Portraits By Sean

  • Serves Youngstown, 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

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Youngstown, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, and I’m the oldest of five kids. I married my favorite person, Kevin, in 2023, and we have two cats, Yeti and Smokey. I’ve always loved bringing creative ideas to life, and after studying graphic design in high school, I found my passion in photography. I’ve been photographing weddings professionally since 2018 and have documented over 300 weddings. I love meeting amazing couples, celebrating their stories, and capturing genuine moments. Every wedding is different, and that’s exactly why I love what I do.

We had such a great experience working with Caitlyn Neapolitan Photography. From our first conversation, Caitlyn was sweet and easy to work with, and her communication never missed a beat. On our wedding day, she was exactly what we needed—she kept our wild wedding party in line and captured everything beautifully. We were also blown away by her thoughtfulness; she even grabbed my husband and me a snack from cocktail hour so we could take a quiet moment together, something we would've completely missed otherwise. The photos came out stunning and arrived quickly, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Caitlyn if you want a reliable photographer with a great personality who truly cares about making your day special.

Hello everyone! I'm Anna Sandmeier. I started my photography business because of my passion for capturing the moments around us. And I get to meet so many new, awesome people, I probably would have never met! I hope with every picture I can share JOY with you.

Anna and her team were so amazing. They were on time, prepared, and helped us not look awkward in our pictures. Sometimes photos feel like a chore, but Anna was quick and we stayed laughing the whole time. I absolutely LOVED how the pictures came out, the editing was perfectly done (and not overdone), and we are so proud to have our wedding photos displayed in our home. We get so many compliments! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous wedding (or anything else) photographer.

  • Starts at $3,200

Hey I’m Anna Craig - an intimate wedding and elopement photographer that specializes in capturing the authentic, honest, quiet moments of love stories. I’m a photographer for the untraditional couples, those who want a different kind of experience, those who value a new friendship vs just another vendor. I tend to think outside the box and things might get a little funky, so make sure you’re down for the ride. My work tends to come from an inspiration of film, in the forms of vintage vogue magazines, misty days where you can just barely feel like the rain on your skin, art museums, and a night drive. Can’t even wait to meet you

Even more than that, he made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire day.

Hey, hey my name is Ali. NY-based, but working nation-wide, I'm a wedding photographer who captures experiences, genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizes precious memories. I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

  • Serves Youngstown, OH

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a better photographer in any respect. Maya is extremely communicative, warm, welcoming, and excellent at what they do. I was incredibly nervous selecting a photographer because I had no idea what I was doing. During my first meeting with Maya, they put me completely at ease and walked me through the process, their photography philosophy, figured out what my spouse and I would/wouldn’t like in our photos, and even helped us get a sense of how our day’s timeline would go. Since we planned the entire wedding ourselves, their help even from this first meeting was invaluable. Maya and their partner the day-of were an absolute blast to have at the event. Even the usual stiff family formal photos felt fun and organic with their guidance, and they were always up for impromptu shots and suggestions. They make sure that their work is organic, dynamic, and really captures the essence of the couple’s relationship. I asked them to use my Polaroid alongside their professional gear and they were really enthusiastic about the prospect, so now I have a set of excellent Polaroids in addition to their amazing high definition work. My spouse and I will absolutely be going back to Maya in the future for more photography. Some advice: Don’t waste your time shopping around with other photographers. If you’ve found Maya, you’ve found the perfect wedding photographer.

Rachel and Andy were THE BEST!!!! They delivered the most beautiful pictures and video to us, exceeding our expectations. Not to mention how quick we received the pictures! Something I absolutely loved was how detail-oriented they were. Every shot that I had mentioned to them when we first started chatting, they made sure to incorporate on our big day, such as candids, small details, and black and white pictures. Last minute, I asked them if they’d be able to go to the location where the groomsmen were getting ready and just like that, they did! Super flexible and extremely great to work with.

Your wedding day will be one of the most real days of your life — full of emotions, laughter, happy tears, and the people you love most. It deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. I’m Aira, a documentary wedding photographer based in Maryland, available worldwide.

I take on limited weddings each year. If your date is available — let’s talk.

Aira and her fellow photographer did a wonderful job at our wedding. They were able to capture the entire evening from start to finish, starting with getting ready and ending with our mock send off. The quality of the photos is excellent, demonstrating both skill and creativity. The number of photos is also impressive, providing us with many options to print and remember for years to come. We are extremely pleased with how the photos came out and would highly recommend using them as your wedding photographers on your special day!

I'm Maria, a hybrid (digital and film), documentary oriented wedding photographer, with an intentional, refined and easygoing approach, serving NY, CT, NJ, PA and destination weddings and elopements. Everybody is welcome in front of my camera. In the 12 years I've been photographing weddings, I've photographed all kinds of couples, and the one thing they do have in common is they want to enjoy their celebration as much as possible, actually eat the hors d'oeuvre they took the time to choose, and don't want any awkward, stiff portraits that take too long and don't feel like them. I that sounds like you, I'd love to talk!

Maria and Scott are absolutely everything you could want from your wedding photographer!! Aside from their photos turning out gorgeous, it is a pleasure working with them throughout the whole process. When we were looking for a photographer, we wanted a balance of being present and enjoying our day while still feeling like all the important moments were captured, and that’s exactly what we got! It’s so nice looking back at our photos and feeling like they really captured it all, formal and candid. From first contact, to wedding day, to receiving our photos, each step was stress free. It really feels like we got everything we could have wanted working with them, and we’re so happy we had them to capture our day!!
