Natalie Kathryn Photo

  • Serves Columbia, KY

HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.

James Crowley 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Columbia, KY

One thing I have heard many of my clients say is that I made them feel comfortable and relaxed during their wedding or session. It really makes sense because I enjoy what I do so much so that I usually have a "blast" with my clients. Being comfortable is essential to getting great shots, and I strive to be myself and let clients be themselves as well! I realize that I'm not the photographer for everyone, and that's one reason I spend time getting to know my potential clients to find out what they want and need in their images. It really is important to me that we have a great professional connection. I love documenting life as it happens!

James is amazing to work with. He had very flexible schedules and turnaround time is very quick!

Hey there, I'm Celeste – wife, mom, goat farmer, & your go-to elopement & wedding photographer! When I'm not chasing goats or herding kids (the human kind), you'll find me exploring the great outdoors – hiking, floating in lakes, road-trippin' like there's no tomorrow. Originally from Vermont, I've been around the block (and across the country), but nothing beats the magic of the Smoky Mountains. I'm living the dream in TN, capturing love stories all over WNC and East TN. Photography isn't just a job for me; it's my heart and soul. A Pisces by nature, I'm all about creative storytelling. I'm here to make your love story epic.

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Columbia, KY

I feel so honored to be a part of the most memorable moments in so many people’s lives. My desire as an artist is to create photos that are full of life and meaning and express beauty in an honest way. For this reason, I choose to photograph your wedding in an organic nature mixing film and digital photography. My career in the arts started in a more traditional setting, studying painting and drawing and I went on to graduate with a degree in Visual Communication. I do love all the mediums I’ve studied, but my true passion is photography. I have now worked as a photographer since 2010 and I am so blessed to be doing what I love.

Whether it be a wedding, corporate or professional headshots she will always deliver fantastic images. Her speed and turnaround time are also quick. Brittany will always bring quality to any job you throw at her. I refer her all the time to anyone looking for clear, artistic images.

We are Josh & Amanda French. We've been married for six years and held our ceremony in one of Kentuckys outdoor staples, Red river gorge. Simply put we love what we do! We are committed to capturing and making real photos with you. We know when to help pose and when to let the the natural smiles play out. We look forward to taking the journey with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I loved working with the Frenchs because they were super nice to me and everyone else in the wedding party (not just the bride and groom),but what I liked most about them was they went with the flow with no stress. Our wedding timeline got way behind and they handled it with ease and was never pushy or rushed. The delay or changes in the timeline did not phase them! They helped me keep everyone calm and that is important to a wedding planner and the bride and groom!

Hi there! I want to first say that I am pleased that you're here. I am happily married to my husband, Nick. Together, we have a little girl that we call Jojo. I have been a photographer for 5 years now, and my passion is wedding photography. I love to shoot during the golden hour and catch as many candid and timeless photos. If you don't see me with my family, you'll catch me at target or in the Dunkin' drive thru getting an iced coffee.

We had Angeliccaa at our venue for a wedding in July and she was amazing! So friendly and easy to work with. At one point I saw her on the dance floor holding a child dancing so I asked how long she had been friends with the family, and she responded she hadn’t met then before that day! That’s customer service for sure!! We look forward to the next time she’s back at our venue!

Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

Laurel Roots Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Columbia, KY

I'm Abbey a Northern Kentucky-based photographer who loves making a safe and comfortable space for everyone while we work together. Capturing those beautiful candid moments are some of my favorite shots. I can't wait to capture your special day so you can forever relive those magical moments.

Of all the good decisions my wife and I made during our wedding planning, of which there were surprisingly many, hiring Abbey and Wes with Laurel Roots Photography was the best one. Warning: Long, gushing review ahead. I am naturally suspicious of photographers owing to a lot of bad experiences. Being a guy probably adds to that; I don't think dudes are generally as comfortable being photographed as non-dudes. A lot of photographers I've experienced in the past have been super serious, love to make me do silly poses, and/or just don't do enough good work to be worth the cost, in my opinion. Photographers generally make me uncomfortable. Abbey and Wes could not have been more perfect for our wedding if they had meant to be. From the get-go, they were super communicative and easy to work with. We did our engagement photos super late in the game due to immigration constraints, and Abbey didn't stress about that at all. We scheduled with her easily, and when we had to reschedule and re-reschedule, she didn't mind at all. Both photo days were very easy and laid back. Abbey and Wes are very chill and open people. They're good at their jobs without being serious about it. They made the photoshoots fun, and for me that's a superpower. There were no goofy poses (except the ones we decided to do because we were comfortable around Abbey and Wes). I was very happy with our engagement photos and was actually looking forward to the wedding shoot. I do not exaggerate when I say that Abbey and Wes ran our wedding day for us. They gave us a timeline and made sure we got everything done on time. This is not an extra service we paid for, they just know their stuff and do their jobs well. I didn't really even appreciate it all until after the wedding when I realized they basically served as wedding coordinators for us without us asking them to. They took a ton of stress off of us and we didn't even know they were doing it. That's not all the extra work they did. Most people will just do the job you give them and take your check. I mean, that's what doing the job is. Not Abbey and Wes. The day of our wedding, they took time out of the day of their own initiative to drive around the city and find the perfect spot for photos. Again, this was not expected or requested, they just did it because they're awesome. I guess I just expected to take photos at the venue, but they got all the wedding party and family wrangled together and took us to a great spot in Covington I'd never seen. And the photos turned out fantastic. I know I'm biased, but they're seriously some of the best wedding photos I've ever seen, and we paid half of what my sisters paid for theirs. You know your photographers are good when your guests are talking about them during the reception. I seriously cannot recommend Abbey and Wes enough. I will use them for any and all photoshoots I ever need until the end of time. My wedding day was an amazing experience, and I owe a lot of that to Abbey and Wes. They went far above and beyond what we expected, and the memories we have from the wedding will last of a lifetime. Those memories wouldn't shine nearly so bright without such great photographers.

Blue Dahlia Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Columbia, KY for additional fees

My name is Rabeeh and I'm new to ZOLA (you can see over 250 reviews on my Knot profile). When I first started taking pictures, I can honestly say that I didn't plan on becoming a wedding photographer. Most other photographers I socialized with would tell me how stressful and demanding wedding photography could be. Over a decade and numerous weddings later, I must strongly disagree! I want you to relax, breathe deeply, and experience every moment of your wedding with as little worry or concern as possible. A little about myself, I am an easy going guy who enjoys numerous hobbies ranging from collecting antique cameras to the art of bonsai.

We used Rabeeh at Blue Dahlia for our recent wedding and were thrilled with our photos!! Rabeeh was awesome to work with. So patient and kind through the process and offered great suggestions. He allowed us to be ourselves and have fun with it, but also got the photos of our event that will allow us to remember the day perfectly 20 years from now! I would definitely recommend Blue Dahlia to anyone who is looking for that personal touch in their wedding photos and as a bonus he was also reasonably priced, as well, which we also appreciated!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our wedding photos!!"
