THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL FIND! We’ve used Carly for many family sessions, our engagement session (in Red Rock, NV), and of course our wedding, and I plan to stay in contact and use her for family sessions in the future! We got married during COVID and she was so helpful with being accommodating to our small ceremony, and booking us for our reception next year. Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography. Carly radiates joy and love to every single couple that she is with. My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever. She is incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also an incredible person who would be the perfect choice for your special day. Not only do I feel like we had the best photographer and photos, but I also feel like Carly became a friend throughout our process and knows our story so well. I could not recommend her more.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Independence, OH

No need to overpay for proven quality. The key to great fine art photography is controlling lighting along with image enhancement. This results from the finest gear and years of Top Awards. While quality is most important, affordability is still critical. That's why we are home-based to minimize costs, but willing to travel. We give Full rights to the Edited high-resolution images you deserve. No limits. No sneaky low-res files which are worthless for you to print. No watermarks to force you into high-priced reprints. If quality is important, we are just one of three 7-years-in-a-row Top 5% Award winners in all of NE Ohio out of over 500.

Randy is a very professional and detail oriented photographer. He spends time with his couples getting to know them. That is a quality that is much welcomed and needed when your wedding pictures are so important.

I am one of the lucky ones. I have been so fortunate to be able to turn my passion for photography + videography into a dream job. When I was exposed to the wedding industry after college (any Ohio University alumni out there?!), I INSTANTLY fell in love with capturing those once in a lifetime moments. That was 8 years ago and I have not put a camera down since.

Meghan is fantastic! I've had the pleasure of working alongside Meghan professionally, and I can attest to her creativity and ease under pressure. She works efficiency but with delicate precision. She captures obvious photo-worthy moments of the day and smaller interactions that really show the excitement and emotions felt that you will cherish forever!

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!

  • Serves Independence, OH

I began my career working as a backup for a wedding photographer in Akron, Ohio. I started out using a medium format Hasselblad 501CM film camera (I don’t miss those days). Over 300 weddings later, I still have a passion for photographing couples on their wedding day. For me, weddings have it all: portrait photography; photojournalism; commercial photography (wedding details). It is all interesting and all part of your day.

Larry was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding! From the moment we met him in person, we knew he was someone deeply passionate about and dedicated to his art. And he's definitely a true artist. Some of photographs he took could pass for classic oil paintings they were so timeliness and wonderful - definitely family heirloom quality! He's also so easy to talk to and really wants a sense of what we truly wanted to capture from our big day. We told him we wanted some portraits but the majority of the time just wanted candids and natural moments captured so that we could fully be in the moment with our guests. And boy did he deliver! There were pictures from the reception that I had no idea he even was present for because he really let us be in our element. For that I'm super grateful. He is also someone who goes above and beyond to capture the minutia of the day. He was there with us from the time makeup and hair started to the very last dance. He would get on the ground if needed to capture that perfect shot and was so mindful of the natural lighting to help us capture some truly magical moments. We truly cannot recommend Larry enough!

Founded in 2011 by Dustin and Melissa Lopez, One Red Door is a wedding photography studio serving Northeast, Ohio. Their intention was to create an award winning studio that was different. After a few years, Melissa and Dustin created resources and the support necessary to allow other photographers to focus on their core competency, connecting with and photographing their clients.

I have had the pleasure of working with One Red Door Photography many times over the past several years and whenever one of my couples tells me that ORDP is part of their vendor team, I get so excited! I get excited because I know this couple is in for a treat. Dustin and Mel and their team are so good at making people at ease, which truly lets your natural personality shine through in the images that they capture. Their pictures are amazing! They push themselves creatively to get great shots. I remember one of my first weddings with them (I am a DJ), where Mel climbed up onto Dustin's shoulders to get an awesome full group photo of everyone on the dance floor. Dustin has taken family portraits for our family for the past few years and they hang on our walls printed on large canvases. We love them! My wife talks all the time about how the picture we got printed on a large canvas captures our family so perfectly! The team at ORDP really cares about you and about helping you have an amazing day and capturing that amazing day on camera. I've never met anyone that regretted hiring the ORDP team. This is an easy decision. Hire these guys!

Their communication was clear, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was efficient, stunning, and highly personalized to our style. They sent us multiple photographer options to choose from, and we went with Sabatani, who captured every moment of our special day beautifully. OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.

These ladies are phenomenal! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From our first chat over zoom, we knew instantly that we could trust them and that they would capture us, not just a one-size-fits-all deal. They truly capture each couple in their own unique way and you can tell just by looking at their work. I’m so glad we did an engagement shoot first, because it got all the nerves out for us and we got to build more of a relationship with them before our day. We are not people who like being in front of cameras, but their enthusiasm and professionalism put us, especially me, at instant ease! The photos turned out great even with it being an unforcasted rainy and unusually hot fall day. And the wedding, holy moly! They had to wrangle all sorts of family dynamics and chaos while still taking beautiful photos in the rain. Not sure how that happened, but they made it all seem so easy and we had so much fun with them! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! …Not one thing! We received our first look photos in no time after the wedding and we are in love already. Can’t wait to see the rest! We will definitely be contacting them again in the future. Wherever you are in your photographer search (and reading reviews like this), just stop and set up a chat now. You will not be disappointed!

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.

Autumn & Jay were a dream duo. They captured our wedding day so beautifully. We are so grateful that we have these images to hold onto forever! They were so fun, engaging, and managed to capture everything we asked for! The first time we met Autumn was at our engagement session and it was like we’d been friends for years! She was so friendly and made our session so much fun! We are so grateful we had Three & Eight for our wedding day and are OBSESSED with every photo captured. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

My name is Comfort and I am a Columbus based photographer who loves photographing real people being themselves! My style is authentic, vibrant and fun, and I pride myself in my ability to capture the spirit of every person and event that I photograph. The comment I hear most from my couples is that I am a calming presence on their wedding day and that my name is very fitting. Helping your wedding day run smoothly is just as important to me as capturing beautiful photographs for you.

Comfort is the best photographer we could've ever asked for. 5 out of 5 stars isn't enough. From the day we booked her it was truly a joy every step of the way. We dealt with numerous vendors and the best part about working with Comfort is how personable she was. It never felt uncomfortable or awkward and we looked forward to every interaction. As a person who doesn't love planned photo's she made it EASY and natural. Just allowed us to be ourselves and the photos are better than we ever imagined. On our big day she helped things run so smoothly to the point where it all felt perfect. I was highly stressed that we would be pulled in so many directions that it would be hard to balance BUT Comfort came with a plan and by the end of the night we didn't have 1 hiccup or issue. I Couldn't recommend Comfort Photography more. If we ever have the need for a photographer again we know exactly who we will be booking. Looking forward to that day.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Cat was the photographer for our elopement and it was an amazing experience. One thing everyone said at different points in the day was how comfortable Cat made us feel during the photoshoot. It was an incredibly hot day in the woods, and Cat was able to make us all laugh and have a fun time even while we were melting. She photographed both the ceremony itself and helped us do a photoshoot after, and the pictures turned out absolutely incredible. They are so creative and professional, and we would not have been able to pick a better photographer for our special day. We highly recommend Cat for any queer couples or any couples whose wedding days don't look entirely traditional - Cat made it easy for us and the results turned out fantastic!

Brian and Joelle are amazing photographers and people to work with! They really understand the meaning of your wedding day and are there not just to capture pictures but to also make sure the day goes smoothly for the bride/groom. They helped create a realistic and great timeline, captured every moment throughout the day, and assisted the bride/groom with anything they could have needed. They are very experienced and have their method to getting as many pictures as possible without taking a lot of time out of the day. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer 10 out of 10 times!! Pictures came back incredibly fast as well and all looked beautiful!
