In my free time I love celebrating each new milestone with my daughter, getting wrapped up in the next best anime series, or trying to be the next superstar in Mario Party.

From the moment we first spoke, Rebecca was incredibly personable and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Her bright, colorful, and beautiful work provided excellent value, giving us beautiful photos that our guests continue to rave about.

VanDee Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Maria Stein, OH

VanDee Photo is ran by, me! Alyssa VanDusen. I have been photographing most of my life but VanDee Photo was born in 2021 I am located in NW OH and primarily serves this area- but have never turned down the chance to travel. I specialize in a very hands off documentary approach which is the BEST for anyone who feels like maybe staring into the lens is a bit awkward (Guilty!) This specialty gives me the freedom to document life as it is. That's why photography became a thing after all ( ; Since I have to get to know you guys to plan a shoot that feels natural to you, all sessions require some form of consult.

Alyssa of VanDee Photo was incredibly patient and accommodating to our needs. We really appreciated her taking the time to get to know our story and being so professional through our engagement photo shoot and wedding day. She is super awesome

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Meg & JJ multiple times and really appreciate their observant and down-to-earth nature. They are so genuinely sweet & truly care about the experience they give to their clients. Many vendors in this industry can be very focused on themselves and their portfolio first, but I truly believe that Megan cares deeply about her clients. Her husband JJ is a great supporting teammate & is a strong second photographer. Hire this dynamic duo to capture your day and you won't regret it!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Maria Stein, OH

I'm Julia - a traveling wedding and elopement photographer based in Northwest Ohio. You deserve to have your story told in an organic way. The problem many of us face (myself included) is that so many of us find it difficult to step in front of a camera. One of my biggest passions is relieving people of that anxiety. I will get to know you for YOU, and then I'll capture it in a way that you won't even notice I have a camera in my hand. This will probably involve some craft beer, or (let's be honest), a shot of tequila. But, I'll also lead you through a series of prompts and guide you through every single step.

Working with Julia was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she completely understood our vision and absolutely nailed the brief. On the wedding day, she was organized, thorough, and encouraging, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She coordinated seamlessly with her second shooter and team, kept the shot list perfectly on track, and managed a very large group for posed pictures with ease and kindness. Julia curated a wedding gallery that truly reflects our style while adding her own artistic touch. The result is something unique and beautiful that feels entirely ours. We have never received so many compliments in our lives, every photo is a reminder of how special the day felt. Best of all, Julia worked quickly. She sent us preview pictures within 24 hours of the wedding, and she turned around the rest of the photos quickly too, taking only a few months to edit. She didn't compromise quality and everything is cohesive. Truly stunning! Her energy was warm, uplifting, and genuine throughout the process. We are endlessly grateful for the memories she captured, and we would work with her in every lifetime

I’m a, wife, momma, and urban chicken-owner. I’m originally from Bluffton, Ohio where I also attended the University majoring in art and graphic design. I love my family fiercely. I am a giant sucker for reality tv shows, but not the crazy drama ones. Vacations are my jam, and my favorite is our annual week long trip to the Smokies on our Harley. Just me, the hubs, and the oh so beautiful mountains. *Sigh*…I’d love to call that place home. What’s your story? I’d love for you to tell me! My favorite thing about this job is connecting, loving, and serving my clients. I try to make taking photos easy and fun for all involved.

I’ve worked with Lydia on several events. She takes it to a whole new level. She makes my work look like a dream. I love working with her and can’t wait to see the results when she’s done. I display her work in my office whoever I can because she makes my job look easy !! Can’t say enough good things about her work

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

Out of all the wedding decisions we had to make, picking them was the easiest and best one. I didn’t have to worry for a single second on the wedding day. They took care of everything so calmly, it actually helped me relax. The photos are breathtaking, they captured my husband’s huge smile when he saw me for the first time. The video literally makes me cry every time I watch it, and my friends say it feels like something from Netflix. They made sure to include all the people that mattered to us, so no one feels left out. I love the small candid ones, like my grandma laughing at the reception. Those are the things you never want to forget. They were more than just photographers, they were like extra support for me that day. I’d choose them again a million times.

Your wedding day isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. My role is to preserve the feeling of that day so it can be experienced again for generations to come.

This review is a tad late but I got married in November 2024 and booking with Bree Lea Photography was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day. Bree's communication style is clear, welcoming, understanding, and creative. Her work is meticulous, intentional, high-quality, and priceless. Bree made sure our wedding day felt seamless and not rushed - she even traveled to different locations to photograph our wedding party hours before the ceremony. Bree had continuous communication leading up to our big day and never made us feel stressed. She even helped create our wedding day schedule when we didn't know where to start! She found herself in the city of my wedding while she was on VACATION and told me she scouted it for the best shooting areas...did I mention she was on VACATION? She went above and beyond with amazing communication, stellar photographs, and on top of that she has a kind soul and was an absolute treasure to work with. You would be lucky to book with such a talented, fun, relatable photographer for your big day! I'll def be reaching out to her again for smaller shoots in the future.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.
