THE CATCHLIGHT REFLECTING BACK AT US IS A REMINDER THAT LOVE, INDEED, NEVER FAILS.
Every love story has the opportunity to be a beacon of light and a reflection of all that is good in the world.
My work exists to chronicle the reason why marriage exists in the first place: a love story comprising many chapters, not just one. By building strong connections with my couples, I hand-craft films and photo galleries that are authentic, timeless and moment-driven. These are your future family heirlooms, tailor-made to you.
Because amidst life’s shadows,
let's capture your catchlight
This is where I combine my creative eye with my love for immersive storytelling. I’m here to tell a richer, more resonant story of how all the little moments led you here, to this one overwhelmingly joyous one. Weddings are the finale of one story and the prologue to another – and it’s an honor to capture them.
Every couple has a unique vision for their dream day, which is why I craft a custom package for every couple. Have questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out & set up a call!

behind every film & photo
- Emily
for the deeply nostalgic
“Yours are the wedding films that I can’t stop watching.
I feel like I was there. I really felt like I knew (the couple)."
Love isn’t always about the big moments. More often, it’s about all the little moments that come between them. I’m all about painting a full picture of your wedding day, documenting your story to the very edges of the frame. From the emotion quivering in your loved ones' voices to the tears gleaming in your partner’s eyes, these are the moments you’ll want to reflect back on. These are the moments I’m always looking for.
The private vows, letter readings and first looks — they’re the threads that guide us through your story. Every time I sit down to edit a film or gallery, they’re my North Star. They’re the core holding everything together.
At the end of the day, I simply want to tell a damn good story. I want to create heirlooms you’ll hang all over your walls, photo albums your grandkids will flip through and films you’ll watch again and again and again.
Being vulnerable and authentic is the ultimate luxury
At Catchlight, I want you to feel the soul, joy and emotion radiating through every frame. To me, capturing that light, that joy, is peak authenticity.
For me, it’s about more than simply capturing an image or video clip. It’s about forming a genuine connection with my couples. I want you to be a major player in the creative process. This is your story, and it’s vital that I know and understand its main characters.
Whether it’s suggesting a location for your engagement session, something you saw on Pinterest or wanting to incorporate a special theme, I want you to feel empowered and involved in shaping your story into a true reflection of who you are as a person and a couple.
The deeper we get to know each other, the more vulnerability, emotion and authenticity will shine through. It’s the secret sauce for a much richer telling.
-Allison
Jordan was supportive, helpful and thorough on our wedding day. We all shared a bunch of laughs that day. Our friends and family were in awe of how invested he was in our wedding... [he] created something that will always be a part of one of our favorite days of our lives and Jordan will forever be a part of our story.”
Reflecting that fizzing-with-excitement-kind-of-feeling, every step of the way
Every client, every wedding, every photo and every film gets all of me.
That’s the only way I know how to operate. So you can bet I’m going to be showing up with enthusiasm and excitement to every call, session and moment we share together. That’s just how my personality works.
When I know I’ve captured a moment really well, I can feel the electricity go through my body. I feel that spark all over again when I import everything and start editing. It’s really no more complicated than this: the joy of your day is infectious, and it’s the driving inspiration behind Catchlight.
There are so many moments I love during weddings, but seeing my couples happy and having the best day of their life — I’ll take all those moments all day, every day.
- Amanda Celis, Cleveland Wedding Photographer
Jordan is brilliant, clever and kind. He has a boisterous laugh that makes other people laugh, but he knows when to be serious, too; he’s intuitive and can read a room. He radiates creativity, positivity and contentment, all while exuding a certain calmness, reasonableness and understanding
Not only are weddings an investment, but they’re an intimate experience to share with a vendor
In order for me to honor your story fully, our relationship has to be built on a foundation of trust, honesty and integrity.
From the first call to final delivery and beyond, I am always transparent with my clients. I often stress to my couples that one of my core values as a business owner is to never sell the client on goods or services they don't need. Our relationship is too important — too sacred — to be ruined by high pressure sales and half-truths. From my payment structure to how I approach my consultation calls, I promise to always have your best interest at heart.
Communication will feel clear and honest every step of the way so you’re never stumbling around in the dark.
- Rebecca
From start to finish Jordan was knowledgeable, supportive, and organized. Having payments spread out over time was incredibly helpful. Our final photos and highlight reel are incredible. Our friends and family were (and continue to be) in awe of the final products. Whatever magic he puts into his films truly brings back every emotion we felt during our actual day.
I’ll meet you wherever you are!
The initial discovery call affords us the opportunity to get to know each other and serves as the prologue of the story we'll write together.
We'll go over the services and packages that Catchlight offers as well as dive deep into the vision you have for your wedding day.
Whether this discovery meeting happens at your favorite coffee shop or dive bar -- or even at Catchlight's downtown studio -- is totally up to you.
In the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, I’m available day and night for questions or feedback. We will schedule your engagement or Love Story Session, as well as discuss the vision you have for your wedding day. I strive to be a deep well of information and insight to each and every client to help ensure their once-in-a-lifetime memories are beautifully captured while also allowing them to actually live in the moment on their wedding day.
In the 60 days leading up to the wedding, we will have multiple discussions regarding the timeline (which I will gladly help you put together!), any shot lists and special requests.
When I have nearly completed your hand-crafted photo gallery or highlight film, you will be invited to the downtown studio for your reveal party! Bring your spouse, your family and even your dog!
At the reveal party you will have a chance to review the gallery and highlight film as well as learn more about having your memories printed and protected forever. Your favorite drinks and snacks will also be on the house.
I try to make the booking process as simple and as stress-free as possible. It typically begins with a quick and fun consultation where we'll get to know each other a little bit. From there, I'll recommend packages and services that would be perfect to match your vision and budget. You can start the conversation here
I give my clients some degree of flexibility in how and when they make payments. Most clients opt for five installments of 20 percent.
A retainer is required to secure your date, but I aim to be flexible when it comes to how much the retainer is. I do not require retainers above 20% down. That's one of the many reasons Catchlight Film & Photo Co. is a premier Cleveland wedding videographer + photographer.
Sure! From booking to delivery, I will be there to help at every stage in the process and answer every question. My promise to you is to help make your day run as smoothly as possible!
Nostalgic. Immersive. A tad darker than true-to-life. The best things are made to last, and I edit every frame to stand the test of time.
I don’t consider myself a moody editor or an airy/bright editor. I’m somewhere in the middle, but so much of it depends on every couple and every location. Authenticity is the ultimate goal. But I would describe my editing style as having a deep, rich contrast with a splash of warmth that is synonymous with the Catchlight look.
My wedding film turnaround is about 90 days from the wedding. But, I will always keep you updated!
My wedding photography turnaround is about 90 days from the wedding. For engagement sessions, the turnaround is about 30 days from the shoot. But, I do love to send some sneak peeks a couple days after!
I do offer drone videography and have my Part 107 license. Although drone videography is subject to FAA regulations and weather, it is a service I routinely include for my couples wedding films.
Is water wet? OF COURSE! So if the stars align, I’d love to travel to wherever your wedding day takes you. I am also offering discounts for National Park weddings and Alaska weddings (help me check them off my bucket list). Be sure to give more details in the inquiry form here!
