    The BEST Photographer Ever

    I have nothing but positive things to say about Dragonfly Photography! Oona and her team did an exceptional job from start to finish. They worked with us every step of the way and were very responsive and communicative. They worked on a very detailed timeline and family portrait list - I was very happy with the outcomes of both. Their team listens exceptionally well and followed exactly what we wanted or didn’t want. Oona went above and beyond by coming to Chicago for our engagement photos and sending us little gifts throughout our engagement that made us feel very special. She is not only a photographer but your very own personal hype woman and motivational speaker. She and the team treated us with nothing but kindness and respect. Her entire photography team made our wedding day go so smoothly. They also got our sneak peek photos back to us in the quickest timing I’ve ever seen. If I could go back, I would marry Oona (only kidding….)

    My husband was a little weary of the cost but after the wedding, he was so glad we went with Dragonfly Photography because of how much passion and work they put into our wedding day and throughout the entire process. We got so many compliments on them throughout the day and on their work. The photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day look phenomenal and we are so excited to get the rest of them! After my first interaction with Oona, I had no doubt she would do a phenomenal job. We will absolutely be using them in the future! We love Dragonfly!!!

    Speechless

    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.

    Truly magic!

    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!

    Simply perfect!

    I cannot say enough good things about Oona and the Dragonfly Photography team! Not only are you guaranteed to get beautiful, breath taking photos of the moments that matter the most on your wedding day, you will have a team of people that feel like friends! Not only did Oona and the rest of the Dragonfly team make getting in front of the camera feel easy and natural (which is something both my husband and I never thought we would be able to feel) but they truly care about you and your wedding. They take the time to really get to know you as a couple. Through the entire planning process, they were there to answer questions, connect us with any other vendors we were having trouble finding, and create a timeline perfect for our day. Once all of the photos from the wedding are ready for us, we get to sit down with Oona and see the stunning photos and moments she captured so it is something so exciting for us to look forward to even after the wedding is over!Dragonfly Photography is so knowledgable on all things wedding! I truly believe my wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without their help. Both my husband and I are amazed by Dragonfly and how easy they made the picture taking process. Instead of dreading photos being taken, we were so excited!

    Thoughtful 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!

    If 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!

    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!!

    The 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!

    We 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!

    Pure Excellence

    Where do I begin? Oona has been working with couples for years, but until you are actually one of her couples- you will never understand the amount of love she puts into her work. The dedication, the amount of Heaven and Earth moving she does to make her couple's dreams come true. All for some pretty beautiful images (I mean, do you follow her social media??). The pure talent is surreal!!
    She will hype you up, remind you that you are about to marry the love of your life, make you feel comfortable, and remind you that you are truly the star of the show... all the time! From our first meeting to engagement photos, to the day of our wedding, she has been nothing short of that bff that wants to make sure every single one of your ideas becomes a reality. If she asks if you want recommendations, TAKE THEM- florist, videographer, hair, makeup, venue, she knows the best of the best and strives to give you that.
    Thank you Oona for being so dedicated to making dreams come true, and giving us timeless memories.... even during a pandemic, that changed all of our plans to a private 7/25/2020 elopement, she didn't fail to impress.
    You have documented the biggest day of our lives, and for that we could never say "thank you" enough.
    100% will be recommending you to everyone! Thank again!

    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.

    Nothing 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.

    Royal 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.

    Absolutely 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.

    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?

    If you are looking for adventure, creativity and a photographer that is always down for something crazy and unique, Oona is your girl. The idea to trapes through the woods (on a mountain biking trail) in a wedding gown and get photos that felt like I was not in South Florida seemed a little crazy and out of reach, yet when I met with Oona, she was immediately on board and beyond excited about creating something different, yet elegant and beautiful. I knew when I met Oona she was going to be a perfect fit for what I wanted and by the end of meeting with her, I felt like I had met my new best friend. Oona’s love for life and photography oozes out of her. Her excitement over my ideas, were as if it was her own wedding day. Oona is just the kind of person that you want to share your stories, dreams and wishes … .. .. and I encourage you to do so, because she takes all your information and captures that magic behind the lens. As we scouted the location and hiked in circles, Oona had me cracking up. She will also have you laughing so hard, between demonstrating her amazing light sabor skills, balancing the umbrella and her commentary on what is happening, you will be hard pressed not to want to be her best friend. Thank you Oona, you are the JAM and I love you so much. Thank you for making my dreams come true through your gift of photography!!!

    Gorgeous 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!

    Dream 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!

    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.
