Eivans was great. They were very professional, affordable and on top of everything we asked. We had the upmost pleasure working with Raquel on our Wedding Day. She was AWESOME!

Columbus, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

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.

Brian does PHENOMENAL work. His attention to detail and artistic eye make for unique photo moments that you did know you needed. I’m so grateful to have had him as our wedding photographer!

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!

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!

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.

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

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!
