The Kubicinas

knows me, they will tell you I'm a pretty particular person. I believe I initially found LIAYN through the Knot. Once I visited their website and started looking through their work, I was really impressed. The quality of their photos and videos blew any other photographers I was considering out of the water. I'm not sure how long our first phone call was, but it genuinely felt like I was reconnecting with an old friend. The vision I had for our big day aligned perfectly with what Katrina described and I could instantly tell she loved what she did. We first met Katrina and Mark in person during our engagement photo session. Eric and I are both naturally anxious people, but Katrina really has a special way of making you forget about the cameras and focusing on either her or your spouse all while creating an environment you want to be in. I remember the sunflower field had died and the sky was pretty foggy from the wildfires out west the day we scheduled our engagement pictures. Not a problem with Katrina and Mark. They actually brainstormed with us on the spot to select location alternatives to make the best out of our session. They did that and then some! As if planning a wedding throughout a global pandemic wasn't stressful enough, my dad ended up having three stents placed in one of his major arteries two weeks before our wedding. Jake from the LIAYN team was kind enough to put together a special mashup for our father daughter dance and gracious enough to fall back on plan B once we found out about his health. Both Katrina and Jake were wonderful when it came to discussing details closer to the big day when I was certain I was going to lose my mind. They really put me at ease during an extremely stressful time in my life. Jake is the only man you want hosting your reception too! He got all of our guests so hyped and the one time I did get on the dance floor, I remember not wanting to ever leave. He's equally talented at what he does. Another thing Eric and I were anxious about was getting all of our photos done in a timely manner before our reception. Never had to worry with the LIAYN team. We not only got THE most gorgeous shots, but we had a blast while doing it! It felt like a mini celebration before the actual celebration with our friends and family. The drone footage Ryan captured for our highlight video was next level and Katrina proved there is absolutely no limitations in the name of the shot. She climbed on top of ledges, Mark's shoulders, and even squawked at seagulls in the middle of the Ashtabula harbor to get that perfect angle or enhance our background. It's not just what they do, but how they do it that make them a dream to work with. The one thing that truly touched me about LIAYN I didn't even discover until weeks later. A live photo my MOH captured of my dad and I during our dance, you can see Katrina wiping tears away from her face. I don't think I've EVER seen a photographer cry while shooting a wedding. They become part of your family and looking back, I can't imagine anyone else capturing our love. We highly recommend LIAYN for all of your photography and videography needs. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

azing photos- capturing candids that reflected the fun we had throughout the day & small moments I never want to forget with my husband. My family remarked how happy they were to have candid moments of all our favorite people from that day. Katrina also does an excellent job of making you feel comfortable while taking gorgeous posed photos. I worried that I would feel awkward and unnatural and she proved that was not the case right away. I felt comfortable to be myself & so did my husband. She's the ultimate hype woman you need on your wedding day. The photos blew us away and we will forever have unique and artistic photos of that day!! Along the way she went above and beyond communicating with me & even giving advice about timeline and wedding day tips. Booking her and her team was the best vendor decision we made in the wedding planning process!

hey exceeded them! Katrina is just so kind and thoughtful is her approach to dealing with couples that she makes it so easy to work with them. The day of experience was seamless... at least for us anyways. I hope they would say the same. They arrived early, stayed late and didn't complain when we dragged them to a few spots in downtown Cleveland for pictures. Even our wedding party, parents and guests raved about how kind and professional they are. Lastly, the take A LOT of pics and get them to you in such a timely fashion. If you are getting married in Cleveland, do yourself a favor and hire Love Is All You Need.
