About
Our Studio
Madere's SpectraLight Photography & Design
began in Cleveland in 1980 and moved to Olmsted Falls in December
of 1987 and then to North Ridgeville in November of 2006.
The studio is a small, family-run business
operated by Mark and Doreen Madere from their home in Cypress
Station - a development that is near the end of Bagley Road in
North Ridgeville (about 9 minutes west of Great Northern Mall).
Unlike most large studios, Mark and Doreen are available to provide
you with a pleasant, more personalized service. They are dedicated
to making your wedding or portrait experience a relaxing and
pleasant one - something which will be reflected in your finished
photographs.
Madere's SpectraLight Photography & Design
specializes in high school senior portraits, fine wedding photography,
glamour photography and family portraits created in the park
or in the subject's home showcasing each family's personal environment.
