Columbus, OH
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,600

I’m Othman, a luxury wedding photographer in Columbus, Ohio and the artist behind Barghash Photography. I’ve been a photographer since 2012 and specializing in weddings since 2018, capturing celebrations with an elegant, timeless, and true-to-color style. My approach blends genuine moments with an editorial touch, preserving your day exactly as it felt.

“We hired Barghash Photography for our wedding and couldn't have made a better choice. Othman and his team were punctual, responsive, and easy to work with from our first conversation through delivery of our photos. What impressed us most was how he really listened to what we wanted and captured every detail that mattered to us. The editing was incredibly fast—we had our photos back in no time—and the quality of the work exceeded what we were expecting. Othman kept things light and fun on the day of the wedding, which helped us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We'd recommend Barghash Photography to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers both stunning images and genuine care.”

These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

“Michaela and I got married on September 6, 2026 at The Madison in Cleveland, and booking Sean was one of the best decisions we made. Before the big day, Sean checked in with several times, making sure our vision would come to life. His attention to detail during these touch points was so appreciated. He did a great job of condensing the things that both my wife and I wanted.  On the day itself, Sean was calm, professional, and genuinely easy to be around. He had a way of making us feel comfortable, so nothing felt stiff or overly posed. He kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed, and he seemed to be everywhere at once. Our guests loved him too! He went out of his way to make sure we got every family photo we wanted, which took a LOT of stress off of us. Family photos can get chaotic, and he handled it like a pro. When we got the gallery, we were blown away. The first look, the toasts, the sunset photos, the dance floor, he nailed every single one. The editing is perfect, but what really got us is that the photos tell the story of our day from start to finish. He caught moments we didn't even know happened, and we've already gone through the whole gallery more times than we can count. If you're looking for a photographer, book Sean. You won't regret it. Thank you, Sean, for giving us memories we'll have forever!”

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.

“From the first moment I met Bree, she was such a sweeheart and we clicked immediately with her charismatic personality. My husband had been away at military training for our initial engagement shoot, but he ended up coming back earlier than expected. Bree was very flexible in rearranging our shoot and was eager to adjust to our scheduling. During wedding planning, she helped me create a day-of schedule that significantly helped with the wedding timeline. Bree is very experienced. She has years of experience that helped create a flawless timeline and schedule for us. During the wedding, Bree was ahead of schedule and took amazing photos of our families, friends, and guests. We had a surprise guest who she was able to fit in multiple photos, as we had not initially planned on him coming. She caught all the moments: funny, heartfelt, surprise, and cheerful. Bree is outstanding to work with, with a great communication style, proffesionalism and excellent work ethic. She is extremely talented, and all her photos are perfect in any lighting or weather. In her work, she goes above and beyond. For our wedding, my husband and I got over 700 photos back within a week and a half, and an extremely fast turnaround time. I would recommend Bree Lea 100% as she is a 5-star photographer with 5-star service. If you are scrolling, don't look any further, you have just found the best wedding photographer in Columbus!!”

She does a great job keeping the energy up and keeping things moving to make sure you get all the photos YOU want! Im horribly awkward in photos and she gives great advice/direction to make you look and feel comfortable in photos. Even her second photographer and videographer were incredible! Not only that but she gets you photos back less than 24 hours after the wedding so you have something to share immediately. And turned around all our photos in a month!!

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!

“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.”

“King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!”

You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get).

This journey began for me in 2013 when I was asked to shoot a close friend's wedding after I bought my first professional camera. In 2016, I expanded my love of beauty by adding wedding and special event makeup to my list of services. Most of the people I work with are not used to being in front of the camera or do not wear a lot of makeup. That's where my over 10 years of experience comes in handy to make sure that you don't just look beautiful, you feel beautiful!

“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.”

For me, I love the feeling I get when I know I captured that special moment for you and your family... knowing it will last forever.

“Sugar N Spice Photography was exceptional from start to finish. They communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work was incredibly professional, and their pricing was very reasonable for the level of service they provided. They went above and beyond on our wedding day - not only did the photographer meet with us beforehand to help plan out our timeline and photography wishes, but she also brought an emergency kit with her that came in handy when a few unexpected issues came up. When some last-minute delays occurred, she helped keep us calm and on track. We were so impressed by her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile.

Welcome to Keith Dixon Photos, where candid moments meet artistic storytelling in the heart of Columbus, Ohio! I'm Keith Dixon, proposals, weddings, engagements, and elopements. That is what I love to capture. In a world saturated with stiff and posed photography, I offer a refreshing approach. My style is a blend of candid and documentary, with just the right touch of direction to ensure your images are as authentic as they are stunning. No awkward poses, just genuine moments captured in the most natural way.
