  • Serves Galena, OH

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

Wild Elegance 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Galena, OH

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Paige Danielle Photography

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Galena, OH

To sum myself up in this “about you” section is nearly impossible so here are a few things you must know. I like to have a good time with fun, real people, who love to laugh. You can expect to see me always smiling and have no shame in dancing with you on the dance floor to get some of the best photos. I just celebrated my one year anniversary with my husband, Nick and I am obsessed with my pup, Rylee. We love to travel, try new things, and are almost always outside, but I'll always come in for my fave snack of a charcuterie board and glass of wine.

We found Paige through an Instagram search of Indiana wedding photographers and fell in love with her style. I asked my brother who has a photographer eye for his opinion and he said, “she takes genuinely good pictures and doesn’t rely on a filter or editing to make them good.” So we booked her. And it was honestly the best decision my husband and I made. We booked her before any other vendor or even our venue so our wedding date revolved around having her as a photographer. She listened to every vision, thought, question we had and she made it feel like we knew her forever. When she did our engagement photos I was a little nervous at first because my husband is not a photo person, but she lead posing, positioning, and facial expressions so well. We were OBSESSED with our engagement photos and had them all over our reception and our house. On wedding day, the girls started to get behind with hair and make up and Paige had it all figured out. She added buffer time in the schedule and rearranged the schedule so that we were still on time for our ceremony. Before our first look, I felt like my hair piece was falling out and she fixed it so well that it held up for our grand entrance to the reception. Paige did so well with family portrait time and I have a huge family that she was able to wrangle and photograph the quickest and best I have ever seen. She helped pin up my bustle that was loose, carried our food so it wouldn’t spill on us, and took my hairpiece out for the reception repinning the loose hairs that stayed until our last dance. Now these are not in her job description but I feel are important to mention because she is the biggest reason our day ran so smoothly. She really thinks of everything and is prepared for everything. Paige made it feel like a friend was taking our pictures and we are SO grateful. We just have our sneak peeks right now but we are so excited to see the full gallery because the sneak peeks are stunning. My family and friends love the pictures so much. My husband’s grandma told me she looks through the sneak peeks before bed to relive the day because our photographer captured it so well she can remember every moment she looks at. Hiring Paige as your photographer is the best decision you could make for your day and when we start a family we will be using her again for maternity pictures.

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

Awarded Best of Zola

They have unique style that made our photos stand out against the traditional style. They have a way of capturing natural emotions and not making things look posed or unnatural. You will have your expectations met and exceeded in choosing Brighton and Basette Photography!

You could say photography is in my blood, since my father has been a professional photographer for most of his adult life, and he generously gifted me my very first camera. That special gift fueled a spark in me, and that spark grew into a true passion after my own wedding. I married my high school sweetheart in 2019 and quickly realized just how important pictures from your wedding day really are. After it's over, photos are the best way to reminisce and relive the emotions from one of the most important days of our lives over and over again.

My husband and I had never had professional photos done together and we were super nervous to take them on our wedding day, but Stephanie made us feel so comfortable! It felt easy and relaxed and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! :) I would recommend her to everyone!

Hi there! I am so glad you a re here! I’m a traveling wedding photographer, based in northern Kentucky. I'm a documentary style photographer, meaning I love candid moments and story telling though photos! And have a love for black and whites too! They're so emotional and timeless. I want to capture all the moments in your wedding day, from start to finish. When you get your gallery, I want you to relive your entire wedding day! Call, text or email me right now! I want to hear about your wedding vision!!

I always knew that photos were a big thing for me and my wedding. When we started planning, my husband and I decided our largest budget would be dedicated to a photographer. We knew the food and bar had to be good, the music needed to get people to dance, and the florals had to be pretty. But, most importantly the photos had to capture everything we weren't able to see due to the chaos. Little did we know the photos would do so much more. It captured memories with grandparents that we will never be able to repay for, first looks with my dad's, and a once in a lifetime kiss. The dance floor was a blast and oh can you tell based on these. The detail shots I prepared a box for became more than I could imagine. Being able to relive moments you didn't even know what happened are worth everything. Beyond the photos, the communication prior, day of and after the wedding made us feel like we weren't just a check, yet a couple Roseann cared about. A piece of mind to know that we were able to enjoy our day and let her do the rest (even as far as making sure I ate and carrying my detachable skirt to the coordinator when I got hot). I have another bride already in contract with Roseann and Id refer a million more if I could. Roseann, thank you for absolutely everything. xoxo- The Frylings (June 2024)

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

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!!

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. Over time, documenting moments became not just a passion, but an obsession. Her journey took a personal turn when she lost her mother, grandmother, and aunt to the effects of Alzheimer's disease. 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.

From our initial meeting, pre-wedding meeting and all the emails in between, Christy was professional and clear, which set me at ease. I was able to give her my direction and she made me feel confident that she had the vision and would execute what we needed for our photography. I felt so comfortable to share with her about my worries and she was able to help us on the wedding day stay on time and flexible when we wanted to add a few things. Absolutely adore her and her skills - highly recommend!

I'm a Cincinnati wedding photographer who recently moved here from Phoenix. I live here with my kickass wife and our equally kickass dog. I got into photography after going to school for and working in the film industry. I love playing basketball, petting dogs' bellies, and hanging with the people I love. If there's a tasty treat involved, all the better.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Aaron's photos are worth 1 million! We are so grateful to have worked with Aaron for our wedding this November! From our first email and meeting to the big day itself, he was one of our favorite vendors to work with and did a phenomenal job capturing the emotions of the day. Aaron (and his pup!) did a fantastic job answering all of our questions during our initial meeting. He immediately got the style we wanted for our photos and was a great brainstorming partner in the lead up to the wedding. We were able to work with him to create an in depth shot list that made getting all of our must-have photos a breeze the day of our wedding. And while those were gorgeous, the candid photos ended up being our favorites! Aaron and his second shooter (also Aaron!) captured incredible candid shots throughout the day that are nothing short of breathtaking. From the goofiness of our pre-ceremony shots with family and the wedding party to poignant family moments while we got ready, they captured every moment beautifully and absolutely represent the warmth and love of the day. The framing and lighting in each shot were perfectly chosen—you can feel the emotions in each photo like you are there! As someone who has worked with a number of photographers throughout the years for work and events, I can honestly say that Aaron is the best photographer I have had a pleasure of working with. Do not hesitate to work with him—he is truly best!

I'm a Midwest-based film wedding photographer, although my work often takes me from the east to west coast, and sometimes the world. Being an artist is something I knew I wanted to be from the time I was teeny tiny, and I truly cherish every chance I get to tell someone else’s story and grow in my creativity. I love being able to create and preserve memories for my clients, and turn those moments and memories into pieces of art.

My husband and I planned/paid for our whole wedding ourselves and I can honestly say Marissa’s photography was so worth the investment! Not only is she so sweet but she has great attention to detail, and overall easy to work with! It was really hard looking for a photographer for our wedding since it can be hard to trust someone with your vision but Marissa’s photography exceeded out expectations. Her style is so fresh, beautiful, and timeless! I truly think she is one of the BEST photographers in Cincinnati/Dayton area! Please don’t miss out on her work!! She is a true gem and I am so glad we trusted her to take care of our special day!

When we got married in 2007, our only regret is that we didn’t hire a wedding photographer. We had a few friends bring their cameras and thought that would be good enough. Our photos are fine, they are enough to help us remember what happened, but they don’t fully capture US. What we have isn’t quite wall-worthy, except that’s all we’ve got. We want more for you! You want to love your story, to love your photos and appreciate them years from now when you’re sharing stories with your grandkids gathered around. You will want your memories hung forever where you can see them to remember your beautiful day!

Daniel was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I was thrilled by the quality of our pictures. He was easy and comfortable to be around and felt more like a trusted friend through the whole process rather than someone I'd hired to take our pictures. I can't recommend his work enough. He made the whole process so easy, and I will treasure the pictures for a lifetime.

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.

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

I feel so honored to be a part of the most memorable moments in so many people’s lives. My desire as an artist is to create photos that are full of life and meaning and express beauty in an honest way. For this reason, I choose to photograph your wedding in an organic nature mixing film and digital photography. My career in the arts started in a more traditional setting, studying painting and drawing and I went on to graduate with a degree in Visual Communication. I do love all the mediums I’ve studied, but my true passion is photography. I have now worked as a photographer since 2010 and I am so blessed to be doing what I love.

Hi, it’s me, Loren! I feel completely honored to have captured more than 100 love stories since 2011 - and if I’m being honest, I’ve teared up at nearly every one. I live for precious moments that only happen on such a monumental day - and capturing those moments for eternity feeds my soul. The kind of gotta-have-’em moments like... The tear that gracefully rolls down a Mother’s cheek as she laces up her daughter’s wedding dress. The look of pure amazement on a groom’s face as he sees his beautiful bride for the first time. The joyful smile on a bride’s face after she plants that first sweet kiss on her new groom.

Loren was amazing in every way. I highly recommend her for your wedding!!
