Hi, I'm Meghan. An introverted wedding photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio. After 11 years of capturing weddings, I've learned that my quieter nature is actually one of my greatest assets behind the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I seriously cannot recommend Meghan enough. From the moment we started working together, she made everything feel so easy and natural. We got to know her during our engagement session, and that made such a difference on the wedding day. It honestly made everything feel way more comfortable because we already had that connection going into it. Neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel relaxed and got the most beautiful, genuine photos. When we got our gallery back, we were honestly blown away. Every single photo is so beautiful, and she captured our day better than I could have imagined. The best part is that every single person who has seen our wedding photos has been in complete awe of them. We get so many compliments, and people constantly tell us how stunning they are. We will definitely be using Meghan for all of our future photo needs because she is just that good. If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented, organized, and truly cares about capturing your day, she is your person. These are photos we’ll treasure forever, and I’m so thankful we chose her.”

I am so glad you are here!! Capturing couples' special days is such a passion of mine and I would be honored to tell your story. The elegance and romance of a wedding day inspire me. Capturing the meaningful moments and genuine emotions throughout the celebration is what brings me joy, as I hope it does when you look back on your photos... Creating iconic imagery is also very important to me - I love when couples can look at their photos and feel like they belong on the cover of a magazine (as they honestly should be)!

“From our first conversation with Angela, we knew she was the right fit for our wedding. Angela has such a warm and friendly way about her that made me feel relaxed instead of nervous on our big day. Her pictures are amazing..she captured every moment in a way that feels like a friend was documenting our celebration rather than a hired vendor. The quality of her work is exactly what we were hoping for, and honestly, we can't wait to have her photograph us as we grow our family. If you're looking for a photographer who combines skill with genuine kindness, Angela Nicole Photography is the one!!”

Great communication, incredibly responsive, and attentive to every detail. Rachel made the entire process feel easy and stress-free, which was a blessing during such a busy time. Having two photographers was such a huge bonus. It allowed us to see so many different angles and moments from our big day… Now we get to look back on all of it for the rest of our lives and photos we can show our kids and grandkids one day. On the wedding day, everything felt seamless. She was calm, organized, and captured both the big moments and the small, meaningful details so naturally. We were also so impressed with how quickly we received our photos. We got sneak peeks the very next morning, and in under two weeks, our full gallery was ready. It was filled with beautifully and naturally edited images that truly reflect our perfect day. We’re absolutely in love with how everything turned out.

My mission is to craft an unforgettable photography experience for each person I work with. For me, photography goes beyond capturing beautiful images; it's about capturing moments that can be cherished for a lifetime.

My goal is to capture those genuine, in-between moments, the laughter, the love, and the little details that make your story uniquely yours.

“My wedding was in September 2025, I already had a photographer picked out who was a friend of mine. She had to dropout last minute due to personal reasons, and I was truly in a state of panic, not knowing what direction to go. I stumbled upon Alison‘s portfolio and I knew she would get the job done. From the start, her communication was flawless, I was never left, wondering what was going on or what direction we were going in, and if I had questions she was able to answer them with clarity. I put all of my trust into her and I’m so glad that I did not only did our pictures come back, beautiful and timeless, she helped guide us through the day with such grace.

What started as a spontaneous purchase in 2019—a $50 camera from eBay—turned into a dream I now get to live every day. Not long after picking up that camera, I won an award, showed work in galleries, and was published. With years of encouragement from others, I eventually made the leap to full-time photography—and I’ve never looked back. Weddings are where everything I love about photography comes together. I get to witness and capture the best moments from every angle—those quick glances, bursts of laughter, and quiet emotions that pass in a heartbeat.

His communication was specific and thoughtful, and he brought a beautiful, personalized experience to our wedding. The quality of his work was impeccable, and he provided great value at an affordable price. I didn't have to worry about a thing, as Michael thought of every detail and went above and beyond my expectations.

While I've been photographing weddings for 20 years, my professional career began far from cameras. I created NPR's first satellite news stream and in 2006, after I left the NPR world, I fell in love with photographing weddings! I spent the majority of my wedding career in Washington DC, and relocated to Cleveland in 2023.

From our first encounter with him, we were inspired by Andrew’s passion, creativity, whimsy, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Over our planing calls, we got to know one another well and build a vision for the day that Andrew executed above and beyond any hopes or expectations. He captured organic moments of joy, connection, reverence, and raw emotion that tell a story of our relationship and community, not just a highlight reel of posed moments. Prepared with jokes, candor, and some serious running shoes, his energy and warmth made him a huge hit with our guests - people are commenting on how wonderful he was weeks later.

There is nothing better than getting to know two people, learning their love story, and capturing the raw moments and emotion of one of the biggest days of their lives.

“Working with Jen was truly a blessing! Her organization, professionalism, vision & creativity made our special day come to life. On probably one of the most important days ever to not have to worry about that memory being captured perfectly was honestly the best feeling in the world. Seeing everything she was able to capture after our wedding was over was such a joy. It was like reliving the day all over again. One of the special touches that she did that really touched my heart was when posting a picture of our wedding she gathered all the information about the other people involved, hair salon, church, reception venue, videographer, limo company etc. & she tagged them in her photo. To me that is such a sweet detail that I truly appreciated the recognition she gave all of them!”

We were blown away by how naturally they captured every single emotion throughout the day. They worked together seamlessly, making sure not a single moment was missed! Our portraits are breathtaking, and the candid shots truly tell the story of our wedding in the most magical way!

I've been behind the camera more years that not. I've gotten on lots of planes, driven many miles, and gotten up before the sun for the sake of a good story. I like collaborating and telling a story that resonates true to my subjects.

“Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more”

“Dragonfly Photography was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was at the top of our priority list. We wanted timeless images, but more than that, we wanted to find someone who would make the process easy and be someone we would enjoy spending time with on our wedding day. Just a few minutes into speaking with Dragonfly's lead photographer, Oona, we instantly connected and knew that she and her team would be the perfect fit 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. Throughout the planning process, she went above and beyond, working with our other vendors behind the scenes to ensure every base was covered. During the months leading up to our wedding, she even sent us reminders, items to pack, timeline suggestions, and genuine messages of excitement for my husband and I over the course of the planning process. It was truly a top-notch experience . 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 my husband and I could never 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!!”

B. Frohman Imaging and Design Studios 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Independence, OH

Welcome to B. Frohman Imaging & Design! I love adventurous people, goofy people, and animal people. I give my clients actions rather than poses, since I feel that is the best way to get their true personalities to shine. It is my job to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera, and have fun while doing so! I’m obsessed with the big moments, the small moments, and the in-between moments. My team delivers sharp, vibrant images with unique style and uncompromising craftsmanship. My style is modern, cinematic art- a combination of stylized images showing you at your best and candid moments showing the organic vibe you bring.

“From our first conversation, we knew B. Frohman Imaging and Design Studios was the right choice for us. Bobbi was so easy to work with and truly made us feel heard throughout the entire process. She showed up on our wedding day as not just a photographer, but a huge supporter who helped us feel our best when we needed it most. The photos she delivered are absolutely frame worthy and feel so personal to our story. What really says it all is that two of our bridesmaids loved working with her so much they booked her for their own weddings. We couldn't recommend Bobbi enough to any couple looking for someone who cares as much about capturing your day as you do.”
