These two hired us just to take their engagement photos so they could send out their save-the-dates. Sometimes showing up, meeting for the first time and taking photos can be a bit awkward, uncomfortable or un-nerving. However, we didn't waste any time in getting to know them, or sharing an experience you might call bonding.
Read MoreSo here's a question that as Columbus Wedding Photographers, we never get asked, but if we did, we'd have a whole lot to say about it. What decor makes the most impact in photographs? First of all, thank you for asking. We're here to help! This is so you don't waste money on items that barely show up, but you can spend on things that truly make a difference.
Read MoreTim and I met Kaitlyn at a bridal show this year, so when we sat down for coffee to discuss their wedding photography, it was like a second date already. A double date. These two go together like peanut butter and jelly, like yin and yang, like us and Starbucks. Ok you get it. So as you can imagine photographing them together was easy.
Read MoreIt is no secret, we LOVE a good first look, and we mean L-O-V-E. For several reasons, one because you get to have your genuine moment together, without an audience, and you can say what you feel. Two, because it is often more emotional because at least one of you (cough, grooms, cough) isn't trying to fight back tears because of all the on lookers. And three, because it eases the nerves, tension and timeline. We can knock out your couples photos (or even bridal party) before the ceremony so that during cocktail hour you only have family left, and you actually get to enjoy your party. BUT...we digress, because believe it or not, this blog is about other options to a first look.

Derek and Brittany tied the knot on the most gorgeous July day, and there were SO many smiles! You could just tell their families' and their bridal party were just so happy for them and everyone was there to support them, usher them into a beautiful marriage, and celebrate!
Read MoreYou know how when you first met your spouse, you just "clicked"? Sometimes we have that with our couples. This year, it was Matt + Aimee. First of all, they were living in Florida at the time, but having a Columbus wedding, so for their consultation, we facetimed.
Read MoreHe explained his plan for the two of them, to propose near North Bank Park, and recreate a photo they'd had taken years prior (so sweet right?!). We decided together where the x would mark the spot so that Tim and I could stake it out, and be discreet all while getting a good view.
Read MoreAs we sit here in our office on a rare, wedding-less Saturday (at the time I'm writing this- maybe not when you read it), it is raining outside. I think of all the couples who are saying "I do" today and hoping they have a rain plan in place. Now we can't speak for your venues, videographers, or other outdoor team members, but at least for us, I can tell you we have a get-out-of-rain-free card.
Read MoreThese two are one of our favorite couples for 2019, we absolutely cannot wait for their wedding at Vue Columbus! I think we knew they we're "our people" when they described their beginnings as a couple.
Read MoreWe’ve heard the horror stories where the bride runs late to the ceremony, where the couple is taking photos too long and delays dinner, and when the first dance was held up because of a bustle. Luckily (and strategically) for us, we’re not part of those stories. Listen, we want you to enjoy your wedding day stress free, and to do that, we need to have time to breathe, and so do you.
Read MoreAs wedding photographers we usually don't meet the happy couple until after they've already gotten engaged, unless... the ask us to photograph the proposal.
Read MoreToni and Erin said their vows during their outdoor ceremony on a sunny April day. We we're so happy to be a part of their wedding and document all their memories. Of course we could never choose a favorite couple or favorite client, these two came very close!! We loved their playful relationship and how affectionate they are- it made it super easy to photograph them!

Read MoreThe funny thing about being a wedding photographer in Ohio is that we plan outdoor engagement sessions year round and well the weather here doesn't always cooperate. When Brittany + Derek said they'd like to do their engagement photo shoot at Ohio State in January, we knew we could really be in for anything, cold and barren, ice storm, negative temps or 3 feet of snow. They we're up for the challenge though and of course we never stray away from an adventure!
Read MoreWe cannot thank our clients enough for the amazing year we've had. We are so fortunate to do something we love each and every weekend and we know that wouldn't be possible without these awesome couples. We're super excited to get to 2018, but we can't do that until we brag a little more, one last time, about how cute, funny, stylish and passionate our clients are.
Read MoreWe are so excited to be photographing Erin + Toni's spring wedding at Watersedge in 2018!! We got to spend a little time with them last week before we all went home for the holiday! We wen't to Antrim Park for some fall foliage, but most of the leaves had turned from colorful to drab. That was totally okay though because their love warmed up every photo we snapped!
Read MoreOne of the perks of being Columbus wedding photographers is getting to know some of the best vendors in the wedding industry here. Another perk is getting to work in really awesome venues. So anyway...we recently participated in a styled shoot at the Columbus Museum of Art with some of Columbus' top wedding vendors. It was a beautiful day and the details were absolutely stunning. We actually just found out that this collaboration will be featured on Borrowed and Blue as well as Glittery Bride and we are SO excited!!
Read MoreWhen we met Solena and Aric at Stauff's in Grandview to discuss their Athletic Club of Columbus wedding and get to know them we were struck by how passionate these two were for each other. We talked for over an hour and kept telling little stories about each other and joking around. It was clear immediately how in love these two were and that their wedding was going to be a lot of fun!
