Best Wedding Investment.

I am looking through our wedding photos that Brian took on June 20th, 2024, to select the best ones for my mother's new digital frame. I still can't believe how amazing they are, and how much I love them. I never like photos of myself, and somehow, he captured over 400 photos that I adore. Hands down hiring Brian + Joelle Photography was the most worth it investment we made for our wedding. Brian gave wonderful direction to capture photos we will cherish for a lifetime, and we felt totally at ease in the process. If you want gorgeous photos, even if you don't consider yourself to be photogenic, hire Brian + Joelle Photography - you will not be disappointed!

They will take you on an adventure!

Brian and Joelle made our an adventure! We walked through a river to a waterfall for our engagement photos and climbed rocks in the national park for our first look. We went through more than 800 photos from the wedding and couldn't find one that wasn't memorable. If you are looking to make your wedding special, Brian and Joelle will make that happen.

Absolutely Exceptional!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Brian + Joelle Photography for our wedding. From the moment we met, Brian brought a calming presence, incredible professionalism, and a genuine passion for capturing love stories.

On the big day, they blended seamlessly into the celebration—never intrusive, always present, and somehow everywhere at once. The photos are nothing short of magical. Every emotion, every detail, every laugh and tear was beautifully documented. We’ve had countless friends and family comment on how stunning the images are.

Beyond the photos, they were a joy to work with—responsive, organized, and thoughtful. Brian + Joelle even helped us feel relaxed during portraits, turning what could have been a stressful moment into one of our favorite memories.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with the care and creativity it deserves, look no further. Brian + Joelle Photography is a true artist and professional. We are forever grateful!

Amazing Experience

Brian and Joelle are amazing photographers and people to work with! They really understand the meaning of your wedding day and are there not just to capture pictures but to also make sure the day goes smoothly for the bride/groom. They helped create a realistic and great timeline, captured every moment throughout the day, and assisted the bride/groom with anything they could have needed. They are very experienced and have their method to getting as many pictures as possible without taking a lot of time out of the day. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer 10 out of 10 times!! They are very professional, considerate, and organized. Pictures came back SO fast as well.

Absolutely recommend Brian + Joelle!

Brian and Joelle were an absolute joy to work with from our first meet and greet to receiving our final gallery! As soon as we booked, they shared their Wedding Guide which had so many incredibly helpful details, including how to plan other details of our day to run as smoothly as possible. Their support in designing our day-of timeline and their knowledge of Cuyahoga Valley National Park took so much stress off of us, and the guide made it so much easier to lock in other small details with confidence. They were incredibly easy to communicate with and prompt whenever we had questions.
Brian was very accommodating of our schedules to make time for our engagement photo session near the holidays and we absolutely loved how the photos came out!
On our wedding day, they were prompt, kept us on time, and they fit in so naturally that several guests assumed they were friends. We absolutely LOVE the photos they captured, including the natural beauty of the park, our couples portraits, and candid moments throughout the day.
Brian and Joelle sent the finalized photos exactly when we expected them, Brian patiently helped us design our keepsake album!

Hire them TODAY

Brian and Joelle are incrediable. Not only are our photos stunning, they are just amazing to work with. Brian is creative and direct, and Joelle just gets the bride and what is needed at the moment. They anticipate your needs and truly care about you having the best experience with the photos and just simply on the day. They are both professional and efficient and take control when your family and wedding party have other "plans":) They are direct, but loving in their direction and the outcomes are truly beautiful. I would hire them again and again!

Incredible and Worth the Cost!

I could literally talk for hours about how incredible Brian was for our wedding. The biggest part for me is that he made me feel comfortable in myself in front of the camera (which is no small feat). The photos, video, everything, was just perfect. 100% worth the money because you truly get what you pay for and that is impeccable service, a fun experience, and stunning photos!

Amazing experience.

Brian and Joelle are the best! We fell in love with the pictures the moment we saw their previous work. At that time my fiancé and I were just exploring the idea of having an intimate wedding with only immediate family somewhere scenic and close to home, and then we stumbled upon a blog by Brian of this beautiful elopement in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We immediately decided to reach out and after a brief call we knew we want Brian and Joelle to be our intimate wedding/elopement photographer. It was so easy working with them, Brian was able to guide us every step of the way. And the final pictures were just breathtaking. He totally captured the day and the moments so beautifully. Thank you Brian + Joelle!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
