Dayton, OH
  • Fine art style

HEY! I'm Claire I'm a wedding photographer located in Dayton, OH. (Cincinnati and Columbus areas are within my travel radius at no extra charge) I am an absolute SUCKER for love, so doing this job brings me immense joy. My approach to wedding photography is simple. I value connection in my work. I want my couples to feel comfortable and confident. If there is one thing I want my couples to know it’s that I care deeply about my work and couples. I artfully document love and find glimmers in everything around me. Romanticizing life in photos that are loved and loved in.

Claire was hands down one of the best parts of our wedding day and we are so thankful we chose her to capture our wedding memories! Claire is so talented - from candid moments to posed portraits, every image is beautiful and perfectly encapsulates our day and who we are as a couple. I was stressed about getting our photos done in time before our ceremony because I was running late after hair and makeup but Claire was so reassuring and calm and managed to get all of the shots we wanted. Claire kept me focused on the beauty of the moments we were capturing and helped keep me present in the moment rather than fretting about schedules, which I’m so thankful for. We have a lot of our wedding pictures framed in our home and we always get compliments on how beautiful they are! We loved working with Claire so much, she has since captured our maternity photos and our first family photos with our newborn son. We don’t trust anyone else with our most treasured moments!!! You will love working with Claire, she’s the best!

Tessa N. Brediger Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Dayton, OH
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300

I’m Tessa Brediger! I’m twenty-nine, living in Dayton, Ohio at the moment (but always moving thanks to the Air Force), married to my best friend Jake, a mom to the sweetest little boy named Will, and I’m a lover of: a good and smoky single malt Highland scotch, beautiful light, inclusivity, and punk rock (I never moved past my emo phase in high school). I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I don’t believe there’s a limit to the amount of pasta you can consume. I quote New Girl and The Good Place way too much. I have a lot of houseplants and always get sucked into buying more because I have no impulse control. I absolutely love, love.

We had the pleasure of working with Tessa for our engagement photos and on our wedding day! She helped us get a feel for what style of engagement photos we wanted and then got to work on researching locations for us. She found the perfect spot that offered various settings for lots of different looks. Fast forward to our wedding day-Tessa was super efficient, friendly, and worked great with our videographer. She was relaxed and calm which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. We got our gallery back in a timely manner and couldn’t have been happier with how she captured our day! We have received numerous compliments about the quality of her work. Overall, choosing Tessa as our photographer was a great decision and we wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Velvet Hour Photography is all about capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. I focus on real moments, real connection, and portraits that still feel effortless and beautiful. I want your photos to feel like your day ,not stiff, overly posed, or trendy in a way that won’t age well. I’m passionate about telling love stories honestly and giving couples images they can actually feel when they look back on them. Your wedding isn’t just a timeline to me, it’s a story, and I treat it like one.

and professional. She always wanted to make sure we were on the same page with style and what kind of photos we wanted. On our wedding day she acted almost as another coordinator to make sure we had everything we needed, and she also made sure we were always having fun. I've gotten so many compliments from our wedding guests and friends who have seen our photos. The photos she took were absolutely perfect, they were exactly what we were looking for and I feel like she captured the mood of the day and our love for each other beautifully!!! About 3 days after the wedding Alysa calls me to say she's finished our ENTIRE gallery, when I wasn't expecting anything until 8-10 weeks after our wedding date, which I think is what our contract said! I was hoping for a few sneak peeks within a week but she worked overtime because she was proud of her work and wanted to share it with us. Her artistry and drive to share her art was so admirable and we couldn't be more grateful!! I've booked another small photo shoot with her for some more professional photos because I trust her and the way she views things through her lens. I would hire Alysa time and time again for our wedding photos, as well as literally any other photography work we would need. She's a true artist and an absolute joy to work with!

The Daydreamer Diaries

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Dayton, OH

I’m a hardcore believer in documenting and capturing memories in their most authentic form, as you would write about in your diary in words to remember forever. Your life is worthy of being captured with absolute authenticity and boldness. Your existence is timeless, yet so completely unique. Humans are complex and incredible, and my craft is driven by the deep love of the human experience.

I can’t put into words how incredible our experience with Katie was. We knew she would deliver beautiful images after seeing her portfolio, but from our first interaction with her it was clear she goes above and beyond in every interaction. She was amazing to work with. She knew how to navigate working with EVERYONE and she made the entire process a breeze. My pictures from that day are worth their weight in gold and I have never seen a photographer articulate people and their stories the same way Katie does. I cannot recommend her enough. She has a beautiful soul and it shows.

  • Serves Dayton, OH

Photography and design in Dayton, Ohio. Storytelling. Let’s go adventure. It really is a gift to have so many lovely couples on my books every year. I have been capturing families, seniors, and weddings for a little over 4.5 years. I’m a sucker for those “we just got married” smiles. Marriage, joy, food, lots of cute little ones running around; what’s not to love.

From our first conversation with Hailey, we knew we had found our photographer. Hailey was organized and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process, creating a detailed schedule and problem-solving whenever questions came up. What really stood out was how she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though we're both pretty shy about photos. She had a calm, easygoing way of communicating that made us feel heard and understood. On our wedding day, Hailey added personal touches that made our photos feel like us, and her guests felt so at ease around her that everyone looked genuine and happy. The final images are professional and beautifully detailed—we couldn't have asked for better.

I can't even imagine doing life without photographs. My camera has been a permanent accessory for me since eighth grade and getting to document life events is one of my greatest joys.

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.

Lacie and Tim are just the most amazing photographers (and people). They met up with us in Montana to shoot our elopement photos ahead of our shooting our wedding reception in Indiana. They are both so friendly and fun and Lacie has such great instincts. She and Tim surveyed glacier national park for great photo ops the day before we met. When we met some cloud cover in the park Lacie made a great call to pivot and get some amazing sunset photos on the lake which were stunning. While we drove around the park it felt like we hanging out with our good friends which made it all the more fun and the photos more authentic. Both Lacie and Tim were so helpful and kind, and our photos both in Montana and Indiana are everything I’ve ever wanted! Would hire/will hire them again and again!
