FLI Photo & Video

Independence, KY
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,300

I'm Brooke! I'm a fine art photographer and videographer from Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm a mom, an artist, an adventurer and a go-getter and I absolutely love what I do! Capturing true emotion and delivering life-long memories is such a special and important role to take on. My work is classic and timeless. I got my start in shooting weddings when my sister basically forced me to shoot hers in 2018. She knew I was more than capable, and that I just needed a push. I haven't looked back since! She's still my biggest fan to this day.

Brooke was absolutely amazing every step of the way! I hired her for a boudoir shoot and the wedding and nothing about either was uncomfortable or stressful! She was even helpful when I needed recommendations on scheduling and vendor management (talk about going above and beyond!). When she arrived for the photos, I had all my "details" in a box and she jumped right in grabbing everything she needed to be the most efficient with the time she had. Her turnaround was very fast (about 4 weeks for photos, 6 weeks for video). She is honestly worth more than what she charges. Many of my friends and family have since done mini shoots with her because of how much they loved her personality and her results! Very friendly, professional, skilled, creative; I couldn't be more happy!

I am a photographer (obviously) located in Northern Kentucky. I am an enneagram type two (wing six), which basically means I’m a hard worker and a giver. I’m sociable and ambitious, but also incredibly competitive and critical of myself. I truly adore my job and the incredible clients I get to work with. I love hearing your stories and doing my absolute best to capture them. For me, photography is about more than just pretty pictures — it’s about preserving that spark between you and your significant other.

Hannah at Winn's Lens was an amazing, understanding, and great listener throughout our wedding day. The quality of her work was outstanding, stunning, and exactly what we asked for. She truly brought our special day to life, not only capturing incredible photos from every angle, but also helping to wrangle our wedding party and making sure my dress and hair stayed in place. Hannah was fabulous at working with our family and friends, and she was the highlight of our day - we couldn't have imagined it without her.

We used Katy from Back Porch Petals for our wedding flowers and she blew it out of the water!!! She arranged, delivered, and set up my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces (table runners of eucalyptus and babies breath with scattered bud vases with white roses), and 2 altar arrangements. We could not be any happier with absolutely all of it!! I got so many compliments on the florals all night and how great the reception smelled because of the florals and eucalyptus. Additionally, Katy was awesome to work with. She was very sweet, prompt with responses, and she put so much time and consideration into her quote presentations; I could immediately tell we chose the right small business to work with when we first inquired with her. 10/10 recommend Back Porch Petals!!!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and I am still getting complements on the venue and the food provided by the venue to this day. They really went above and beyond to make my day special and handled every issue that came up without bothering me with it. It was raining the day of and they made the decision to move the ceremony from the outside ceremony site to under their tent, which I was a little upset about (obviously the weather is no one’s fault, it was just unfortunate timing) and about 30 minutes before the ceremony it had stopped raining and the venue and their team moved the whole ceremony back outside! They moved all of my decorations and had everything set up beautifully before we started. The staff were also amazing and super helpful and attentive all throughout the night. They really include a lot in their packages and I couldn’t have asked for more from them. Jeremy did our ceremony and it was beautiful and really heartfelt. I won’t be having a wedding any time soon (haha) but I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a smooth, beautiful wedding.

I can’t rave enough about DJ Scott. He was a dream to work with!! Everything was so perfect he made sure the timing of the songs in our ceremony were right on time. He checked in with us all night at the reception to make sure we were having fun and still liked the music. He made our toddlers night playing all of his favorite music and making him feel very important!! Our son makes us pretend to be the dj and flash the living room lights so he can pretend to be on the dance floor still, DJ Scott definitely made a lasting impression with him (and us)! He made sure my husband and I had drinks all night and just made the best environment!! He set up outside at the end of the night for our private last dance and helped create a romantic and relaxing ending to the night. I seriously can’t speak any more highly of him and the experience he helped create for us!!

Rachel is absolutely the best wedding photographer we could have asked for to have at our wedding. She was amazing to work with, from the time we reached out to her with interests in hiring her, to easing us into different poses for our engagement session, to giving us opinions on what colors would photograph best (when we were struggling with deciding on colors for our bridal party), to taking amazing photographs at our fusion Asian-Western wedding (two ceremonies in one day)! She was such a joy to have and was amazingly accommodating when my relatives wanted to take photos on their own phone too during family photos. Everyone loved her at the wedding. She was so sweet to stay later than planned so I was able to have the veil pictures I’ve always wanted during golden hour but couldn’t get due to time constraints earlier that day.

Alex is AMAZING! As soon as I hired Alex in the planning process, everything fell into place. She’s on top of communication with you and vendors and always addresses all concerns you have. The wedding day itself wouldn’t have looked as amazing as it did without her. She dealt with family, vendors, the venue, and little/big hiccups throughout the day and made it seamless and did it with a smile on her face. Alex made sure my now husband and I enjoyed our day and took in every second. It was a dream. I also forgot my place cards, BAD. By the time i got to the venue for pictures, Alex and her assistant had already printed out new place cards ON SITE. I was frantic and felt so bad.

We’re Maurice & Carrie, a husband & wife team who met while working at a movie theater in the suburbs of Chicago when we were just 19. We stayed best friends across states as we followed different paths, ultimately finding ourselves living in Cincinnati, Ohio, reunited (and eventually married in November 2020). Firefly Productions grew out of a passion to do something that was positive & meaningful, and we named it after the fireflies we loved chasing & capturing as children on those hot, summer Illinois nights. We love road trips and obsessed with all things history. We'd rather take the back roads and discover new small old towns!

Firefly Production Videography was absolutely amazing! From the very first conversation, their clear, consistent, and thoughtful communication, warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. They captured our love and emotions so beautifully, and made us feel relaxed, seen, and cared for throughout our special day. The outstanding quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and we can relive the joy, laughter, and love of our wedding every time we watch our video. Their kindness, energy, and talent truly made our day unforgettable. We cannot recommend Firefly Productions, LLC enough.

Kevin from Smilestone DJ Services was absolutely amazing for our wedding! He played all the perfect songs, kept the dance floor packed all night, and created such an incredible atmosphere. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music and energy were. Kevin was also incredibly friendly and made the whole process stress-free for us, which was a huge help on such a big day. One of the highlights of the night was his unique ‘4 Levels of Hype’—each level brought a whole new wave of energy and excitement that took our celebration to the next level. To top it all off, Kevin gave me (the groom) a moment I’ll never forget. He handed over the DJ equipment and let me play a couple of songs! Seeing all my friends pull out their phones and cheer me on was incredible—I felt like a celebrity in my own wedding! The quality of his service was impeccable, and we couldn’t be happier. Several of our friends are already talking about booking him for their own events! We can’t thank Kevin enough for making our wedding so unforgettable.

Hey, there!!! I know you're excited about your wedding day, and I am too. I'm here to help however I can with your special day. I am a full time wedding photographer serving Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. I am also a wife and mom of 3 little babies. Weddings are my favorite to photograph and I just love love. I know it sounds cheesy, but I genuinely love hearing about your love stories, how you met, what your plans together are, and getting to personally know my couples!

Jenna is the BEST! I cannot say enough good things about her. She was incredible to work with. From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot she made us feel so comfortable and confident! On our wedding day Jenna brought that same energy and captured the best photos. She was so attentive to us on that day always checking in and making sure we were doing alright, or asking if we needed anything. I absolutely loved having her as part of our wedding day and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! Simply incredible.

At Crown & Harmony, we believe your engagement should feel joyful, supported & beautifully intentional, not overwhelming or stressful. Your wedding is more than an event; it’s a meaningful celebration of who you are as a couple, & our role is to protect your vision, your time & your peace throughout the entire planning journey.

As a wedding photographer, I've worked with a lot of planners, and Crown & Harmony Events was such a pleasure to work alongside. They were organized, communicative, and kept the day running smoothly without ever making it feel rushed. Their couples are clearly well cared for, and it shows in how relaxed and present everyone is throughout the day. A great planner makes a difference not only for the couple, but for every vendor involved. Crown & Harmony created a collaborative atmosphere that made the entire day enjoyable, and I'd happily work with them again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any couple looking for a planner who is kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making their wedding day everything they hoped for.

I'm Libby, and my flower farm is tucked away in the (sometimes) sunny fields of Ohio. Mornings start with coffee and a moment with Jesus, while the kids and bees are already working hard. I'm hooked on both flowers and farming, and watching them grow side-by-side is pure magic. I love designing bouquets that burst with color and life, just like the blooms I nurture every season. When you choose my flowers, you're not just decorating, you're getting a slice of our joyful, messy farm life, infused with sunshine, strong coffee, and a whole lotta love.

Maple Leaf Barn has the freshest, most beautiful flowers and Libby makes simply elegant arrangements. I love getting my flowers from such a dependable, trusted grower.

Hi, I'm Karley - the heart behind West & Pine Photography. I believe wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. It's about telling the story of one of the most meaningful days of your life in a way that feels real and true to you. I'm passionate about capturing the little moments (and the big ones!) you'll want to relive forever - the laughs, the tears, and the dance floor magic. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, cared for, and completely present on your wedding day while I document it all with timeless, heartfelt photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
West & Pine Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, Karley and her team were prompt, educational, and incredibly patient as we navigated the photography planning process. Their communication style put us at ease and made us feel supported every step of the way. The quality of their work and value they provided was unmatched - they were proactive, efficient, and inclusive, turning every negative situation caused by the hurricane into a positive one. Karley is such an amazing human and made our wedding day as calm as it could be, going above and beyond to ensure we had the most amazing photos to remember our special day. I would recommend West & Pine Photography to everyone!

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation, we knew Ken's Cotton Photography was the right choice for our wedding day. Ken listened carefully to what we wanted and made sure every detail matched our vision perfectly. Her eye for capturing those special moments is incredible, and the photos turned out stunning. We felt so comfortable having her there, and she was thoughtful about every aspect of our day. The quality of her work is exactly what we were hoping for. We'll definitely be using Ken's Cotton Photography for all our photography needs in the future!
