Sage & Iron Creations 

4.9

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Independence, OH

Formly Known as Sage & Iron Images, I operate as a portrait photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio, with a specialized focus on capturing evocative, dark, and conceptual themes. Over a span of 17 years, I have honed my craft in photography. My educational background includes the attainment of a Certificate of Photography from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts and being self taught.

Bottom line, Ashley is the best photographer you could possibly find for your wedding and I would ride into battle for her if necessary. We hired her when we still weren’t sure if we were doing a glorified elopement, a micro wedding, or a real wedding with most of the traditional pitfalls (spoiler: turned into a real wedding because that’s just how things go). We were maybe 6 months out and I didn’t even know if I wanted engagement photos. It all seemed overwhelming and I had no clue what to expect. Well, Ashley made everything so easy that I swear it made the rest of it fall into place. We did our engagement photos in two locations with my Corgi in tow. She ran that shoot like a precision Swiss watch. Photos are spectacular, dog was happy, we were ecstatic with how well things went. I got the photos back quickly and they were beyond my expectations. My husband and I are not really “picture people” but Ashley changed that for us. Then came the wedding. Again, she is so talented and efficient with her pictures we got all of the personal and family photos we asked for, on top of gorgeous candid shots, and pictures of our ceremony and reception venues that are perfect. On top of the great pictures, Ashley is a true professional and great to work with. She gave me great tips and was a fantastic resource for me, since I never really thought I would have or want a wedding with more traditional elements. I’m not kidding when I say I’d ride into battle for Ashley at this point. I could not recommend her more. My husband and I are 100% set we have found our family photographer for everything moving forward!

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!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Joe and Ashley! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t. The way they captured every little moment, every emotion—it’s truly priceless. Joe and Ashley are not just incredibly talented at what they do, but they also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who genuinely care, are highly organized, and will capture your wedding day in the most perfect way possible, look no further.

I booked C-Town Entertainment at the recommendation of another bride, and I was so happy with Bob and his assistant! I may be biased, but ours was one of the most fun weddings I have been to. Everything ran smoothly and Bob did a great job reading the room and picking songs that brought people to the dance floor whenever needed. He checked in with me and my family/bridal party throughout the evening and made last minute adjustments as needed. He was professional and made sure we had all the moments and songs that we wanted. I have been to weddings with DJs who were not as skilled and it makes a big difference in the flow and energy of the evening. My guests started chanting “one more song!” at the end of the evening, and I think that says it all. I cannot thank you all enough for the care you put into our wedding!

Lake Affect was the perfect venue for our wedding in May 2025! It was our first and last venue we looked at. First, they only do 1 wedding/event a weekend - which made us feel prioritized and we didn’t have to rush to set up. The space is so cool and you can make it your own style. We got so many compliments of the space and how great it looked. The prices are BEYOND fair - plus the bar service is in house and we had to choose a caterer from their list; we loved that because it was less looking around. They are constantly updating the space to make it better and updated. Stefanie was absolutely fantastic and answered all my questions and was always so prompt!

Dwight was awesome to work with and went above and beyond for our wedding video. We initially hired him to shoot the wedding so we could experience the ceremony again. After the mass, he offered to follow us to our first picture location so he could get shots to use for a highlight video. This turned out to be an additional 4 minute video of snapshots of the afternoon when we were taking pictures. He also had a great ceremony video and got audio of myself and my wife as I was mic'd up before the ceremony. That was a great addition to our video. I was the first of my friends to get married and have since recommended Dwight to them. I was very pleased and would use their services again and hope that others do as well.

Jennifer Cruz was the makeup artist for my August wedding and she was lovely to work with and is obviously a skilled MUA! I am not a “makeup” person and I was a little intimidated by bridal makeup in general, but Jennifer was really patient and supportive with me as I figured out my look. The trial was easy to set up and she was great about showing me different levels of makeup heaviness, which helped me visualize and choose my look, which I wanted to be more natural. She was also super flexible when I ended up wanting to change things up a bit on the big day. I felt beautiful at my wedding, and glamorous in a way that I almost never look! The mothers, my sister and friend also had makeup done and everyone looked stunning. We were all done on time and the vibes were fun and easy-going as we were all getting ready.

I infuse sets that varies in genre, style & eras. I strive to provide a set that is enjoyable for all ages.

From the moment the music started, the energy was electric, and it stayed that way all night long. DJ Sunset has an incredible ability to read the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed with guests of all ages. Their transitions between songs were seamless, and the playlist perfectly matched the couple's unique vibe and vision for their big day. Not only is DJ Sunset exceptionally talented, but they were also professional, punctual, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. They worked closely with us to ensure the timeline and key moments (like the first dance and cake cutting) went off without a hitch, and they handled everything with such ease. If you're looking for a DJ who can turn your event into an unforgettable celebration, DJ Sunset is the one. We can't wait to work with them again in the future! Owner, Camela Lynn Weddings & Events

Josette was very kind, flexible and accomodating, and she was able to create the exact hairstyle I was dreaming of! She did a wonderful job with both hair and makeup. My bridesmaids were also very pleased with their looks.

I am a harpist and attorney whose passion for music and justice inspires my creative process. I have diverse playing experiences spanning across my career as a harpist. I began playing harp at the age of 8. At the age of 9, I was invited to participate in Jocelyn Chang’s Harp Ensemble, a group of 12 talented harpist who played during the holiday season. I have also won awards at the Ohio Scottish Games. At Smith College, I played in Orchestra for the performance of Swan Lake, Wind Ensemble and the Celtic Ensemble known as the Wailing Banshees.

Rae of Fun Events is a locally owned, female-led event planning and party rental business born from a deep love of celebration and connection. What began as a joyful hobby—planning birthdays, graduations, and weddings for family and friends—soon grew into something much more.

Rae of Fun Events was amazing to work with for our wedding! From the start, her communication was fast and efficient - she was always quick to respond to my questions and ideas. Everything she did for our wedding exceeded my standards. She knew exactly what I needed to jazz up every idea I threw her way, and she was amazing to work with all around. She was so helpful in areas I was confused in, and made my special day worry-free and I truly couldn't have asked for anything more.
