Best wedding planning decision!!
Katrina and Mark are amazing!!! My bridal party couldn't stop raving about how fun they were to be around- even joking that Katrina should be in the wedding. They took countless amazing photos- capturing candids that reflected the fun we had throughout the day & small moments I never want to forget with my husband. My family remarked how happy they were to have candid moments of all our favorite people from that day.
Katrina also does an excellent job of making you feel comfortable while taking gorgeous posed photos. I worried that I would feel awkward and unnatural and she proved that was not the case right away. I felt comfortable to be myself & so did my husband. She's the ultimate hype woman you need on your wedding day. The photos blew us away and we will forever have unique and artistic photos of that day!!
Along the way she went above and beyond communicating with me & even giving advice about timeline and wedding day tips. Booking her and her team was the best vendor decision we made in the wedding planning process!The Kubicinas's reply:
Thank you so much for the beautiful review Mackenzie it means so much to us!! We loved being there for your day it was perfect! -

Our experience with Love Is All You Need was more than amazing. We previously had our engagement session with Katrina and Mark and we had a great time. When we were finished I was glued to my phone just waiting for a sneak peak of our photos. Katrina did not disappoint, within an hour we received the most amazing drone photo. Katrina and Mark was recommended by a family friend and I could not be more thankful of her for the recommendation. I cannot wait for the team of Love Is All You Need to capture our wedding day! -

Beyond Amazing!
Katrina is an Allstar!!! She went out of her way to FaceTime me several times before the big event to help make sure everything went well. I couldn't have pulled off my surprise proposal without her. The photos we got are amazing. Our family has already blown up some of them and gotten them printed for us as gifts. I can't wait to shoot with her again. HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend. -

Nick Sent on 12/22/2021The second best decision of this Wedding Day
Katrina and Mark could NOT have been better to work with. From our engagement shoot, to prepping for our big day to driving us around downtown Cleveland to get the perfect last shot on our wedding night, they were an immense pleasure to work with. When I say they will do what needs to be done to get the perfect shot, I mean it! Our photo album was spectacular, our wedding video (as one lady at my works puts it) was "Cinema Quality" and the ability to re-live each moment of that day just put the cherry on top. If you can use Love Is All You Need for every aspect of your wedding... DO IT! You will NOT be disappointed! I cannot recommend them enough, and words alone do not begin to express how much we loved working with their whole team. Don't just take my word, take some time and look at their work, it'll speak for itself. -

Best photographers in NEO!
Hands down the best decision we made was hiring Love Is All You Need Photography for our day. Katrina and Mark are the best duo out there. Our wedding photos are the most stunning photos I have ever seen and are timeless. We can’t stop looking at our photos and we have received TONS of compliments on our wedding photos. We also received dozens and dozens of compliments on the wedding day about Katrina and Mark. Look no further for your photographers. I promise you won’t regret hiring them.The Kubicinas's reply:
Thank you so much Nicole!! That means the world to us. So happy to have met you both. Your day was beautiful and we had a blast with your awesome families!! -

My husband, Eric, and I had the pleasure of working with Katrina and Mark for our engagement photo session and the whole LIAYN team again on our wedding day. If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you I'm a pretty particular person. I believe I initially found LIAYN through the Knot. Once I visited their website and started looking through their work, I was really impressed. The quality of their photos and videos blew any other photographers I was considering out of the water. I'm not sure how long our first phone call was, but it genuinely felt like I was reconnecting with an old friend. The vision I had for our big day aligned perfectly with what Katrina described and I could instantly tell she loved what she did. We first met Katrina and Mark in person during our engagement photo session. Eric and I are both naturally anxious people, but Katrina really has a special way of making you forget about the cameras and focusing on either her or your spouse all while creating an environment you want to be in. I remember the sunflower field had died and the sky was pretty foggy from the wildfires out west the day we scheduled our engagement pictures. Not a problem with Katrina and Mark. They actually brainstormed with us on the spot to select location alternatives to make the best out of our session. They did that and then some! As if planning a wedding throughout a global pandemic wasn't stressful enough, my dad ended up having three stents placed in one of his major arteries two weeks before our wedding. Jake from the LIAYN team was kind enough to put together a special mashup for our father daughter dance and gracious enough to fall back on plan B once we found out about his health. Both Katrina and Jake were wonderful when it came to discussing details closer to the big day when I was certain I was going to lose my mind. They really put me at ease during an extremely stressful time in my life. Jake is the only man you want hosting your reception too! He got all of our guests so hyped and the one time I did get on the dance floor, I remember not wanting to ever leave. He's equally talented at what he does. Another thing Eric and I were anxious about was getting all of our photos done in a timely manner before our reception. Never had to worry with the LIAYN team. We not only got THE most gorgeous shots, but we had a blast while doing it! It felt like a mini celebration before the actual celebration with our friends and family. The drone footage Ryan captured for our highlight video was next level and Katrina proved there is absolutely no limitations in the name of the shot. She climbed on top of ledges, Mark's shoulders, and even squawked at seagulls in the middle of the Ashtabula harbor to get that perfect angle or enhance our background. It's not just what they do, but how they do it that make them a dream to work with. The one thing that truly touched me about LIAYN I didn't even discover until weeks later. A live photo my MOH captured of my dad and I during our dance, you can see Katrina wiping tears away from her face. I don't think I've EVER seen a photographer cry while shooting a wedding. They become part of your family and looking back, I can't imagine anyone else capturing our love. We highly recommend LIAYN for all of your photography and videography needs. You won't be disappointed, I promise. -

Katrina and Mark are the most genuine and sincere people ever. They are so incredibly prepared for every situation that may arise and knowledgeable in their field. From the moment we inquired to them, they had been extremely responsive and friendly. We met with them in their beautiful and professional studio. They immediately made us feel at home and welcome. It was an easy choice from that minute forward and I have never been more thankful to have them on our vendor team. We set up our engagement photoshoot and while the weather was not super cooperative they were quick to come up with ideas to make the most of it. The engagement photos came out amazing. They were everything I could have asked for and more! Leading up to the wedding Katrina was available at all times to answer my questions and reassure me of things that I already knew. She was always there to listen and give input no matter how crazy or unrelated the conversation was. She was my saving grace and kept me calm cool and collective all day and the entire time leading up to the wedding. Katrina cares so much for her brides and will do anything to ensure the day goes by smoothly and that it is the most amazing day each and every time. She has the best ideas and is always willing to get the shot no matter how difficult it may be. Hiring Katrina and Mark was more than just hiring a vendor for a wedding, we were hiring a couple that we will be friends with for many many years to come. They are remarkable at their job, but even more remarkable people inside and out. I will continue to use them for every single photography session I need and there is no reason anyone should need to look further. With Katrina and Mark and all the Love is All You Need Crew you cannot go wrong. Hiring these 2, you are hiring a partnership beyond compare and they will do anything and everything for you and for everyone involved in your special day. Love this couple more than anything and I am honored to have them as a huge part of our special day. -

As a film graduate, I was very picky about who I wanted to capture our big day and who I felt was above average. Love Is All You Need was the only photography/videography service around that I felt filled those shoes. Katrina and Mark did not disappoint! They were responsive, kind, and professional. Katrina was honestly like a wedding coordinator, as well! We also had Ryan as our videographer, whose videos turned out like movie quality! We only wish we would have hired them before we had our DJ because we would have loved to have the whole team! We love our pictures and are recommending them to anyone we know who are getting married! -

Fantastic Team!
LIAYN was not the original photographer that we contracted for our daughter's wedding but after having to change the date twice due to Covid, the original one was not available. We were in a bit of a panic, but from the minute we spoke with Katrina she had us feeling completely at ease. She was professional, very knowledgeable, and had great ideas and suggestions. She was extremely responsive and flexible. Katrina and her team were truly delightful to work with! And best of all, we were thrilled with the final results! The photos captured every moment of our daughter's special day! I would recommend LIAYN without hesitation! -

A Super Fun Experience
Katrina and Mark are amazing at what they do! They took both posed pictures and candids, and were awesome at coming up with interesting ideas on the fly. We ran around Cleveland to a number of different locations and they were up for the challenge. On top of their talent, they were so much fun to work with, and with only 15 people at our small wedding they felt like part of the family. -

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Love Is All You Need Photography! Professional, detailed, creative, responsive are just a few ways to describe them! They went above and beyond for my wedding by helping to surprise us with a small wedding cake to cut so I could still have the experience of the tradition (we had a very small microwedding). I’m so thankful to have the incredible photos to help us remember one of the happiest days of our lives. -

Incredible photos, wonderful people!
I cannot say enough kind and wonderful things about Katrina and Mark! They are seriously the most awesome photographers and all-around good people.
Let’s start from the beginning. My husband (!), Matt, and I hired Katrina and Mark on a whim after reading their stellar reviews and after I saw a video someone had posted of Katrina clambering onto Mark’s shoulders to get the perfect shot of a bridal party. We hired them under the assumption that if they’re that willing to go to such lengths to get a good shot, then we needed to have them for our big day. They didn’t disappoint!
We first met Katrina and Mark for our engagement photos. Matt and I are awkward when we pose for any kind of photography but they kept it nice and loose, a friendly environment so that we could get the photos we wanted and some we weren’t anticipating. Katrina was the main shooter taking the “posed” shots while Mark took the more “candid” photos. With the instructions of, “Just focus on me and ignore Mark,” we laughed and beamed our way through our engagement shoot. They were full of ideas, embraced our thoughts for shots, and encouraged us to be ourselves. And the photos! The photos came out fantastic! They sent us a preview of some of our photos within a day and a preview of more to come within a week. We received all of our photos within three or four weeks. They were a mix of black-and-white and color shots, many of them we weren’t expecting because of the candid shots that Mark was taking. They captured our joy and our happiness in our engagement, made the shots true to us, and made the process fun.
Now, caveat...we haven’t received all of our wedding photos back yet because it was this past weekend. But, we have received some previews and my goodness they are stunning! The whole day-of was complicated by COVID-19, so masks and social distancing came into play, but Katrina and Mark didn’t let that deter them. As with the engagement shoot, Katrina took the “posed” photos and Mark took the “candid” shots. I’m looking forward to getting our full wedding album so that we can look back and see things that we missed in the whirlwind that was our wedding day. It really does fly by!
You can hire any photographer but Katrina and Mark will go above and beyond simply because that’s who they are as people, and their care transfers and shines through in their work. When they weren’t taking photos (and they were almost always taking photos), they were checking to make sure we had enough to eat and drink. Katrina ran up to us towards the end of the night to let us know that our mini bundt cakes were almost out, and did we want her to set aside one of each flavor for us to take home later? They are genuinely kind and thoughtful people who only enhanced our day and I recommend them wholeheartedly. -

To whoever is reading this review, Love is All You Need is an incredible team. They not only work well together but also work well with other vendors and with their clients. We hired Katrina for our engagement photos, they were wonderful! She made sure to get every scenic shot perfectly! She created a phenomenally personal experience with us. She was creative and organized! We aren’t the best at taking photos but she posed us and worked with us. She guided us through everything, she was patient and kind. We knew we would have an extraordinary wedding day with her. Our wedding followed over a year after that engagement photoshoot and she stayed in touch the whole time continuing that personable experience. She is friendly and truly cares about her work and clients, and this goes for her entire team! We had Jake officiate our wedding and DJ the reception, he is a great speaker and our guests loved our ceremony. He worked with us on planning and coordinating our event too! Absolutely above and beyond! When the power went out at our reception Jake didn’t give up, he stuck around even though he couldn’t play music. And Katrina played music on her phone and got the crowd singing! It was an awesome experience. Not only did they guide us through our day and help us coordinate but they made sure things went smoothly and always lended a helping hand. Ryan was our videographer on wedding day, somehow he was everywhere! He did an amazing job always being in motion to get all of the action recorded. We are so excited to see the final product. And then there was also Katrina’s husband Mark, they make an awesome team. He was able to capture a lot of the candid moments we may have missed so we are super thankful to have had him there! He and Katrina worked together to set up the perfect place to be standing with the right lighting and most intriguing scenery. There were a lot of things that didn’t go as planned on wedding day, but The Love is All You Need team made our day absolute perfection! They are so creative and ready to help do anything that is needed! They even moved our cake table during the cake cutting ceremony so everyone could see, even though they were holding all of their equipment. Truly great positive people with excellent talents, fully dedicated and passionate about what they do. Yes, love may be all you need on wedding day but having this team with you will certainly make the day even better!The Kubicinas's reply:
