Brian + Joelle Photography

ee more! Not only are they wonderful people, but they are also truly the best at what they do. We have been blown away by how beautiful our pictures are. It means so much to us to have pictures that we are so happy with that we can treasure for the years to come. Our family and friends all love them as well - they really think they captured everything perfectly. We were looking for vibrant photography that highlighted the nature/energy around us - and us as a couple - in a combination of fun and more traditional types of pictures and we couldn't be happier with what we got. They were also very easy to work with - my husband and I had some scheduling limitations because we both live outside of Ohio, and they helped us make everything work easily! Thank you so much!

look no further! We chose them specifically because of their experience with our venue (Happy Days Lodge), and their experience with photoshoots out in nature and on the trail. But we were blown away by just how much more they added to our wedding day experience! We didn't have a wedding planner, so I'm so grateful we had them to help us with making and executing a timeline for the big day. They were very accommodating when we requested to slightly change the plan for our first look photos when the wedding day looked like it was going to be a hot one, and really helped to make us feel more relaxed and in the moment during what was a very stressful day. All of our photos came out amazing and we had a really hard time narrowing down the good ones for our wedding album! Brian and Joelle are just too good! Highly highly highly recommend! They will be the best decision you make, especially if you're adventurous like us.

beyond. They helped us plan our day-of timeline, put us at ease during our engagement shoot, and captured our love during our wedding day. Brian helped us feel like a million bucks and Joelle's calming presence was such a gift. They are absolutely people you want to work with and be around. We will treasure our photos forever - they are simply stunning.

lism, and a genuine passion for capturing love stories. On the big day, they blended seamlessly into the celebration—never intrusive, always present, and somehow everywhere at once. The photos are nothing short of magical. Every emotion, every detail, every laugh and tear was beautifully documented. We’ve had countless friends and family comment on how stunning the images are. Beyond the photos, they were a joy to work with—responsive, organized, and thoughtful. Brian + Joelle even helped us feel relaxed during portraits, turning what could have been a stressful moment into one of our favorite memories. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with the care and creativity it deserves, look no further. Brian + Joelle Photography is a true artist and professional. We are forever grateful!

ing up to our wedding was very low stress. We got married in CVNP and they were super knowledgeable about all the best photo spots. Our photos always bring us back to that magical day! Thanks again, Brian and Joelle!

ke sure the day goes smoothly for the bride/groom. They helped create a realistic and great timeline, captured every moment throughout the day, and assisted the bride/groom with anything they could have needed. They are very experienced and have their method to getting as many pictures as possible without taking a lot of time out of the day. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer 10 out of 10 times!! Pictures came back incredibly fast as well and all looked beautiful!

the wedding day itself to receiving our final gallery! As soon as we booked with Brian and Joelle, they shared their Wedding Guide which had so many incredibly helpful details, including how to plan other details of our day to run as smoothly as possible. Their support in designing our day-of timeline and their knowledge of Cuyahoga Valley National Park took so much stress off of us, and the guide made it so much easier to lock in other small details with confidence. They were incredibly easy to communicate with and prompt whenever we had questions. Brian was very accommodating of our schedules to make time for our engagement photo session near the holidays and we absolutely loved how the photos came out! On our wedding day, they were prompt, kept us on time, and they fit in so naturally that several guests assumed they were friends. We absolutely LOVE the photos they captured, including the natural beauty of the park, our couples portraits, and candid moments throughout the day. Brian and Joelle sent the finalized photos exactly when we expected them, Brian patiently helped us design our keepsake album!

ey made everything so easy. Already thinking of booking them again for an anniversary shoot.

s? Then I found Brian and Joelle's website and I reached out to them. The first thing I noticed about their response was that it was specific for my wedding day. They spoke about my venue including the wedding coordinator and they shared links to recent weddings they photographed. We scheduled a time to meet via video chat and I was immediately sold. They were both so upbeat and charismatic, it was hard not to be happy during the call! They both made an effort to get to know us and understand our vision for our wedding. They were open to all of my questions including ones that were not about pictures. Their pricing was straightforward and they let us take time to discuss what we wanted and if we were open to moving forward. Brian and Joelle are there for you from the first meeting till after your wedding! Everything was organized and well planned out. They even shared their VIP wedding guide that included a list of vendors that they have worked with! Their guide was full of great information including on what to do for engagement photos to what to have ready for the special day. We had frequent calls and emails leading up to the wedding which really helped with my stress levels. The day of the wedding, Brian and Joelle came prepared! They showed up promptly at the hair salon and they jumped into action. They even had a hanger to hang my dress from for the photos! The whole day, Brian and Joelle made sure that Alex and I were hydrated and fed when possible. Joelle was always around to help me with my dress and pull me away if I needed time to regroup. Our family photos were something that I was worried about and they got the photos done in record time. They did a great job getting the kids' attention for the photos and they were even open to having our dog in some pictures. They didn't make us feel like we were constantly pulled for photos, we were able to socialize with our guests and enjoy the day. Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING, I am still obsessing over them! You can tell that these two spend a lot of time on each event. I am so thankful that I picked Brian and Joelle and I can't wait to use them for future family photos.

nsula, and it was clear from our earliest conversations that Brian knew the location like the back of his hand, so we had confidence that he’d make our experience special. He worked with us on our tight timeline and was honest about the potential pitfalls, and when things ran long on our wedding day, he was able to adapt and make things flow for us so the day was still a wonderful one. He found the perfect spots to take our photos at every point in the evening, accounting for the natural lighting outdoors and the beautiful lighting in the venue. His photos captured some of the most precious moments of our day; each of them tell a story, and we were so thrilled to look through them and feel as though we were right back in those moments again! Would highly recommend!

nd they make you feel like you are the two most important people on your day when it is tough dealing with lots of personalities! :) Not only are our pictures stunning, Joelle just simply gets the bride and what is needed at the moment. She is like a best friend that takes control and gets it done for you. They both truly want the absolute best for the couple. Hire them, they are worth every single penny.

old! But that did not matter! The photos came out so beautiful it's mind boggling! Brian and Joelle put great thought into weddings. From the beginning, they helped my daughter and her husband organize their wedding day around creating beautiful memories. They get all the details. The little things matter. The pictures preserve the most intimate and magical moments. Brian was never in the way or pushy. On the contrary, I sat down with him and found him to be entirely charming. I finally got to see the pictures today. I can't wait to get the albums. The price is worth it. Hire Brian and Joelle. You'll be so glad you did.

is no small feat). The photos, video, everything, was just perfect. 100% worth the money because you truly get what you pay for and that is impeccable service, a fun experience, and stunning photos!

ate wedding with only immediate family somewhere scenic and close to home, and then we stumbled upon a blog by Brian of this beautiful elopement in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We immediately decided to reach out and after a brief call we knew we want Brian and Joelle to be our intimate wedding/elopement photographer. It was so easy working with them, Brian was able to guide us every step of the way. And the final pictures were just breathtaking. He totally captured the day and the moments so beautifully. Thank you Brian + Joelle!!!

icate our needs and expectations to creating time tables for the day of the wedding; Brain and Joelle took the anxiety and worry away. The quality and professionalism of the photos are not to be understated. We discussed our vision and general feelings we wanted captured and they brought them to life. They embraced new ideas and did not box us into any "traditional". The final results were nothing short of masterpieces. Seeing them on the day of the wedding was like seeing old friends and I knew our big day was in great hands. They worked with all the appropriate staff, ensuring that the day was on schedule and running smoothly. Do not sleep on these two for your wedding. The peace of mind they bring is invaluable.

ensure EVERYONE is on the same page prior to the big day. Then on the wedding day, their expertise and amazing skills captured every moment. The photos completely blew away our expectations and my wife and I love every single one of them! Trust us when we say these two are worth every penny, you'll be so glad you hired them!

f our life together. We get so many compliments from friends and family on our wedding photos and it’s all thanks to Brian and Joelle. Book them for your wedding or any photography needs! I promise you won’t regret it.

d two new amazing people in our lives! Brian and Joelle took so much time to meet with us and to get to know who we are as individuals and as a couple. When talking to them, it was as if we’ve known them our whole lives! They were so much fun to work with and their energy is so contagious. If I had to do my wedding over, no matter what I’d always choose them to capture my moments. When going through the slide show they put together, I definitely cried a few different times. They did such amazing work in capturing our story. We couldn’t have asked for better people! My husband and I have found our photographers for life and we couldn’t be happier.

lar, they take their time with every photo to ensure everything is of a professional quality. I don't think it is possible to get better photo's taken, but that is just the icing on the cake. These folks love their job, take care of their customers and ensure everything about your special day is just better. They provided years of experience and input into the wedding planning process, streamlining events and even managed to run through family photos in record time with no issues. Brian + Joelle are a must hire if you want any professionally done photo's.

think of every detail, which we so appreciated as wedding planning can be overwhelming. Brian and Joelle eased every worry on our wedding day - sewing back on a loose button, grabbing forgotten flowers from the lobby, and making a first look in hailing rain seem easy. We are so glad we decided to reach out to Brian and Joelle - they are so kind, creative and fun. It was hard to choose which photos to share with this review as we were quite happy with how they all turned out. Thank you Brian and Joelle for absolutely everything - and we look forward to working together again in the future!

t we got with Brian + Joelle Photography. Between the planning meetings and great communication, Brian + Joelle ensured we weren’t missing a thing. As far as the pictures go, they are breathtaking. We have spent more time debating which pictures not to hang up just because there is so many good ones. When it comes to wedding expenses there is a lot of different places you can splurge, but the best investment of our entire wedding was Brian + Joelle Photography.

king a schedule for our big day!

ing planning process. My husband and I utilized Brian + Joelle Photography for our engagement and wedding photos, as well as for our wedding video and album. They create a truly stunning product. We could not be more pleased with our photos and videos, as they captured every detail – nailing both the large moments and candid memories. Brian + Joelle carry themselves with professionalism and let their organization and attention to detail shine while keeping the mood fun! They also utilize online tools and galleries that make the planning and viewing process stress free – which is a necessity while wedding planning. In the year and a half while working with Brian + Joelle, they affirmed time and time again that we made the best decision to work with them as our photographers and videographers for our special day. Do yourself a favor and reach out!!

could have ever expected (and faster than we could have expected!). They were both very kind, easy to work with people and knew how to have fun. As overwhelming planning a wedding can be with multiple venders- they were the easiest to work with and knew when we (Bride and Groom) needed a breather. From helping us create our timelines, other vendor recommendations (hair + makeup artists) to delivering absolutely stunning photographs that captured our day perfectly- we would absolutely recommend booking with Brian and Joelle. We can't say 'Thank You' enough!

erfectly. They were both very professional, fun to work with, and great to have through the whole planning process. They kept things moving along day of and their experience really shined! We could not be more happy with our photos, truly exceeded all expectations and then some.

ial day. We had to make the difficult decision of rescheduling our day a month before due to COVID and they were more than happy to work with us. We are incredibly happy with the results. They were professional and caring. They made sure that we had time to mingle work our guests and were extremely helpful. We can’t say enough how happy we are working with Brian and Joelle. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly!!

beautiful, we have a hard time picking which ones should be framed. Both the pictures and videos did a great job capturing the energy and feel of the wedding and reception. Despite having so many photos of the reception, you don't notice that they're there. They don't get in the way and know what they're doing. They were very helpful with the planning as well, building a schedule with us of how the day will go so that everyone stays in the loop of when events would be going down, i.e. first dance, outfit changes, bouquet toss and such. We've already watching the highlight reel video a hundred times, and we definitely will be watching it again for our anniversary. Thank you, Brian and Joelle for capturing our beautiful backyard wedding bash!

uch less stressful and were so much more than just photographers, they felt like our friends!

ts simply the best I've seen, and honestly its not even close. When my fiancé came to me and said we we're going to INVEST in great photography so for the rest of our lives we would have amazing visual memories of our day. I was like ok, in you I shall trust. Very happy she was in charge of this because Honestly we couldn't have had a better experience and the product is second to none. Now amazing photos and video aside, half of the experience is the people behind the magic. Brian and Joelle are like the perfect frosting on your already delicious wedding cake. They compliment your wedding process, they provide amazing advice, they enrich the overall experience with such a calming ease. Great People. Big Hearts. Super Talented. 11/10. Much love, Kaan and Carissa

ly played such a bigger part in our day! They helped us draft a day-of timeline and more importantly ensured we stayed on track with said timeline throughout the day! Both Brian and Joelle are friendly and professional, and do a fantastic job of keeping everyone’s energy up. If you can book them for your event - do it!

team in general. They were available to help with anything and they helped make our wedding day go very smoothly by keeping everyone on time while also being a blast to work with on the wedding day!! Highly, highly recommend. Even our parents kept commenting about their professionalism and ability to keep everything going as planned while still getting amazing pictures!!!!

l overall help to make sure your wedding day is seamless and perfect. They have great advice for your timeline and make sure you get all the photos you want without pulling you away from the present moment on your special day. Brian and Joelle have been the wedding photographers for multiple friends and everyone I know has absolutely loved their experience with them. My husband and I got married last year but I still watch our highlight and ceremony videos all the time. Brian and Joelle helped to make my husband and I feel comfortable on the day of the wedding and in the weeks leading up to the wedding because they kept communication open and we knew exactly what to expect. They listened to our opinions and prioritized our wishes. They are amazing!

for whatever we needed- this held true. They were much more than photographers for us- even helping coordinate timing for the wedding day (so amazing!). We did an engagement session with Brian and he was absolutely amazing. We are far from models, but he worked with us & we loved our photos. Day of- Joelle helped with my dress & really just made me feel at ease! Brian was great and kept us all on time. We even last minute added a video about a week or 2 before the wedding and- best decision ever. It turned out wonderful!! It is so nice to have a quick recap of the best day of our lives.

otographers). From the first video call, we connected and felt completely at ease with this dynamic couple. They not only made our wedding day photos a breeze, they freely share their many years of experience with planning the details most couples overlook. Putting together the timeline for our day, and finding other vendors was made easier by taking their solid advice. I could gush more, but I cannot recommend them more highly. If you're looking for epic photos for your engagement or wedding day, Look. No. Further.

d about how our wedding day was going to go. However, the day was absolutely perfect! Before our wedding, we had multiple phone calls with Brian regarding how the day was going to play out and had a plan B for differently scenarios! They KNOW what they’re doing and were a great guidance during our planning process. On top of that, our pictures WERE STUNNING! We can’t ask for anything better and are so happy to have these pictures forever.

have a hard time selecting which pictures to print. We were pleasantly surprised with how many and how quickly we received the photos and videos after the wedding. Some of the members in our bridal party have been involved in several weddings, so for them to comment how efficient Brian and Joelle were with the pacing of the day is truly representative of their experience. We highly recommend investing in a quality photographer like Brian and Joelle because you will receive the best experience possible.

e family and could keep us relaxed and on track. Brian and Joelle effortlessly and beautifully documented our entire day. The photos were fantastic. I highly recommend Brian and Joelle, couldn't be happier with their work and working with them!

went to our ceremony/reception space the day before to create a game plan, instead of waiting until the day of. Joelle could tell when I was getting overwhelmed and brought be glasses of water, a kind reminder of how beautiful I looked and a true friend on a day that can feel really crazy. Our photos are breathlessly beautiful and they got them back to us less than 3 weeks later! I knew from the minute I met Brian and Joelle that I found my photographers. I would recommend calling them and having a conversation, you will be hooked. It was so relieving to have really professional and kind vendors, it made my whole day easier.

ruly breathtaking pictures.

all of the shots in! I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING! They helped me with my day of timeline, and were always available to answer any questions that I had! They continually checked in on us to make sure that we had everything we needed, and made sure we stayed hydrated throughout the day! And our pictures!!! GORGEOUS!! I’m so madly in love with them! Highly highly HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

tions and we got our photos in 3 weeks! We recommend Brian and Joelle to any newly engaged couple looking for a photographer!!

session, and were so much fun to work with directly. Our engagement photos were made available to us very quickly, and the engagement album / guest book is beautiful. On our wedding day, they were an absolute delight, and they made my wife feel so much better after the day for off to a rocky start. Once Brian and Joelle showed up, everything ran much more smoothly. They helped walk us through getting ready, and our first look, and they ran expert interference on any amateur photographers. We just got our wedding photos back, and they are all wonderful. Brian and Joelle's ability to quickly set up staged shots is overshadowed only by their ability to get such beautiful candid shots. We are already trying to come up with an excuse to hire them again.

e and went the extra mile to get the best shot. At one point during our wedding, Brian was literally laying on the ground outside to get the best angle of us. I would recommend them to everyone if I could.
