Awarded Best of Zola
Meg and Jj were photographers for our wedding and we can honestly say if they were not vendors they would have ended up on our guest list! We found Megnolia Photos about a year out from our wedding and each time we met with Megan and Jj , they were so enthusiastic about the event, the requests we made, the details of the day, and EVERYTHING else. From multiple FaceTime calls to discuss our vision, to creating Pinterest mood boards together for our wedding Megan and Jj continued to show how passionate they were about photography and capturing the timeless moments from our special day. Throughout the wedding day, guest would even come up to us constantly to complement the professionalism, skill, and engagement Megan and Jj had the entire day! The 150 guest who attended our wedding and my Husband and I have nothing but the best things to say about our experience with these two. Once receiving our sneak peak photos and our full gallery, we were both brought to tears from seeing how every moment was captured beautifully - happiness and joy could be seen in every photograph. We are now almost at the 5 month mark from our event and I cry every time I look at our gallery because of this. Megnolia Photos is a full on 6/5 star vendor to work with, as both Megan and Jj are definitely vendors turned friends to us. I will forever be a cheerleader to their business. BOOK THEM!!

We can accommodate 250 at The Barn.

Awarded Best of Zola
I want to start by saying I was not at all looking for a “barn” or a “rustic” place to get married. The Barn at Walnut Creek is so much more though... the space is so versatile that you can really make it more modern inside, or stick with a rustic vibe. It’s such a beautiful venue, so we were excited when we found out how reasonable the pricing is—much lower than some of the other upscale venues in the area. The bridal suite was amazing to use on the day of the wedding! The bar space was perfect, and the restrooms are really nice too. All of our guests loved the space and had a great experience overall! The owner was wonderful to work with—she was so helpful throughout the entire planning process! I recommend this venue highly!

The Barn at Honey Blossom Orchard is over 100 years old and is comprised of hand hewn beams throughout. It is very rustic but has many modern conveniences. It is the perfect backdrop for your perfect day and we are excited to share it with you and your loved ones.

One day last July I saw online that The Barn had a cancellation and a wedding date in September. I reached out to inquire and Laura was SO kind, helpful and prompt with communication. We loved the venue and booked, sent out invitations and planned our wedding super quickly (after 10 years together.) Every step of the way went smoothly with planning and communication and we absolutely LOVED having our wedding there. We had room for a live band, there was plenty of parking, lots of great places for photo ops on the property, a lovely bridal room to get ready in, a silo gazebo, we could choose our own caterer, there plenty of seating (we loved the church pews and the wooden chairs,) and there were just so many other nice touches. We bought small glass jars which they filled with their honey (for a reasonable fee) and we gave our guests Honey Blossom Orchard honey as the wedding reception favor. (Btw-their honey IS absolutely delicious!) We can’t say enough good about The Barn as a wedding/reception venue and if you are looking for somewhere relaxed, rustic and beautiful to have your wedding, this is your place:)

My name is Alyssa, I am the owner and photographer of VanDee Photo, I am located in Northwest Ohio but travel just about anywhere! I love Michigan and hope to photograph more weddings there! I am 24 and am a mom of 3, wife, and plenty of pets to love on. My love for photography has existed for as long as I can remember but my grandpas have really pushed me to create a business with my passion. VanDee Photo was officially created in 2021, but I have been photographing since 2016! I am mostly photographing weddings these days, maybe yours will next!

VanDee Photos was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Having worked with VanDee before, I knew her thorough, kind, and appreciative communication style would make wedding planning a breeze. She kept us informed about every step of the process. On our big day, VanDee captured the excitement and energy perfectly. Her fun, enticing shots highlight special moments from the ceremony and reception that we'll treasure forever. VanDee is talented at photography in any setting - from posed family portraits to candid dance floor antics. Her skill shone through in the final album, where she preserved the raw emotion and joy we felt. I'd enthusiastically recommend VanDee to any couple looking to relive their magical moments through vibrant, energetic wedding photography.

I'm Julia - a traveling wedding and elopement photographer based in Northwest Ohio. You deserve to have your story told in an organic way. The problem many of us face (myself included) is that so many of us find it difficult to step in front of a camera. One of my biggest passions is relieving people of that anxiety. I will get to know you for YOU, and then I'll capture it in a way that you won't even notice I have a camera in my hand. This will probably involve some craft beer, or (let's be honest), a shot of tequila. But, I'll also lead you through a series of prompts and guide you through every single step.

Julia is absolutely divine. I truly cannot brag on her enough—the energy she produces from the first email, to the minute she walks in the door; honestly, BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY. Do not second guess yourself for a single second! My husband and I are not selfie/picture takers and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Julia managed to grab pictures that made me tear up because I had to stop and think, “when the heck did she take that? Where was she hiding to grab that moment?!” The best part— you cannot help but gain a lifelong friend in the process. Her professionalism, warmness, and ability to make everyone feel beautiful in every picture is untouchable

Something Borrowed Blooms

  • Florist
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Defiance, OH

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Just rent the flowers y’all - after getting multiple thousands of dollars in quotes from florists for our tiny dinner party wedding I started to look for other options. SSB had great reviews, in person or zoom consultations and a VERY helpful FB group that helped me pull the trigger even being pretty skeptical that the quality wouldn’t be there. Fast forward to the day I unboxed them and I was floored, some of the petals even FEEL REAL. Don’t know how they do it. Shipping was easy, fast and return labels were in sticker form to just pop back on. Our guests had no idea they weren’t real, especially with our low light reception it was impossible to tell. It was a breezed - we spent about 450 for 9 large centerpieces, bouquet and a few boutonnières for the guys from the Marlowe collection rather than the 2-3k quite well we’re getting from florists here in Atlanta that at the end of the day aren’t sustainable and would have looked the same (at best). Just rent the flowers y’all.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get.

By the time she was three years old, Olivia Claggett was asking for a harp teacher. At six years old, she began taking piano lessons with Jean Wonders, and at eight she began Suzuki harp lessons with professional harpist, instructor, and adjudicator Candyce Dunham. She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

Olivia played the harp at our wedding 9/1/2024 and did a wonderful job. It was the perfect added piece to our ceremony. She played before (while our guests and bridal party were getting seated/lining up), during (when my dad and I walked down), and after (when our guests exited) the ceremony and the music was just beautiful and peaceful. I met with her a few weeks prior to pick out the music we wanted and she had a lot of different songs/varieties to choose from. She was very responsive and showed up on time (which meant a lot being a bride). We couldn’t have asked for better music to be played for our wedding and our guests loved it/her too. We highly recommend her as a harpist for your wedding.

I am one of those people who just LOVE weddings. Specifically I love capturing the happiest moments for my couples and being able to make beautiful moments for my brides to look back on. I want the bride to have photos where she feels beautiful, confident, and timeless. My main markets are Columbus Ohio, Palm Springs, California, Hawaii, and Florida, BUT I LOVE and am willing to travel farther. I’m not one of those photographers who just decided one day to pick a camera up and just start doing weddings, Photography has been my entire life, this is my 15th year capturing wedding experiences for my brides. I love telling your authentic story.

SPEECHLESS!! is really all I can say! Bree did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. I truly couldn’t be happier with how they all turned out! From the very beginning when I came across her page I just knew she was the photographer for me. The detail in her work is truly something special. From the time we met she was more than respectful, friendly and filled with great energy. She is very professional and knowledgeable in her work. She communicated with me throughout the entire time leading up to the wedding and was very helpful with the wedding details and timelines. I knew I had no worries in this department. All of my family and friends can’t stop talking about our wedding photos. She knocked it out of the park! I can’t thank her enough for all of the work she did! A true pleasure to work with! If you’re wanting amazing photos don’t hesitate to book with Bree Lea Photography! You won’t regret it!
