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. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. 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

Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part of the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results. We would highly recommend him for any event you may have coming up!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Kayla has such a gift for capturing the true energy of such a special day, really highlighting our natural selves and love for each other. She made us feel so comfortable and able to be ourselves, almost forgetting there was a camera recording us! When we got our video delivered, it was WAY beyond our expectations.

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 did a fantastic job with our wedding photos. From the start she was friendly, communicative and reliable. She knew our venue extremely well and had a great eye for where family portraits and first look could go. She deftly handled family dynamics, efficiently got everyone through portraits and took amazing pictures. You’re in excellent hands if you get to work with her! Thanks Melchy! We appreciate you!

  • Starts at $2,700

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!

  • Photojournalistic style

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!

Phew! Where to start? Well, hi! I'm Caroline. I've been shooting weddings for over TEN years (I know, right?) and I am OBSESSED. I put my heart and soul into my work and want to provide you with the best pictures possible. I want to capture all of the beautiful moments but I also want to capture all of the silliness, goofy smiles, tearful faces and well... all of the good stuff. 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.

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.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

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!
