Hi! I am Sarah, and I am a Youngstown-area photographer. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and being able to share my passion with others is the "greatest" feeling in the world. Through wedding photography, I get to meet incredible people, witness the thought and care poured into every detail, and learn about the unique journey that brought each couple together. I’ll never get tired of hearing how you fell in love or the story behind saying “yes to the dress.” Capturing all of that joy, emotion, and connection is what makes wedding photography so special to me!

Sarah shot our wedding in June and the pictures turned out amazing! I would highly recommend Sarah, she was wonderful to work with!

Bailey is an Ohio/Michigan based self taught photographer that has photographed over 250 weddings photographed by the time she turned 28. She photographs weddings and families across several states. Baileys vow is to give all the emotions in a single timeless frame to be able to show future generations.

One of the first (and best) decisions we made was hiring Bailey. Not only did she shoot our wedding, but also our proposal AND our engagement photos. She is the ultimate hype woman, she brings your Pinterest board to life, and she is so professional and organized while also feeling like you have a close friend with you all day long. Our jaws were dropped while clicking through the gallery. I've referred several of my close friends to her as well and they ALL say the same. If you want your wedding photos to be your dream shots, hire Bailey, you will NOT regret it!

We got married on August 2025, and had the pleasure of working with Aimee Tursky. Prior to our wedding, we spoke on the phone regarding what we wanted (photo ideas) - under the veil, bubbles, a VERY specific group shot, and a game day photo. Aimee DELIVERED. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we are still receiving compliments on our photos, including statements about how they are "Bridal Magazine" worthy. Reflections Media made the booking process easy, and Danielle was available through every step for any questions or concerns. My husband and I couldn't recommend Reflections Media PA, and Aimee enough. We are so pleased on how our photos turned out. I'd also like to add it took about 3 weeks for us to get our edited photos back.

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

Hi, I’m Kelly 🤍 and I specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. My goal isn’t just to take photos—it’s to document your day as it actually felt. The big moments, the quiet in-between ones, and everything you didn’t even realize was happening. I’m known for helping my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if you think you’re awkward—I promise you’re not) Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding or a full-day celebration, I’ll help guide you through your timeline so nothing important is missed—while still leaving space for real, candid moments to unfold.

Kelly was super responsive which made communication easy right off the bat! We had an outdoor ceremony planned and really wanted sunset pictures but the weather had other plans. She worked wonderfully around all the changes and remained optimistic. We were lucky enough to have fog creep up that helped make for some awesome pics! Our sneak peaks came out beautifully so far and we can’t wait to see the rest! This was our first time being photographed professionally and Kelly made it painless. Would definitely recommend Kelly and we will use her in the future for any other little moments

You have found “The One”, your person, soulmate. And now it’s time to plan your wedding. There are so many moving parts — family, friends, locations, vendors. It’s a lot to think about and a lot of planning. But, you can take advantage of a team of vendors that will work together before, during AND after the wedding and take some of the guesswork out of putting together a memorable day. Photography, videography, DJ, photobooth, and more. Call Team Wedding and let our team help you make your dream come true.

This group truly listens to you and gets to know you. I ask for certain music to be played and not to be played at our wedding and they came through like rock stars despite our guests requesting the songs we asked not to be played. They captured all the moments we requested and captured far more than we could have dreamed of. The Photo Booth was a hit and we loved the personal touches. They were easy to work with and we have suggested them to multiple family and friends (who used them) and we have used them for multiple family and maternity pictures since our wedding. We plan to use them again for our daughter’s First Communion pictures.
