I truly care about all of my couples. I'll be there through it all - planning the wedding, shooting engagement session, documenting your day and even after with family or anniversary portraits. Connection with each other is just as important as loving the work of the photographer. After 140+ weddings and 7 years in the field, I can honestly say,
being a Cleveland wedding photographer is the best.

My Approach
Traditional isn't my thing. Super posed for every photo is not my thing. I'm kinda weird, kinda moody, and sometimes my photos reflect that. Natural light is the bees knees BUT I love messing around with lighting scenarios and creating some in depth , vogue type shots as well.
I want to photograph what makes you guys unique, how you make each other laugh, the look of love between you two. More than that, these photos should show the vibe of your wedding, the fun your guests experience, the emotion that is felt throughout the day. And with that sweet cherry on top, I'll be your helper too. Buttoning your train, tying your shoes and making you feel on top of the world is my top priority.
And sometimes I speak in memes.
Whatever the question was, it was meaningful and it was truthful. You have agreed to spend you life with someone through the ups and downs till death do you part. Wether it be an elopement in the woods with 4 people or an extravagant wedding in Downtown Cleveland with 300 guests, your photos should reflect one of the best days of your life in the most beautiful way possible. I will cry and laugh with you and I will do just about anything to get the shot you desire.
It all started with the big question...
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
I'm an alternative
wedding photographer.
WILL YOU BE MY PLAYER #2 IN SUPER MARIO FOREVER?
WILL YOU BE MY PARTNER FOR LIFE?
We're a good fit if you are...
Feel maybe a little nerdy or awkward. I find that some couples don't even think they can be photographed, I promise, it gets easier. Having a connection with someone is a shit ton better than feeling like your're stuck in a JCPenny studio. Let's grab a drink or eat some snacks and talk about your expectations.
AWKWARD
Like the candid moments? The details? The organic emotions? I prefer to give you prompts instead of stiff posing. Talking with you to get you to interact with one another. But to mix with that, Editorial poses can bring a whole other dimension to the wedding day as well.

Quick Q&A's
1/2
While most weddings fit into the three packages I have to offer - elopements, small intimate weddings tend not to. Not a problem, I can help create a package that is more fitting to your special day.
Do you do custom packages?
Do you travel?
Hell yeah.
Weddings within one hour of Elyria are included with each package. Additional mileage fee is dependent upon location.
Out of state? Not a problem, contact me so we can figure a custom package deal, Adventure elopements and destination weddings are a different sphere. I'd love to travel and have a bucket list of places I'd be happy to make a deal on.
Quick Q&A's
You betcha. Through the online gallery you'll receive, you will have cart options to buy prints and canvases. I also offer signature books and premium albums as well that are customizable to your liking and great heirloom pieces.
Do you offer albums or prints?

I'm not 'alternative' looking, but I love your style. Would you work with me?
Absolutely! In the end it's about that connection. I've worked with a large variety of people over the last seven years. It truly comes down to us vibing well together. You'd be surprised at the amount of couples that have secret nerdy hobbies or love of types of music but have more clean cut look/theme. Doesn't matter to me - as long as we can joke and talk shit - let's go!

Talking for hours and dozing off with the tv on. The record skips a few times and we pick a new song to fall asleep to. Morning coffee, a few minutes late to work, a brisk walk down the street window shopping for the upcoming fall season. Wool sweaters, bare trees, cold nights.
Question 8
So cold we can see our breath as we hike the open fields in the fog. Climbing and chasing waterfalls while the sun sets behind the mountain and the snow falls in the river. Chatting with locals while we sip our coffee and head out for the next adventure.
Question 7
Morning coffee and reading the newspaper together, the cool fall breeze blowing through the window as you pour another cup. Black denim and leather boots, the deepest crimson flannel. Rose gold and velvet. Rich and lush. Red wine and dark twilight nights.
Question 6
Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls.

FAQs
It felt like talking with an old friend. She is kind, professional, and of course incredibly talented at what she does. It was imperative that we chose a photographer we felt comfortable with and the consultation sealed the deal. And let me tell you--we were completely blown away by our absolutely STUNNING pictures.
your photos will speak for themselves.
I’ve had Paige capture our engagement, boudoir, our wedding ceremony and are having her do our reception next year and she has been nothing short of flawless every single time. Not only are her photos perfect, but she’s also incredibly personable and responsive. She creates such a fun atmosphere while still remaining totally professional. I cannot recommend her enough!
Have I Told You Lately That You're a Photography Goddess?
I cannot express how thankful I am that I booked Paige and her team (Ashley 🙌🏼) for my wedding. They went above and beyond! They helped everyone feel in their element and comfortable (even in the snow) and never came off stressed at all! The picture quality is absolutely amazing and with the amount of pictures we are in love with, we are going to need more wall space! We can’t wait to book more photo sessions in the future!
just over the moon with how amazing they turned out!
