Hi, I’m Kelly — the heart and camera behind Kelly Nicola Studio based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I specialize in weddings, elopements, and couples portraits. My style is classic and romantic with artistic, editorial touches; my editing is natural, and emotive. I hold a degree in Hospitality with a minor in Event Planning, which shaped how I see weddings: with an eye for detail, flow, and the experience as a whole. Every couple gets a complimentary consultation to ensure we connect and create photos that feel authentic and timeless.

I Kelly is so wonderful! She really helped make our day special. She paid great attention to our style and personalities and was more than willing to help us in any way we needed. Her work is also incredibly beautiful! She sent us our sneak peeks shortly after our wedding and I just can’t stop staring at them. She does amazing work and I can’t wait to see our full album!

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!

Based in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia PA, Reflections Media Pennsylvania is a collective of photographers, videographers, & content creators who capture weddings and events.

For each couple, these professionals aim to provide affordable services, high standards of customer care, and stunning photographs and videos to treasure for a lifetime. Our deposit is 20% down to book and the remaining balance can be broken down into 3-4 increments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Reflections Media Pennsylvania as our wedding photographer and were very happy with their services. They were great at communication - thoroughly documenting details over email and phone calls leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they jumped right in to capture candid moments as they happened. For example, they photographed all of our guests arriving at the cocktail hour with us. The photos turned out beautifully, really capturing the spirit of our wedding at a fair price. My only minor critique would be that it was hard to pose for some of the more formal shots because the photographer didn't do a countdown before snapping the pic. And unfortunately due to the event timing, we were not able to take as much photos with the family/bridal party as we had wanted in our consultation. I would recommend couples to keep in mind specific shots during the wedding; the wedding day was extremely hectic for us but it would have been nice to have the photographer (us as well) remember our consultation on what shots we were important for us for them to photograph. But overall, I'd recommend Reflections Media to other couples looking to preserve memories of their special day.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

I could write a novel about how incredible it was to work with Mary during our engagement and wedding! Getting our photos back from Mary was overwhelming because she truly captured everything we wanted and asked for, and so much more. There were so many people and moments I left our wedding day thinking we hadn’t captured, but when I looked at our final album, all those missing moments were present. All the hugs with lifelong friends, laughter with guests, the many beautiful couples who joined us, and all the fun we had dancing with our closest friends at the end of the night. It was the best, most special day, and thanks to Mary we’ll be able to relive it all for the rest of our lives. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Forever grateful for Mary’s talent, professionalism, and kindness on our special day. If you’re looking for beautiful pictures and a super cool, fun human to take them for you, Mary is your girl!

KellyB Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first reached out, the communication was fantastic.

KellyB was responsive, professional, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. The photos she captured of our special day are absolutely stunning - she has an incredible eye for detail and making sure we had fun while taking them. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend KellyB Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer. She truly captured the essence of our gothic Romance.

Dani helped us with choosing our elopement location in Colorado! She listened to our must-haves for our location and provided us a list of options with info on permits and everything. She made the elopement process so easy! We picked our location off her advice :) We also had snow hit the day of our elopement and since it was just my husband & I plus the photographers, (Dani & Jed), she let us adjust our elopement time to get the best experience in the elements. They also followed my husband & I to our restaurant where we had dinner and took some amazing candid photos our first dinner as husband and wife. Such an incredible team and incredible experience. Hiring them was the best decision we made when we decided to elope!!

It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Nas was absolutely phenomenal!! We just loved working with her on our wedding day. From the first phone interview, she was professional, courteous, and really wanted to get a feel for our vision of the day. At the wedding, she remained unobtrusive while still managing to capture every memorable detail—we never felt uncomfortable about the camera being there and it all felt very organic. She had an amazingly quick turnaround on the pictures, and we got a sneak peak then received our full gallery before the estimated 30 days! I was extremely satisfied with the number and quality of the pictures: they were true to life and any color editing enhanced, rather than altered, the photos. She did a fantastic job of helping us pose while making the photos look effortless and candid. For the quality, time, effort, and product, I would say that the price we paid was MORE than reasonable. Even my husband, who is very frugal and not big on taking/ looking at pictures, said "wow, this was really worth the money" when we saw the gallery. Without any prompting! To anyone getting married and looking for a photographer, I could not recommend Nas enough!! Although I have HUNDREDS of photos to love and cherish, here are a few of my personal favorites that I think highlight Nas's range, talent, and skill.

If we had to plan our wedding all over again, Cass would be the first call! I found Cass through a recommendation from another photographer and we were so blessed that have done so. She shot my surprise proposal in a different state and even came back to my then fiancé’s house to take pictures at the after party. On our wedding day, she was so professional and absolutely incredible. She had worked with us to make a plan and executed it flawlessly. We took some family pictures during cocktail hour and she commanded the space so well to make sure my wife and I were able to have some fun and see everyone else. Not only did we get our pictures back incredibly fast, they were also above and beyond in terms of the shots she captured and the editing. Our families and us will forever be grateful for how she was able to capture our special day. (Shout out her second shooter Nathan as well!) Cass is a phenomenal photographer and an even better person. Her communication with us before, during, and after was fantastic. We are so glad we were able to meet and feel like we have a new friend. You do not want to miss out on working with her!

I’m a documentary-style wedding photographer with a true-to-color approach, focused on capturing real moments as they naturally unfold. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease, without turning the day into a production or pulling you out of the moment. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

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.

To capture your big day in a way that fills you with all the feels, every time you look at those photos. I'm all about having a blast and creating memories that will make you smile from ear to ear. Weddings are all about love, laughter, and those precious moments that take your breath away. And guess what? I'm on a mission to freeze those incredible, candid instants so you can relive them over and over again.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!
