As the preferred photographer at several Columbus wedding venues, we talk to a lot of bridal couples who are searching for a photographer to capture their big day. Sometimes it turns out that we’re not available for their date, but we usually go ahead meet with those couples anyway just to pass on some helpful tips on how to choose the right wedding photographer.

Why do we take the time to meet with bridal clients even if we know there’s no chance of us shooting their wedding? Pay attention here, brides and grooms… This is important. The photographer you choose for your wedding day will be with you on your special once-in-a-lifetime-fairytale day more than anyone… More than your mom, more than your friends, and more than your partner. If you find your photographer annoying, guess what? That irritation is going to be reflected in every picture from your wedding day!

So, with that in mind, here is a list of questions and tips that we offer to every bridal couple we meet with:

After the ceremony, we stole away with them to the Franklin Park Conservatory where we were able to get a variety of both fun and poignant photos before heading back to the reception. Here is a preview of some of our favorites…

We shot the first of what’s shaping up to be a busy wedding season this weekend. The event was at one of our favorite Columbus wedding venues – the lovely Bar of Modern Art (BoMA). While we have a ton of wedding photos to sort through, here is a sneak peak at Jen & Dan’s big day…

It’ll be a few weeks before Jen & Dan’s photos from the event are ready, but the ones we took at their mini-studio and printed on-site for all their guests are just as fun to look at. Who needs a photo booth at their wedding reception when you can have a professional photography studio?

For their engagement shoot, Natalie and Joe wanted something as fun as they are, so we spent a couple of hours following them with our cameras as they enjoyed the Columbus Zoo. These are definitely some of our favorites of all our engagement shoots, so we can hardly wait for their wedding day…
