The short version of how I got here is this: my grandfather was a photographer, and although he passed away when I was young, photography somehow became one of the ways I still feel connected to him.
Years ago, he purchased savings bonds for me before I was even old enough to understand what they were. When I finally decided to pursue photography professionally, I cashed them in and used them to buy my first real camera.
A few years later, Beck Photo Co. was born.
It felt full circle in a way that’s hard to explain. Like a small piece of him quietly became part of this story too.
Maybe that’s also why I care so deeply about photographs that actually mean something. Long after the wedding's over, the photos are proof of what it actually felt like to be there. The people, the relationships, the moments that only get more valuable with time. That's why I care about getting this right.
Outside of weddings: my family, my animals, and as much time outside as I can get. In my heart of hearts I believe my dance moves are incredible. My daughters strongly disagree.

Renee's own wedding day (and how amazing it was) is the reason she decided to become a wedding photographer. The ability to be such an intimate part of a day that is so important for couples is not lost on her. She thinks that the most beautiful and memorable moments on a wedding day come from genuine connections and emotions. She loves to capture the first look as well as the little unseen candid moments.
Renee and her husband love spending time outdoors with their pups and visiting new craft breweries. Her husband is an avid golfer and while Renee isn't a big fan of the sport, she really enjoys the chill vibes of driving him all over the course in a golf cart, sipping on ice cold drinks. When the camera is turned towards Renee she transforms into Tyra Banks, so don't let her quiet demeanor fool you.

Junah has been assisting at Beck Photo Co. since 2023. She sets up lighting equipment, fluffs dresses, tosses veils, and offers a helping hand to the photographers and couple. Junah is also learning how to master the art of photography and has a very unique eye for beautiful images. She really enjoys the creative outlet this job allows her and how fun it is to meet a lot of new people.
When Junah is not setting up tripods she enjoys school and sports. She has played school and club volleyball for four years and has traveled all over the state for tournaments as her team's libero. Her mom's nickname for her is Junebug, but don't tell anyone.

What started out as a hobby in high school turned into a passion and profession. Oh, and he is married to Jaime- they are our husband and wife video team (which doubles the cuteness factor). Dan loves capturing the big moments, but really revels in documenting the unplanned. for him, weddings are such a beautiful and special moment for a couple and he really wants their film to tell the story of your day. Dan loves creating timeless and elegant wedding films that you will cherish for a lifetime.
In his free time, Dan love spending time with his boys. Cleveland sports is his love language (especially the Guardians). He loves being outside and exploring Northeast Ohio with his boys, rain or shine! He is a recovering emo kid (we have pictures to prove it).
Dan
Lead Videographer
Jaime got started in videography because her husband (our very own Dan- awwww) needed an extra set of hands and Jaime quickly fell in love with being a filmmaker. Jaime is passionate about capturing the authentic and candid moments. Wedding days are her favorite because it is an opportunity to document such an important part of someone's life. Jaime has a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence.
In her free time, Jaime chases around her two little boys who keep her on her toes. Two under three is no joke! She has two huskies that are crazy and sweet at the same time. You'd never guess it, but she has the forearms of a professional baseball player from carrying around the 20-75mm f/2.0 lens.

Brittany loves documenting weddings because it captures one of the most cherished days in a couple's life. Her passion for storytelling through images and document authentic emotions is what inspires her. For Brittany, witnessing unique love stories makes being a photographer a deeply rewarding experience. The ability to create timeless art that holds profound meaning for the couple and their families is what Brittany loves the most.
Brittany is from Ohio, but lived in San Diego for several years before coming back home. She misses the weather out there, but loves being back around her family. She is married to our other photographer Caleb and together they have one cat. Brittany would never admit it, but she has the best hair out of anyone on the team.

Caleb loves to capture the magic, emotion, and beauty of a couple’s special day through his lens. He has a blend of technical skill, creativity, and the ability to connect with people. From candid shots to carefully composed portraits, Caleb works tirelessly to document not just the big moments, but also the subtle, intimate details that make each wedding unique. He is dedicated to transforming fleeting moments into timeless memories, allowing couples to relive their love story for years to come.
Caleb is from Ohio, but lived in San Diego while he served in the United States Navy. While in the Navy he was an air rescue swimmer and jumped out of helicopters into the ocean (he is kind of a bad ass). He now lives in Norton with his wife and cat. Together they love being outdoors. Caleb pretends to be shy, but once you get him posing in front of the camera he turns into a male model.

Sally is the village idiot, and we adore her for it. She approaches everything in life with maximum enthusiasm, including photography. She has four legs and never lets Lincoln forget it. Sally also works tirelessly to ensure no squirrels breach the office perimeter and personally handles all incoming sky raisins that make it through the defenses.

Lincoln is the goodest of all good boys. He’s a three-legged old man who is, at this point, mostly deaf and almost blind. His primary responsibilities include sleeping beside Kristen while she edits and giving aggressively sad puppy eyes anytime she gets off task.

"If you want photos that are beautiful but also look and feel like YOU, pick Kristen. Her photos don't just reflect her personal style; they reflect each individual couple or family and help tell their unique stories."
Ok, enough about us. Let's talk about you.
A lot of our couples come to us with the same questions, so we figured we’d answer a few of them here.
“Will we feel awkward?”
Maybe, for about five minutes. Then it's just you, your person, and someone with a camera who isn't asking you to do anything too weird.
“Will we get to enjoy cocktail hour?”
If that matters to you, yes. I build the day around what you want. Some couples want to be fully in the party, others prefer to step away for more photos. It's your day, not mine, so you'll never find me bossing you around.
“Will this feel stressful?”
Not if I can help it. I'll step in when it's useful and disappearish when it's not (I'm never really gone).
“Will the photos still feel elevated?”
Yes. Documentary doesn't mean unplanned. It means the planning doesn't show.
“Ok, but… are you normal?”
Yes. Mostly.
"She made the entire bridal party + families feel so comfortable and confident."
I can confidently say that our best choice out of the entire wedding planning process was our choice to hire Kristen! She made the entire bridal party and families feel so comfortable and confident which allowed us to have a seamless event and we got some amazing photos as a result! We would choose Kristen over and over again if given the opportunity!
Alexis + Eric
This is a father, seeing his daughter in her dress for the first time. Nobody told him to react. Nobody posed this.
It's about being present enough to recognize when something beautiful is about to happen, and paying attention when it does. That's it. That's the whole job.
And I'm so freaking honored to do it for you.
The moment, not the moment after.
"She made us and our guests feel extremely comfortable in front of a camera."
From the initial consultation call, to the engagement shoot, and our wedding day, she was not only incredible to work with and takes amazing photos, but she also made us and our guests feel extremely comfortable in front of a camera. Candid and authentic photos are very important to us, and she did an incredible job at capturing those little moments. If you are looking for a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, authentic and provides seriously incredible photos, Kristen and Beck Photo Co is WORTH EVERY PENNY!
