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 did our wedding last July and we absolutely love the way she captured all the special moments of our big day! She was so easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure that the photos truly represent us and our relationship. As a bride, I know I can speak for other brides and say that we spend months and months buying decor, planning, Pinterest surfing and envisioning what our wedding day will look like. I knew the exact look and feel I wanted for our wedding and it was so important to me that the right “feel” would translate in the photographs (because after all, in the end photos are the best form of tangible memories we have).. and I feel Tessa really was able to do this for us! The way she captured the details were really beautiful. Her style is very natural and unposed, which allowed true and intimate moments of the day show through. Her passion for not only photography but for seeing others in love, showed through as she even teared up during our first look! She’s a very thoughtful and artistic photographer. She was also really quick to get our photos back to us! Thank you, Tessa, for being so wonderful! (Originally posted on The Knot)

From the moment we first reached out to Steel Halo Studio, their communication was clear, direct and to the point. The quality of their work and value was on-point, high quality, and perfect. They captured exactly what we were looking for, and we couldn't be happier with the photos that perfectly documented our special day. They had "sneak peaks" to us early the next day.

The Daydreamer Diaries 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,250
  • 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.

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

Heather and Andrew are just the best! Their communication is quick, clear and detailed. Heather makes sure to cover all bases and offers so many helpfully tips which is so nice when you have so many other things going on. We used them for our engagement photos and they were able to make a trip back out to us after we had to reschedule due to weather. The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos.

We had so much fun with them and I would highly recommend working with them for your big day.

  • Serves Dayton, OH

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Hi! We are Rob and Michelle, we are a couple in love! And our favorite thing to do is photograph other couples in love! We met in college and started dating very soon after, what started as a friendship turned into true love. Photography is our life and passion. We love photography in all of it's variety. When we are not photographing clients we love searching out unique spots for fine art photographs. Rob loves creating images of old churches, barns and landscapes and I love the little microscopic world that lives in the wildflower fields.

They were an amazing team and great at communication, and the quality of their work was truly outstanding and very professional. Rob and Michelle were so helpful beyond the scope of their work - they assisted with planning before and during the wedding, and helped us feel at ease when we were overwhelmed with other details. They were able to capture the essence of our day in such a beautiful and authentic way, and every photo tells a story. We can't stop looking through them! Masterworks Photography truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had an incredible wedding 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!

We met with Julia for the first time at a wedding show hosted by Rhinegeist Brewery. By the next morning she had already reached out to us and we started planning a date to meet to discuss wedding photography! She is absolutely fantastic and really made me feel comfortable with her during our initial meeting by taking time to answer any question I had, and helping explain her process to me. The first time I got to witness her in action was during my proposal. My fiancé reached out to her and she helped him plan a lot of it, which I was so grateful for! She has such a unique and mesmerizing artistic vision which I absolutely loved in my proposal. The pictures turned out even better than I could’ve imagined!! I’m awkward in front of a camera but I felt like I was able to be myself while she was there. Our Super 8 video made me cry when I saw it for the first time, it was everything I could’ve wanted and more! You can tell she really takes pride in what she does, and she’s the best at it!! I can’t wait for our engagement session and wedding. I know she’s going to do an absolutely incredible job! If you wanted a photographer who will really listen to, help, and make you feel comfortable in front of a camera, I definitely recommend Julia! She really is the best.

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.

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

My wife and I used Roman Photography's services for our wedding in 2015 - we absolutely adore the the photos. Our fun and family were captured beautifully. We loved the work so much, we contacted Roman again ten years later to do our anniversary photos. Roman came out and did another magnificent job. He kept things playful and light (we're both uncomfortable in front of the camera) but still professional. I can't recommend Roman Photography enough!

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.

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.
