I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Elizabeth Glorioso Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,595
  • Serves Lakewood, OH

With a degree in fine art, I have always been drawn to painting. Finding beauty in true life color and light in classic compositions, I choose to pick up a camera. After attending the Cleveland Institute of Art, I fell in love with documenting stories. Photography is about finding the beauty in story telling. Married to my handsome husband for 20 years, we have a outgoing theatre kid who has just started picking up a camera of their own.

Beth did an amazing job for our wedding! The pictures from the whole day turned out fantastic. Even though a wedding day can be super busy, she helped make sure everything went smoothly for us. All the pictures turned out perfect, and we loved them all. I would recommend Beth 10/10 times.

Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was filled with whimsy and charm - Original Weddings was able to capture that energy in video and film, so we can revisit that experience for a lifetime. Thank you for your attention to detail and level of care - we are overjoyed with the results! EXPERIENCE - We interviewed a few photography companies to compare prices, offerings, and aesthetic appeal; we ultimately decided on OW because they offered the best rates for videography and photography packages. From the beginning, the customer experience was favorable with multiple opportunities for touchpoints and planning. Their pricing is transparent and straight-forward; the add-ons will be tempting, and it will cost you. However, we appreciated that our interactions with the office staff weren't sales driven; they shared the options for add-ons without it being pushy. All communication and planning details are handled through a personalized portal and its the easiest way to ask questions and relay changes to the photography team. If you are someone that is not particularly organized, you'll love this feature and the imbedded questionnaires. They'll serve as a guide to crafting the look, identifying highlights to be captured, and a space for notes to the team working with you on the day of. During the wedding day, everything went smoothly and everyone was professional and personable. Their presence didn't feel intrusive and they expertly worked around our timeline to maximize efficiency. RESULTS - Our gallery was a fantastic mix of curated moments and candid memories. Each cluster of photos creates a timestamp throughout the day and it was a welcome reminder of all the small details of the wedding that can be easily missed among the shuffle of it all. In our package we stuck with 8 hours of photography and videography; electing afterwards to request the raw footage for an additional charge. I believe the quality of the photos and videos is phenomenal for the price - something similar may be double the price, especially if you're looking for more aesthetic/Instagramish vibe - we went traditional and it exceeded our expectations. SHOUTOUTS - I have to give special kudos to the team that worked directly with us. For planning and logistics, Sarah and Gabriella were attentive and quick to respond to questions. Sarah was very sweet and made our wedding feel like a priority and not just one of many they're juggling. I appreciate her collaboration on capturing the specifics to ensure even the smallest details were relayed to the team; and the results speak for themselves. The true heroes of the day were Pricilla, Sanaa, and Collin; they were the team tasked with documenting the magic of the day in a fashion that captured our essence as a couple. They quickly became a highlight of the experience - we hit it off immediately and their energy was uplifting and reassuring. We are eternally grateful for their patience with our families and the lighthearted approach they took to dealing with grumpier relatives. Overall, it was a beautiful day, and we are overjoyed to have been paired with this team because they did a phenomenal job.

Andrew Morrell Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Lakewood, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

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!

We had a great time working with Ashley for our wedding! When we first booked her she was communicative and quick to answer any questions we had. She helped out with our timeline and went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. We ended up having to adjust our timeline the day of due to some delays at our venue and Ashley was flexible and still able to get to all of the couples portraits we wanted. My husband and I are not the best at taking photos lol but Ashley was easy to work with and we got some great candid as well as posed shots. The photos turned out beautiful and there are SO many to choose from. Ashley also kept us updated throughout the editing process. Highly recommend booking her!

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Joe and Ashley! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t. The way they captured every little moment, every emotion—it’s truly priceless. Joe and Ashley are not just incredibly talented at what they do, but they also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who genuinely care, are highly organized, and will capture your wedding day in the most perfect way possible, look no further. We are beyond grateful!

Working with Human Artist Photography & Cinematic was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning—our engagement session—to the very last moments of our wedding day, their team went above and beyond to deliver a truly exceptional experience. Yevhen (our photographer), Serhii (our videographer), and their amazing assistant were all incredibly kind, professional, and just so easy to be around. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, while still managing to capture all the big, emotional moments and the quiet, candid ones we’ll treasure forever. What stood out most was their attention to detail and how seamlessly they worked together. It never felt staged or stiff—they somehow caught the true essence of our day with such artistry and grace. The final photos and video brought us right back to the moment, and honestly, we cried happy tears all over again.

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.

AR Treasures Photography was wonderful to work with on our wedding day. They were very responsive via text and email, making communication easy leading up to the big day. The quality of their work was good - they captured so many fun candids and beautiful outdoor shots that really highlighted the unique elements of our celebration. They perfectly captured a surprise horse and carriage ride, as well as special details like the dried leaves from our flower girl, maple helicopter seeds, and the groom playing on a seven-piece drum set. Rachel was lovely to work with and went the extra mile to ensure we were satisfied with the final photos from our wedding.

She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album.

I have always loved photography, people, and creating art. Weddings encompass all of that. There is nothing better than getting to know two people, learning their love story, and capturing the raw moments and emotion of one of the biggest days of their lives. I'm passionate (and perhaps a bit perfectionistic!) and I have photographed hundreds of weddings and portraits in Ohio since opening my business in 2011. I can't wait to see what comes next!

I have worked with Jen for the last few years within the photography business. She is by far one of the most empathetic and passionate photographers I have known. I enjoy capturing weddings along side Jen and watching her document the bride and grooms beautiful day. From “getting ready” photos to reception coverage, Jen always ensures that she captures every special moment for you. It’s truly a pleasure learning from one of the best!

Dragonfly Photography was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was at the top of our priority list. We wanted timeless images, but more than that, we wanted to find someone who would make the process easy and be someone we would enjoy spending time with on our wedding day. Just a few minutes into speaking with Dragonfly's lead photographer, Oona, we instantly connected and knew that she and her team would be the perfect fit to capture our wedding day. Oona is such a kind and genuine person, and her calming presence and positive energy is infectious. From day one, she really took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable. Throughout the planning process, she went above and beyond, working with our other vendors behind the scenes to ensure every base was covered. During the months leading up to our wedding, she even sent us reminders, items to pack, timeline suggestions, and genuine messages of excitement for my husband and I over the course of the planning process. It was truly a top-notch experience . The Dragonfly photographers are rare wedding professionals who truly listen to what is most important to YOU, and true cheerleaders for your wants and needs for your day. We will always cherish the photographs they took of us and are honored to have their work lining the walls of our home for years to come. Dragonfly Photography is worth every penny, and my husband and I could never imagine not having them by our side on the most important day of our lives. If they are available on your date, book them immediately!!

Vitaliy Photography provided exceptional service for our wedding day. Vitaliy was extremely responsive and attentive during the planning process, answering all of our questions promptly. On the big day, he brought a fun, energetic presence while remaining focused on capturing artistic, professional photos. Vitaliy will go to great lengths for the perfect shot! A highlight was the 'Kodak moment' video package we purchased, where videographer Vlad compiled footage from the day into a same-day video for our guests. This video was then dispalyed at our reception and it blew our guests away! Every single person at our wedding was raving about it and so were we. It was wonderful to give our guests a glimpse into our wedding day. This will be a moment we will cherish forever ! Overall, we were thrilled with Vitaliy's photography services. His passion shines through in the beautiful, creative photos he delivers while also making the experience enjoyable.

Liv Lobas Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Lakewood, OH

I’m Olivia—the photographer behind Liv Lobas Photography. I’m a coffee-loving, travel-obsessed storyteller who thrives on real connection and capturing the magic that unfolds when people feel truly seen. I genuinely love what I do, and I take the time to get to know each couple I work with. I know weddings can feel overwhelming, so I’m here to make the photography part relaxed, fun, and as stress-free as possible. With a great eye for detail and a deep love for natural light, I work in a mix of photojournalistic, natural, and contemporary styles.

Liv Lobas Photography was amazing to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was "we can in one" - they were so encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value was truly professional, fun, engaging and encouraging. We kept feeling like we weren't very photogenic people, but Liv kept correcting us and assuring us that we were wrong about that. From the engagement photos to the wedding day, Liv went above and beyond, always being on the move to capture every special moment. Liv is a true talent and is great at her craft, but she is also an amazing person. We love every single shot she took and are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully.
