Captured Photography

Athens, OH
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

I'm Abby. I am first and foremost a good-timing, sweater-wearing, dog-obsessed photographer. I'm a lover of all things Ohio, especially the Buckeyes. I am a wife to the smartest person I know (my co-photographer Caleb) and dog mama to our pride and joy - a Bernese Mountain Dog named Brutus. I am a believer in miracles, explorer of our planet, and fan of local taco trucks. My passion is and has always been people and their stories. Let's create some memories!

Abby is the most fabulous photographer I have ever met! Her bubbly energy, organization, and infectious enthusiasm made our wedding the special day that it was. She somehow captured every moment perfectly, encapsulating not only the bridge and groom, but the joy, family, and friends around them. If you haven't booked Abby as your wedding photographer already, run and do so ASAP.

Athens, OH
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

I'm a wedding photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. Over the past 6 years, I've had the honor of working with some incredible couples, telling their stories and documenting their deepest connections. To me, love is a powerful force — it draws me in, and fuels my passion for storytelling. Whether it's the moment you and your love say "I do" or the quiet, tender moments in between, I'm here to capture it all. Not just because these moments are beautiful, but because they're profoundly meaningful.

Drew and his team were amazing to work with. We are a bit of a scatterbrained couple and he helped keep us focused and on task. We're not overly comfortable in front of a camera and Drew kept us laughing and goofing around. It made the entire experience so much fun and memorable. He helped me plan a (somewhat) spur of the moment celebration in the middle of my wedding. Him and his team completely went with it and even gave us ideas and suggestions about how best to go about everything. 10/10 would absolutely recommend hiring him for your photo needs.

I'm Columbus-born but now I live with my husband, Matt, and our dog, Amber, in the small town of West Lafayette. We've been married for two years and enjoy being with friends and family, vacationing and wine tasting. I've been a photographer for 7 wonderful years and have specialized in weddings for 5 of them.

Love and Luxe Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Athens, OH

We are a husband and wife photography team. I have personally been in the wedding industry over 10 years and have photographed weddings all over the United States and Mexico. I spent the last couple years working as the lead photographer for another wedding company in the Pacific Northwest but my husband is now joining me in Ohio and we are branching back off into our own brand here locally. We are excited to capture these moments for all couples and are an inclusive company. Love is Love and love is great!!!

Working with Love and Luxe Photography was truly a wonderful experience for our wedding day. From the very beginning the photographer was incredibly responsive and available to us, even late at night when we had questions. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into her work, as the photos are absolutely beautiful and capture all the special moments of our big day. She went above and beyond her duties as a photographer - she was constantly checking in to keep us on track, made sure not to miss any important moments, and even helped with small tasks like fixing dresses and tying ties. As a person, she is caring, thoughtful, and genuinely wants your wedding day to go off without a hitch. While the turnaround time for the photos was a bit longer than expected, it's understandable given how invested she is in her craft. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience working with Love and Luxe and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and personable wedding photographer.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Serves Athens, OH

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

I want the bride to have photos where she feels beautiful, confident, and timeless. My main markets are Columbus Ohio, Palm Springs, California, Hawaii, and Florida, BUT I LOVE and am willing to travel farther.

I love telling your authentic story.

On the wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which really shows in the photos — every shot feels natural, joyful, and beautifully captured. The pictures are stunning, and we’re genuinely blown away by how they managed to preserve every emotion and detail so perfectly.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

I’ve been to many weddings, but none felt like this. From the moment she walked down the aisle, everything seemed perfect. The groom’s expression was full of awe, and the tiny moments, like their hands brushing nervously, made my heart ache in the best way. The flowers smelled heavenly, the sunlight streamed through the windows just so, and every face in the room reflected happiness. I couldn’t help but notice the quiet, loving glances they shared before speaking any words. When they exchanged rings, I felt tears slide down my cheeks. The reception was magical, with laughter echoing through the hall, and the first dance made everyone sigh in admiration. By the end of the night, I realized I had been part of witnessing something rare and beautiful a love that was real, tender, and unbreakable.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I had a dream of having head turning wedding photos but I wasn’t confident I was capable of having them because I don’t know to pose or act in front of the camera and Dani made it happen for us.

I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go.

She truly made us feel like the day was ours and that we were the guests of honor at our wedding and I can’t say enough great things. The pictures came back in less than 2 months which was the perfect time to go through and relieve the moments. We even received preview pictures early on to hold us over.

Mani and his team shot our wedding in Hocking Hills last year and it was simply amazing. The pics and the video was beautiful. The best part was the team being funny, cooperating, polite and did not rush us for anything. We will be hiring them soon.

From the moment we spoke with Angela, we knew we wanted her to be our photographer. She is incredibly friendly and responsive! We recently had our engagement shoot in NYC and she exceeded our expectations. Our pictures came out better than we could’ve imagined and she was such a joy to work with. Talking to her felt like talking to an old friend. We are so happy we found Angela and CANNOT wait for next year when she captures our wedding day! I’d hire her for any and all photo shoots if I could!
