Danielle Williams Photography

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.”

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 was wonderful; she was relaxed but detail oriented and interested in my vision while contributing her expertise. I really loved how the candid and “staged” shots I have seen in my sneak peek came out.”

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.”

“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.”

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!

“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!”

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!”

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!”

Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t. The way they captured every little moment, every emotion—it’s truly priceless. Joe and Ashley are not just incredibly talented at what they do, but they also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who genuinely care, are highly organized, and will capture your wedding day in the most perfect way possible, look no further.

Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some.
