Portraits By Sean 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves East Cleveland, OH



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

Awarded Best of Zola
️️️️️ Choosing Drzazga Photo for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning. Since getting our gallery back, we are still getting compliments on how gorgeous and unique our photos turned out. When we met Carly during our engagement session we knew right away that she and Kasey would make us feel comfortable and would be the perfect pair to capture such an important day in our lives. We loved our engagement pictures so much we used them for everything (bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and thank you cards). I think we looked at them all 1,000 times. They captured our love for each other and excitement so perfectly. Our wedding gallery was like looking at pictures from a fairytale. Our getting ready pictures, portraits, ceremony and reception photos are beautiful. They captured gorgeous pictures of us, but also of our family and friends whom we shared such an important day with. I love thinking about how someday these pictures will be shared with our own children, grandchildren and family. Weeks after our wedding we decided to become puppy parents to an adorable Cavapoo named Teddy. The Drzazga’s have captured such sweet moments of our love story this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to end it than a trip to Cleveland in November for a holiday mini session at their studio, with of course the newest addition to our family, Teddy. Thank you Carly and Kasey for capturing all of the sweet moments of this amazing year. You are truly the best of the best. Love, The Rishers

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

Glassburn Photography was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. Their communication was great and straight to the point, which we really appreciated as we planned our big day. The photographers were true professionals and their work was seasoned and incredible - they captured all the special moments so beautifully.

Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more

I am one of the lucky ones. I have been so fortunate to be able to turn my passion for photography + videography into a dream job. When I was exposed to the wedding industry after college (any Ohio University alumni out there?!), I INSTANTLY fell in love with capturing those once in a lifetime moments. That was 8 years ago and I have not put a camera down since.

Meghan is fantastic! I've had the pleasure of working alongside Meghan professionally, and I can attest to her creativity and ease under pressure. She works efficiency but with delicate precision. She captures obvious photo-worthy moments of the day and smaller interactions that really show the excitement and emotions felt that you will cherish forever!

You could say photography is in my blood, since my father has been a professional photographer for most of his adult life, and he generously gifted me my very first camera. That special gift fueled a spark in me, and that spark grew into a true passion after my own wedding. I married my high school sweetheart in 2019 and quickly realized just how important pictures from your wedding day really are. After it's over, photos are the best way to reminisce and relive the emotions from one of the most important days of our lives over and over again.

My husband and I had never had professional photos done together and we were super nervous to take them on our wedding day, but Stephanie made us feel so comfortable! It felt easy and relaxed and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! :) I would recommend her to everyone!

Seven years in, and I’m still over the moon that I get to do this for a living. I get to spend people’s happiest days of their lives with them and do the honors of documenting the day in an authentic and lovely way that will be treasured for eternity,

I have worked with Amanda on several weddings where I was the planner, as well as for my own family photos. She is kind, patient and most importantly fun to be around. Her images speak for themself, but her personality is what will make you want to hire her to spend the most important day of your life with you, and then all the little moments that follow from new babies to holiday photos to lifestyle sessions.

  • Serves East Cleveland, OH

I began my career working as a backup for a wedding photographer in Akron, Ohio. I started out using a medium format Hasselblad 501CM film camera (I don’t miss those days). Over 300 weddings later, I still have a passion for photographing couples on their wedding day. For me, weddings have it all: portrait photography; photojournalism; commercial photography (wedding details). It is all interesting and all part of your day.

Larry was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding! From the moment we met him in person, we knew he was someone deeply passionate about and dedicated to his art. And he's definitely a true artist. Some of photographs he took could pass for classic oil paintings they were so timeliness and wonderful - definitely family heirloom quality! He's also so easy to talk to and really wants a sense of what we truly wanted to capture from our big day. We told him we wanted some portraits but the majority of the time just wanted candids and natural moments captured so that we could fully be in the moment with our guests. And boy did he deliver! There were pictures from the reception that I had no idea he even was present for because he really let us be in our element. For that I'm super grateful. He is also someone who goes above and beyond to capture the minutia of the day. He was there with us from the time makeup and hair started to the very last dance. He would get on the ground if needed to capture that perfect shot and was so mindful of the natural lighting to help us capture some truly magical moments. We truly cannot recommend Larry enough!

Founded in 2011 by Dustin and Melissa Lopez, One Red Door is a wedding photography studio serving Northeast, Ohio. Their intention was to create an award winning studio that was different. After a few years, Melissa and Dustin created resources and the support necessary to allow other photographers to focus on their core competency, connecting with and photographing their clients.

I have had the pleasure of working with One Red Door Photography many times over the past several years and whenever one of my couples tells me that ORDP is part of their vendor team, I get so excited! I get excited because I know this couple is in for a treat. Dustin and Mel and their team are so good at making people at ease, which truly lets your natural personality shine through in the images that they capture. Their pictures are amazing! They push themselves creatively to get great shots. I remember one of my first weddings with them (I am a DJ), where Mel climbed up onto Dustin's shoulders to get an awesome full group photo of everyone on the dance floor. Dustin has taken family portraits for our family for the past few years and they hang on our walls printed on large canvases. We love them! My wife talks all the time about how the picture we got printed on a large canvas captures our family so perfectly! The team at ORDP really cares about you and about helping you have an amazing day and capturing that amazing day on camera. I've never met anyone that regretted hiring the ORDP team. This is an easy decision. Hire these guys!

Sound Originals did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Ari and Ali were very professional and they understood how to set up good shots. I'm amazed by how good the lighting was in most of the photos, even in some rooms at the church that weren't as well lit. There are a few photos I wish had been full body rather than cut off at the ankles, oh well. At the end of the night when our coverage had ended before the wedding did, they waited till the end of a song before saying goodbye instead of interrupting, which we greatly appreciated.
