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.

Tessa blew our expectations out of the water! She was an absolute gem on our wedding day! You can tell that photography for Tessa is so much more than a job. She is truly invested in each couple and wants your wedding to day to be everything you wished and more! Tessa was a great planner/communicator before the wedding day. She had a great questionairre that helped us plan the photos we wanted on the day. She was extremely fast to edit our photos! I think we received them one week after our wedding! She also created a montage video of all of our pictures which was the perfect way to show all of our friends and families our wedding photos! I was so impressed with her work. Especially our reception pictures were the best I've probably ever seen (reception photos I feel like are the most difficult to capture but she nailed it!) Our portraits were stunning! The small moments that meant the world to us, she captured. I love Tessa's style and creativity. She is incredibly talented and was amazing to work with! Highly recommended!

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 could not recommend a better photographer to capture your special moments! Katie goes above and beyond time and time again. You can tell that her photographer is truly her artwork. From her props, to her editing, to all the small details, she puts nothing but love into the pictures she takes. My elopement was a dream come true because of the work Katie put into our special day. She did our floral arrangements and really exceeded all my expectations. And I cant forget to mention, she is such a ray of sunshine to work with and a pleasure to have along on your big day!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

My wife and I hired Julia for our wedding in 2022, and we couldn't recommend her enough! She was communicative throughout the entire planning process and was exactly where she needed to be on the day without taking away unnecessary time and attention, letting us experience our special day to the fullest. Her experience shows in both the quality of her work and the support she provides on the day. She checked in with us and showed us photos after scheduled shoots, and even guided us to an isolated spot for an intimate moment together after she noticed we could use a breather before getting back to the festivities. Our photos arrived promptly and perfectly encapsulated our day. Every photo was stunning and not a single moment was missed. Julia was, without a doubt, the best hiring decision we made for our wedding - we couldn't recommend her enough!

What started as a spontaneous purchase in 2019—a $50 camera from eBay—turned into a dream I now get to live every day. Not long after picking up that camera, I won an award, showed work in galleries, and was published. With years of encouragement from others, I eventually made the leap to full-time photography—and I’ve never looked back. Weddings are where everything I love about photography comes together. I get to witness and capture the best moments from every angle—those quick glances, bursts of laughter, and quiet emotions that pass in a heartbeat.

Photos By Michael U were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the start, Michael was kind, and patient, taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted. His communication was specific and thoughtful, and he brought a beautiful, personalized experience to our wedding. The quality of his work was impeccable, and he provided great value at an affordable price. I didn't have to worry about a thing, as Michael thought of every detail and went above and beyond my expectations. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our wedding day.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

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.
