Welcome! I’m Marci

Certified Professional Photographer and Studio Owner

Marci Minnich’s journey into photography wasn’t just about capturing images—it was about finding beauty in the world, even when life made it hard to see. Growing up, she learned to search for light in even the darkest places. At 21, as a single mother, she took a part-time job just to pay for Christmas presents, not realizing it would lead her to her true passion.

Four years later, she began an apprenticeship under a Master Craftsman photographer, honing her craft with an eye for emotion and storytelling. By 2000, Marci launched her own photography business, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after wedding photographers in the Akron/Cleveland area, shooting more than 50 weddings per year. Her talent and dedication earned her the Fuji Masterpiece Award for Best Bridal Portrait in 2005, opening doors to work alongside industry legends like Monte Zucker and Joe Buissink.

But beyond the accolades and the artistry, what truly fueled Marci was witnessing raw, unfiltered emotion—the kind of moments that make life feel richer. Whether capturing the nervous excitement of a bride or the tender embrace of a mother and daughter, photography became more than a profession—it was a way to celebrate human connection.
