The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day.

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I tell you that my friends and family all commented on how breath taking our photos were, I am not exaggerating! My (now) husband and I had the best experience working with Connie. From our initial conversations, I knew she was the right photographer for us. She is super warm, creative, professional, and responsive. I let her know my vision and brainstormed ideas, and the end product was truly remarkable. My husband and I were both nervous that we would be awkward and stiff but Connie guided us through all the poses and we truly had so much fun. I highly recommend Latek Photography to any brides to be!

  • Serves South Salem, OH

I'm Bree - With over fifteen years of experience documenting love stories in Columbus, California & Hawaii as well as International when needed. I believe wedding photography should feel calm and grounding. My approach is guided, not always posed; present, not performative. I step in when needed and step back when moments deserve to breathe. Your wedding day isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. My role is to preserve the feeling of that day so it can be experienced again for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first moment I met Bree, she was such a sweeheart and we clicked immediately with her charismatic personality. My husband had been away at military training for our initial engagement shoot, but he ended up coming back earlier than expected. Bree was very flexible in rearranging our shoot and was eager to adjust to our scheduling. During wedding planning, she helped me create a day-of schedule that significantly helped with the wedding timeline. Bree is very experienced. She has years of experience that helped create a flawless timeline and schedule for us. During the wedding, Bree was ahead of schedule and took amazing photos of our families, friends, and guests. We had a surprise guest who she was able to fit in multiple photos, as we had not initially planned on him coming. She caught all the moments: funny, heartfelt, surprise, and cheerful. Bree is outstanding to work with, with a great communication style, proffesionalism and excellent work ethic. She is extremely talented, and all her photos are perfect in any lighting or weather. In her work, she goes above and beyond. For our wedding, my husband and I got over 700 photos back within a week and a half, and an extremely fast turnaround time. I would recommend Bree Lea 100% as she is a 5-star photographer with 5-star service. If you are scrolling, don't look any further, you have just found the best wedding photographer in Columbus!!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We’re Sandra and Nichole – two Gemini sisters ready to document your love story. Our vibe is romantic, modern, and timeless. We're a perfect blend of editorial and documentary. We bring your vision to life on both digital and film.

Awarded Best of Zola
It took me months to come up with the words to describe our experience with the Gemini girls because perfection just didn't seem like enough. From day one these ladies were not only easy to communicate with, but even better, they were so much freaking fun. We never had an encounter that wasn't filled with laughter and genuine friendship. And while they got down to business when they arrived on the day of the wedding, they were still full of energy that every single one of us fed off of. When things started to veer off schedule, they always got things back to running smoothly. And when I panicked because I didn't have my vows for my first look, Nichole calmly reminded me that I was going to see my dad first and didn't need my vows yet (oops, lol). As if having them around on our perfect day wasn't enough itself, they are also incredibly talented, have an amazing eye and provided us with the most stunning pictures that we will cherish forever. If you want top tier photos of your wedding day while working with a team that is fun and down to earth but will work their butts off for you.. these are your girls. Sandra, Nicole and Amanda.. we love you and can't thank you enough.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

Your wedding should be a stress-free and joyous celebration! And to capture all the love and life and happiness, your photographer should be focused on the emotions of the day, not only the pretty centerpieces. At Mischief and Laughs Photography, we believe that the important things aren’t the things at the wedding, but the people – your families, your friends, and most importantly the person you are about to marry. We carry this love for love into every wedding we photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Cara and can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was flexible, easygoing, and genuinely wonderful to be around. We had a few plan changes along the way, and Cara handled everything with total grace — no stress, no pressure, just support. On the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable and special. Neither of us are naturals in front of a camera, but Cara made everything feel relaxed and fun, and it shows in the photos. We felt truly taken care of. One thing that meant a lot to us: during a time when finding vendors for a Jewish wedding can feel a little nerve-wracking, Cara didn’t blink twice. She was completely open, respectful, and excited to be part of our day, which made us feel so at ease and so grateful. And the photos are stunning. She captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day perfectly — we love them so much. If you want a photographer who is talented, kind, flexible, and deeply invested in her couples, Cara is the one. We’re so thankful we found her. — Molly & Andrew

At Last Vow Studios, we don’t just document weddings. We craft legacy. Cinematic films. A refined blend of documentary and editorial photography. Professional DJ services to complete your wedding day experience and truly design the shape and energy of your day. We bring together artistry and expertise to deliver in a way that feels elevated, emotional, and enduring.

Working with S&LM was pretty good. They communicated to me closer to the event, and asked me for everything they needed and more. The pictures I have seen so far look great, and the small video I have seen looked good as well. They made sure I got almost all of the specific photos I wanted, and had a take-charge attitude while photographing, and making sure everyone was in the right place and looking great! The DJs were pretty good, but didn't know all the specific songs we mentioned that we wanted played for certain dances/moments. They also didn't announce the first dance until they were hitting the play button, which threw our choreography off until we asked them to restart! Unfortunately, some people missed our dance because they didn't know that it was happening. It still worked out in the end, and all the right songs were played at the right moments. All in all, I would definitely recommend Lights & Sound Media to prospective couples.

There’s something incredibly moving about witnessing couples exchange vows in meaningful places, surrounded by those they love most. Capturing those genuine, emotional moments is truly what drives me.

Christy Gibson is a visual storyteller whose work is rooted in emotion, and memories. As an adopted child, Christy grew up questioning her identity, finding solace and meaning in the stories of her family and stories of others. Over time, documenting moments became not just a passion, but an obsession. Her journey took a personal turn when she lost her mother, grandmother, and aunt to the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

From our initial meeting, pre-wedding meeting and all the emails in between, Christy was professional and clear, which set me at ease. I was able to give her my direction and she made me feel confident that she had the vision and would execute what we needed for our photography.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning.

I'm a Cincinnati wedding photographer who recently moved here from Phoenix. I live here with my kickass wife and our equally kickass dog. I got into photography after going to school for and working in the film industry. I love playing basketball, petting dogs' bellies, and hanging with the people I love. If there's a tasty treat involved, all the better.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Aaron's photos are worth 1 million! We are so grateful to have worked with Aaron for our wedding this November! From our first email and meeting to the big day itself, he was one of our favorite vendors to work with and did a phenomenal job capturing the emotions of the day. Aaron (and his pup!) did a fantastic job answering all of our questions during our initial meeting. He immediately got the style we wanted for our photos and was a great brainstorming partner in the lead up to the wedding. We were able to work with him to create an in depth shot list that made getting all of our must-have photos a breeze the day of our wedding. And while those were gorgeous, the candid photos ended up being our favorites! Aaron and his second shooter (also Aaron!) captured incredible candid shots throughout the day that are nothing short of breathtaking. From the goofiness of our pre-ceremony shots with family and the wedding party to poignant family moments while we got ready, they captured every moment beautifully and absolutely represent the warmth and love of the day. The framing and lighting in each shot were perfectly chosen—you can feel the emotions in each photo like you are there! As someone who has worked with a number of photographers throughout the years for work and events, I can honestly say that Aaron is the best photographer I have had a pleasure of working with. Do not hesitate to work with him—he is truly best!

My friend couldn't stop raving about Atavia Weddings, so we reached out to them for our wedding day. From our first conversation, they were responsive and easy to work with, answering all of our questions without making us feel rushed. On the day of the wedding, they moved around seamlessly and captured the moments that actually mattered to us - the quiet laughs between my spouse and me, our families coming together, and all the details we spent months planning. Their photos turned out stunning and felt like they really told our story. We've already told several people getting married to book Atavia Weddings, and we genuinely think you should too. Highly recommend.
