Amber was absolutely incredible to work with! We first connected via phone call and then set up our engagement pictures we had such a blast doing those! My now husband hates having pictures done but she made it fun and enjoyable. When it came time for our wedding Amber had asker me to send over my "must have" pictures during our wedding and she absolutely nailed it. She not only captured the pictures I wanted but did so much more if you are looking for a photographer for your special day look no further. We plan on having Amber as our future photographer for all of life's greatest moments and things changing in our family!

Hey there - I'm Kasidi! I am a graphic designer and photographer based out of the Dayton, Ohio area, that will travel anywhere love stories take me! I began my photography journey on a film camera my first year of college, and I've never put a camera down since. When I'm not capturing your special moments, you can find me traveling to a new place, or baking some new cake recipe I found on the internet.

Kasidi Meyers Design Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was thorough, clear, and specific, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Kasidi expertly guided us through all the photo sessions, keeping us on schedule but never making us feel rushed or stressed. The final photos are absolutely stunning - beautiful, effortless, and so clean. We had a second shooter during our ceremony, we are so glad they could capture more angles of the most special moment of it all! We are thrilled with the way Kasidi captured all the special moments of our day, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional photography team.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

We had our air bnb for a week and she had flowers and photos placed in there to make us feel at home. It was so sweet.

Hi I'm Sam! Congratulations on your engagement! What an exciting chapter in your life! When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me bossing my husband around and trying to keep up with my 3 wild children Kate, Jack and Luke. ​I am a natural light, true to color, documentary style wedding & portrait photographer, bringing a playful and authentic vibe to every session. I live for those candid, unscripted moments. When couples choose me to capture their big day, it’s a true honor—because once the celebration is over, the only thing left to relive those memories are your photos. Happy Planning ;)

My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.

This is your permission slip to be unapologetically yourself on your day. Let the deep belly laughs, worst dance moves, and shameless joy be out on display. You only get married once - you sure as heck better make it weird, memorable, and uniquely yours. You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get). Someone who cares enough to capture all the big moments, but the smaller ones in between too. If you want a supportive bestie as your wedding photographer, let's get to know each other more. Send me a message to learn more about what I offer!

As a venue manager and coordinator, Laura went above and beyond communicating prior to the wedding she had at our venue. Our venue is unique and family owned and operated. We have lots of spaces and places to create photographic magic and she did not disappoint. Her professionalism and ability to help the couple feel at ease was wonderful to work with and the photos at the end were amazing. We love having her and she is a preferred vendor for us.
