You’ve got the ring, found the dream destination or venue, definitely at least thought about the dress - now all you have to do is find THE photographer. The one who’s down to travel, down to party, and most of all, down to help you perfect alllll the details of your dream day. I’ve been photographing intimate weddings in Ohio + beyond for the last 10 years - there’s nothing I don’t know about getting hitched, and nothing I don’t love about it.

Fullem Films 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Lorain, OH
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hello! I'm Danny and I've wanted to be a filmmaker since I was seven years old. Wes Craven's "Scream" was the catalyst for having a camera in my hands. I have a need to tell stories that resonate with people and make them feel something. ​ I also happen to be a HUGE sap. I love filming weddings because I genuinely love seeing people at their absolute happiest. The opportunity to turn that happiness into art that couple's can look back on is so gratifying.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny was super easy to work with and listened to all of my thoughts and ideas. He gave us all the footage we wanted and more so we could remember every detail of our big day. So many people are on the fence about a videographer, but it is totally worth it! We can look back on all of our family and friends having the time of their lives and remember all the little moments that can be forgotten after time.

Founded in 1940, when we say we have decades of experience, we really mean it. Since then our love for flowers and our team has only grown. Day to day you can catch us designing floral arrangements and delivering them by the truck full. We source locally whenever possible (of course). We especially love weddings and just adore our brides. Aside from that, we are probably spending any other spare time cheering on fellow entrepreneurs and our favorite vendors of this industry. We love to pour back into our city by supporting local events, schools, and the animal shelter. And we could go on of course, but there is a word limit :)

I can't say enough good things about Merkel's Floral! They truly went above and beyond for our wedding, delivering arrangements that were more perfect than we could have hoped for. The flower arch was stunning—fresh, vibrant and overall perfection. Guests couldn’t stop complimenting the floral displays throughout the day. I’m so grateful to have had them as part of our special celebration! Kristin is also so incredibly talented and sweet, she makes communicating easy and responds quickly. Overall- such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

It was amazing to work with Tyson! The final meeting before the wedding was so helpful for us to fully understand what our day will look like. On top of being our DJ, he was also our officiant. It was such an awesome service for him to offer. He was easy to work with to make minor changes to the ceremony script. He brought such a positive and fun energy to our ceremony. Then as we moved into the reception, we had some specific requests for music and announcements and he was able to make everything flow perfectly, just as we had imagined. He kept people on the dance floor all night and it was such a blast! Definitely could not recommend Tyson more for your wedding officiant and DJ!

When researching venues to have our wedding we kept coming back to this one and got married here in October. We loved the outdoor ceremony space, which was absolutely stunning with all of the fall colors. We loved the reception space for its spaciousness and what we could do with it, it was the perfect space for a fun filled reception. From the beginning everyone we worked with was very helpful and always thorough when answering any questions we had throughout the planning process.

She is also very calming and pleasant to be around and made it a great experience. I highly recommend her to everyone.

I've known I wanted to be a photographer since middle school. Then I fell in love with love and still get emotional at each wedding I photograph. I'm an extroverted introvert that loves music, food and talking about random facts.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Paige, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Quite literally, she was the very first wedding vendor of any sort that we met! Her communication style was open, accommodating, and amazing. The quality of Paige's work is simply beautiful, and her services were incredibly adaptable to us and worked within our budget without any stress. On our wedding day, Paige felt like one of the family and did an amazing job capturing all of our best moments, from the ceremony to the reception. Her creative ideas for photos of my husband and I doing what we love were spot on, and the final images are truly breathtaking. From our engagement session to the very last moment of our wedding, Paige was the perfect photographer to document our special day.
