  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Toledo, OH



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

Sokol & Co Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (29 reviews)
Toledo, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600

Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are eternally grateful for Sokol & Co! Savannah truly goes above and beyond as a photographer, from the calls and zooms and the day of assistance I couldn’t have been happier with her capturing our wedding day. Our wedding photos are so beautiful crafted with candid photos and stunning detail shots. We are so thankful that we have made such an amazing friend during the wedding planning process, and we look forward to Sokol & Co capturing our future family milestones.

We’re just a few midwest kids who love pursuing lots of fun hobbies and having a good time. On any given day, you could find us reading a book, watching our favorite show, crocheting a blanket or doing a puzzle (or all 4 things at once!). We try not to take ourselves too seriously, we pet every dog we can and we will never give up trying to keep our houseplants alive (emphasis on ‘trying’). We cherish time with our favorite people watching movies or playing board games while eating tacos.

We had the most amazing experience with Swatch from start to finish. Our engagement session was perfect, despite the rainy day. I can’t BEGIN to explain how wonderful our photographer Claire was on our wedding day. The sneak peeks blew our minds and we can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery. HIGHLY recommend!

Hey!! I'm Eden :) I am a documentary style wedding photographer who loves the unique, thoughtful weddings where people do what's true to them. I love my work to be a collaboration of ideas between me and my couples to create something truly special and meaningful to them. All of my best friends are past brides and fellow photographers, and I love getting to share in such an important season with so many amazing people every year. I've been diving into shooting film photos the past few years and love the element it adds to a final wedding gallery as well. I love getting to know who people are and letting that shine through the photos.

Eden did our wedding photos this year in September. It took me most of the summer searching for a photographer and finding Eden was a dream come true. Her photography is beautiful. She is easy to work with, professional and she even worked out an affordable wedding package for us. I love our wedding photos!!

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.

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.

I had a wonderful experience working with VanDee Photo for my wedding. Alyssa was quick to reply to any questions or requests I had, and she was always there when I needed her. You can tell Alyssa loves what she does - she was so friendly and quickly became a part of the family! She was with us every step of the way!

I've been photographing weddings full time since 2011. When I'm not chasing after wedding parties, my husband and I live to travel. We're avid scuba divers, love exploring, and get overly excited when we find a new brewery or speakeasy. We met at the University of Michigan and we stayed in Ann Arbor because it felt too much like home to leave.

Awarded Best of Zola
We started the process with Chelsea over a year before our wedding and interviewed several photographers. Chelsea had the best communication style, knew the area extremely well, and had pricing in our budget. The engagement shoot around Ann Arbor was perfect, including pictures near iconic buildings, hideaways, and our favorite bar. The pictures turned out great and we knew we were in good hands for the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Chelsea worked with us to create the schedule, list of must-have pictures, and work through logistics. We booked a 2nd photographer through Chelsea as well, Amanda, who was also amazing. Chelsea arrived early on the day to scope out picture locations around our getting ready hotel and found a beautiful first look spot. She found beautiful spots for our photoshoot in Greenfield Village too. Chelsea and Amanda handled our large family photos after the ceremony like the pros they are. We've received our "sneak peek" photos (over 100 pictures!) and are thrilled we went with Chelsea.
