To put it very simply, I love ‘love’ so much, in all its beautiful and varied forms, and Ace Images Photography’s philosophy is to capture and document love in the purest, most romantic of ways. One person (they know who they are), constantly inspires me to love myself. That person always has my back and encourages me to keep going and allows me to make sure everything for my clients is perfect. Our approach to photography emphasizes lightness with a moody, raw edge. We strive to capture images that are timeless, vibrant and evocative.

Angela from Ace Images Photography LLC was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Her friendly approach and professionalism made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, and she went above and beyond with her prep work before our wedding day. She didn't just capture beautiful photos—she also guided us through poses, helped us stay on schedule, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Angela's direction during the whole wedding was clear and calm, which really showed in how natural our photos turned out. We loved having her as part of our team, and she genuinely made our special day even more special. We can't recommend her enough!

Wedding photography is more than just taking photos to me but it’s about capturing real emotions, meaningful moments, and memories that couples can cherish forever. I’m passionate about documenting love stories in a way that feels natural, timeless, and authentic. From the excitement before the ceremony to the laughter, tears, and celebration throughout the day, I strive to preserve every moment in a beautiful and genuine way. As I continue growing in the wedding industry, My goal is to tell each couple’s story through photographs they can look back on for years to come and relive one of the most important days of their lives.

Kloé is a phenomenal photographer. A normal planned family photo shoot between my boyfriend and I turned into a surprise engagement orchestrated by the two of them. Kloé’s the type of photographer that doesn’t just take photographs but captures the emotions, feelings, and moment so perfectly. She made the session fun and enjoyable.

  • Officiant

  • Serves Kent, OH

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tim was an absolutely incredible officiant and you can tell he absolutely loves his job. He makes a point to ask the perfect questions from his couples that will lead to such a beautiful ceremony. Our wedding was in September of 24, and we still get people mentioning how awesome Tim was. I'd totally suggest him to anyone.

We recently had our wedding at Elm Ridge with their all-inclusive package. The venue was very easy to work with and communicated well when we had questions. Sarah was beyond helpful during our final meeting with suggestions and tips for planning our timeline. The DJ, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and kept both the ceremony and reception running smoothly. All the food was great and the reception room is perfect, especially with the uplighting! Overall, we felt Elm Ridge was affordable and a good value for how many vendors and items are included. It was also a very nice touch when they threw in chair covers for free on the day of our wedding. We had plenty of food to bring home which was a nice surprise and all the staff was wonderful and even helped to hunt down one of our personal pieces of silverware that got lost in the shuffle.

Liza was truly amazing!! She was so patient with us, she unstood us as a couple. She knew I was so stressed picking out the music for the day. She was more than willing to sit and try to match songs up with what we already had picked out. She had found the best places for us to walk out to them . Liza even made a wedding day timeline for us! She had so many great suggestions for our day (ballroom blitz, her drone to take a photo, certain dance with people, a pho exit for photos, the list could go on and on.) Before you even meet with Liza she sends a huge list of wedding day tips which was a life saver for me. Lastly which was so unexpected, Liza was there making sure I was okay, and drinking water! What DJ does that?!? And then after the ceremony she greated me with a tequila sunrise. I have so many amazing things to say about Liza. Thank you so much for making our day flow and keeping the party alive.

We cannot say enough good things about Edd! He DJ’d our wedding this past September and absolutely crushed it from start to finish. He also DJ’d my sister’s wedding, so we already knew we were in great hands—and he still exceeded our expectations. Edd truly understands electronic-style music and can mix seamlessly, which kept the dance floor packed all night long. The energy never dipped, the transitions were flawless, and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. On top of his talent, he has an amazing personality—professional, fun, and so easy to work with. He knows how to read the room and keep the party going without missing a beat. He’s DJ’ing my best friend’s wedding this coming June. We’d recommend Edd to anyone who wants a packed dance floor and a DJ who has exceptional talent and skill! —Ashley & David Hudoba

We want our couples to show their video to their family and friends, their kids and grandkids for the next 20, 30, 50 years… We want our clients to love watching their video as much as we loved making it. We love what we do and it shows.

I cannot recommend Work Shed Weddings enough. Our day went by so fast and was such a blur, so it is great to be able to relive it, thanks to them! Communication with Nick and Tristen was prompt, informative, organized, professional, and thorough. We had Nick and Kyle for our wedding. They were both great to work with and just pleasant to be around. We knew our videos would be phenomenal based on their previous work, but we were totally taken away with ours! They were sure not to miss any moment with incredible shots. We cannot believe how beautifully everything flowed from the editing process, such a true skill! The music within our videos was also placed perfectly. I looked into several portfolios for other videographers in the planning process and this was the only one that stood out to me, so I am still so thankful that they were available for our day!

Being new to planning a wedding, we had no idea what we were signing up for. Quickly into the planning process, we realized we needed help to pull off our special day. The process of finding a day-of coordinator felt overwhelming—until we found MK Events. Their sign-up process was a breeze, with a low initial booking fee that was incredibly helpful as we budgeted for our big day. The clarity with which they outlined their duties gave us the confidence we needed to know we were in capable hands. I truly cannot think of a single critique. Without Melissa and Kourtney, I would have felt completely overwhelmed. They held everything together with such grace, a fun spirit, and a calm demeanor that was not only infectious but grounding and very much needed on a day filled with heightened emotions. They became more than just coordinators—they were a safe space and a solid support system beyond what I can express in words. A moment that stands out in particular was when I had almost given up on the vision I had for our altar. I had 100% resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t going to happen. But Melissa and Kourtney went above and beyond to make it a reality. The way they brought that vision to life, down to the smallest detail, left me incredibly thankful. And the fact that they loaded everything back into the U-Haul at the end of the night was really an incredible help! Every part of the experience with Melissa and Kourtney was exceptional. Their calm and positive energy was exactly what we needed to counterbalance the inevitable stress of the day. We were even treated to a lovely surprise when they sent us some candid background photos they had taken and a lovely bouquet of our table flowers for both me and my fiancée, as well as our parents. Their willingness to step in and handle any task, from filling vases with stones and sand to troubleshooting last-minute issues, was beyond what we ever expected. These women are true superstars. We initially booked MK for day-of coordination because we didn’t realize how much would fall on us. We found ourselves becoming increasingly overwhelmed with all the tasks—decorating, moving decor, coordinating vendors and family photographers, and so much more. That’s when Melissa and Kourtney stepped in, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Thank you, MK Wedding Coordination, for being the rock that held our wedding together. You made our day not just possible, but perfect.
