I'm Brooke! I'm a fine art photographer and videographer from Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm a mom, an artist, an adventurer and a go-getter and I absolutely love what I do! Capturing true emotion and delivering life-long memories is such a special and important role to take on. My work is classic and timeless. I got my start in shooting weddings when my sister basically forced me to shoot hers in 2018. She knew I was more than capable, and that I just needed a push. I haven't looked back since! She's still my biggest fan to this day.

Brooke is hands down the best photographer we could've have hired. As someone who really hates getting their photo taken. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. She definitely knows exactly what she's doing and every. single. photo. was stunning. She did our engagement and wedding pictures and was so collaborative and patient with us as we were figuring out what we wanted. Could seriously not recommend someone better.

I am a photographer (obviously) located in Northern Kentucky. I am an enneagram type two (wing six), which basically means I’m a hard worker and a giver. I’m sociable and ambitious, but also incredibly competitive and critical of myself. I truly adore my job and the incredible clients I get to work with. I love hearing your stories and doing my absolute best to capture them. For me, photography is about more than just pretty pictures — it’s about preserving that spark between you and your significant other.

Hannah at Winn's Lens was an amazing, understanding, and great listener throughout our wedding day. The quality of her work was outstanding, stunning, and exactly what we asked for. She truly brought our special day to life, not only capturing incredible photos from every angle, but also helping to wrangle our wedding party and making sure my dress and hair stayed in place. Hannah was fabulous at working with our family and friends, and she was the highlight of our day - we couldn't have imagined it without her.

Doug was the DJ for my now sister-in-law’s wedding. Her wedding was so much fun, and when it came time to plan our wedding, she recommended we reach out to Douglas Adams Entertainment. We are so happy we did! Doug was so communicative and walked us through music for every part of our day. His program was super easy to use and allowed us to customize everything. His expertise was incredibly helpful! There were things my husband and I hadn’t considered, but after talking everything through with Doug, he gave us some great ideas that turned into memorable moments at our wedding. He even accompanied us to our final walkthrough at the venue to make sure he would be all set up for our big day. We truly cannot recommend Doug enough!

I’m Kelsi, a bridal makeup artist with a passion for helping clients feel like the most confident version of themselves. What started as casually helping a friend with weddings in 2020 quickly turned into my dream career. With a background in Communications and Marketing from Ohio State, I left the corporate world to follow my heart—and haven’t looked back since. I believe being “pretty” is a mindset, not a look. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty so you feel radiant, empowered, and authentically you on your big day. Let’s create your dream bridal look, together!

Face by Kelsi was the best decision I made for my wedding day beauty. Kelsi's communication was clear and adaptable throughout the entire process - from our initial consultation to the wedding morning. She is an incredibly skilled makeup artist, and I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to her work. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and even the officiant shared the same sentiment about Kelsi's talent. I would highly recommend Kelsi to any bride looking for a makeup artist who is both incredibly skilled and makes the entire wedding morning fun and relaxed. I would trust her to do my wedding makeup 10 times over.

Awarded Best of Zola
Initially, I had not intended to use a wedding planner. However, as the day drew nearer, I knew there was no way I could plan two weddings (one cultural, one American) without help. I chose Amber as a day of coordinator thinking that she would be just that – a person to handle everything day-of, but she was so much more. She was within our budget and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I already had minimal concerns about the wedding day, but Amber took any remaining worries and completely washed them away. She was exceptional from beginning to end, and working with our florist and décor, Amber created a space that exemplified class and elegance. We will never forget the first time we walked into the space she created for us, our family, and our friends. We genuinely could not imagine our day without you, Amber, and thank you so much for everything.

Hi there! I'm so glad you found me on this little corner of the internet. My name is Taylor, and I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. But I do love to travel and will go anywhere! I'm your golden sun, chasing love, wine night having, pizza eating, dog loving, crazy mess behind the camera.

So when you look at them you are brought right back to that moment in the years to come.

After all, you're why we love what we do! Contact us today and chat with Chad!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I booked Perfect Day DJs to perform at our wedding and it was better than we could have hoped for. When you first contract with DJ Chad, he provides an easy to use online portal that lets you select the perfect songs for those special moments throughout your wedding day, as well as an easy-to-use must play and do-not-play list. DJ Chad was also very supportive leading up to the big day offering to help in any way he could to help our day run smoothly. When our wedding day came DJ Chad played each of the songs on our must play list, perfectly mixing each one together through smooth transitions and keeping us on our feet! He was even able to encourage our non-dancing family members to make their way to out the dancefloor! Not only was he phenomenal and great to work with, but his wife, Mary of Chocolate Paper Studios is a fantastic photographer. They even have a package, "The Perfect Day with Chocolate on Top," where you can book your DJ and photographer together! This made planning our wedding so much easier for my husband and I, as two rather important parts of wedding were accounted for in one easy to digest package, which included a DJ and ceremony audio, an engagement photo session and 2 photographers on our wedding day! The planning portion was made even easier as when it was time to meet we were able to go over both the entertainment and photo options available. Payment was a breeze because we were able to pay both of them through one online portal. And most importantly when our wedding day came we had a team that not only works amazingly together, but truly understands the importance and significance of making the day perfect. If we could go back in time and plan our wedding again we would 100% book Chad and Mary and will always recommend their services in the future, they are a true dream team!

Rachel is absolutely the best wedding photographer we could have asked for to have at our wedding. She was amazing to work with, from the time we reached out to her with interests in hiring her, to easing us into different poses for our engagement session, to giving us opinions on what colors would photograph best (when we were struggling with deciding on colors for our bridal party), to taking amazing photographs at our fusion Asian-Western wedding (two ceremonies in one day)! She was such a joy to have and was amazingly accommodating when my relatives wanted to take photos on their own phone too during family photos. Everyone loved her at the wedding. She was so sweet to stay later than planned so I was able to have the veil pictures I’ve always wanted during golden hour but couldn’t get due to time constraints earlier that day. We absolutely loved our sneak peeks of the wedding and can’t wait to see soon! Would absolutely recommend her for any photography needs!!!

We’re Maurice & Carrie, a husband & wife team who met while working at a movie theater in the suburbs of Chicago when we were just 19. We stayed best friends across states as we followed different paths, ultimately finding ourselves living in Cincinnati, Ohio, reunited (and eventually married in November 2020). Firefly Productions grew out of a passion to do something that was positive & meaningful, and we named it after the fireflies we loved chasing & capturing as children on those hot, summer Illinois nights. We love road trips and obsessed with all things history. We'd rather take the back roads and discover new small old towns!

Firefly Production Videography was absolutely amazing! From the very first conversation, their clear, consistent, and thoughtful communication, warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. They captured our love and emotions so beautifully, and made us feel relaxed, seen, and cared for throughout our special day. The outstanding quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and we can relive the joy, laughter, and love of our wedding every time we watch our video. Their kindness, energy, and talent truly made our day unforgettable. We cannot recommend Firefly Productions, LLC enough.

We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music and energy were. Kevin was also incredibly friendly and made the whole process stress-free for us, which was a huge help on such a big day. One of the highlights of the night was his unique ‘4 Levels of Hype’—each level brought a whole new wave of energy and excitement that took our celebration to the next level. To top it all off, Kevin gave me (the groom) a moment I’ll never forget. He handed over the DJ equipment and let me play a couple of songs! Seeing all my friends pull out their phones and cheer me on was incredible—I felt like a celebrity in my own wedding! The quality of his service was impeccable, and we couldn’t be happier. Several of our friends are already talking about booking him for their own events! We can’t thank Kevin enough for making our wedding so unforgettable.

At Crown & Harmony, we believe your engagement should feel joyful, supported & beautifully intentional, not overwhelming or stressful. Your wedding is more than an event; it’s a meaningful celebration of who you are as a couple, & our role is to protect your vision, your time & your peace throughout the entire planning journey.

As a wedding photographer, I've worked with a lot of planners, and Crown & Harmony Events was such a pleasure to work alongside. They were organized, communicative, and kept the day running smoothly without ever making it feel rushed. Their couples are clearly well cared for, and it shows in how relaxed and present everyone is throughout the day. A great planner makes a difference not only for the couple, but for every vendor involved. Crown & Harmony created a collaborative atmosphere that made the entire day enjoyable, and I'd happily work with them again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any couple looking for a planner who is kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making their wedding day everything they hoped for.

I'm Libby, and my flower farm is tucked away in the (sometimes) sunny fields of Ohio. Mornings start with coffee and a moment with Jesus, while the kids and bees are already working hard. I'm hooked on both flowers and farming, and watching them grow side-by-side is pure magic. I love designing bouquets that burst with color and life, just like the blooms I nurture every season. When you choose my flowers, you're not just decorating, you're getting a slice of our joyful, messy farm life, infused with sunshine, strong coffee, and a whole lotta love.

I loved my bouquet so much I got it preserved. Couldn’t be happier with my decision. Libby was friendly and easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable.

Hi, I'm Karley - the heart behind West & Pine Photography. I believe wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. It's about telling the story of one of the most meaningful days of your life in a way that feels real and true to you. I'm passionate about capturing the little moments (and the big ones!) you'll want to relive forever - the laughs, the tears, and the dance floor magic. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, cared for, and completely present on your wedding day while I document it all with timeless, heartfelt photos.

There isn’t another soul on this earth who I would’ve wanted to capture the best day of my life. Karley is truly so talented and takes the most beautiful pictures for you to remember for the rest of your life. From our first call, to signing the contract, engagement pictures, planning the “day of” schedule, and receiving our wedding pictures, Karley was on top of everything and working with her was such a breeze in a stressful time. She lifted a lot of stress from my shoulders with her knowledge and guidance. I appreciate everything she did for us and I cannot wait to use her for future pictures!

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

My husband and I have been soooo fortunate to have been able to do multiple photo shoots with her! From our engagement photos(proposal), our engagement announcement photos, and finally our wedding pictures. She was perfectly and exceptionally able to capture all aspects from those days. I couldn’t think of anyone better to recommend from talent to professionalism and personality wise. Her work speaks for itself!
