Iudiciani Photography went above and beyond for us! Both Dominic and Anastasia were cheerful and had good energy that helped a lot with managing the overall stresses of the day. Both photographers did really well with communicating with family members and guests during group photos, and had great ideas for the couple pictures. We love the style and the quality of all the photos we got! We 100% recommend Iudiciani Photography! Bonus if you pair them with LaRosa Media videography - they were the dream team! We love how our photos and video match in style and quality.

At Last Vow Studios, we don’t just document weddings. We craft legacy. Cinematic films. A refined blend of documentary and editorial photography. Professional DJ services to complete your wedding day experience and truly design the shape and energy of your day. We bring together artistry and expertise to deliver in a way that feels elevated, emotional, and enduring.

Working with S&LM was pretty good. They communicated to me closer to the event, and asked me for everything they needed and more. The pictures I have seen so far look great, and the small video I have seen looked good as well. They made sure I got almost all of the specific photos I wanted, and had a take-charge attitude while photographing, and making sure everyone was in the right place and looking great! The DJs were pretty good, but didn't know all the specific songs we mentioned that we wanted played for certain dances/moments. They also didn't announce the first dance until they were hitting the play button, which threw our choreography off until we asked them to restart! Unfortunately, some people missed our dance because they didn't know that it was happening. It still worked out in the end, and all the right songs were played at the right moments. All in all, I would definitely recommend Lights & Sound Media to prospective couples.

Birch Tree Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Navarre, OH

We are the award-winning husband and wife duo behind Birch Tree Photography. We met in engineering school and starting shooting weddings together before we were even married. After our two adorable boys were born, Nina wanted to focus on being the best mom possible, so she switched gears a bit and started focusing on things like our couples' experience, scheduling, and social media. She still shoots a handful of weddings with me throughout the year, when time allows (or if there are food trucks involved... hint hint!)

Working with Alex for our wedding was such a breeze and an amazing experience! From meeting him at the first time at the studio, to the shoot of our wedding day, it was all extremely comfortable and authentic. Not the mention the pictures were more astonishing that I could have asked for. There was not one thing I would have changed about working with Alex and the photos themselves.

  • Serves Navarre, OH

An editorial approach to wedding photography with a timeless feel—focused on real moments, natural connection, and beautiful light. I’m all about keeping the experience fun and stress-free, so your photos feel effortless and genuine.

From the very beginning, Andrew was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was always quick to response, extremely friendly and made the both of us feel comfortable. Being based in NYC but having our wedding in Cleveland, Andrew even squeezed in our engagement photos during one of his trips to NYC and we were truly so thankful for that. His photos are truly so beautiful. I was so in love with every single photo he captured during our engagement session. After receiving our preview images from our wedding, I had no idea Andrew could top our engagement photos yet he did! We are so excited to see the remainder of our wedding day. I would recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an amazing, kind, and wonderful photographer for their wedding! We cannot thank Andrew enough!

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I tell you that my friends and family all commented on how breath taking our photos were, I am not exaggerating! My (now) husband and I had the best experience working with Connie. From our initial conversations, I knew she was the right photographer for us. She is super warm, creative, professional, and responsive. I let her know my vision and brainstormed ideas, and the end product was truly remarkable. My husband and I were both nervous that we would be awkward and stiff but Connie guided us through all the poses and we truly had so much fun. I highly recommend Latek Photography to any brides to be!

From the very beginning when I came across her page I just knew she was the photographer for me. The detail in her work is truly something special. From the time we met she was more than respectful, friendly and filled with great energy. She is very professional and knowledgeable in her work. She communicated with me throughout the entire time leading up to the wedding and was very helpful with the wedding details and timelines. I knew I had no worries in this department. All of my family and friends can’t stop talking about our wedding photos. She knocked it out of the park! I can’t thank her enough for all of the work she did! A true pleasure to work with!

I'm Emily - a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer set on capturing intimate, joyful, authentic, & emotional photos. I want you to look back on your wedding photos not just love the way they look, but I want you to remember what the moment felt like. My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Awarded Best of Zola
Do you want your wedding photos to look like they should be in a magazine? Do you want something that is gorgeous with a little bit of 'tude on the side? Do you feel like you're going to be super awkward in photos but yet still want these results?? Then call Emily right now! We worked with Emily for an engagement shoot, boudoir shoot and wedding photos and the experience I had with all 3 of those sessions were top notch. Emily "got our vibe" right away and her personality immediately put us at ease, and for reference,I usually run at around an 8 anxious at all times and my husband is an accountant and hates being in the spotlight. I can't stop looking at all of the photos we received from all of these shoots and my friends keep telling me how obsessed they are with our photos. On an emotional note, Emily captured all of the elements from our wedding that you spend so much time on, but don't really get a chance to truly "look at" on the day, and I SO appreciated seeing all of those images in our photo collection just as much as the literal works of art that are our wedding portraits.

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Navarre, OH

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

The thing I love most is that the photos feel so real. You can see the emotions, the nerves, the joy, the love it’s all there. Nothing looks fake or posed. The video feels the same way, like a documentary of our happiest day. My favorite part is watching my husband’s face when I walked down the aisle it gives me chills every time. They caught things I didn’t even see, like my bridesmaids laughing while waiting. Every time I look through the album, I see something new. It’s honestly the best gift I could have asked for.

These ladies are phenomenal! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From our first chat over zoom, we knew instantly that we could trust them and that they would capture us, not just a one-size-fits-all deal. They truly capture each couple in their own unique way and you can tell just by looking at their work. I’m so glad we did an engagement shoot first, because it got all the nerves out for us and we got to build more of a relationship with them before our day. We are not people who like being in front of cameras, but their enthusiasm and professionalism put us, especially me, at instant ease! The photos turned out great even with it being an unforcasted rainy and unusually hot fall day. And the wedding, holy moly! They had to wrangle all sorts of family dynamics and chaos while still taking beautiful photos in the rain. Not sure how that happened, but they made it all seem so easy and we had so much fun with them! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! …Not one thing! We received our first look photos in no time after the wedding and we are in love already. Can’t wait to see the rest! We will definitely be contacting them again in the future. Wherever you are in your photographer search (and reading reviews like this), just stop and set up a chat now. You will not be disappointed!
