VanDee Photo 
Rating: 3.6 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Ottawa, 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

Awarded Best of Zola
Upon our first meet with Meg we knew that she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Getting pictures taken can feel a little intimidating but Meg and JJ made my husband and I feel so comfortable that it felt as though we were just hanging out with friends. Their kind and professional attitudes quickly put to rest any insecurities we felt. They met with us for an engagement shoot and we quickly became very comfortable around each other. On our Wedding day Meg and JJ worked the full time gathering precious memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We honestly did not even take one photo together on our phones because we knew Meg and JJ had us covered and THEY DID! We just got our gallery back and every single shot is stunning. We chose to have an outside ceremony with a cozy inside/outside reception. Meg and JJ did such a great job at adjusting to the different lighting and capturing the day in the most honest light. If you are looking for a photographer that will make you feel comfortable, that will capture the colors of your day perfectly and you can trust to be there for every moment of the day then book with Meg and JJ. We can not thank or recommend them enough.

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.

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

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Abby was incredible for our entire day! From detail shots to the final pictures of the evening at our reception, she was there to capture it all. She is personable, organized, and detail oriented. The planning process from inquiry to our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without her! She helped with our timeline of the day. 10/10 would always recommend her for your photography needs.

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.

We cherish time with our favorite people watching movies or playing board games while eating tacos.

Diana and team were simply the best! You want a bestie during wedding planning, you want a hype girl as you just get into your wedding dress. Diana is your girl! I booked Diana after many other phone calls with other photographers, she spent literally an hour on the phone with me getting to know me, my fiance and our life. Never once did she mention her availability or prices. Which was really refreshing after having so many vendors treat you like just a paycheck. We became besties in that conversation. During our engagement session she cheered us on even tho we were so awkward in front of the camera. You could never tell by the photos! One word. Stunning! Diana will reach out periodically during the time up to the wedding and help with locations, other vendors and help with time lines. We had many conversations and most of them started with “how are we feeling about wedding planning”…. What vendor thinks like a best friend rather than a vendor in this day and age of wedding craziness… Swatch studios does! They go above and beyond! Day of wedding if I needed something Diana was right there cheering me on, it was 90 degrees on my wedding day and 90% humidity. I was a sweat mess, she kept saying like oh yes girl and pose like “ that’s my husband… yas!” Which honestly is why I’m obsessed with every single wedding photo we got back! When the time came for Diana to leave for the night. I cried because I was so sad our time get together was over. If my novel doesn’t convince you, that you need to at least schedule a chat with Swatch Studios … are you even a bride?!

From the moment we first reached out to Steel Halo Studio, their communication was clear, direct and to the point. The quality of their work and value was on-point, high quality, and perfect. They captured exactly what we were looking for, and we couldn't be happier with the photos that perfectly documented our special day. They had "sneak peaks" to us early the next day. Steel Halo Studio was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

Jenna is the most talented photographer and brings memories to life in her photos! She is flexible and knows how to navigate the wedding process in all aspects. Our pictures are beautiful and I am so happy Jenna was able to be the one to capture our wedding!

Her style leans documentary and a little wild, capturing celebrations as they actually felt. Based in Florida and available for travel worldwide.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

Sophie was amazing from start to finish! In October 2024 we had our engagement session. It was great to connect with Sophie and get more of a vibe of her style. We were able to choose 2 locations that happened to be pretty far from each other, but both sentimental in their own ways! We also ended up including our kitty in engagement photos which Sophie was very excited and supportive of. We’re so grateful to have our kitty forever documented as an important part of our relationship! Sophie was so fun to work with and cemented our choice to choose her as our wedding photographer. Then in July 2025 we got to see Sophie again for our wedding day! She was great leading up to the day — helpful in so many ways and also was open to our needs and wants. On the day of the wedding, we met her second photographer who was also great! Obviously as the client we aren’t able to make decisions and final calls regarding the second photographer. However, Sophie is a great judge of character so I knew that her choice would make sense for our vibe — and it absolutely did! Our families and wedding party loved meeting and chatting with both Sophie and her 2nd. They were a welcome addition to our special day. Sophie also brought a digital camera so that my bridesmaids could also capture certain aspects of our day in fun-early-2000s-style photos! My girls LOVED this and we loved how quickly we got those photos back. As with any wedding day, ours was not without ‘hiccups’. Our major hiccup was the unpredictable rain that day! From getting caught in the rain to moving the ceremony inside last-minute, Sophie did a great job of rolling with the punches and working with all our vendors to ensure things went as smoothly as possible. As for the photos, we are in LOVE with how everything turned out. It was hard to only pick a few for this review! We were looking for bright and airy photos that were authentic to the real-life experience. We got exactly that! We were also pleased with the mix of candid photos and posed. Sophie made sure that we had the traditional moments captured and the authentic lived experiences forever documented. I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie or even hire her again! She continues to be a welcome addition to our loved ones and we can’t wait to follow her work for years to come. If you’re looking for authentic and beautiful candids, group shots, portraits, and detail shots, look no further. Sophie does it all.

Hey there! We're Colleen and Amanda of Wild Embers Photography (formerly Rustic Light Photography). We are committed to ensuring you have the best experience ever that reflects your raw, unique, and wild love. We want to capture the wholly and unique YOU. We're your gals if you're into candid moments, raw emotion, and embracing spontaneity.

Photography was the number one priority for me when I was planning my wedding because I knew the day would fly by in an instant, and I wanted to remember every moment. Wild Embers Photography not only produced gorgeous images, but they produced A LOT of images - perfect for someone like me who wanted to remember every little detail. Amanda and Colleen were both so easy to work with, responsible, responsive, open to our ideas, and helped us troubleshoot through rough spots in the planning process. They made us laugh, taught us how to pose, and helped us genuinely enjoy our photo sessions for both our engagement and wedding photos. They fulfilled every expectation and beyond - and when there are so many moving parts when it comes to planning a wedding, it was nice to not have to worry about photography :)
