I absolutely loved working with Ryan & Nicole. Wonderful work. They made me and my husband so at ease considering we aren't the most photogenic couple. our engagement photo session was perfection and our wedding photography was seamless. I abso...
lutely recommend working with them. Bonus, they are absolutely hilarious and so friendly.
Brass Key photography people are amazing people who offer AMAZING work. The quality and imagination they have for their photos are outstanding and that’s all you need to be happy with. No matter what this company believes in or stands for has n...
othing to do with the quality of their business. Just because it says in the Bible that loving the same sex is a sin doesn’t mean we shouldn’t love them. Their sin is no grater than yours. If you have told a lie that is the same in Gods eyes.
Nicole and ryan are amazing, They take the most beautiful pictures and will work hard to make sure they do. If you and looking for a great team who's willing to go above and beyond. Brass key is your team.
Any questions?
Nicole and Ryan did senior portraits for my daughter. They were absolutely gorgeous! My daughter didn’t even want to get her pictures done, because she wanted to lose weight first. They went out of their way to make her feel special and beautif...
ul. They will do the same for any occasion! On a side note, I’ve noticed people leaving reviews about them discriminating against peoples religions. Nicole and Ryan love all people and will do an amazing job with your photos! I think it’s unfair of these people to leave slanderous reviews. I also don’t understand how hatred of others not like you is justified by “religion”
I have not personally booked this vendor but I can say that this family is amazing and I would recommend them purely because they DO NOT DISCRIMINATE! They would gladly be your photographer if you are gay, straight, transgender, or however you ...
identify yourselves. Book this vendor to make your day just as special!
I was the father of the bride for a back yard wedding. Ryan and Nicole made sure our whole day ran smoothly. They kept us on track for time time well. They kept my daughter calm the whole day. The photo I have of my daughter before we walk down...
the isle is one of my favorites.

Your daughters wedding was AMAZING! A huge father of the bride style wedding of 300 guests under a clear tent in the backyard of an amazing house with food trucks... what more could a bride ask for? You did a great job raising one of the most...

Nicole and Ryan were great! They took awesome engagement photos despite the Cleveland rain. On the day of our wedding they were prepared, kept us on track with time, and remained calm! They captured everything we wanted and more! It was a long ...
day, but I'm so happy they were there so I don't forget a moment! They are able to take lifestyle photos and posed photos and both styles are perfect. I highly recommend them both!

You and Julia were so lucky! I dont think there are many people in Cleveland who can get photos of themselves on E. 4th during the day on a weekend with NO ONE else outside! You two rocking it in the rain was awesome & we loved working with y...
ou guys!
Nicole and Ryan did amazing on our engagement session! So happy we chose this dynamic duo to photograph our big day! They were both very courteous and Nicole has become like a best friend to me! Super excited to see them again!
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2020
Thanks so much Tanya. We pride ourselves in being friends long term with almost all of our couples!
I considered Brass Key to photograph our wedding because they had such high reviews on The Knot. We went back and forth to schedule a meeting and review their contract which is when I discovered that they have a non-disparagement clause in thei...
r contract. This means that we can't see anyone's actual feedback from a negative experience on here or any other website, so I don't believe we can trust these reviews. I feel a non-disparagement clause is very uncommon with wedding vendors and I don't understand why they'd have to put this in their contract if they could stand by their work alone. Not everyone will be happy with how you perform, but disallowing honest reviews that negatively reflect on the business means that you can't weigh the pros and cons to make a fair decision as the customer.
Edit: I’ve seen the vendor’s response. I decline to remove the review or give my real name as this vendor’s response feels very aggressive, but trust me, I’m not a competing photographer. If the information the vendor provided to The Knot was enough, my review would be taken down. I stand by what I read. There was a non-disparagement clause when the contract was provided to me, so if it’s gone now, we’re all better for it.
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2020
We want to address a few things regarding this review & respond because after 10 years of a flawless reputation, it’s very out of the ordinary to see a 1 star review. #1. We have never had an inquiry from anyone named Natalie so we do believe ...
this review is false and may even be created by another vendor. #2. The section we have in our contract is in fact NOT a non-disparagement clause, so if you are viewing our contract, you are reading the section in question wrong. We have already submitted legal proof to the knot from our attorney that the verbiage in our contract is being misunderstood/misinterpreted so this review is not only incorrect, it is sharing false information as well. #3. We maintain a friendship of sorts (facebook, instagram, etc) with nearly EVERY single couple we have ever worked with in 10 years! We really enjoy watching our couples grow as a family. We get to celebrate their lives and milestones like buying a house, sharing pregnancy announcements and then photographing their kids and families for years beyond their weddings. I’m sorry you felt the need to leave this slanderous false review under a fake name for no other reason than to tarnish our reviews record, but our honest reviews from every client are 100% earned. We work hard to maintain our reputation and we go above and beyond what 99% of photographers do from the very first meeting alone! Read our reviews… they speak for themselves. Were sad to see this review is not at all fact based nor is it a legitimate review of our services. We would appreciate you reconsidering tarnishing a reputation we have worked so hard for and put our heart and soul into for over 10 years and remove this false review. Edit "Aggressive" Yeah no kidding. You're selfishly destroying a perfect reputation over literally nothing. You are a terrible person! Karma ALWAYS circles back around.
We had an amazing experience working with Nicole and Ryan! We chose them as our wedding photographers because we not only loved their photos but also their fun and energetic personalities! We could not have been happier with our choice! Our eng...
agement photos were beautiful and I was so happy to use them for our save the dates! On the day of our wedding, Ryan and Nicole were phenomenal! We had a large wedding party (20) and we also ran into some trouble with the planned photo locations. They were super flexible and creative with picture ideas and they turned out beautiful! I was so thankful for them as they handled finding different locations and I was able to enjoy the day without stressing over the issues that came up. Working with such a large group was not easy but they kept everyone on track and got so many wonderful pictures while keeping to our schedule!
Fast forward three years, we now have two young children. We worked with Nicole and Ryan for a seasonal family photoshoot and once again they did a fantastic job! Even with my sassy two year old (who was not exactly cooperative) they were so patient and took their time to capture the perfect pictures! It’s obvious Nicole is great with children as she kept their attention and got lots of smiles! Ryan was awesome at being quick to catch the perfect moments! Their set-up was fabulous and everything looked so cute!
We love working with Brass Key Photography and are so grateful for the memories they’ve captured for our family! They are a ton of fun and work so well together to truly deliver amazing photos! We will definitely continue to use them for future family photos and would highly recommend!!!

If you are looking for the best then look no further than Nicole and Ryan. Deciding on a photographer to take out of the country for my wife and I’s destination wedding was a project until we came across them. After meeting them it was an easy ...
decision on who it would be and they delivered! The convenience of having them both there to catch each of our moments was priceless. Beside the amazing work they do, these two are an awesome couple and they were so much more than photographers to us. Nicole helped my wife during some stressed times on getting ready and Ryan not only took great pictures but was a huge help to me when it came to the ceremony and a lack of direction from the wedding coordinator. After a day with these two it felt like we all had been longtime friends. I didn’t think it was possible at all for my wife to get any more beautiful but, the pictures they took made her look amazing. Nicole and Ryan made our wedding day complete not only with their work but, with their amazing personalities and drive to take the best pictures and not settling for anything less. If you are looking for the best then check these two out. You definitely get what you pay for in quality and just two good hearted people that go above and beyond for their client’s.

Aww thank you so much Marissa! We had a blast at your wedding at Walden! Everything was so beautiful and the smores bar was delish!

eat to work with. Your friends were cooperative, fun and energetic even during the rain! Were so excited for you and Shane to become parents!
Nicole and Ryan were extremely helpful when working with us from the early stages of wedding planning to our wedding day. Nicole has a very easygoing, calming personality, which helped me fully embrace my wedding day carefree. Ryan was very foc...
used, relaxed and creative. They both made excellent use of our time. They work great as a team and worked well with our other vendors.
They went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony setting looked the best it could. Any time we came up with an idea they already had a suggestion in mind, which made the entire day run so smoothly!
10/10 would highly recommend Brass Key Photography!!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/23/2020
Being married I know the level of stress brides and grooms go through leading up to and on the wedding day and I try to be especially aware of that on the wedding day. Things go so fast and can become overwhelming for couples, its nice to know...
I am a calming presence. Thank you for saying that!!
Brass Key Photography captured our wedding day May 25, 2019 and they did an absolutely amazing job. From the moment we first talked to them, even before we signed a contract, they were SO helpful. They were so knowledgable about wedding and gav...
e us a lot of great advice!! My husband and I were nervous for our engagement session, but Ryan and Nicole made it run extremely smooth. They told us exactly what to do, where to look, how to pose. It was great!! For our wedding day Nicole unfortunately couldn't shoot our wedding day, because she gave birth right before our wedding so Ryan and Nicole got a substitute photographer. Her name was Katie, and was great as well! Was super nice and talkative, much like Nicole, and captured great photos. On our wedding day Ryan and Katie made pictures SO EASY. They didn't seem forced, we had so much fun! A lot of people said they didn't even notice our photographers during the ceremony, so they liked that! We received our Sneak Peek photos and I cried they were absolutely amazing, we received 68 pictures. THEN we received over 1,000 wedding photos THAT WERE ALL AMAZING! I cannot believe how well they captured our day. Every little detail of our day was captured. They exceeded my expectations times 1000. I can't say enough how thankful I am that we chose Brass Key Photographer to capture our perfect day. I'd choose them over and over again in a heart beat. Thank you so much again!! Would give you 100 stars if i could.

Sarah, were so glad you had such a great wedding day! I am so bummed I couldnt be there personally but was so happy to see how great the photos came out! Josh said I missed one heck of a party!
My review has been a long time coming!
Brass Key was the first vendor we chose during our wedding planning process - I think even before our venue?! We met Ryan and Nicole at a Panera by their home for an initial chat and they asked us about...
our wedding vision, budget, colors, etc. but also fun questions like, “Where are you honeymooning?” Nicole actually said, “Well, you know about Zika, right?” Actually, no, I had no idea what Zika was at that time. Lol. I remember thinking at that moment, “I want these people to be my photographers.” Thankfully, my husband was on the same page!
We really enjoyed our engagement session with Ryan and Nicole. I was glad it was included in the package because we likely would not have done engagement pictures otherwise and it really helped my husband and me become comfortable in front of the camera. We also LOVED how our pictures turned out.
A short while after our session, we found out Nicole was pregnant and due literally five days after our wedding. I was devastated. In all honesty, we thought about finding another team.
In conversations with Ryan, he made me and my husband feel reassured that even if Nicole was not available, he would command the day. Ryan and Nicole always responded to my consistent emails to reassure me.
I am so glad we stuck with Brass Key. Although Nicole had given birth two days prior to our wedding, you would have never known because Ryan was absolute perfection on our day. Ryan and Nicole chose a second shooter who was lovely and professional too; however, you could tell Ryan was totally in his element and in control.
My bridal party, my picky parents, and my guests continually commented on his composure, professional dress, direction, and skill. He had amazing ideas and we got pictures that are better than I dreamed they would be. The editing on our images is great - “there” but still natural - Ryan and Nicole obviously care a lot about the “post-production” too.
We received 1,500 images in eight weeks and I would put Brass Key’s work up against many other Cleveland photographers who come at a higher price point.
If they’re available for your day, you are guaranteed amazing pictures.

Ryan & Nicole are great to work with & take amazing photos! They were easy to communicate with & very detailed (they should also be wedding planners overall!). Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a destination wedding in Puerto Morelos, Mexico and we only wanted the best photographers to capture our once in a lifetime day! Ryan and Nicole are not only amazing photographers, but truly wonderful people. My husband and...
I trusted them from the very moment we met and knew we made the right decision!
Nicole and Ryan made our wedding day a breeze, even when there were some hiccups along the way due to the resort’s wedding coordinator. Nicole spent the majority of the day by my side and even made sure every last detail down to my makeup was perfect! Ryan was with my husband and was able to capture those “boys only” moments!
Brass Key Photography takes so much pride in their work and it truly shows in their final product! My husband and I wouldn’t have had the most perfect day if it weren’t for them! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we will forever cherish the best day of our lives through the amazing moments you captured!
Ladies - if you truly want timeless photos and two amazing people behind the cameras, you won’t be disappointed! Nicole and Ryan are the best of the best and every last detail of your special day will be captured!

e I met you and Kyle I knew we would have a blast together. As soon as Kyle started joking about wearing a banana hammock for the ceremony, I knew we HAD to be a part of your wedding day. Traveling was such a blast and you guys made us feel right at home like we belonged with you and your friends. I have never felt so relaxed on a wedding day before and your wedding makes me wish I had done a destination wedding!
Scrolling through face-book one day, I came across a friends daughters wedding photos. I looked through these photos over and over. There was something very special about these pictures! I looked up 'Brass Key Photography' on line and loved eve...
rything I saw! I then phoned Nicole to learn more about her and Ryan. After 1 1/2 hours on the phone, I knew they were going to be great to capture our daughters wedding day. And to say we are beyond happy with the beautiful moments they captured is a true understatement!!!
Ryan and Nicole are true wedding day professionals...not only with taking beautiful photos, but also because they have so many great details and advice they shared with us about our daughters wedding day. They even made us a photo book (from the engagement photos they took) for our guest sign in book! Everybody loved that!!!
We received our 'sneak peek' photos within 1 week of the wedding day...and they were absolutely stunning!!!! We are so excited to see the rest of the photos!
Thank you Nicole and Ryan for being you, for being so helpful and for being such amazing photographers!!!

together again in the future because we had an absolute blast with you guys!!!
I absolutely love brass key. Their work is breath taking. They are fun and easy to work with and feel like friends and not a hired professional. If they are open on your date definitely don't second think them.

These two are truly one of a kind! Hiring a photographer for our wedding was a huge decision for us. Meeting Ryan and Nicole at our engagement photo shoot, within minutes my now Husband and I looked at each other and we both knew we had made a ...
GREAT decision in hiring the two of them. They are so real and genuine that they make you feel so relaxed and comfortable, you forget they are right there capturing some of the most intimate moments with your significant other. They compliment each other so well and keep every moving and make it look so effortless, when behind the scenes, they're doing miracle work. Hiring a photographer for your wedding is a decision you'll live with for a lifetime, the photos you'll have for a lifetime.. and hands down, the best decision we could have made for our wedding was choosing Brass Key. Once we found them, we knew it would be more than worth it to pay them to travel to Findlay, Ohio - and we we're so right. If you're considering Brass Key to be your exclusive wedding photographer, bump them to #1 on your list, because they are truly incredible and you will not regret it.

nt and exhausted, I didnt want to leave! You and Jon were so amazing and took direction so well and you did a great job picking such interesting photo locations! Thanks again for having us out to Findlay to such a gorgeous new venue and also for inviting us to brunch the next day. We truly felt more like welcome guests than anything else!
Ryan and Nicole were the absolutely best. We knew we wanted to hire them within a few minutes of meeting them and hearing them talk about their photography. They stayed with us from getting ready until the end of the night, and even stayed a li...
ttle later than planned to take some more pictures after the reception. They definitely have an eye for what will look good, and I felt comfortable just relying on them to tell us what pictures to take. They even coordinated with our DJ to have a full wedding party picture and then get everyone on the dance floor. They were easy to work with, fun to be around, and our pictures were GORGEOUS. I highly recommend Brass Key!

ive and know how to run the show! If they had the time, I would’ve let them coordinate my entire day and I wouldn’t have questioned a single decision of theirs. Nicole even went as far as searching for wire to help mend my dress during the reception! Above all else, my photos were absolutely stunning. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have revceived on them since the big day. Their turn-around time is incredible as well! I got the first round of photos a day and a half after my wedding, and only about a month and a half later, I had all of my edited photos, and there were A TON. They didn’t miss a beat the entire night! I really can’t say enough amazing things about these two. They were worth every single penny and I can say they were one of the best investments I have ever made! All I can say is THANK YOU!

hey photographed. Such was the case for my daughters wedding. The pictures were superb! They worked with us the entire day, from the getting ready to the final song. They we never intrusive and readily allowed guests to take their own photos as well. They were open to taking the shots we wanted and had their own fantastic ideas for really wonderful poses. I continue to receive compliments on the pictures even as recently as yesterday. I would highly recommend Nicole and Ryan for any event!!

Look no further and hire Nicole and Ryan with Brass Key Photography. There are not enough good things to share, but I will try. First, they are not just photographers: they are wedding experts! They give you tips, advice, and comfort on this ve...
ry stressful day. They are advocates of the bride and groom. And, they are extremely professional and talented. They gave us beautiful shots and stayed up all night the night of our wedding to give us a sneak peek. We could not be happier with the final product, and they were a joy to hang out with on our wedding day, which is a huge bonus that most people do not consider. You will not regret going with Brass Key.

Thanks for the review Aaron! We had so much fun working with you guys!!
My husband and I got married on January 28, 2017 in downtown Cleveland and Ryan and Nicole were absolutely amazing every step of the way! Their personalities and photography styles meshed together so well to ultimately give us the best photogr...
aphs I could ever imagine from our day! From when we first met them and exchanged ideas, they were so helpful and easy to like. Fast forward to our engagement pictures and they were willing to try a new space with us and let us bring our dog!! <3 Bonus! Leading up to the wedding, they were super patient with us and came up with a lot of great ideas and tips (seriously, sent a huge breakdown of just general helpful tips from things they had experienced from other weddings that was so nice and awesome service!!).
Day of our wedding was a cold day in Cleveland (no snow though) and from getting ready, through the ceremony up to taking pictures with our friends and family, they were such fun professionals! My MOH had to leave the festivities early for a pregnancy related issue and they focused on getting her in a lot of shots early. We took pictures next to LAKE ERIE in January and despite everyone being freezing, they didn't complain at all!! Just kept taking pictures! We even got our "money /dream shot" !! It started snowing during dinner and we raced out with them for photos underneath the Playhouse Square Chandelier. <3 They had such a fast turn around time on the images, the quality was magical and their pricing was on point!
We could not recommend Brass Key Photography enough. We are in the process of moving and redecorating our house and the only issue is that we have TOO MANY GORGEOUS images from our wedding day thanks to Ryan and Nicole!!! You will not be disappointed!

joying the day being shielded from the cold and I asked if you were freezing and you said "Nope, I have bride warmth!". I may not have shown it but I was like an icicle lol. I was SO glad you got the snow you wished for and that night shot is hands down our favorite. It literally has every single color of the rainbow, a wet ground AND SNOW!!! Your whole bridal party was great toughing it out with the weather and we really enjoyed working with you all! We really appreciate you two placing your trust in us!!! #ShanDan
OMG absolutely amazing!!! We love Nicole and Ryan and we got our sneak peak only 1 day after our wedding!!! We are in awe of how amazing the pictures turned out!!

ely beautiful. We are so incredibly happy with how well our photos turned out. They took so many different photos from the day and it was it was nice to see the day again since it was hard for me to remember the day! They took so many photos and the editing must have taken forever. I would recommend this couple to anyone. Our day would not have been the same if it wasn’t for them!

usband is stationed here. Planning a wedding 11 hours away has been tricky, but I can ALWAYS count on Nicole to help me with the details. Being that they have attended hundreds of weddings, I trust that they truly know it all, and they are my first source for suggestions. They are such a genuine and relatable couple, and they are so willing to help with every aspect of your wedding. We went back to Ohio to get our "engagement" photos taken, and they were beautiful! We received them in about 3 weeks, just like we were told! Brass Key is the best of the best, and they have already added so much value to our big day! They are the kind of people who will go the extra mile, because they know how important a wedding is to a couple. I have no doubt that our wedding itself will go smoothly, just because of their presence. I don't have to worry that they are missing important moments, and I am so sure our photos will be stunning! We are so excited to have them, not only as photographers, but guests at our wedding.

y.
Ryan and Nicole are organized and detailed oriented. They were very easy to work with in planning our wedding and offered countless ideas and suggestions to help help our big day the beautiful and fun event that it was! Their creativity and skill shows in their photos; truly, their photos speak for themselves.In fact, we liked our engagement photos so much that we had one enlarged into a life photo that was displayed at the wedding!
They were there to capture all of the special moments throughout the morning of our wedding, leading up to the ceremony and reception, including a first look photo with my dad and capturing my parent's faces when they opened the journals I had written to/for them. Nicole spent the morning with myself, the bridesmaids, and my mom/dad, while Ryan spent the morning capturing my husband, the groomsmen, and his parents getting ready. They were with us from very early in the morning until well into the reception - truly incredible. In fact, Ryan actually spent the Friday morning prior to the wedding golfing and hanging out with with my husband along with some of the groomsmen and family members - even though a downpour interfered with much of their golfing plans!
In the final moments leading up to the ceremony, while in the bridal room at the church, I could feel myself becoming overwhelmed with emotion. Nicole caught my eye and quietly reminded me to breathe and take it all in - that meant so much to me.
All in all, Ryan and Nicole were wonderful to work with and we would recommend them to anyone in the future looking to capture their wedding day both beautifully and creatively!

h and knew their craft. We got married at St. Vincent in Akron and they captured some beautiful shots of us, our party, and the church as a whole. Between wedding and reception, we went to the Akron Zoo for photos. We had a giant, unorganized 23 person wedding party which Nicole and Ryan handled like pros. We got to all the places around the zoo that we wanted to shoot and ended up with awesome pictures ranging from picturesque to silly. The best part is there was pending rain that we all knew was coming and would pretty much kill our chances of photos. We did not think it was possible to get all of our shots in before the rain, but they managed to do so and literally the second we stepped back on the bus to go to the reception, it started pouring! I would recommend Ryan and Nicole to anyone for a wedding or other event that is photo worthy!

of brides would love that! Your personal touches throughout the day with the handmade items made for gorgeous table pieces. I loved the intimate ceremony and it was so sweet how you and Will walked down the aisle together. Everyone was able to mingle and enjoy themselves with the laid back flow (even racing on the blow up dinosaurs lol) and your property allowed people to enjoy the beauty surrounding them. I still want to try some of those fresh blueberries off your bushes, so we will have to find time to meet up and swap my homemade blackberry jam for some of your blueberries!!
Nicole & Ryan do an amazing job! They do a great job listening to you during your initial meeting and make sure to suggest ideas that match what you want for your engagement and wedding photos. Day of the wedding- they are there to shoot it al...

n the news! Talk about awesome advertising! As a bride and groom, you went above and beyond to customize your wedding day and engagement photos to reflect what was important to you. The progressive field engagement was so much fun and you guys were playful and willing to do those silly things to capture some playful shots. We appreciate the amount of hard work and dedication you put into personalizing the day to make it perfect for the two of you. We also appreciate the invite to the private cocktail hour. Its rare on a wedding day that we get to take a break and you welcomed us like family and the food was great! Your schedule allowed us to get all of the photos and still have time to breathe, including having time for a quick stop to your meeting place. We appreciate the referral, and we look forward to seeing you at your sisters wedding next year!!!
Ryan and Nicole were very professional while at the same time very relaxed. My wife an I were a bit nervous but they were fun and accommodating. They are a great / funny husband and wife team which have a chemistry that really brought us to lif...
e.
Both Ryan and Nicole have the ability to get the shots we expected but at the same time threw in some very impressive "never would I have thought to do that" moments. It also seemed they were very reasonably priced for top notch quality.
My only concern was the delay in getting our pictures (~7 weeks after the day) but definitely worth it.

Hi Dan, Thank you so much for the great review. We love to surprise our couples with something different and fun when doing their photos. We get excited for each wedding and couple to be able to inspire unique shots that capture the love and...
happiness of the big day. Our apologies on the additional editing time required. I was very sick and lost a few days of editing time, but we appreciate your patience along the way. We would never rush through photos in order to save time. We want to make sure to always do our best and provide everyone with the same amount of time and dedication to the finished product! The photo of you and Lauren by the wall in Little Italy will likely be a new print for the bridal show this year - its one of my new favorites!!!

Oh and one more thing we did not want to do a first look and they managed to capture all of the pictures we wanted and our couples shoot in an hour. Perfection!

When planning our July 2016 wedding, photography was a top priority for us. We were lucky enough to meet Ryan and Nicole, and we felt completely at ease with hiring them after our first meeting. We had a few personal concerns about photography ...
at our wedding and they were understanding of those concerns and sensitive to them. They are not only professional with their photography but incredibly knowledgeable of the wedding industry and able to give you tips throughout the wedding planning process.
Our engagement photos were so beautiful, and having two photographers with different but complimentary styles gave us a wide variety of photographs. After seeing our engagement photos, we were so excited to see how they would capture our wedding day!
We were married at a church and our reception was at the Lodge at Mapleside Farms. Ryan spent the morning with my husband and Nicole spent the morning we me, and from that point they were with us for the rest of the day. They captured our day perfectly, including countless family photos, great photos of our wedding details, candid photos throughout our day and creative posed photos of our bridal party and us. We also appreciated their flexibility with our other vendors and willingness to take all of the photos we asked of them. We were beyond thrilled with our wedding photos and they were returned to us in a timely manner.
You can hire Ryan and Nicole with confidence that you are paying for two high-quality, professional photographers who will capture your day beautifully and give you a final product you will cherish forever.

es to capturing your family photos in a timely manner. One of the things I like most about my photos is their use of indoor/ outdoor lighting. My photos look magical and they did an outstanding job capturing all of the emotion at my wedding. Every time I look at my photos I get "all the feels" seeing my dance with my father and my portraits with my husband. I wish I could renew my vows in 2017 just to do it all over again! I cannot say enough about how great the photos came! In addition to taking awesome pictures, Nicole also helped my mother bustle my dress and helped locate my lost earring. She volunteered to help with so many things that weren't even a part of the photography and I am so grateful for her help. I recommend this vendor highly for your wedding. They do a thorough job getting to know you as a person and determining what shots you want at your wedding. They have back up cameras and back up supplies so if something unheard of does go wrong they are prepared to keep your day running smoothly. The photo booth option is also a must. It is a fun and creative way to keep your guests entertained and the pictures are awesome to look at. A lot of my family members want to buy them as keepsakes. I highly recommend this company they are great! Thanks for capturing my big day in a beautiful and creative way : )

shed incredibly well with ours. They did so much more than just capture our day. They were always available to give advice and answer questions we had. On our wedding day, they split up so that Ryan was with me and the other groomsmen and Nicole was with my bride and the girls. They captured more than just pictures, but the emotions of the day. They were with us from around 9am until around 11pm, showing commitment to capture every memory of the day. They were very knowledgeable about locations to visit and had great ideas for both fun and elegant poses. Along with capturing all the natural shots that happened throughout the day and into the evening. It is so natural to work with them that we were honored to treat them more like guests than like vendors, because they went so far beyond what is expected of a vendor. After the reception, Ryan came out with us to get some absolutely fantastic night shots that are likely our favorite of the day. They take the time to go through each and every photograph to make any necessary digital enhancements and they even shared a couple sneak peek photos within a week of the wedding. We couldn't imagine working with any other photographers.

Nicole and Ryan did our engagement pictures last year. They're going to be doing our wedding on June 11th. They made you so at ease and they're so comforting.

while looking for a photographer, we felt an instant connection; it was like we were meeting with old friends. During the wedding, I didn't even notice the cameras - they captured every moment without being in your face. They turned around the photos very quickly after the engagement shoot and wedding, too. Overall, we were very pleased with their professionalism and artistic eye.

Regina, we are so glad to be able to continue to work with you and Kevin & now we've been able to watch your love grow as well as your family! We are excited to continue working with you & thank you for trusting us with your special memories!
We are blessed to have found Brass Key. We had 2 weddings. One in OH (His) and one in FL (Hers). Nicole was professional and made us both feel very comfortable. Once we saw our photos from the OH wedding it was a NO BRAINER... fly her down to F...
L to do that wedding too.
Photos were one the most important thing to me for our wedding days... at the end of the day when its all over it's the one thing you have left besides the memories.
We are about to have our 1 year wedding anniversary and I still look through our pictures probably once a week. I LOVE THEM!!
Thank you again Nicole for your amazing work!!

Julie & Chris, I had such a blast with you guys at both events. Florida was definitely the "party" wedding & being from out of town your friends and family were more than welcoming. Tell your mom I said "HI!"
Nichole & Ryan:
What a wonderful team........
First of all I seen the wonderful job they did for a wedding of a family friend and knew when our day came that I wanted them to do ours as well...With both of them they equal the perfect husband ...
& wife team...their work is complimented by their art of photography.....
Our engagement session was just awesome, Loved all the pictures, there were no bad pictures...it was a scorching day and you would never have known....then came the wonderful day of our wedding....What a wonderful day, Nichole met me at the hair stylist while her husband met my husband to be at his Mothers and our day was off to a great start..I get so emotional as I look at my pictures because they are just vivid memories of all that led up to that day for us. My pictures are priceless, and their fee is minimal to the priceless out come with their finished product. The perfection of having a husband & wife team is perfect as there is nothing left out...you get the best of both sides, failing to miss a thing.....
I will definitely use their services again.

Aww, Debbie! Thanks so much for such a great review. Yours and Hawks day was so much fun and YES the day of the engagement shoot was insanely hot but you guys were troopers & made it fun!
Brass Key Photography was perfect for my wedding. Ryan was the photographer for my small, intimate wedding and he was absolutely phenomenal. His ideas for our photos were elegant and classy with enough spunk and personality to make them our o...
wn. We traveled to many locations in Cleveland including the Wade Chapel in Cleveland Heights (our ceremony location), Little Italy, The Cleveland Museum of Art, Chagrin Falls (my hometown), my childhood home and finally ended at the Leopard Restaurant in Aurora. His timing and professionalism was great and he was able to adapt to a multitude of locations and settings. I can honestly say that Ryan made one of the happiest days of my life even more perfect. The memories he captured for us cannot be put into words. I am so appreciative and wholeheartedly recommend Brass Key Photography!
