Bree Lea Photography

Columbus, OH
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,100

I'm Bree - With over fifteen years of experience documenting love stories in Columbus, California & Hawaii as well as International when needed. I believe wedding photography should feel calm and grounding. My approach is guided, not always posed; present, not performative. I step in when needed and step back when moments deserve to breathe. Your wedding day isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. My role is to preserve the feeling of that day so it can be experienced again for generations to come.

This review is a tad late but I got married in November 2024 and booking with Bree Lea Photography was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day. Bree's communication style is clear, welcoming, understanding, and creative. Her work is meticulous, intentional, high-quality, and priceless. Bree made sure our wedding day felt seamless and not rushed - she even traveled to different locations to photograph our wedding party hours before the ceremony. Bree had continuous communication leading up to our big day and never made us feel stressed. She even helped create our wedding day schedule when we didn't know where to start! She found herself in the city of my wedding while she was on VACATION and told me she scouted it for the best shooting areas...did I mention she was on VACATION? She went above and beyond with amazing communication, stellar photographs, and on top of that she has a kind soul and was an absolute treasure to work with. You would be lucky to book with such a talented, fun, relatable photographer for your big day! I'll def be reaching out to her again for smaller shoots in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Dana and her team at Thyme & Details was such a relief from start to finish. We hired Thyme & Details late in the game for our wedding- about 4 months out when we realized we couldn't pull off the wedding we wanted by ourselves. She responded to every question right away and gave us thoughtful answers that showed they really understood what we wanted for our day. Her vendor recommendations are top notch and her relationships with vendors around the city made the booking processes much quicker and often more affordable. What impressed us most was how organized everything was behind the scenes. Dana & team solved every problem so quickly that we didn't even realize anything had gone wrong. Her depth of experience & knowledge really shows- from timelines to vendor negotiation. On our wedding day, Dana & her team stayed calm and joyful the entire time, which made us feel comfortable and excited instead of stressed. Her personal touch and attention to detail showed in every part of our celebration, and we felt like our wedding was truly ours. We can't recommend Thyme & Details enough to couples looking for a planner who genuinely cares and knows how to get to execute flawlessly. It's a plus that Dana herself is such a joy- our wedding planning team was one of our favorite parts of our day.

I established my business in 2020 after getting married! I wanted to be able to create timeless, beautiful, and emotion filled memories for couples such as my husband and I had from our own special day. I have a huge love for photography and traveling so by combining both passions I am able to capture memories for couples all over the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking our wedding photographer was probably our least favorite task. We didn’t want someone who was going to make us pose for a million pictures. We wanted someone who was going to shoot those shots throughout the day that made us look back and say how special our day was with our people. We wanted pictures to piece together the day. We found Danielle and stalked her instagram (naturally) and knew she was the one. Her work speaks for itself, her pictures are beautiful. For us it was so much more than that. We told her exactly what we wanted and she delivered. She provided direction when we needed it, her communication, organization and punctuality was amazing and her second shooter was exactly the same. Danielle is so friendly and made us feel so at ease being in front of her camera. We will bring up her name in a room full of people looking for a photographer- every. single. time.

In 2016, I expanded my love of beauty by adding wedding and special event makeup to my list of services.

The Boathouse was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. The ceremony on the deck overlooking the rivers with downtown Columbus as a backdrop was an incredible setting! For the reception, the floor to ceiling windows in the Olentangy Room displayed a similar view with the added feature of an illuminated downtown in the evening. The management staff , Edward and Kelsey were wonderful. They were easy to communicate with and addressed all questions and any concerns I had. The staff working the event were fabulous too. They were all very friendly and personable and really helped make this anxious mother feel things were in good hands. Thank you all for your hard work Edward, Kelsey, TT, Kevina, Brandy, Maya and David. Also, I have to mention that the food was amazing! Salmon and steak were served. The salmon and accompanying sauce were so favorable and the beef was the most tender I’ve had since dining at my favorite steak restaurant in Texas. It honestly was the most delicious food I’ve ever had at a wedding. I definitely am looking forward to dining in the restaurant portion in the future. I believe the bride and groom and all guests felt it was an elegant, yet unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere. Perhaps a bit biased, but my husband said it was the most enjoyable wedding he had ever been to.

Waltdog Production and Y.S.E Entertainment were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they were quick to respond, helpful, and eager to understand exactly what we were looking for. Their communication style was fantastic - they listened intently to every detail I described for the ceremony music and transitions, and then delivered a beautiful, fun performance that set the perfect party vibes all night long. The quality of their work and value was truly outstanding. They understood our vision completely and helped make our special day feel so personal and unique. I cannot recommend Waltdog Production and Y.S.E Entertainment highly enough!

I’m Judith, and I’ve spent the past eight years capturing weddings with a focus on the moments that truly matter. Every wedding has its own story, and I aim to honor it with care and presence. I focus on both the big moments and the small, intimate ones that often become the most cherished memories. The result is a collection of photographs that feel personal, warm, and effortless. Images you’ll return to again and again, long after the day has passed.

Judith Madrid Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the start, she was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in what mattered most to us, giving us total confidence that nothing would be missed. On the wedding day, she kept everything calm, organized, and fun—our groom and groomsmen even had a blast during portraits! Every photo is breathtaking, full of emotion, and perfectly tells the story of our day. We loved her so much that we decided she would capture all of our special moments—from engagement and wedding photos to maternity, newborn, and family mini sessions. Because of her talent, professionalism, and warmth, Judith is now our family photographer for life.

My name is Comfort and I am a Columbus based photographer who loves photographing real people being themselves! My style is authentic, vibrant and fun, and I pride myself in my ability to capture the spirit of every person and event that I photograph. The comment I hear most from my couples is that I am a calming presence on their wedding day and that my name is very fitting. Helping your wedding day run smoothly is just as important to me as capturing beautiful photographs for you.

Comfort is the best photographer we could've ever asked for. 5 out of 5 stars isn't enough. From the day we booked her it was truly a joy every step of the way. We dealt with numerous vendors and the best part about working with Comfort is how personable she was. It never felt uncomfortable or awkward and we looked forward to every interaction. As a person who doesn't love planned photo's she made it EASY and natural. Just allowed us to be ourselves and the photos are better than we ever imagined. On our big day she helped things run so smoothly to the point where it all felt perfect. I was highly stressed that we would be pulled in so many directions that it would be hard to balance BUT Comfort came with a plan and by the end of the night we didn't have 1 hiccup or issue. I Couldn't recommend Comfort Photography more. If we ever have the need for a photographer again we know exactly who we will be booking. Looking forward to that day.

Sophie was amazing from start to finish! In October 2024 we had our engagement session. It was great to connect with Sophie and get more of a vibe of her style. We were able to choose 2 locations that happened to be pretty far from each other, but both sentimental in their own ways! We also ended up including our kitty in engagement photos which Sophie was very excited and supportive of. We’re so grateful to have our kitty forever documented as an important part of our relationship! Sophie was so fun to work with and cemented our choice to choose her as our wedding photographer. Then in July 2025 we got to see Sophie again for our wedding day! She was great leading up to the day — helpful in so many ways and also was open to our needs and wants. On the day of the wedding, we met her second photographer who was also great! Obviously as the client we aren’t able to make decisions and final calls regarding the second photographer. However, Sophie is a great judge of character so I knew that her choice would make sense for our vibe — and it absolutely did! Our families and wedding party loved meeting and chatting with both Sophie and her 2nd. They were a welcome addition to our special day. Sophie also brought a digital camera so that my bridesmaids could also capture certain aspects of our day in fun-early-2000s-style photos! My girls LOVED this and we loved how quickly we got those photos back. As with any wedding day, ours was not without ‘hiccups’. Our major hiccup was the unpredictable rain that day! From getting caught in the rain to moving the ceremony inside last-minute, Sophie did a great job of rolling with the punches and working with all our vendors to ensure things went as smoothly as possible. As for the photos, we are in LOVE with how everything turned out. It was hard to only pick a few for this review! We were looking for bright and airy photos that were authentic to the real-life experience. We got exactly that! We were also pleased with the mix of candid photos and posed. Sophie made sure that we had the traditional moments captured and the authentic lived experiences forever documented. I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie or even hire her again! She continues to be a welcome addition to our loved ones and we can’t wait to follow her work for years to come. If you’re looking for authentic and beautiful candids, group shots, portraits, and detail shots, look no further. Sophie does it all.
