It is honestly really difficult to put into words what Oona has meant to us throughout this entire process. From the second we reached out, we felt like we were Dragonfly’s only client based on how EXTREMELY well we were treated. It’s hard to convince us that we haven’t known Oona our entire lives. In our wildest dreams we wouldn’t have worked with anyone as great as Dragonfly Photography. Oona and her team are the definition of genuine, and Oona is a phenomenal listener. Not only does she have the biggest heart, but she so deeply cares about each and every couple that Dragonfly takes on. Working with Oona and her team has been an honor.
Beyond the quality of human that Oona (and her team!) are, Dragonfly’s work is absolutely unbelievable. There was literally an unplanned power outage for our entire ceremony (making our venue extremely dark) and Oona (somehow) flawlessly captured it as if there was perfect natural light. Those are some of our favorite photos, and we are super picky when it comes to photography! There is no challenge too large for the Dragonfly team, and that is something we will cherish forever. Not only that, but we had barely woken up the next day before we had already had a sneak peak from Oona in our inbox.
When it came to our wedding budget, our incredible planner, Engaged with Nora, gave us great advice “you leave your wedding day with your spouse and with your photos.”To whoever is reading this - we promise you that Dragonfly is worth every penny, and we promise that you will cherish the quality of these photos, and the memories behind them, for many lifetimes to come.Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Allie, photographing your wedding was a privilege and joy that's hard to put into words. You and your family were such a joy to be around and being invited into your day was something we'll be grateful for for a long time! Beyond thank you for the kind words. We adore you! -

Oona and her team exceeded all expectations throughout our entire process! Starting with engagement photos to planning every detail (wedding planner all the way), creating a vision, understanding what we wanted, and delivering above and beyond! The team was so fun & calming on the wedding day. There was not one part of the wedding they didn’t capture! Not only do we have photographs we will cherish forever but our guests have them too. You would be doing yourself a disservice to not work with them!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Samantha! What a joy working with you and your family! Thank you for the kind words and the opportunity to be a part of your wedding days! :) We love you two! -

Amy G. Sent on 12/20/2021Thoughtful and brilliant photographer!
From our very first phone call with Oona, we knew she was the person to capture all of the moments and emotions of our wedding day. The entire Dragonfly team went above and beyond to not only plan out the details of our day, but to help us think through how we wanted the day to feel so the experience was true to us as a couple. Oona made us feel comfortable and entirely ourselves in front of the camera, which came through in every shot. The Dragonfly Team are not only incredible professionals and masters of their craft, they are just so enjoyable to spend time with and there is no one else we could have imagined hanging out with on our wedding day. If you are looking for someone to capture the feelings and emotions of your wedding, and more importantly to tell the story of your day, look no further than Oona and her team! They are worth every penny and then some - just book them!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Thank you, Amy! Working with you and Chris was such an absolute pleasure! We completely loved your wedding and all the thoughtful touches you put into your day but mostly we loved getting to know the two of you. Thank you for having us! -

Michelle M. Sent on 12/14/2021If you can hire Dragonfly, YOU MUST!!!
I absolutely can't imagine what our wedding day and experience leading up to the day would have been like without Dragonfly Photography. Oona and her team are simply the best and gave us THE BEST advice, recommendations, and helped answer so many questions. They helped us with our timeline, locations, selection of other vendors, etc. And all their advice was SPOT ON. Anything they suggested that I do and I didn't, I WISH I had listened! I knew we were truly working with a special team before we even took our engagement photos. From phone calls to emails to Zooms and in person meetings, the experience you will have working with Dragonfly is seamless and puts them in a league of their own. Oona is not only crazy talented and captures amazing photos, but genuinely cares about her brides and lets you know that she's committed to making your day truly unforgettable. If you're considering hiring Oona and her amazing team, stop looking at anyone else, do yourself a favor, and WORK WITH DRAGONFLY! You absolutely won't regret it!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Michelle! It was beyond an honor to work with you and Andy on your beautiful wedding day and an even bigger honor to count you two now as friends! Thank you for allowing us such a privilege. Your wedding was one that will be a favorite for years to come! -

The BEST choice for your most special day.
What else is there to say that hasn't already been said? Oona and her team are just magical at what they do. From beginning to end, the care that is given is out of this world. The communication does not stop through the entire planning process, all the way to the wedding day, and beyond.
Not only does she make it easy to plan, she also truly helps facilitates the big day. I did not have a day-of coordinator, and she helped to make sure things happened in a timely fashion, but never EVER pushed anyone into an uncomfortable time period. I would recommend Dragonfly for any photography services needed, and would have them by my side again and again if I could re-do my wonderful wedding day. THANK YOU OONA!!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Thank you Cassie!! Working with you and Marc was an absolute dream! It was so obvious how loved you are by your friends and family and after knowing you for about a minute it's so easy to understand why. What a privilege to stand with the two of you on such an important day. Thank you for having us! -

Unique L. Sent on 08/23/2021The Best Wedding Photographers in The World
The absolute best! Oona and her team are not just the best in Cleveland, they’re the best Periodt! Their attention to detail, ability to read the room and willingness to go above and beyond is unmatched. Oona literally became my husband and I’s second family members. She not only made our wedding pictures beautiful but our wedding day beautiful as she took on the role of coordinator when things went awry. Her skill is obviously unmatched but the silver lining of Oona is her heart. We love Dragonfly Photo and you are honestly playing yourself if you book with ANYONE else!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Unique!! Serving you and Marcus was SUCH a pleasure. I know the whole team is so beyond grateful when we have couples as amazing as the two of you. Your Gervasi Vineyard wedding was timeless and stunning but the thing that stood out more than anything was the love the two of you share, not only for each other but for your friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives! -

Ryan L. Sent on 12/03/2021We LOVE our photos!!!
Selecting Dragonfly Photography for our wedding day was a no brainer. I immediately connected with Oona, the photographer. She's very hands on and calming and understands the craziness and stress of planning a wedding. Not to mention, her work is incredible! While I didn't cry on our wedding day, I did however cry when I saw my wedding album! The images are beautiful and the colors she captures are insane! Her images are truly a work of art. It's no wonder she wins all those awards. We had a great experience working with Dragonfly. I'd recommend them x1000!
Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Ryan!! What an absolute joy it has been to get to know you over this past year! I can't thank you enough for such kind words. Seeing you and Peter see your album for the first time was a huge highlight for me and I'm so thrilled you'll be able to look at it year after year to remember such an important moment in your lives! -

Extremely supportive experience
Oona is one of the most kind-hearted humans out there. We had our wedding during the pandemic and I can truly say we wouldn’t have been able to do it without Oona. Oona was so supportive, informative, helpful, detail oriented, kind, the list goes on and on. One night we had a three hour zoom call as she helped us navigate finalizing our wedding album and Oona didn’t bat an eye at helping us. The whole Dragonfly team goes above and beyond with everything. Add the stunning images to it all and I can promise you, you won’t regret working with them.Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Hanna! What an absolute joy to work with you and Patrick on your amazing day. You faced such challenges as you planned but handled every one of them with grace and our whole team was so grateful to be alongside helping and cheering you both on. You were an absolute vision on your wedding day and your kind words mean the world to me! -

Caitlin M. Sent on 10/27/2020Nothing short of AMAZING
Let me first start by saying you will NEVER be let down by this team. Oona and her team have perfected the art of not only photography, but keeping lines of communication flowing from the minute you introduce yourself to even weeks after your event (in my case my wedding day). This team is professional, prompt, transparent, and down right fun to work with. If you were ever hesitant to get professional photos done then Oona is for you, she made my husband and I feel at home out in a field of apples, and in the middle of the woods. She was there every step of the way throughout the wedding planning process and really gave amazing guidance and input especially during a pandemic ! She has your interests and concerns always at the forefront of what she does and you truly become “besties” through the process. If you are looking for timeless, beautiful, and spectacular photos and want to do it with someone who makes you feel confident, comfortable, and will 99.9% of the time make you laugh and have fun, then Dragonfly Photography is absolutely the perfect fit for you.Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Caitlin!! You are so awesome! Getting to know you and David over this last year and a half has been an absolute joy and walking with you through a NOT so easy planning process (hey 2020) has literally been a dream. You both are EXACTLY the kind of couples we love working with: kind, thoughtful, caring, and madly in love with each other. :) THANK YOU for allowing us to be a part of something so beautiful! -

Sydney R. Sent on 08/14/2019Royal treatment experience!
Where do I begin? My (now) husband and I own a high-end, custom menswear company so we work with photographers on a daily basis and Oona at Dragonfly Photography is BY FAR the most talented, professional, skillful artist that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. She had the most up to date technology, found the most creative spots to shoot and knew how to depict our brand and personas PERFECTLY!!! I felt like I had the pleasure of a photographer, creative director, pose specialist and brand manager in one person working with Oona. The Dragonfly Photography team honestly is worth EVERY penny and then some. If you have the honor of getting to shoot with them, you better take it! You will be more than over the moon with the priceless content you will receive and the entire process will be so smooth that it feels like a vacation being in their presence.Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Sydney! WHAT a joy you and Brandon are. I absolutely adore the two of you and your words seriously just made my day. When I have the pleasure of working with people like YOU, it makes my job so beyond easy. Such love! -

Rebekah Sent on 01/23/2019Absolutely awesome!
Oona and her team are the absolute best. She and her team were all in from day one--helping to soothe fears, figure out amazing shoot locations, staying calm supportive, helpful (you know how weddings can be!). They were the best. Oh--and they took the most incredible pictures ever. It was absolutely pouring rain and super dreary on the day of the wedding, but from the pictures you wouldn't have known a thing. I think that's what separates them from your run of the mill Facebook marketplace photographers. Some companies are dependent on the weather, Dragonfly and their team make the pictures art regardless of what's going on outside. By the end of the process you feel like they are your best friends. We felt so loved and cared for and understood. Thanks Oona and crew. You are our favorites.Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Awe THANK YOU Rebekah! It was such a joy to be a part of such a special day! The rain held nothing on such a great time of family and friend and SUCH a beautiful bride. We were grateful to be able to be a part of such a wonderful moment. -

Becomes a Friend
Oona was amazing from start to finish. We weren’t local to her but she made a point to have video dates with us just to get to know us and to figure out our vision. Day of she knew the flow of the wedding (because she actually helped us figure it out) and so didn’t have to ask where and when she needed to be places...she was just THERE! She got the shots we asked for and ones we didn’t know we wanted! She was never “in the way” of a moment, but caught all of them. Our photos are amazing. And after the ordering process was easy. Would always recommend. Fun. Personable. professional. Funny. Knowledgeable. Helpful. Becomes a friend and not just a photographer, because who wants strangers at their wedding?Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Ahhh! Mackenzie! What a joy you are! It was such an absolute pleasure to be a small part in such a beautiful day. You were the most joy-filled bride in the middle of a literal hurricane you never for a moment forgot what was important and your day was stunning as a result. Thank you for the kind words, we all adore you!! -

Rachel V. Sent on 12/23/2018Gorgeous photos and magical experience with Oona of Dragonfly!
My husband and I eloped three years ago and never had “real” photos taken together. We did an evening session in the fall with Oona of Dragonfly Photo and we couldn’t be happier with the photos and our entire experience.
I work in the commercial photo industry and oddly enough - normally feel super awkward in front of the camera. But Oona made me feel so comfortable, we were laughing and cracking jokes and she’d snap the pictures right at the perfect time. She made us feel so relaxed, and she went above and beyond to get some amazing shots.
It’s easy to get trapped in the everyday, but we are so incredibly happy that we paused to have portraits done by Oona. The photos she did are so special to us!
Dragonfly thank you for giving us the wedding photos we never had!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
It was SUCH a pleasure to get to know you and Peter even more! You two are a delight and I'm so thrilled you loved your images as much as we did! -

Anna Sent on 09/07/2021Dream Photographers, Top-Notch Experience
Dragonfly Photography was a dream to work with from start to finish. Finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was at the very top of our priority list when our wedding planning began. We had a vision for stunning, timeless images in mind, but more than that, we wanted to find someone who we’d think of as a friend (after all, they'd be spending the majority of our special day with us and capturing intimate moments shared otherwise, just between us). After weeks of researching so many Cleveland wedding photographers, just a few minutes into speaking with Oona, the lead photographer at Dragonfly, we knew right away that she was the perfect person 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 in sharing our ideas with her. It's clear she has such an incredible eye, but yet she still took the time to understand how we envisioned our wedding day photos.
Throughout the planning process, she worked side-by-side with our wedding planner, venue, and our other vendors behind the scenes to ensure every base was covered. During the months leading up to our wedding, she sent reminders, items to pack, timeline suggestions and genuine messages of excitement for Mike and I over the course of the planning process. It was truly a top-notch experience and made being a bride SO easy.
During our engagement session and on the wedding day itself, everything was beautifully and artfully captured, and getting our pictures taken felt so easy and fun with them. We got married at The Westin Cleveland downtown, and our family and guests were in complete awe of their professionalism and expertise as they navigated around the wedding day so seamlessly and subtly, but somehow were still there to capture every special moment.
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 then some, and my husband and I couldn’t 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!Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Merideth! It was an absolute DREAM to serve you as your wedding photographers. You and Mike could not have been more delightful to work with and your wedding was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Thank you for such kind words, they mean so much to all of us, but especially to me. I cannot tell you what it means to me that you had such a wonderful experience, it's exactly what we aim at, and I'm so beyond thrilled that you felt we achieved it so well. Thank you for your wholehearted trust, and allowing us do our job so easily. You are truly the kind of people we love being around! Vow renewal in 10 years?? ;) -

Highly Recommend!
Dragonfly was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Oona was wonderful from the word go. She is very professional and organized. She will make sure she gets to know you as a couple including meet ups and a very fun engagement photo shoot. She made us feel very heard regarding our vision for the day and even encouraged us to keep our focus on our day and the things that matter the most to us. When Ooona and her team (shout-out to Ali and Greg!) arrived on the day of it felt so good to have her energy and order enter the room. And when we were inevitably running late, they were very thoughtful in finding a way to get the pictures we wanted while still making up time. During our ceremony and reception they were present without being intrusive. It was wonderful and I couldn't help but hug them at the end of the night. I have been showing our preliminary pictures to any one and every one because they are just so gorgeous. We can't wait to see the final! Much love to Dragonfly Photography, we would definitely choose them all over again.Dragonfly Photography's reply:
Ahh!! Arielle!! We love you and your beautiful bride! Thank you for having us with you for such a gorgeous celebration! You two are friends for life! -
