We believe that your wedding photos should be extraordinary.
Experience the Artistry of Our Team of Photographers. New Image Photography was founded by Jonathan Koslen over thirty years ago in Cleveland, Ohio. After working in Israel as a photojournalist, Jonathan’s focus was primarily fashion photography. One day during a photo shoot, a model asked if he could photograph her wedding. She said she was looking for someone to just “show up and shoot what’s going on.” Jonathan did just that, and from there went on to create 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 Odessa, Ukraine. She earned her Bachelors 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!
Exceeding expectations New Image has been preferred vendors for The Ritz Carlton, Renaissance Hotel, Marriott Key Center, Cleveland Museum of Art, Hillbrook Club, Landerhaven, and many others.

Ayla (Jonathan’s Daughter) started as a photo assistant as she literally grew up with a camera in her hand. A few years ago a wedding coordinator realized the video person he thought was hired never arrived. Ayla ended up shooting video for the first time that evening and loved it!

Adela is our newest member on the team. Her passion for photography started very early in her teen years when she started modeling. She enjoyed being in front of the camera and also had a curiosity of what it would be like to be behind the camera…to be the director, the creator, the artist with the magic eye. She approaches each session with attention, creativity, passion and love. She likes to create emotional art that leaves people inspired. In every photograph she finds a reflection of herself and theres no surprise photography is the love of her life!
