INTRODUCTIONS
MEET THE
FOUNDER
David started photographing weddings in 2007 and has been photographing weddings all over the world for the past 15 years. While building what Swidrak & Co. is today, he spent 11 of those years serving as a worship pastor in churches in northeast Ohio. It's here where he met his wife, Brittany, and they now have identical twin girls, Adeline & Avery. David and Brittany celebrated 10 years of marriage in 2021 by renewing their vows in Valley of Fire State Park, NV.
Clare, of course, was there to photograph it.
David Swidrak
Owner & Lead Photographer
David is the full heart and driven soul behind Swidrak & Co. His passion for art in all forms and the overall grandeur of weddings inspired his company, designed for refined and genuine storytelling. Captivated by each love story he encounters, David documents your beautiful, fleeting moments with deep purpose and intent.
Lead Photographer
Clare is a born and raised Clevelander. She got married to her husband, Michael in 2020 as a Swidrak & Co. bride and joined the team as a photographer in 2021! They have two dogs, and a cat named Olive. Until David recruited Clare as his associate photographer, she worked as a full time registered nurse, and did photography as her side hustle.
Clare prefers sunrises over sunsets, beer over wine, and mountains over beaches. Lord of the rings is her favorite movie series, loves to binge watch the Office, and anything chicken bacon ranch is her favorite meal.

Clare Sloan
Creative Director
As Creative Director, Kate lives a lifestyle and career full of creativity, love, and time spent with people. With an eye for detail and a passion for creating memorable experiences through planning and design, each wedding is a uniquely gratifying opportunity to make meaningful connections and bring your perfect vision to life.
Kate has always been drawn to the charm of a life filled with meeting new people and experiencing new places. There are very few things she enjoys more than getting together with her family, whether it be a big holiday gathering or a casual weekend hangout. Her love of books and a good rom-com fuels her fascination with storytelling and she believes that every moment in life deserves to be cherished and celebrated.
She is a creative with every fiber of her being, expressing art not only as a wedding designer, but as a choreographer, pianist, writer, painter, singer, and any other hobby she picks up. Kate is your wedding planner, your biggest fan, your new best friend, and an essential part of your planning and design process.
