You’ve got the ring, found the dream destination or venue, definitely at least thought about the dress - now all you have to do is find THE photographer. The one who’s down to travel, down to party, and most of all, down to help you perfect alllll the details of your dream day. I’ve been photographing intimate weddings in Ohio + beyond for the last 10 years - there’s nothing I don’t know about getting hitched, and nothing I don’t love about it.

Fullem Films 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Lorain, OH
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hello! I'm Danny and I've wanted to be a filmmaker since I was seven years old. Wes Craven's "Scream" was the catalyst for having a camera in my hands. I have a need to tell stories that resonate with people and make them feel something. ​ I also happen to be a HUGE sap. I love filming weddings because I genuinely love seeing people at their absolute happiest. The opportunity to turn that happiness into art that couple's can look back on is so gratifying.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny is wonderful to work with!! I am a wedding photographer and I have gotten to work with him a few times! I will always recommend him! He is courteous, pays attention to detail and is extremely helpful throughout the day! He always has a smile on his face and will help out with anything needed! You will not go wrong having Danny be a part of your special day!

Hi! My name is Ciara and photography has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I can remember, I've had a camera in my hand. Something about capturing beautiful moments for others, brings light to my soul! In my spare time, I love to camp, cook and spend time with my husband and son. My family is a very big part of my life so I also enjoy getting together with everyone & making memories of my own. I would love if you considered me to be a part of your special day! Thank you & hope to see you soon!

Ciara & her husband were a great addition to the perfect day. Ciara walked us through certain parts of the day that we never even thought of beforehand. The pictures turned out perfectly, especially considering we are not naturals in front of the camera. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Merkels Floral Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Lorain, OH

Founded in 1940, when we say we have decades of experience, we really mean it. Since then our love for flowers and our team has only grown. Day to day you can catch us designing floral arrangements and delivering them by the truck full. We source locally whenever possible (of course). We especially love weddings and just adore our brides. Aside from that, we are probably spending any other spare time cheering on fellow entrepreneurs and our favorite vendors of this industry. We love to pour back into our city by supporting local events, schools, and the animal shelter. And we could go on of course, but there is a word limit :)

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first got engaged I knew immediately that I wanted Kristin and her team at Merkels to be our florist. Kristin's attention to detail, willingness to try anything, and overall easy-going personality made the entire planning process with her so smooth. When we sat down to discuss the vision I had for my wedding I told her I was thinking blues, purples, whites, and I wanted the entire place to give off a coastal Italian vibe - which I was positive made no sense, but Kristin was the biggest yes-woman. She immediately understood what I wanted and was so helpful when sitting down to discuss what I was thinking for the wedding. On top of this, she was incredibly conscious of our budget and worked with me to make sure I got everything I wanted within my price range! Another thing I never got to compliment on was her memory & attention to details; I had asked for Dahlias and Peonies in my bouquet if possible - knowing it was probably not going to happen as they weren't in season ... BUT SHE GOT THEM which I did not expect at all. From our altar and signage, to the centerpieces and bouquets, Kristin and her team exceeded my expectations by 1000%. I would not change a single thing. Kristin, we love you so much, and cannot thank you enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tyson at Skinnyboy Media provided the music for my brother’s wedding two years ago and did such a fantastic job catering the playlist to the couple’s preferences and personalities that I was impressed beyond belief. It was exactly them. When I got engaged last year, I was hoping against hope that Skinnyboy would be available for my wedding. And he was! Tyson took the time to get to know me and my husband and asked us about the type of music we wanted at our ceremony and reception. He was willing to find the exact songs I wanted played for certain elements of my wedding day and even took the time to find out what I DIDN’T want played. Skinnyboy Media made an event filled with 80 people feel unique and personalized to my husband and me, but also had all of our guests engaged in what became just a really great party atmosphere.

When researching venues to have our wedding we kept coming back to this one and got married here in October. We loved the outdoor ceremony space, which was absolutely stunning with all of the fall colors. We loved the reception space for its spaciousness and what we could do with it, it was the perfect space for a fun filled reception. From the beginning everyone we worked with was very helpful and always thorough when answering any questions we had throughout the planning process. We had SO many guests from our wedding compliment our venue we chose and everyone asked where we found it! It was the perfect place for our wedding and couldn't have been more beautiful.

I never had professional makeup done with the exception of 1 time so I don’t know much about makeup, hair or looks. But Gabriel was able to bring my vision to life. I just told her what things I like for example I said Amy whinehouse a lot! And bold, skinny face, shiny cheeks and wings! She made that vision come to life with both hair and makeup. She traveled to me for the trial run and it was a seamless experience! The day of my wedding she showed up early and although we had a issue with our room she was able to work in a tight space full of 20 people in and out with kids running around while smiling the whole time! When we did my makeup I did last minute changes and with no complaint or holdback she did those changes for me. My hair? Beautiful! She also did one of my bridesmaids makeup that I am still in awe over, my maid of honors hair and eye makeup, and my moms hair which I have NEVER seen my mom look the way she did. And I mean that in such a good way! Her prices are the BEST I have ever seen especially with how far she traveled to me for both trial and wedding day. I’d recommend her to anyone! I’m not one to leave reviews ever unless I enjoy their work! Thank you so much for giving me the best wedding morning experience and making me feel so beautiful through my insecurities

For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for creating in any capacity. It wasn't until I picked up a camera that I found out what my favorite type of creating was. Being creative is what I do, simple. I am from Northeast OH. My favorite thing to capture would have to be a toss up between sports and weddings. I love to workout and think fitness is important. But most importantly, God is the head of my life and I wouldn't be where I am OR where I'm headed without him.

In brief, we cannot recommend Meadow Ridge highly enough--the venue is beautiful and unique, but more than that, working with Seneca and her team is a pure joy! They are organized, thoughtful, responsive, and caring. They make you feel like family from the first time you meet and the investment in the success of your wedding day is incredible. Lastly, I was nervous planning a multicultural event with integration of Indian and American wedding traditions in rural Ohio and all our requests and details pertaining to Indian cultural aspects were beautifully integrated into the wedding day! It is clear that hosting excellent and memorable weddings is a proud commitment for the Meadow Ridge team, not just a job they have. Venue: large, beautiful outdoor venue with a covered pavilion. To quote our friend, "I've been to a lot of barn weddings, yours was not a farm wedding, it was a fairytale." The flowers were stunning, the grass was lush, the pond lined with reeds and tall grassed, the sunset was out of a painting. There is a new patio in the larger pavilion which we used as our dance floor, so our guests danced the night away under the stars. The photography team Suzuran has stunning pictures of Meadow Ridge across several seasons! Communication/Planning: Seamless communication with the team, Seneca was always easy to reach and responsive, answering our infinity questions meticulously and graciously adjusting her plans when we had to change ours. Service: So thoughtful and caring, we and our guests were blown away! For instance, the bartenders kept track of what drinks we had as the bride and the groom and came to find us with refills. One of the servers brought over tissues when my parents and I started crying before walking down the aisle. As we mentioned, the integration of elements of Indian culture was phenomenal--Seneca was receptive from our first conversation and worked hard to make our hopes a reality. Having our wedding at Meadow Ridge was an absolute privilege and the success of the day is fully reflective of the incredible team we got to work with--we are just so grateful!

I cannot begin to describe how happy we are that we booked Basil Place for our wedding. I planned our Cleveland wedding from out-of-state, and Michelle from the get-go was so flexible in setting up tours for my family and fiancé when we got into town. First, I'll speak about the venue itself: it is absolutely the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The whole farm is surrounded by beautiful nature, trees, and ponds, and rolling pastures. We were able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony, get ready in the carriage house, and use the manor house for pictures, hanging out, and pre-wedding snacks. Our reception was in the barn, which is so gorgeous and opens up onto a patio with views of rolling fields and reflecting ponds (which are stocked with bass if you feel like fishing like some of our guests did!) There was so much space for our reception we were able to set up cornhole and spikeball outside the barn which made for such a fun evening. Our guest loved taking pictures all around the property. I cannot say enough good things about how perfect this venue was for our wedding! I also have to mention how absolutely wonderful and above and beyond Michelle and her staff were throughout every step of the wedding process. Michelle truly feels like family to us. She made the process so easy and was so accommodating to all of our requests. She checked on us so many times leading up to and the day of the wedding- we truly felt so taken care of It is so apparent that this is not just a business to her, but truly her passion. Their preferred caterer, A Taste Of Excellence, was hands-down the best experience with a caterer we've ever had. Mikaela was so kind and flexible, and the food was absolutely to die for we were so impressed with them that we had them cater our welcome dinner as well. They do so many weddings at basil place that they are very familiar with set up and where to go, which makes for that much smoother of a day. All the catering staff were so kind and friendly and added to the positive atmosphere. In summary, if we could go back in time, we would choose Basil Place 100 times over!!

I have been lucky enough to have Emily do my makeup for multiple weddings the past few years. Compared to any other makeup I have ever had done, Emily’s work is by far the best. I gave her direction that I would like a natural/pretty look that still made me feel like myself and she did exactly that. I wish she could do my makeup everyday! She is also very calming and pleasant to be around and made it a great experience. I highly recommend her to everyone.

She was incredibly hard-working, helpful, and creative, truly going above and beyond as a perfectionist to ensure my bridal hair was flawless. I had gone through two disappointing trials with my initial stylist, but then I found Hollie and she was able to get me scheduled quickly and ended up being my saving grace when it came to my wedding day look. Hollie's skilled hands created the perfect bridal hairstyle, and I was so grateful to have her expertise on my special day. Thank you, Hollie!

I've known I wanted to be a photographer since middle school. Then I fell in love with love and still get emotional at each wedding I photograph. I'm an extroverted introvert that loves music, food and talking about random facts.

From the moment we first spoke with Paige, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Quite literally, she was the very first wedding vendor of any sort that we met! Her communication style was open, accommodating, and amazing. The quality of Paige's work is simply beautiful, and her services were incredibly adaptable to us and worked within our budget without any stress. On our wedding day, Paige felt like one of the family and did an amazing job capturing all of our best moments, from the ceremony to the reception. Her creative ideas for photos of my husband and I doing what we love were spot on, and the final images are truly breathtaking. From our engagement session to the very last moment of our wedding, Paige was the perfect photographer to document our special day.
