Jonathan & Marina Koslen

We believe that your wedding photos should be extraordinary.

New Image Photography was founded by Jonathan Koslen over thirty years ago in Cleveland, Ohio. After working in Israel as a photojournalist, Jonathan focused on fashion photography. One day, during a photo shoot, a model asked if he could photograph her wedding. She said she sought someone to “show up and shoot what’s going on.”   Jonathan did just that and, from there, created one of Cleveland’s most prominent wedding photography studios.  Over two thousand weddings later, Jonathan treats every wedding with as much enthusiasm and excitement as his first year in business. His style is described as “photojournalistic and event portraiture with a high fashion twist”. New Image is unobtrusive and refined yet also cutting-edge and avant-garde.

~ Marina Koslen has been an artist most of her life, starting in childhood at the centuries-old Grekhov Academy of the Arts in Odesa, Ukraine. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Art, with a focus on painting and illustration, and her MBA from Ursuline College. The photography was a natural progression, as Marina has the eye and soul of a fine artist.  Marina first met Jonathan while hand-painting the 50×40 ft backdrop for Cleveland Ballet’s Nutcracker. Marina’s favorite part about wedding photography is capturing all the emotions and feelings! 

New Image is a boutique destination photography studio that caters to every bride who walks through our doors. Our team of master photographers has a refined understanding of the subtleties and nuances a wedding brings. At least two photographers cover every event.  The studio focuses on the couple; however, having two photographers allows plenty of opportunities to shoot the parents and their friends. Jonathan understands that a wedding is a big day for everyone, and he and his associates work extremely hard to exceed expectations.  As a result of this talent and work ethic, New Image has been the preferred vendor for The Ritz Carlton, Renaissance Hotel, Marriott Key Center, Cleveland Museum of Art, Hillbrook Club, Landerhaven, and many others.
