Ron Shuller's Creative Images Photography & Video

ve a pretty big wedding party along to keep on schedule and did so with such patience and understanding. Prior to the wedding day he met with my mom and I at his home and discussed what he wanted and needed from us as well as what myself and the groom wanted! Ron Shuller has such a great team behind him, they were always asking if there was anything we wanted that was not captured and made sure all our needs were met! We are so excited to get our images back, we just know they will be amazing! We were so lucky to find this great and caring company! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

s competitively priced and I would recommend him!

recommend him to anyone who wants an experienced, versatile photographer/videographer who is such a pleasure to work with too and will give them beautiful, high quality wedding shots/video!

n to let him know, hey we were looking over our budget and this package is not going to work for us. (Which had truth in it - we found that we actually had more money to spend on a photographer, and I liked their packages much better.) His time and effort he put into the communication between us was not lost on me, so I was attempting to be kind about not selecting him. This was his response: "In my 45 years of doing weddings, I can never understand why someone would plan on such an elegant wedding as yours in the highest class, most prestigious venue in town and then skimp on the most important aspect of it, the memories that they’ll cherish for a lifetime. Good luck to you." Glad I never hired him. Not sure if that was supposed to bully me into selecting his services. This type of attitude is extremely unprofessional and frankly, childish. Looking back, he repeatedly sent multiple email messages even before I had the chance to respond. This was the first red flag and I'm glad in the end we found a photographer who is much more qualified and has more class.

e even finished early so that we got to eat before the ceremony! The photographer's showed us photos throughout the day so that we could see what they were taking and how they looked, they were gorgeous! My family and I highly recommend using Ron as your photographer! We could not of asked for better photographers!!!

. They were so kind and professional and above that they were respectful of our families and church sanctuary. They were very organized and captured all of the moments we wanted. At the end of the night, they even asked both of our mothers if there were any specific photos they would like to have taken. We couldn't believe how thoughtful they were -- WE didn't even think to do that! Finally, the presentation of photos afterwards is superb. Not only is there quick access to an online gallery of all the photos taken, but they even created an app for us to view them easily on our phones. The photos have true-to-life colors full of warmth and many of the photos are thoughtfully composed. We can't wait to hang our favorites in our new home as reminders of what a beautiful and love-filled wedding we had. We would recommend Ron and his team to anyone looking for experienced professional photographers.

cause we had seen his pictures and we knew his work would be breath taking-capturing all the "big", and "little" moments and memories. Viewing his work created high expectations, which he certainly lived up to. Not only was his work outstanding, but working directly with him and Ali was the exact experience we desired-they were fun, professional, accommodating, and best of all, they LISTED to what Hilary and I wanted captured on our special day. Best of all, Ron didn't just deliver outstanding photos and great photography service, but he actually designed the agenda for our entire wedding day, ensuring we had enough time to take the pictures we wanted, where we wanted, when we wanted. This exercise helped create a time line that Hilary and I would be comfortable with, and allowed us to easily plan the rest of agenda for our wedding day. I can't say enough about the professional AND personal service that Ron and Ali provided. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to get the best photographer Cincinnati has to offer!"

solutely wonderful! They went with the flow, even if things got a little crazy, and were just so kind and respectful. I wish they would have taken pictures of more of the important details, like our toasting flutes, but overall they did a nice job. I cannot say the same about the owner, Ron, however. He was difficult to contact at times before and after the wedding, and was rude (in my opinion) when I inquired about some missing photos. He sent me one photo I specified that I did not see in the collection, but he claimed that there were no more missing photos. I am not sure how thoroughly he checked, as it seemed he only searched for the one photo, which was one of hubby and I cutting the cake. It makes me wonder if other important pictures, like the toasting flutes, were left out. When I continued to express concern, Ron sent me a short email back saying, "You have all of the files! There are no more." This just came off rude, in my opinion. For how much we paid for wedding photographers, I feel a little more above-and-beyond service was deserved, such as letting me know how many photos I could expect on the flash drive and kinder, more reassuring responses.

photographers, it was clear that Ron Shuller runs his business well and that his team’s products speak for themselves. Ron also did the engagement photos for us a few months ago. I think it’s awesome that he includes the engagement session for free when you book a wedding package. Not only did the pictures turn out incredibly well, but he kept us laughing and having fun the entire time! Can't wait for him and his team to do our wedding!

n or input throughout the day. Ali was slightly better at actually being personable. It also seemed like they had never worked together before and were often on different pages. I started off with wanting some pictures of me putting my dress on, Steve arrived took a few shoe/ring photos then stepped out of the dressing room so I could get the majority of my dress on. This took only about 5 minutes and my bridesmaids went to let the photographer back in the room and he was gone. It took about 15-20 minutes to find him and get back as I just stood there holding up my dress. Finally dressed I had a number of locations I wanted to get pictures at with my girls. I even organized a little golf cart to take us around. We only got to two of them. Honestly taking every photo was a struggle, I had locations picked out but was hoping for some/any input from the photographers on structuring the pictures or positioning bridesmaids. I got nothing. It also took them a significant amount of time to take a set of pictures. Usually I’m a pretty patient person and I understand adjusting for light/focus, but this was beyond the norm. Unfortunately there was a number of pictures that didn’t get accomplished that I really wanted. Some of the ceremony pictures were really far off and at bad angles. The reception was slightly better. I didn’t notice the photographers as much and I assumed they were off getting shots of the guests. When I got the pictures back I was again disappointed that the photographers didn’t make an effort to go around the various tables to take pictures. I had about 115 people at the wedding and maybe a generous 45 where captured. Most of the reception pictures where just me, while I was a beautiful bride I really wish they would have taken pictures of my extended family that traveled especially for the wedding. Later I also found out from my bridesmaids that the photographers jumped in the buffet line ahead of most of my guest. I had no problem with them getting food. However, I didn’t think it was appropriate to jump the line before the wedding party had eaten. When I met with Ron Shuller he seemed like a really nice professional photographer. Unfortunately his photographers that actually worked the wedding were nothing him. When I got the pictures back there were some good pictures included. I got over 1000 pictures back. Even though there were two photographers they ended up taking a lot of the same pictures only at a slightly different angle. I still would not recommend these photographers for any wedding.

nd on the day of the wedding, and basically did everything I asked and more. My main photographer was a dream and so easy to work with. I gave her a very vague idea of the look I was going for and she took that and ran with it. She also took us to an unplanned location that ended up being my absolute favorite spot for photos, I never would have found it without her as it was hidden away in a little park! If you are looking for a professional, excellent photographer at a reasonable price, then you should book Ron Shuller and his team.

l welcome, listened to what you wanted for your day, and offered advice when questions would come up. Fast forward to wedding day, the photographers all were professional, knew what they were doing, and even took the time to get the perfect shots. I would highly recommend Ron Shuller's company!

ot only did we love them but so did our family and friends. We are so happy with how all of our photos turned out and cannot wait to see our book. Oh and the media booth was awesome, our guest loved it!

ttention to detail! It all started with meeting at the BB Riverboats Wedding Expo in March of 2016, where he was there and he just had this sense of ease and experience. He never once ever acted like a gay wedding had any different kind of affect on him or his company. Soon after our meeting at the expo, we met at his studio in Reading, Ohio and we were immediately blown away with the professionalism on his office and all of his portfolios. We specifically wanted to see what he could do on a BB Riverboat, as that was the complicated venue we decided to have the wedding and reception on. So many photographers we interviewed we either scared of the venue and shied away from it or they flat out quoted exponentially high rates. The base package was very appealing as he offered 1 to 2 photographers for up to 13 total man hours and a pack of 100 thank you cards for around $2,100, which was easily $2,000 to $4,000 less than 75% of the photographers interviewed. When we asked how he is able to do this, Ron told us flat-out "because he has been doing this for 43 years and he has learned how to manage his time and train all of his photographers to be just like him when it came to time management." Right off the bat, I could tell this was true because as the time progressed we filled out a form where we indicated all kinds of things like the "must have" pics and a narrative of how we wanted our pictures to be conveyed all through out the night. We also worked out the logistics of how the wedding day would transpire and worked out a systematic and detailed time line to accomplish our goals in a timely yet emotionally fulfilling manner! And on the day of the wedding everything from the timeline and list was followed to the letter! We were thrilled with everything and of course the quality of product! WOW!

ctures and we knew his work would be breath taking-capturing all the "big", and "little" moments and memories. Viewing his work created high expectations, which he certainly lived up to. Not only was his work outstanding, but working directly with him and Ali was the exact experience we desired-they were fun, professional, accommodating, and best of all, they LISTED to what Hilary and I wanted captured on our special day. Best of all, Ron didn't just deliver outstanding photo's and great photography service, but he actually designed the agenda for our entire wedding day, ensuring we had enough time to take the pictures we wanted, where we wanted, when we wanted.

I can't say enough about the professional AND personal service that Ron and Ali provided. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to get the best photographer Cincinnati has to offer!

arty- especially the kids was great. Highly recommend.

nd so thankful that I chose this team. Lacy and Sarah even helped me bustle my dress! I had an all around great photography experience with them! I hope I spelled your names correctly!

ng party took photos all over Cincinnati. Although we haven't seen the photos yet, I know that they got some great shots. Ron was great to work with. He sat down with the bride and groom ahead of time and put together a photo schedule that made everything run smoothly. I would highly recommend Ron Shuller as your wedding photographer.

during our special day. We met with Ron to pick our package, and then again to plan out the schedule (so quick and easy - he definitely knows what he's doing!) Then Steven and his team arrived the day of our wedding and didn't stop taking pictures from the moment they got there. The team was very professional and great to work with. And the pictures are seriously beautiful. I want to frame them ALL! Definitely consider these guys if you're looking for a photographer - you will not regret it!

rty through all the excitement. Could not have asked for a better company to use to capture our special day.

nd helpful when explaining the various packages, he had to offer. He even gave us a complimentary photo booth to allow us to get all that we wanted while remaining in our budget. After deciding to go with Ron, we meet twice more and created a detailed timeline for the day of the wedding. All of this to say, Ron is very organized and strong communicator. Ron sent two photographers, Steve and Ed, to shoot our ceremony and reception. Steve and Ed were professional, flexible (very much open to suggestions) and did a great job adhering to the timeline. We were very satisfied with the quality of the photos and delighted to see a great mix of traditional shots and poses reflecting the elegance of the event – as well as vibrant candids of our guest enjoying the celebration. After the wedding the turnaround time to receive photos was pretty good and again Ron was in constant communication regarding the progress. Overall, Ron Shuller provided a very positive experience for our big day. I would happily recommend his services to anyone that inquired.

ame. Ron was very prompt in returning phone calls or emails when I had questions, would respond within an hour at the most! I had two photographers, Ron and Ali. Both were professional and took over 1,000 pictures between the two of them. Ron also had my husband and I out to the studio for a mini engagement session a few months before the wedding and he was very flexible with his schedule as we had to reschedule once.

reat balance of classic and modern without being too trendy. I didn’t want to look back at my wedding photos years down the road and think they were dated. The quality of the shots in their gallery was great, and we got the same high quality with our pictures as well! The second reason we chose Ron Shuller is that they’ve been around for so long, they know what they are doing and definitely have this whole wedding thing down! There were shots I didn’t even know our photographers were taking the day of, but when we got our pictures back and I saw them, I was SO glad to have them! Our photographers were Steven and Ed and we were THRILLED with them. (At the end of the night, I even asked if I could give them a hug goodbye, because they had been such an amazing part of our day, they felt like friends!) They worked really well together had lots of great shot ideas. They seemed to pick up on the types and styles of photos we liked, and in addition to obliging us, they would give suggestions for more photos based on what we liked, and we LOVED those suggestions. I was really worried about doing first look photos, thinking that it could be so awkward, but Steven was so unobtrusive, and it turned out to be a really fun experience. I also have to give Steven a shout out because he helped our groomsmen put on their boutonnieres! (When our wedding planner saw it, she was super impressed that he even pined them the correct way, because apparently most people mess it up!) How many photographers go above and beyond like that? After the wedding, I just couldn’t wait to get our photos back, and when we did, we definitely weren’t disappointed. Thanks you so much to Ed and Steven and to Ron for all their hard work in helping us preserve our special day!

they finished at the reception, they went above and beyond to make sure that we had the greatest photography and videography experience. When we received all of our wedding pictures, we were just blown away by how beautiful they all were. There are so many great ones to choose from, we don't know how we are going to decide on our favorites! Big thanks to Ron and his team (special shoutout to Ali) for helping us make our day so memorable!

oose more. The pics, albums, day of, and everything were perfect and at a reasonable cost compared to the market. If I got married again...which I'm not...I'd hire RON!!!

terrible angles. We aren't super models, I get it, but we aren't as unattractive as we look in the pictures. There was not enough/any time built into the timeline so we had to skip a location.

IATELY jumped on helping me with the entire process. he still had our files, showed me how to create the album online and had it ready weeks early! It's really refreshing to see how much he cared 10 years later! Ron is worth every penny and his customer service and quality are top notch. Book your event with Ron!

I did not like was during our "formal" pictures with the bridal party after our ceremony, I felt pressured to know what kinds of poses/shots I wanted. I'm sure they were just trying to ensure that we got all the kinds of pictures that we'd want, but when we told them that we literally had no poses in mind, I felt that he should have taken control and told us what to do. Otherwise, the pictures were great. There were many to choose from and they truly did capture every moment. Even with some last minute changes the day of in how the reception was going to happen, they were flexible. We also had the photobooth at our reception; they did a great job and those photos came out crystal clear.

ld have thought of. I would highly recommend them for your wedding!

res...we are absolutely beyond happy with the service and final product! Ron helped us decide which package was best for us, and while he offered us many reasonable add-ons, we never felt pressured to add additional services. He helped us create the timeline for the day of the event. We had two photographers (Pam and Ali who were both absolutely wonderful), and they were with us for a combined total of 13 HOURS! It rained the day of our wedding, and Pam and Ali were so creative when it came to making sure we got all of our shots. They kept our large bridal party moving and helped us get to our reception ASAP. We received our mini-montage and about 1100 pictures 2 weeks after our wedding (which was during June-- a very busy wedding time). We are beyond thrilled with the quality and quantity of pictures. They got every shot we wanted and shots we never knew we wanted! Highly recommend Ron Shuller and his team!

photographer who was with me, the Bride. We had 2 and the other was with the groom and his groomsmen. I spent more time with Lacy and she was the BEST.... EVER!! She came up with the most creative ways to capture moments and the best part of all was after the wedding. As soon as the wedding was over the guests were escorted out of the chapel to go to the reception immediately. They were out in maybe 10 minutes, then the photographers BLEW ME AWAY! They got through all of the pictures so quickly and was so organized. We met with Ron to tell him all the pics we wanted and who we wanted them with and Lacy remembered them all, called them out, and captured everything. I was amazing. They were GREAT! HIGHLY RECOMMEMDED! Look no further, book with Ron Shuller!!!!!

elt comfortable with the whole process, from choosing the right package to working out timing that accommodated everything we wanted on the big day. We were thrilled with both the amount and quality of work that we received: the mini montage was a big hit with our friends and family members who couldn’t attend, and it was truly challenging to narrow down the pictures to just a few of our favorites. Best of all, they had everything done within just a week after our wedding—I was highly impressed by the fast turnaround time! Our event photographers, Brian and Ali, were also terrific. Everyone felt comfortable around them both right away and had no problems just being ourselves, which definitely made for much more memorable wedding photos. They managed to capture many special moments, and we are so thankful to them and the rest of Ron Shuller’s staff.

he photos that we wanted. Our guests keep saying how great they were - that they were capturing all the candid photos but not being pushy or invasive. We decided to have the photo booth at the reception and what a great pick. All night I keep looking over and our guests were over there having a blast. I will be sure to recommend Ron Shuller Photography to everyone that asks. Thanks guys for a great day. (even the not so great weather could have dampened the Perfect Day and Night we had!)

n and professional. They made sure to catch all of the images that we requested, and then some. We would definitely recommend Ron Shuller to everyone.

ctly suited for our wedding. The were poise, on top of everything, and extremely personable. I was extremely comfortable in their presence. Professionalism was at an all time high. They were never pushy and simply did as I asked. If you are looking for a huge load off of your shoulders I definitely recommend this company!

n and Ed were the photographers at our wedding, and they were so fun, easy going, and made the process of getting pictures taken enjoyable and relaxing. We took the majority of our shots prior to the wedding ceremony. At first I did not want to do this, but I am SO GLAD that we did. After the formal pictures were taken, we were able to relax before the ceremony. We also used Ron Shuller's team (specifically Patti) to take video of our wedding. We have not gotten the video back yet - but I am sure it will be amazing and we can watch our wedding over and over again and relive the special day. Thank you so much Ron Shuller, Alan, Ed and Patti for such a wonderful wedding day experience.

o "outstanding" and fun! The photographers were attentive to detail and very accommodating to our needs. Great photography work!

those photographers through Ron Shuller's Creative Images. I was a little worried about using staff photographers and not meeting them prior to the wedding day, but it was not a problem. Both of our photographers were relaxed, fun to be around and professional. I am so glad we chose Ron Shuller's Creative Images for our big day!

anything extra special and Ron seemed to have a pretty standard package and generally good reviews. The photos turned out great, but the process and hidden fees were awful. The process: Ron does a pretty good job introducing the packages and walking you through the 'standard' checklists that most wedding vendors have. We even thought that it was great that Ron entered all of details in a database right in front of us so that we knew he was getting everything correct. What we didn't know was that Ron uses his database to send about three dozen form emails before and after the wedding with details that are best discussed in person and not written down in "CYA" fashion. Oh by the way - read them all. You might miss the hidden charges. The Hidden Charges: All of the other vendors that we worked with made the day off the wedding very hands off. Ron had my wife or me or our parents sign off to release the photographer on time or risk extra charges if we did not tell him to leave when the time was up. Let's just say it is a good thing we didn't go too late or we might have forgotten to "release" him. Another charge... we decided to get the wedding book and happily handed over our credit card for payment of the standard jaw dropping photography amount in full about two months before our wedding. Good thing we paid up front, right? Wrong. We had to pay some sort of processing fee for our pre-paid wedding book AFTER the event. Talk about a situation that was too late to back out of... we had already paid for 90% of the package, and here is the last 10% when you are dying of sticker shock after the whole wedding is over. Solicitation: I was not going to write a review because, frankly, I thought we were finished with this whole awful process. Then, much to my surprise, Ron emails our PARENTS to let them know if they order now that can save on their very own copy of our wedding book. I thought we were giving our parents email addresses to Ron so that they could be notified of the online photos... not so that they could be solicited for an extra few cents. Just ridiculous. The entire wedding experience was fantastic, and we use lots of vendors that we checked out here on The Knot. All of them were great! Maize Music, Bonbonerie, The Madison Event Center... all except for Ron Shuller. Unless you are desperate, save yourself the hassle.

e had ( Lacy) did a fabulous job! I love my photos! and there were ALOT of them! 1400 to be exact! Which I know many friends who wish they had more than 100 good photos so I feel very fortunate! the down side to the company was they told me they would have a mini preview video of our wedding exactly a week after the wedding (which I was thrilled about) and they didn't have it till almost two weeks. Which I normally wouldn't have cared but don't tell me you're going to have it and then don't have it. As a bride we aren't patient about the photos! BUT they made up for that and had my photos ready for me the next day after the video was done. So I was more okay with that taking longer. So it only took 2 weeks from the wedding date for me to be able to view my photos online. Which I loved! Most brides don't have them for months! Over all did a fabulous job and worth the money! I have many photos I am obsessed with!

ren't "in your face" or obnoxious like they can be at some weddings. They were in the background but still got a ton a great shots. We are extremely happy with the photographers and the photograph. I would recommend Ron Shuller's Creative Images to any of my friends and if my sister gets married in the Cincy area she will be using Ron Shuller!

took the time to sit down with us, explain every detail, and work our an ideal photography package for our wedding. We signed our contract at the very first meeting because we KNEW they would be excellent. One of the original photographers assigned to our wedding day got sick 4 days before the wedding! When I heard this my stomach dropped a little, but the very next sentence out of Ron's mouth was... "But, I have already assigned a replacement and he does amazing work!" Amazing work does not even begin to describe both photographers on our wedding day. They were able to capture the most amazing moments... Those times when my husband and I were holding hands, exchanging a kiss, or just smiling at one another because we were so happy are now memories we can look back at and share with others through the amazing photos taken by Ron Shuller's Creative Images team! The only difficult part about working with Ron Shuller's Creative Images is selecting our favorites for the book that came with our package! There were almost 2,000 images to choose from and so many of them were so beautiful! Overall, if you are looking for an amazing photographer for your wedding in the Cincinnati/Dayton Ohio area, Ron Shuller's Creative Images definitely delivers and would be an excellent choice for any Bride & Groom!

hers definitely made things fun and I didn't have to worry at all about whether or not they were going to get the shots we wanted. Ron was very helpful and answered all of our questions. We also got 100 free thank-you cards for signing up during our first visit (although he doesn't mention right away that it takes 3-5 weeks for the order to be processed). The photo books are a bit on the pricey side so we didn't end up getting one (especially since we can order individual prints from Ron). Good service and good quality!
