I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years now and love every single one. The love, the joining of 2 people, and the fun of having everyone together. I strive to have every single important moment captured to remember for a lifetime.

“We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!”

We're husband and wife destination wedding and elopement photographers and videographers based in Cleveland, Ohio, traveling as much as possible. We’re here to be your photographic memory, capturing you honestly and naturally so you can give your attention to the people and moments that matter most. We want you to have stunning images and the best day of your life and we do everything in our power to deliver both.

“If you’re looking for a moody, dreamy, romantic wedding photographer, look no further! Carly is absolutely incredible! My husband (then fiancé) and I were searching for a wedding photographer in the Cleveland area when we stumbled upon Drzazga Photo. Best thing to happen to us!! Early on in my planning I knew my wedding aesthetic was going to be boho rustic and I wanted a photographer who would be able to capture it well. We found that in Carly, and honestly, she can make any wedding style look fantastic in her photos!! If you haven’t checked out her work, DO IT ASAP! Not only are the photos she takes beautiful, but Carly’s eye for angles and poses is astounding. She’s incredibly talented and SUPER sweet. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable in front of the camera, but when working with Carly, she made us feel super comfortable and being photographed by her was actually fun. She’s also available at a really great price. While searching for photographers with similar style and quality, we found most of them were way out of our price range. Now that she has an associate team, you can get the same quality for even a bit cheaper! I didn’t work with the associate team, so I can’t speak to how they interact with their clients, but if you can, don’t skimp on having Carly shoot for you, I promise you won’t regret it! She not only gives you great quality for a great value, but she even includes an engagement photoshoot! (Although complimentary, the photos we got blew us out of the water and also got us really excited to see what she would be able to do at our wedding!) Spoiler alert: she crushed it! We are floored by how good the wedding photos turned out and we haven’t got the whole gallery back yet!! Also, Carly is SO incredibly accommodating! She drove all the way from Cleveland to Columbus just to do our engagement photos because it was more convenient for us!!! Her dedication to her clients is UNRIVALED! I can’t say enough good things about Carly and the team at Drzazga photo!! I’m just so happy we were able to snag her before she booked up!! (She’s a hot commodity, so if you’re even remotely considering her, book her or you might miss out on her magic!) We are keeping her contact info saved because we will certainly be reaching out for any professional photos in the future!! Thank you, Carly, Kasey, and team!!! You guys are the best!”

I didn't know it at first, but photography has often been a meaningful part of my life. My dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in our bathrooms, and I often wondered how he took them. By the time I was in high school, I regularly had a disposable in my pocket. It was exciting to capture those brief moments and the people in them, and still so to be able to look back. Connecting with others in a positive way has always been a passion of mine, and thankfully this compliments my role as a photographer. I hope to make a positive impact in this world through the lens, and would love to help tell your story.

“Stephen was so lovely and accommodating, helping us make our short-notice elopement extra special and romantic. We were instantly so comfortable with him, and his ease and familiarity with the city made him the perfect scout for great images. We love the pictures -- they totally captured our vibe -- and spending time with Stephen felt like hanging with a fun friend. Everything you could want!”
