Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves West Salem, OH

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.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

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!

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meg and Jj were photographers for our wedding and we can honestly say if they were not vendors they would have ended up on our guest list! We found Megnolia Photos about a year out from our wedding and each time we met with Megan and Jj , they were so enthusiastic about the event, the requests we made, the details of the day, and EVERYTHING else. From multiple FaceTime calls to discuss our vision, to creating Pinterest mood boards together for our wedding Megan and Jj continued to show how passionate they were about photography and capturing the timeless moments from our special day. Throughout the wedding day, guest would even come up to us constantly to complement the professionalism, skill, and engagement Megan and Jj had the entire day! The 150 guest who attended our wedding and my Husband and I have nothing but the best things to say about our experience with these two. Once receiving our sneak peak photos and our full gallery, we were both brought to tears from seeing how every moment was captured beautifully - happiness and joy could be seen in every photograph. We are now almost at the 5 month mark from our event and I cry every time I look at our gallery because of this. Megnolia Photos is a full on 6/5 star vendor to work with, as both Megan and Jj are definitely vendors turned friends to us. I will forever be a cheerleader to their business. BOOK THEM!!

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

I am so thankful we booked Jenna for our June 2021 wedding! We originally were looking for a Columbus based engagement photographer to take some pictures of us on OSU campus and were going to find a new photographer for our Cleveland wedding, but we fell in love with Jenna and booked her to travel with us! Jenna and Brett helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and were a joy to work with all day. When we had to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021, they could not have been more understanding. I am absolutely obsessed with my photos and so are all my family and friends! Book Jenna for your wedding - you will not regret it!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I am a self taught photographer. This journey started in 2013 as a stay-at-home mom with some young ones running around and an urge to dive into my creative side. It has since evolved beyond anything I ever thought it could. I genuinely love what I do and all of the connections I've made with all of the many amazing people I've worked with over the years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am not a colleague or friend of Ella Rose Photography (although it would be an honor to be friends with Michelle.) I am writing this review as a client. I fell in love with her style of photography a few years ago and booked her for my family's fall photos. Upon receiving my photo gallery I almost cried at how beautiful they were. That was when we were a family of five. Now we are a family of six, and have only gone back to Michelle for our photos. Not only is she kind and patient with my four children, but she has a way of capturing each one of their personalities with her lens and freezing that moment of time at their specific age that I can hold onto forever. You can definitely tell she's a mama. I would highly recommend (and have many times) Ella Rose Photography. Your photos will not just look like annual family photos on your wall, rather like fine art that will stand out amongst other family/wedding/etc. photos.

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.

Through every worst of times, we've grown stronger, fallen deeper in love, and found the best of times. We believe communication, selflessness, and laughter are vital in keeping the romance burning.

Cindy and Rick capture the most beautiful photos of my daughter’s recent wedding. They took time to make sure every shot was perfect. They caught every special moments and the candid photos I’m sure will help us remember special moments and special people. I don’t think my daughter and new son in law could have picked a more perfect photographer .

Requiem Images

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves West Salem, OH

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!!

I am a lifestyle wedding and portrait photographer based in Northeast Ohio but I travel anywhere my clients will take me! I am TERRIBLE at about me blurbs as I'm awful at bragging about myself. Instead I'll just let my work speak for me and let you get to know me that way.

While trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was interesting to say the least, we were lucky enough that we chose such amazing vendors to work with, especially Corey Ann. We all got to know each other about a year before when we did our engagement shoot, and that definitely showed come wedding day. Corey was incredibly professional, but also really enjoys what she does and had fun with us and was open to both our suggestions and made some fun suggestions to us as well. I’m sure it’s not always easy working with a bunch of people that just want to party and celebrate, but she was absolutely awesome! A big selling point for us was she wasn’t a photographer who set a number of hours she would work, and anything above that would be extra. She was there when we started getting ready in the morning, all the way thru the end of the reception around 11pm. We are incredibly happy with our photos and she did a great job capturing the day as it unfolded. We would very highly recommend!!!

My name is Alyssa, I am the owner and photographer of VanDee Photo, I am located in Northwest Ohio but travel just about anywhere! I love Michigan and hope to photograph more weddings there! I am 24 and am a mom of 3, wife, and plenty of pets to love on. My love for photography has existed for as long as I can remember but my grandpas have really pushed me to create a business with my passion. VanDee Photo was officially created in 2021, but I have been photographing since 2016! I am mostly photographing weddings these days, maybe yours will next!

VanDee Photos was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Having worked with VanDee before, I knew her thorough, kind, and appreciative communication style would make wedding planning a breeze. She kept us informed about every step of the process. On our big day, VanDee captured the excitement and energy perfectly. Her fun, enticing shots highlight special moments from the ceremony and reception that we'll treasure forever. VanDee is talented at photography in any setting - from posed family portraits to candid dance floor antics. Her skill shone through in the final album, where she preserved the raw emotion and joy we felt. I'd enthusiastically recommend VanDee to any couple looking to relive their magical moments through vibrant, energetic wedding photography.

My husband and I had an elopement style wedding and we’re kind of awkward when it comes to taking pictures. This was actually our first time having professional photos taken of us and it was better than expected! Kelly carries a warm, yet fun energy all while maintaining professionalism and is beyond talented. Our wedding photos are so amazing, every moment was captured beautifully. We will definitely be working with Kelly again in the future!

I’m a, wife, momma, and urban chicken-owner. I’m originally from Bluffton, Ohio where I also attended the University majoring in art and graphic design. I love my family fiercely. I am a giant sucker for reality tv shows, but not the crazy drama ones. Vacations are my jam, and my favorite is our annual week long trip to the Smokies on our Harley. Just me, the hubs, and the oh so beautiful mountains. *Sigh*…I’d love to call that place home. What’s your story? I’d love for you to tell me! My favorite thing about this job is connecting, loving, and serving my clients. I try to make taking photos easy and fun for all involved.

Lydia was amazing to work with. She was very professional from the first phone call. She was thorough in her questions and her photos are stunning. She gave clear guidance for posing and captured our wedding day beautifully. Her turn around time for pictures was quick! I would highly recommend Lydia for anyone getting married

Christopher Deau Photography is a wedding and event photography company based in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

He services the state of Michigan with quality wedding photography services, and considers it a joy and honor to be able to preserve the special moments of your wedding day for you to treasure forever.

I cannot speak more highly of Chris. His photos are absolutely STUNNING! We did our engagement session with him in Saugatuck, MI and our wedding was at Twin Gables in Sturgis, MI. He got our engagement session back to us SO fast and we received our sneak peak wedding photos only 1 or 2 days after the wedding- I cannot wait to see the rest of them. We also had a 2nd shooter with him named Eric and he was great as well! Eric shot more photos of the groom and groomsmen and they all really liked him and his humor. You will NOT regret hiring Chris as your photographer.
