“Meg and Jj were photographers for our wedding and we can honestly say if they were not vendors they would have ended up on our guest list! We found Megnolia Photos about a year out from our wedding and each time we met with Megan and Jj , they were so enthusiastic about the event, the requests we made, the details of the day, and EVERYTHING else. From multiple FaceTime calls to discuss our vision, to creating Pinterest mood boards together for our wedding Megan and Jj continued to show how passionate they were about photography and capturing the timeless moments from our special day. Throughout the wedding day, guest would even come up to us constantly to complement the professionalism, skill, and engagement Megan and Jj had the entire day! The 150 guest who attended our wedding and my Husband and I have nothing but the best things to say about our experience with these two. Once receiving our sneak peak photos and our full gallery, we were both brought to tears from seeing how every moment was captured beautifully - happiness and joy could be seen in every photograph. We are now almost at the 5 month mark from our event and I cry every time I look at our gallery because of this. Megnolia Photos is a full on 6/5 star vendor to work with, as both Megan and Jj are definitely vendors turned friends to us. I will forever be a cheerleader to their business. BOOK THEM!!”

Just me, the hubs, and the oh so beautiful mountains. *Sigh*…I’d love to call that place home. What’s your story? I’d love for you to tell me! My favorite thing about this job is connecting, loving, and serving my clients. I try to make taking photos easy and fun for all involved.

“Lydia was amazing to work with. She was very professional from the first phone call. She was thorough in her questions and her photos are stunning. She gave clear guidance for posing and captured our wedding day beautifully. Her turn around time for pictures was quick! I would highly recommend Lydia for anyone getting married”

“Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.”

“We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience”

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.”

“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.”

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

“Jenna Rosalie Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! Their communication throughout the entire process was excellent - Jenna and her husband Brett were always responsive to our questions and made us feel like their top priority. The quality of their work was truly impeccable. Jenna went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect shots, even doing research ahead of time to scout the best photo locations for our intimate mountain elopement. She and Brett made our day so magical and we feel so blessed to have had them there to capture all the special moments. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that perfectly encapsulate our wedding day.”

Hey!! I'm Eden :) I am a documentary style wedding photographer who loves the unique, thoughtful weddings where people do what's true to them. I love my work to be a collaboration of ideas between me and my couples to create something truly special and meaningful to them. All of my best friends are past brides and fellow photographers, and I love getting to share in such an important season with so many amazing people every year. I've been diving into shooting film photos the past few years and love the element it adds to a final wedding gallery as well. I love getting to know who people are and letting that shine through the photos.

“Words cannot express the amazing work that Brittany did for our engagement photos. Her professionalism is unmatched, and I would recommend her 10/10 times. Her attention to detail is truly something to be admired, and I am so glad we chose Brittany for our engagement photos. She made the entire experience feel comfortable, fun, and stress-free, and the photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. If you're getting engaged or married or really any life changing event don't hesitate to book Brittany, you will not be sorry”

Hey there! We're Colleen and Amanda of Wild Embers Photography (formerly Rustic Light Photography). We are committed to ensuring you have the best experience ever that reflects your raw, unique, and wild love. We want to capture the wholly and unique YOU. We're your gals if you're into candid moments, raw emotion, and embracing spontaneity.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Wild Embers for both our engagement and wedding photos. Colleen and Amanda are not only incredibly talented photographers, but also just genuinely cool, kind people who made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera — no small feat for two people who don’t love being the center of attention! Their artistic eye and attention to detail are phenomenal. The editing is gorgeous — a thoughtful blend of timeless black-and-whites and bold, vibrant color palettes. Our fall engagement session and colorful wedding each had very different vibes, and they nailed both. The photos pop in the best possible way, and honestly… we didn’t think we could look this good! We’re based in Columbus and paid a bit extra to bring them in (hotel and travel), but even with that, the cost was still better than many other vendors we talked to — and absolutely worth every penny. They also made sure to capture the specific shots we asked for, which we really appreciated. We can't recommend Wild Embers enough. We'll definitely be reaching out again for any future milestone moments — anniversaries, maybe even family shoots down the line. Just a fantastic experience all around.”
