Voting Home / Weddings / BEST Photographer / 2010 Top 5 Slideshow
I strive to shoot photographs with meaning. Photos of true moments. Photojournalism is all about getting that perfect moment, showing the emotion. Making photos that are true. My goal when shooting weddings is to document your day in as unobtrusive a way as possible while catching those memorable moments. Unposed. Unscripted. Real.
My main focus is editorial photography and you can see my portfolio at KEN BLAZE DOT COM. My schooling and experience in documentary photography lends itself well to the art of shooting weddings.
I grew up on the south side of Cleveland in the Parma area. Moved west to Lakewood while I went to St. Ignatius High School in Ohio City, and then I graduated from Kent State University in 1995 with a degree in Photojournalism. I was able to get a staff photographer position with the Willoughby News-Herald in 1996 and that's where I stayed until 2007.
I currently live on Cleveland's west side neighborhood with my wife Kristen, our kids Luca and Rio and our dogs Ameka, Walter. I left my position at the News-Herald to concentrate my career as a freelancer and to stay at home during the week with Luca. That's when I began to shoot weddings.I graduated from Kent State University in 1995 with a degree in Photojournalism. I never thought in a million years I'd be able to support myself by taking pictures. It's pretty freekin great.
