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

Megan Badia Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Megan’s communication style was via text and FaceTime, until she got face-to-face with you ant the sessions. Every interaction was fun, upbeat, and incredibly detailed focused. Meg did everything we asked of her and more, putting her own little fun twist on everything and not missing a single detail.

10/5 STARS A MUST BOOK ********** I simply don’t know if I can put into words how amazing of an experience we had using Eileen as our photographer. She captured our engagement photos and did such an amazing job I was so excited to see how the wedding photos came out - when I tell you she CRUSHED this entire gallery I have never been more serious. The sheer volume of photos is incredible but the meticulous attention to detail and care she took editing every single photo is truly mind blowing. I don’t even know where to begin posting these because I wish I could post every single one. Every time I look at these pictures I remember every emotion I felt on our wedding day and that’s a true blessing and a gift to be able to give people those feelings and relive their most special moments through your work. Eileen takes the time to get to know you on more than just a surface level, she has become a friend since I first reached out to book her and I truly cannot imagine having had anyone else capture our special moments. She is super responsive, thorough, listens to what YOU want and makes it happen, she’s kind and friendly and will make you feel relaxed and comfortable no matter the situation. You can trust her wholeheartedly with your photo needs. I’m not someone who usually likes to get pictures taken of me and I’m always hypercritical of myself in photos but I honestly looked forward to our sessions with Eileen and love every single photo she took. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in need of a professional photographer. A 10/10 friend, an 11/10 photg, a 12/10 human being - she is a true gem all the way around. Book her now because she books up quick, I PROMISE you will never regret it!!

We have some amazing styled and candid photos from both sessions. The work was incredible and the online portal for accessing the images is very easy to use. Wonderful photos and kind people is the best way to describe them. I highly recommend booking with them you will not regret it.

Wedding photography is more than just taking photos to me but it’s about capturing real emotions, meaningful moments, and memories that couples can cherish forever. I’m passionate about documenting love stories in a way that feels natural, timeless, and authentic. From the excitement before the ceremony to the laughter, tears, and celebration throughout the day, I strive to preserve every moment in a beautiful and genuine way. As I continue growing in the wedding industry, My goal is to tell each couple’s story through photographs they can look back on for years to come and relive one of the most important days of their lives.

Kloé is a phenomenal photographer. A normal planned family photo shoot between my boyfriend and I turned into a surprise engagement orchestrated by the two of them. Kloé’s the type of photographer that doesn’t just take photographs but captures the emotions, feelings, and moment so perfectly. She made the session fun and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

Heather and Andrew are just the best! Their communication is quick, clear and detailed. Heather makes sure to cover all bases and offers so many helpfully tips which is so nice when you have so many other things going on. We used them for our engagement photos and they were able to make a trip back out to us after we had to reschedule due to weather. The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos. Both of their personalities are so kind and welcoming that they made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Hiring Ali was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she felt like a helpful friend who was there to guide us through the planning and execution of our big day(s). She was a calm and supportive presence during our wedding weekend who made herself known when we needed her, but otherwise felt like a guest with a nice camera. Of course the photos look exceptional, but what stands out to us is her artistic eye and her excitement about her craft. She went absolutely above and beyond for us in so many ways and my family and I are forever grateful!

Not only do I love capturing those candid moments but I also enjoy guiding loved ones through interacting together to come up with more natural moments to capture actual good times! To help the day run as smoothly as possible we also send out a wedding photography survey going over times and shot details to make sure we are on the same page ahead of time, with wanted poses on this list as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience. From the very beginning, AR Treasures was amazing to work with. Great communication, incredibly responsive, and attentive to every detail. Rachel made the entire process feel easy and stress-free, which was a blessing during such a busy time. Having two photographers was such a huge bonus. It allowed us to see so many different angles and moments from our big day… Now we get to look back on all of it for the rest of our lives and photos we can show our kids and grandkids one day. On the wedding day, everything felt seamless. She was calm, organized, and captured both the big moments and the small, meaningful details so naturally. We were also so impressed with how quickly we received our photos. We got sneak peeks the very next morning, and in under two weeks, our full gallery was ready. It was filled with beautifully and naturally edited images that truly reflect our perfect day. We’re absolutely in love with how everything turned out.

While I've been photographing weddings for 20 years, my professional career began far from cameras. I created NPR's first satellite news stream and in 2006, after I left the NPR world, I fell in love with photographing weddings! I spent the majority of my wedding career in Washington DC, and relocated to Cleveland in 2023.

My husband and I could not recommend Andrew more highly. We were immediately struck by his unique documentary-style and engaging photography. From our first encounter with him, we were inspired by Andrew’s passion, creativity, whimsy, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Over our planing calls, we got to know one another well and build a vision for the day that Andrew executed above and beyond any hopes or expectations. He captured organic moments of joy, connection, reverence, and raw emotion that tell a story of our relationship and community, not just a highlight reel of posed moments. Prepared with jokes, candor, and some serious running shoes, his energy and warmth made him a huge hit with our guests - people are commenting on how wonderful he was weeks later. Look no further for your photographer!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

What started as a spontaneous purchase in 2019—a $50 camera from eBay—turned into a dream I now get to live every day. Not long after picking up that camera, I won an award, showed work in galleries, and was published. With years of encouragement from others, I eventually made the leap to full-time photography—and I’ve never looked back. Weddings are where everything I love about photography comes together. I get to witness and capture the best moments from every angle—those quick glances, bursts of laughter, and quiet emotions that pass in a heartbeat.

Photos By Michael U were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the start, Michael was kind, and patient, taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted. His communication was specific and thoughtful, and he brought a beautiful, personalized experience to our wedding. The quality of his work was impeccable, and he provided great value at an affordable price. I didn't have to worry about a thing, as Michael thought of every detail and went above and beyond my expectations. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our wedding day.
