I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day.

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

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

Danielle Williams Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (17 reviews)
Columbus, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

Sophie was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is so fun, funny, and real—just an absolute joy to be around on a day that can otherwise feel hectic. What really drew me to her was her background in the arts and the fact that she’s truly skilled in photography—not just someone with a camera, but a real artist. Her style is so refreshingly authentic; the photos aren’t overly edited or forced. Instead, she captured our day exactly as it felt—joyful, emotional, and real. Every photo tells a story, and flipping through them feels like being right back in those moments. We’re beyond grateful to have had someone so talented, genuine, and down-to-earth document the happiest day of our lives.

Melchy Hill Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Columbus, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $995

Columbus Ohio Wedding Photographer | Stress-Free Timeline Planning + Candid Storytelling I've always had a love of storytelling—it's why I fell in love with photography. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll still find me behind my camera creating short films. My work has been featured at Gateway Theater for the 48 Hour Film Festival and Studio 35 for 3 Weeks of Terror. There's an incredible rush watching your film on the big screen and hearing the audience's reactions—I bring that same cinematic passion & energy to capturing your wedding day. I'm extremely passionate about what I do, and I hope you can see that when viewing my images.

Melchy provided exactly the wedding photography services we were looking for: minimalist, using natural light, and adaptable. She was very familiar with our venue of Franklin Park Conservatory, and was able to choose locations, times, and methods that made the entire process efficient not only for us, but all of our family members and wedding party members, as well. She was very understanding and accommodating of sensitive family dynamics and made the family wedding portraits run smoothly and easily. She was even able to change the location of the photos at the last minute to a different area that was both beautiful and cut down walking distance in order to accommodate family members who found walking difficult. Within the first few minutes of speaking with Mel, we felt like we had known her for years. And by the time our wedding actually rolled around, Mel felt more like a guest and friend than a vendor. She even sent us previews of our wedding photos within hours of our reception ending! Amazing. We were very pleased with our entire experience with Melchy and would gladly recommend her to all those looking for a professional, kind wedding photographer. You will be in excellent hands!

These are your first days of what you'll build a family & life around - - days of grandeur that you'll share with those you love most for decades to come. The stories you tell and the story that is yours is important. Marriage is worthy of celebration and deserves print. Nothing of what you're doing in preparation of this wedding will last longer than tangible documentation of it. It's a preservation of why you're doing what you're doing. Your first heirloom piece is here for you. You deserve it. Few things are more radical than joining your life with another person on paper- - it's a proposition of vulnerability and that is radical.

AMAZE BALLS!! Brian is simply a genius. He was so much fun to work with and did a great job capturing amazing moments during our engagement shoot and wedding. We choose him because of his amazing work, but he blew every expectation out of the water.

We take photos you can feel, and that feel like you! We get to know YOU! We take care of you, first! You genuinely get to live and enjoy your day, the way you want to! Then, our photos get to bring you back to relive it! ALL the real moments, feelings, personalities, love, connection, energy! All the things that make you and your day truly yours, and worth remembering! You're way more interesting than some lifeless pose or stiffly staged moment! The real stuff will always be timeless!

Chris and Jess were absolutely incredible as our wedding photographers! From the moment we met them, we knew we were in excellent hands. They have such a natural talent for capturing not just the big moments, but all the little details and emotions that make each wedding unique. Our photos turned out better than we ever imagined. Chris and Jess somehow managed to be everywhere at once - capturing candid laughter during the ceremony, the tears of joy during our vows, and all the spontaneous moments throughout the reception that we might have otherwise missed. The quality of their work is outstanding, and you can tell they truly care about telling each couple's story through their lens. What impressed us most was how comfortable they made everyone feel. Our families and wedding party were completely at ease, which really shows in the natural, genuine expressions they captured. They worked seamlessly together as a team and were so professional throughout the entire process. These photos will be treasured memories for the rest of our lives, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We wholeheartedly recommend Chris and Jess to anyone looking to capture their special moments - whether it's a wedding, engagement, or any other milestone worth celebrating. They don't just take photos; they create lasting memories that you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Chris and Jess, for helping us preserve the magic of our wedding day!

Native Light Photography

Columbus, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

A little about me: When I'm not traveling the world with my camera, I’m at home in Columbus, Ohio, watching The Office, at the gym or playing video games. I’m a self-proclaimed plant geek, 100% extrovert, and a nerd who enjoys laughing loudly and making others laugh loudly, too (which usually means inappropriate jokes or meme references).

We could not be happier with Native Light's wedding photography! The incredible photos speak for themselves, but Caroline's kindness makes it worth writing a review. Caroline was talented, professional, efficient and such a joy to be around throughout the whole process. We look at our wedding photos frequently and we are immediately taken back to the emotions of each moment. Forever thankful!

I also want you to have the best day ever so I work closely with you to ensure we make a schedule that's perfect and that we have SO much fun! More fun, less stress = amazing pictures.

We were absolutely thrilled with Asteria Photography for our wedding! Caroline was a dream to work with - her communication style was attentive, flexible, and dedicated every step of the way. She made sure she understood exactly what we envisioned for our big day and helped us craft a timeline to capture all the special moments, both big and small. When we got our photos back, we were blown away - the images were simply stunning, with an ethereal and timeless quality that perfectly reflected the joy and magic of our wedding. Caroline has an incredible eye for composition and lighting, and a passion for her work that comes through in every shot. If you're looking for elite, top-notch wedding photography with images that will take your breath away, I can't recommend Asteria highly enough. Caroline felt like family by the end of our wedding day - that's how invested she was in making sure she preserved all our cherished memories. We'll treasure these photos forever!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!
