extremely talented, as his portfolio will show. He is also gracious, humble, and very easy to work with. He knows how to team up with the other wedding vendors to make sure the moments are captured.

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! 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!!
