    Wonderful Team

    I knew from the moment I got engaged I wanted Bruce and his team to be our photographers. Bruce and Hannah were absolutely wonderful! They captured every moment beautifully. They were so much fun to work with from our engagement photos to the wedding.

    Riverfront Photography's reply:

    Thanks for sharing your positive experience Sarah! Your feedback means a lot to myself and the team. We are delighted to hear we met your expectations.

    Engagement Photo Session

    We booked Riverfront Photography for our wedding on 10/11/2025 and decided to add an engagement photo session. We're so glad we did! Bruce and Paige were fantastic to work with, making us feel completely at ease, and the poses came naturally. We spent an hour capturing stunning shots in some of the most beautiful locations in Cuyahoga Falls. It was important for us to include our dog in the photos, and Bruce was incredibly accommodating with that request. The turnaround time for the photos was impressively quick, and when we received them, we were absolutely amazed! Each photo is gorgeous, showcasing Bruce's exceptional artistic eye for backdrops and his brilliant use of light and contrast. The engagement session has been the highlight of our wedding planning. I highly recommend everyone consider the add-on for engagement photos; it’s not only a fun experience but also gives you options for save-the-dates and creates beautiful artwork for your home. We can't wait to have Riverfront Photography capture our wedding day!

    Amazing 5 stars isn’t enough

    Bruce and his team were amazing. They were so professional. Our limo has no air conditioning and the windows would not role down it had to be 120 degrees in there and Bruce still took amazing photos and never complained once. He road in that limo twice. I also did a Boudoir phot shoot with him and he made me feel completely comfortable, always made sure it was ok to adjust my veil or any garment that needed adjusted and watched how he worded everything to make me feel at ease. I could not say enough about how amazing Bruce and his team is. I would hire them to take photos for any type of event

    Picture Perfect Day!

    We worked with Lindsay for our July 2021 wedding in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. She was an absolute delight! Positive and friendly- you could tell she truly loves taking photos and getting the best possible angle and light. She was responsive to the small details I wanted to make sure were taken, and I was able to send her ahead of time my Pinterest page so she could see some of the shots I liked. One of the big reasons we selected Riverfront, was because they offer unlimited photos and unlimited hours. And they really mean it! Lindsay stayed well over 12 hours and was wonderful every step of the way. She also had a second shooter with her, Hannah, that took all those small detail shots and also stayed until the very end. They were able to send us our photos within 4 weeks turnaround and there were well over 2,000! Amazing! We would definitely recommend Riverfront!

    Excellent Photographer!

    I saw Bruce at a wedding and liked the way he composed the photos. I checked out his website and loved the compositions. We are not a traditional couple - we are senior citizens celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. We don't take ourselves too seriously. Bruce came to our house and took loads of photos - he even got our dog in a couple of shots. The results were fabulous. The compositions and choices of photos were executed with humor and exactly what we wanted. We wanted to document this stage of our lives and Bruce delivered. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was delightful to work with and we really enjoyed our "photo shoot." Call him. You will be glad you did.

    Riverfront Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly my pleasure. I enjoyed spending time with you both. Wishing you health and happiness years to come.

    Taylor, Bride

    Bruce and his team are AMAZING! All of our pictures turned out beautiful. The temperature on the day of the wedding was below freezing but they made sure to get all the pictures we wanted and more. We couldn’t have found a more perfect photographer for our wedding.

    Riverfront Photography's reply:

    Hello Taylor!

    Wow, thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you love your pictures so much. Thank you for inviting us to celebrate your big day, we had a blast!

    All the best,

    Missing photos!!

    So when I met the owner, I was sold! His enthusiasm and energetic personality was so infectious. He made us feel as though we were in good hands. I was able to see a portfolio and look through all sample photos and choose from 3 head photographers. I chose a woman who's pictures SEEMED great and they had a rustic vibe to them. They said make an pinterest page and post photos you like so we can see what you'd like us to take. I didn't get a list, they didn't ask if I wanted anything specific or particular before-hand. Then my husband was in a motorcycle accident and he was in a wheelchair for our wedding. This seemed to intimate the photographers (you get 2 on your big day!) The was no creativity, no moving us around, no close ups, I don't have a single photo with my mother, father, brother (who gave me away-besides even we were walking down the isle) with my flower girl, my sister who flew in from TX and same with my husband and his family. They didn't do photos that I wanted and that I tagged on my page. I forgot to mention it, but do you blame me??? I have enough to think about that day, that's their job! We got over 2000 photos and we were so unhappy wth the outcome. You can't redo that day, you can't go back. I would steer clear of this place.

    Riverfront Photography's reply:

    Hi Megan,

    Like I mentioned when we first discussed you were displeased with our photographer's work last year, we take all feedback very seriously and know there is no way to go back and recreate your wedding day. Even before your wedding, when you informed us about your husband's motorcycle accident, we offered to photograph you, your family and friends again once he was out of his wheelchair at no charge. Last year, when you informed us that you were pleased with one of the photographer's pictures but unhappy with the other, we did everything in our power to make this situation right. Our photographers are trained to capture every moment with every person at your wedding, which is why every package includes two photographers - so we don't miss anything. I did go back through your wedding day pictures and there are photos with your mother, father, brother, sister, etc. However, if you feel as though you are missing photos with certain people, feel free to email me and I'd be happy to re-send them.

    Thank you,
    Bruce Johnson and the Riverfront Photography team

    Great Photographers!

    I can’t say enough great things about Riverfront Photography! From the start, Bruce was extremely helpful. He explained all of the packages to me and helped me choose the best option based on my budget.
    You have two photographers with you the ENTIRE day- and they really mean the whole day! Our photographers were Aeron and Brandon. Both took absolutely amazing photos! I’m so happy with the photos and the amount. We have a total of about 1,200 pictures so really the entire day was captured for us.
    I highly recommend Riverfront Photography, and more specifically, Aeron and Brandon!

    A Dream Come True

    What an absolute dream! We interviewed four different photographers back in December 2017 for our July 2019 wedding, and Bruce sold us within the first five minutes of meeting with him. Picking Bruce and Riverfront Photography was an absolutely phenomenal decision, and our photos came out absolutely flawless!

    Bruce was attentive, responsive, and very caring throughout the entire planning process. He ended up shooting our engagement photos which we thought would be an awkward experience but Bruce made us entirely comfortable and it was a breeze. They came out perfect and we couldn't have expected anything else.

    In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Bruce was very responsive and professional even though I'm sure he was very busy. On the wedding day itself, he and his assistant Lindsey were not only professional, prompt, and courteous, but they also kept things moving. In the pre-wedding photos/formals, I was absolutely clueless as to what poses and locations would work best and Bruce was 100% on top of that. He had some impromptu ideas that ended up turning out absolutely spectacular.

    He and Lindsey both rode the limo bus between the ceremony and the reception, and even took a video on one of our bridesmaid's phones of the group of us enjoying ourselves. Lindsey even ended up in some group shots that we will be able to laugh about forever.

    During the reception, Bruce and Lindsey were catching the best day of our lives; we never even noticed they were there, and the photos turned out beautiful. They truly captured the best moments with absolute perfection, and we are forever grateful for the experience, and the memories created.

    Thank you to Bruce, Lindsey, and the entire Riverfront team for your professionalism, attention to detail, and utmost customer service throughout the entire wedding. You are truly perfect.

    If you are reading this review and you're considering choosing another vendor for your wedding, you are making the wrong decision by not booking Riverfront Photography.

    Exceeded my expectations

    Bruce and his team came recommended by a friend. Right off the bat I loved his flexibility to work with my budget and needs. He was always available via email or TEXT which was convenient. I spoke to Bruce the week of my wedding and he made the process very easy. Bruce and his team exceeded my expectations the day of my wedding. We had 4 photographers throughout the day. Every time I turned around to look for a photographer to capture a picture they were right there but were never an annoyance. I did not even notice them 95% of the time. The best part about is there were no time limits. I did not have to worry about them leaving and missing anything. Riverfront Photography is afforordable, fun, professional and an AMAZING value.

    I would recommend Riverfront to every bride. You would be crazy not to book them.

    Best in Akron

    We were blessed to have Aeron and Bruce photograph our wedding. They were extremely professional and really kept us on schedule throughout the day. We had only talked over the phone before the big day, but everything went perfectly and the pictures turned out beautiful! Thank you guys so much!!!

    I cannot recommend Riverfront Photography enough!!! We had our wedding in January and Bruce and Erin stayed with us all day to give us the most beautiful pictures! The weather ended up being terrible but they stayed positive all day and we still ended up with the most wonderful pictures! I cannot stress enough how much you get for your money too with this company, you get two photographers with no time limits and no location limits, you cannot beat that. Again, my husband and I cannot recommend Riverfront Photography enough!!

    Bruce, the owner of the company, is one of the most sincere people I have ever met. He truly wants your wedding to be one of the best days of your life. I could not have been more happy with the stunning photos he took of my wedding. He has captured memories that I will cherish forever. You can’t go wrong with the quality and professionalism his company provides.

    WOW. That's all I have to say about Riverfront Photography! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    From the start, Bruce was fantastic at planning and laying out our photography plan for our wedding. The day of, he sent two photographers with the girls to get ready - a photographer with the guys while they got ready - a photographer for the church and then at one point, we had 1-3 photographers capturing every moment (big or small) at the reception. They got every angle we could have asked for, every group shot we wanted with all the people we wanted. They were amazing at capturing a ton of candids and all the love that was shared on our special day. They never got in the way of anything, either.

    Bruce was so accommodating. He had several phone conversations with my mom and I, often repeating himself. He answered every question we had going in. He was the optimistic one when it was pouring down rain and I was panicking. He said it would work out fine and sure enough, it did. I was blown away by the photos he took while at our reception.

    I will say this: I didn't realize how much more than a photographer this team ended up being. The women who were there to photograph the girls getting ready and me (the bride) getting my dress on, ran errands for me - helped me unzip things...they acted an extra set of hands.

    I can't say enough good things about this team. They were worth every penny and I would jump at the chance to work with them again!

    My husband and I are extremely happy we booked Riverfront Photography for our wedding. Bruce was the lead photographer and Alyssa was our second photographer. Both of them were very patient and always asked us throughout the night what we wanted pictures of. Bruce was always around and I could just ask him anytime to snap a picture right then and there. He made sure to take all the pictures my husband and I wanted throughout the night. We loved how there were 2 photographers that were taking pictures the entire day and throughout the night. The price was reasonable and we would highly recommend Riverfront Photography!

    Bruce and his team recently shot our daughter's wedding. Bruce has known us since our daughter and his daughter walked into kindergarten as nervous little girls on their first day of school. It seemed only fitting that he be the one to capture this special day. Let me tell you.....he did just that! He was with us at the salon, in the dressing rooms at the church, during the ceremony, and at the reception capturing EVERY single moment. We have absolutely gorgeous photos to go back and remember just how amazing the day was. I would highly recommend Riverfront Photography for all your wedding needs.

    I am so happy we went with Riverfront Photography for our wedding. Bruce and Aeron did an amazing job and were very accommodating to our needs for the day of. Bruce shot the guys getting ready and Aeron was with the girls as we got our hair/makeup done and the getting ready process. They shot a lot of candid photos and did such a good job taking photos of the bridal party and my husband and I in the hour we had between the wedding and reception. `I would highly recommend Riverfront Photography for any special occasion especially your wedding day!

    When I met Bruce, I knew instantly he was a perfect fit for our wedding. Bruce was extremely energetic, enthusiastic and passionate about delivering exactly what we wanted from him one our special day. Bruce answered numerous emails over the course of a year, in a very timely manner. When it came to the week of the event, we had a straight line of communication and expectations before the big day.
    Aeron was our first photographer to arrive. She was extremely professional, on time and all over every detail. These two captured every moment, not only of us and our bridal party, but all of the exciting moments of our guests celebrating right along with us! Thank you Bruce and Aeron for giving us a chance to relive our special day through the photographs that tell the perfect story!
