Oona and the entire Dragonfly Photography team are amazing! I could not have asked for a better and more supportive photography team for our wedding weekend. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and were so skillful in helping us navigate a very fun but hectic weekend!
From my first meeting with Oona, I knew that I wanted her to be our photographer. She was extremely personable and passionate about her work - it was so apparent how much she cares about her couples and making sure they feel their absolute best on their wedding day.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Oona and the team were extremely communicative and one of our most reliable vendors. We had check -ins where we sometimes just discussed how I was overall feeling with the wedding planning process, and Oona was always there to comfort me when I started to feel overwhelmed.
During our wedding weekend, they were extremely attentive and really helped us feel our best. They were able to navigate our different cultures and large guest count so well.
Their quality of work is incredible and they were able to document our colorful Indian wedding with beautiful photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I could not recommend Oona and Dragonfly enough, they are truly the best and amazing at what they do.
Oona exceeded all our expectations from the very start! She made us feel completely at ease during our initial meeting, taking the time to genuinely get to know us and our story. She was very knowledgeable about multicultural ceremonies which was important to us as we planned our Indian/American wedding. We quickly decided to book Dragonfly for the engagement photos, Haldi, and our wedding day, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Over the next six months, Oona not only helped us stay on track but also served as a sounding board for our ideas and connected us with other amazing vendors.
Oona worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to create a timeline that suited everyone. If you’ve ever been part of an Indian wedding, you know how chaotic things can get, with multiple events leading up to the big day. Oona and her team handled it all with professionalism, cultural sensitivity, and grace.
Like any wedding, ours had its share of unexpected hiccups, but Oona and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even after the wedding, she stayed in touch and made the photo reveal day an unforgettable experience. Looking through the pictures transported us right back to our wedding weekend, allowing us to relive the joy, love, and emotions of our incredible wedding.
Oona’s photography is truly a work of art. Her ability to tell a story through her lens is unparalleled, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She played such an integral role in making our wedding unforgettable, and we are so grateful to her and her team!
I got married in July of this year and had a phenomenal experience with Oona and the Dragonfly photography team. I found myself in a serious bind with less than 2 months to my wedding date and starting from scratch searching for a photography team. I had hired another photographer, but it became clear after they photographed my bridal shower that the communication and quality was severely lacking. I began to panic that this once in a lifetime experience would not be captured.
We found Dragonfly on the Knot and submitted an inquiry. Oona reached out right away and we feel so lucky that she did. With a limit on preparation time, we dove in to details and discussing everything from wedding day timeline, desired shots, priorities, vision. With her level of experience, she had so much insight to share with us to make the day go as smoothly as possible. I can’t stress enough how her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are rare qualities that you hardly see in the world today. By providing guidance every step of the way, the Dragonfly team saved us from stressing out on our big day.
We had a multicultural wedding with many different traditions close to our hearts and our families. Oona took time to speak with us about these important traditions and how to best represent them in the photos and wedding video. Our love and happiness are captured perfectly. After spending so much time planning the perfect day, I look back and I’m transported to each moment. The shorter form video made me cry the first time I watched it and I’ve already filled our home with beautiful memories from the day. I feel so grateful that we found Dragonfly and Oona. I highly recommend her for any couple planning their wedding. Worth every penny and we are 100% satisfied.
Dragonfly Photography are literally the best group of people! I am sooooo happy we went with Dragonfly. They are extremely knowledgable, kind, giving and so much more! This team is worth every penny spent. I love them so much, they made our wedding day!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Dragonfly Photography! Oona and her team did an exceptional job from start to finish. They worked with us every step of the way and we’re very responsive and communicative. They worked on a very detailed timeline and family portrait list - I was very happy with the outcomes of both. Their team listens exceptionally well and followed exactly what we wanted or didn’t want. Oona went above and beyond by coming to Chicago for our engagement photos and sending us little gifts throughout our engagement that made us feel very special. She is not only a photographer but your very own personal hype woman and motivational speaker. She and the team treated us with nothing but kindness and respect. Her entire photography team made our wedding day go so smoothly. They also got our sneak peek photos back to us in the quickest timing I’ve ever seen. If I could go back, I would marry Oona (only kidding….)
My husband was a little weary of the cost but after the wedding, he was so glad we went with Dragonfly Photography because of how much passion and work they put into our wedding day and throughout the entire process. We got so many compliments on them throughout the day and on their work. The photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day look phenomenal and we are so excited to get the rest of them! After my first interaction with Oona, I had no doubt she would do a phenomenal job. We will absolutely be using them in the future! We love Dragonfly!!!
Dragonfly Photography is more than just a photographer team they helped me with almost all aspects of my wedding offerings ideas, opinions and planning when needed. Oona and her team went above and beyond our expectations. They were extremely helpful when it came time to making a timeline which was one of the most stressful aspects and she helped make it seamless! They truly made us feel like their whole team was dedicated to us. I didn't have a wedding coordinator and I never had to worry about a thing knowing that I had Oona and her team apart of our special day. They helped me work through details I had not even thought of and had so many great idea's for our special day. I also used them for our Video Photographer which was the best choice I could have made! Would highly recommend using them and best decision I could have made for our wedding! The images were stunning along with the video and I could never have imagined how beautiful they came out!
Dragonfly was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Oona was wonderful from the word go. She is very professional and organized. She will make sure she gets to know you as a couple including meet ups and a very fun engagement photo shoot. She made us feel very heard regarding our vision for the day and even encouraged us to keep our focus on our day and the things that matter the most to us. When Ooona and her team (shout-out to Ali and Greg!) arrived on the day of it felt so good to have her energy and order enter the room. And when we were inevitably running late, they were very thoughtful in finding a way to get the pictures we wanted while still making up time. During our ceremony and reception they were present without being intrusive. It was wonderful and I couldn't help but hug them at the end of the night. I have been showing our preliminary pictures to any one and every one because they are just so gorgeous. We can't wait to see the final! Much love to Dragonfly Photography, we would definitely choose them all over again.
It is honestly really difficult to put into words what Oona has meant to us throughout this entire process. From the second we reached out, we felt like we were Dragonfly’s only client based on how EXTREMELY well we were treated. It’s hard to convince us that we haven’t known Oona our entire lives. In our wildest dreams we wouldn’t have worked with anyone as great as Dragonfly Photography. Oona and her team are the definition of genuine, and Oona is a phenomenal listener. Not only does she have the biggest heart, but she so deeply cares about each and every couple that Dragonfly takes on. Working with Oona and her team has been an honor.
Beyond the quality of human that Oona (and her team!) are, Dragonfly’s work is absolutely unbelievable. There was literally an unplanned power outage for our entire ceremony (making our venue extremely dark) and Oona (somehow) flawlessly captured it as if there was perfect natural light. Those are some of our favorite photos, and we are super picky when it comes to photography! There is no challenge too large for the Dragonfly team, and that is something we will cherish forever. Not only that, but we had barely woken up the next day before we had already had a sneak peak from Oona in our inbox.
When it came to our wedding budget, our incredible planner, Engaged with Nora, gave us great advice “you leave your wedding day with your spouse and with your photos.”To whoever is reading this - we promise you that Dragonfly is worth every penny, and we promise that you will cherish the quality of these photos, and the memories behind them, for many lifetimes to come.
The experience we had with Oona and the Dragonfly Team was beyond special. They went above and beyond to make our wedding photos and videos the most beautiful pieces of ART that our family will cherish for decades to come. We had a 3-day multi-cultural Indian and American wedding and they handled it like ultimate professionals all the way through. They accommodated ALL our many and never-ending requests. They were graceful in interacting with family, friends and directing them to their places appropriately and kept us on track. My wife and I are huge fans of capturing moments and picking our wedding photography team a significant decision in planning. We never once had to to worry on any of our 3 days because Oona and her team captured everything we could possibly hope for and then some. This review could span pages and pages, but no amount of words can capture how amazing and client-centered Dragonfly Photography is.
We chose Dragonfly Photography for our June 2022 wedding and we were blown away from the start. Oona and her team are so extremely personable and I didn't realize how essential that was until the day of our wedding. The majority of the wedding day is spent with the photography team and I know if I went with anyone else, my husband and I would not have enjoyed our day as much as we did. Oona was calming and comforting throughout the entire day and in the wedding planning process. She made me feel like she had my back at every turn. We're so grateful for the Dragonfly team and would recommend them to anyone!
Oona found us online and really wanted to shoot our wedding. She did our engagement photos and they were stunning. We ended up switching to a different photographer for our wedding day because we wanted a darker and more moody style, and we found someone who was a much better match for us as a couple and really embraced our vision. If you are shopping for a photographer, Dragonfly may not be a good fit if you are planning a non-traditional or non-religious wedding. I would definitely recommend Oona if you are planning a more traditional wedding.
Oona and her team exceeded all expectations throughout our entire process! Starting with engagement photos to planning every detail (wedding planner all the way), creating a vision, understanding what we wanted, and delivering above and beyond! The team was so fun & calming on the wedding day. There was not one part of the wedding they didn’t capture! Not only do we have photographs we will cherish forever but our guests have them too. You would be doing yourself a disservice to not work with them!
I cannot say enough good things about Oona and the Dragonfly Photography team! Not only are you guaranteed to get beautiful, breath taking photos of the moments that matter the most on your wedding day, you will have a team of people that feel like friends! Not only did Oona and the rest of the Dragonfly team make getting in front of the camera feel easy and natural (which is something both my husband and I never thought we would be able to feel) but they truly care about you and your wedding. They take the time to really get to know you as a couple. Through the entire planning process, they were there to answer questions, connect us with any other vendors we were having trouble finding, and create a timeline perfect for our day. Once all of the photos from the wedding are ready for us, we get to sit down with Oona and see the stunning photos and moments she captured so it is something so exciting for us to look forward to even after the wedding is over!Dragonfly Photography is so knowledgable on all things wedding! I truly believe my wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without their help. Both my husband and I are amazed by Dragonfly and how easy they made the picture taking process. Instead of dreading photos being taken, we were so excited!
From our very first phone call with Oona, we knew she was the person to capture all of the moments and emotions of our wedding day. The entire Dragonfly team went above and beyond to not only plan out the details of our day, but to help us think through how we wanted the day to feel so the experience was true to us as a couple. Oona made us feel comfortable and entirely ourselves in front of the camera, which came through in every shot. The Dragonfly Team are not only incredible professionals and masters of their craft, they are just so enjoyable to spend time with and there is no one else we could have imagined hanging out with on our wedding day. If you are looking for someone to capture the feelings and emotions of your wedding, and more importantly to tell the story of your day, look no further than Oona and her team! They are worth every penny and then some - just book them!
If you can hire Dragonfly, YOU MUST!!!
I absolutely can't imagine what our wedding day and experience leading up to the day would have been like without Dragonfly Photography. Oona and her team are simply the best and gave us THE BEST advice, recommendations, and helped answer so many questions. They helped us with our timeline, locations, selection of other vendors, etc. And all their advice was SPOT ON. Anything they suggested that I do and I didn't, I WISH I had listened! I knew we were truly working with a special team before we even took our engagement photos. From phone calls to emails to Zooms and in person meetings, the experience you will have working with Dragonfly is seamless and puts them in a league of their own. Oona is not only crazy talented and captures amazing photos, but genuinely cares about her brides and lets you know that she's committed to making your day truly unforgettable. If you're considering hiring Oona and her amazing team, stop looking at anyone else, do yourself a favor, and WORK WITH DRAGONFLY! You absolutely won't regret it!
Selecting Dragonfly Photography for our wedding day was a no brainer. I immediately connected with Oona, the photographer. She's very hands on and calming and understands the craziness and stress of planning a wedding. Not to mention, her work is incredible! While I didn't cry on our wedding day, I did however cry when I saw my wedding album! The images are beautiful and the colors she captures are insane! Her images are truly a work of art. It's no wonder she wins all those awards. We had a great experience working with Dragonfly. I'd recommend them x1000!
What else is there to say that hasn't already been said? Oona and her team are just magical at what they do. From beginning to end, the care that is given is out of this world. The communication does not stop through the entire planning process, all the way to the wedding day, and beyond.
Not only does she make it easy to plan, she also truly helps facilitates the big day. I did not have a day-of coordinator, and she helped to make sure things happened in a timely fashion, but never EVER pushed anyone into an uncomfortable time period. I would recommend Dragonfly for any photography services needed, and would have them by my side again and again if I could re-do my wonderful wedding day. THANK YOU OONA!!
Dragonfly Photography was a dream to work with from start to finish. Finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was at the very top of our priority list when our wedding planning began. We had a vision for stunning, timeless images in mind, but more than that, we wanted to find someone who we’d think of as a friend (after all, they'd be spending the majority of our special day with us and capturing intimate moments shared otherwise, just between us). After weeks of researching so many Cleveland wedding photographers, just a few minutes into speaking with Oona, the lead photographer at Dragonfly, we knew right away that she was the perfect person to capture our wedding day.
Oona is such a kind and genuine person, and her calming presence and positive energy is infectious. From day one, she really took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable in sharing our ideas with her. It's clear she has such an incredible eye, but yet she still took the time to understand how we envisioned our wedding day photos.
Throughout the planning process, she worked side-by-side with our wedding planner, venue, and our other vendors behind the scenes to ensure every base was covered. During the months leading up to our wedding, she sent reminders, items to pack, timeline suggestions and genuine messages of excitement for Mike and I over the course of the planning process. It was truly a top-notch experience and made being a bride SO easy.
During our engagement session and on the wedding day itself, everything was beautifully and artfully captured, and getting our pictures taken felt so easy and fun with them. We got married at The Westin Cleveland downtown, and our family and guests were in complete awe of their professionalism and expertise as they navigated around the wedding day so seamlessly and subtly, but somehow were still there to capture every special moment.
The Dragonfly photographers are rare wedding professionals who truly listen to what is most important to YOU, and true cheerleaders for your wants and needs for your day. We will always cherish the photographs they took of us and are honored to have their work lining the walls of our home for years to come. Dragonfly Photography is worth every penny and then some, and my husband and I couldn’t imagine not having them by our side on the most important day of our lives. If they are available on your date, book them immediately!
Oona is one of the most kind-hearted humans out there. We had our wedding during the pandemic and I can truly say we wouldn’t have been able to do it without Oona. Oona was so supportive, informative, helpful, detail oriented, kind, the list goes on and on. One night we had a three hour zoom call as she helped us navigate finalizing our wedding album and Oona didn’t bat an eye at helping us. The whole Dragonfly team goes above and beyond with everything. Add the stunning images to it all and I can promise you, you won’t regret working with them.
Let me first start by saying you will NEVER be let down by this team. Oona and her team have perfected the art of not only photography, but keeping lines of communication flowing from the minute you introduce yourself to even weeks after your event (in my case my wedding day). This team is professional, prompt, transparent, and down right fun to work with. If you were ever hesitant to get professional photos done then Oona is for you, she made my husband and I feel at home out in a field of apples, and in the middle of the woods. She was there every step of the way throughout the wedding planning process and really gave amazing guidance and input especially during a pandemic ! She has your interests and concerns always at the forefront of what she does and you truly become “besties” through the process. If you are looking for timeless, beautiful, and spectacular photos and want to do it with someone who makes you feel confident, comfortable, and will 99.9% of the time make you laugh and have fun, then Dragonfly Photography is absolutely the perfect fit for you.
Where do I begin? Oona has been working with couples for years, but until you are actually one of her couples- you will never understand the amount of love she puts into her work. The dedication, the amount of Heaven and Earth moving she does to make her couple's dreams come true. All for some pretty beautiful images (I mean, do you follow her social media??). The pure talent is surreal!!
She will hype you up, remind you that you are about to marry the love of your life, make you feel comfortable, and remind you that you are truly the star of the show... all the time! From our first meeting to engagement photos, to the day of our wedding, she has been nothing short of that bff that wants to make sure every single one of your ideas becomes a reality. If she asks if you want recommendations, TAKE THEM- florist, videographer, hair, makeup, venue, she knows the best of the best and strives to give you that.
Thank you Oona for being so dedicated to making dreams come true, and giving us timeless memories.... even during a pandemic, that changed all of our plans to a private 7/25/2020 elopement, she didn't fail to impress.
You have documented the biggest day of our lives, and for that we could never say "thank you" enough.
100% will be recommending you to everyone! Thank again!
Oona was amazing from start to finish. We weren’t local to her but she made a point to have video dates with us just to get to know us and to figure out our vision. Day of she knew the flow of the wedding (because she actually helped us figure it out) and so didn’t have to ask where and when she needed to be places...she was just THERE! She got the shots we asked for and ones we didn’t know we wanted! She was never “in the way” of a moment, but caught all of them. Our photos are amazing. And after the ordering process was easy. Would always recommend. Fun. Personable. professional. Funny. Knowledgeable. Helpful. Becomes a friend and not just a photographer, because who wants strangers at their wedding?
Oona and her team are the absolute best. She and her team were all in from day one--helping to soothe fears, figure out amazing shoot locations, staying calm supportive, helpful (you know how weddings can be!). They were the best. Oh--and they took the most incredible pictures ever. It was absolutely pouring rain and super dreary on the day of the wedding, but from the pictures you wouldn't have known a thing. I think that's what separates them from your run of the mill Facebook marketplace photographers. Some companies are dependent on the weather, Dragonfly and their team make the pictures art regardless of what's going on outside. By the end of the process you feel like they are your best friends. We felt so loved and cared for and understood. Thanks Oona and crew. You are our favorites.
My husband and I eloped three years ago and never had “real” photos taken together. We did an evening session in the fall with Oona of Dragonfly Photo and we couldn’t be happier with the photos and our entire experience.
I work in the commercial photo industry and oddly enough - normally feel super awkward in front of the camera. But Oona made me feel so comfortable, we were laughing and cracking jokes and she’d snap the pictures right at the perfect time. She made us feel so relaxed, and she went above and beyond to get some amazing shots.
It’s easy to get trapped in the everyday, but we are so incredibly happy that we paused to have portraits done by Oona. The photos she did are so special to us!
Dragonfly thank you for giving us the wedding photos we never had!
