Awarded Best of Zola
We could not have asked for a better experience on our wedding day (and leading up to it!) Brad brought the right energy to our big day, and was prepared for anything that could and did happen. He was the one non-negotiable for me in the wedding process, and his presence and professionalism was well worth the investment. He brought joy, he brought efficiency in all we had hoped to capture, and he brought next level creativity. We barely noticed he was there during the events—true expertise in the profession. Thank you again, Brad for being a part of the best day of our lives and documenting every detail for us to relive again and again!

Let’s go back to the beginning..I picked up my love of photography from my dad. He was always carrying a camera around and wanting to do everything he was doing, I started photography in high school and quickly realized that I never wanted to put my camera down! I love exploring new places and jumping on every travel opportunity possible, so if you’re thinking about having a destination wedding or getting your engagement or senior photos done somewhere new, what are you waiting on? Let’s go! I’m always ready for a new adventure!

Haley made the process of working together very easy and it felt like a true collaboration. She was as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. I’ll be honest, I’m very Type A and I had high expectations for our wedding photos. That was why we decided to hire the best photographer our budget allowed. However, the photos that Haley produced blew even my wildest expectations out of the water! I am in awe of how filled with love and light the photos are. The most candid, intimate moments, captured artfully. If you’re a bride looking for the best veil photos, Haley’s eye for detail is astounding!

Hillary Ferguson Photography

Columbus, OH
  • Classic style

Ever since I was a child I knew that this was what I was meant to do! As the years passed I've followed my passion for photography and created a full time job that I love. I'm a people person, I love animals (pets are more than welcome to any shoot), I'm a sucker for two people who are crazy about one another and strive to capture that perfectly in every session. Your photos matter to me as much as my own. I still get butterflies before I shoot a wedding because I care and I want everything to go smoothly on your big day. I've been known to play the therapist, seamstress and anything else I can help with that may arise your wedding day!

We CANNOT, nor will we EVER be able to recommend Hillary enough. She is the LOVELIEST and FUNNIEST photographer and all-around most wonderful person you will ever meet, and it's been a pleasure to work with her. To now, she has photographed our engagement, wedding, and our first anniversary. From the start, we knew we'd never use another photographer besides her ever again. She is HILARIOUS and SO SWEET, and even more than that, she is AMAZING at what she does!!!!! Her work speaks for itself -- It's absolutely incredible. We always cry when we first view any photos she's taken for us. You CANNOT go wrong with Hillary - She is just the best there is, and you'll thank yourself over and over and OVER again for choosing her.

We create the bold, beautiful, and creative. And provide a photography experience you'll never forget! We’re a husband & wife team who loves real conversations, passionate love, exciting adventures, belly laughs, dogs, tacos, beer, and, of course, beautiful photos. From a first meeting over a cold beer, to supporting during your planning, to celebrating you before, during, and after your wedding day, we’re here to create an experience unlike any other.

Choosing Erica as our photographer for our wedding was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Erica made the entire process seamless while also providing great advice and insight into other aspects of our wedding day we hadn’t even thought of! Erica set up different pricing options for us, allowing us to pick what was best for the small ceremony we had. Erica and her husband, Antonio, were professional and made us feel so comfortable being photographed. We wanted them to capture the candid moments of our small wedding and asked that our day didn’t feel entirely staged for photos, They did that beautifully. The photo reveal process was intimate and unique despite Covid and was the perfect way to look back on our wedding day. We cherish our photos and would highly recommend Erica for her services. I look forward to working with her again as our future unfolds.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Hey there! I got our USB! This is the coolest USB I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! I wanted to reach out again to tell you that you and Jed are two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. From the moment you messaged me on Facebook, you’ve been one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and I’m so thankful that I got the pleasure to have you photograph such a milestone in Greg and I’s lifetime. You both were incredibly patient and intuitive to our feelings and needs during the wedding which surpassed any expectations I could have set for a photographer. It’s apparent that you both genuinely love what you do and you both put your entire soul into each client(s) you take on. I received so many compliments from my guests regarding how professional you both were as well. I can’t begin to describe how beautiful these photos are. You put life into all of my visions for the wedding and made them into such pieces of art.

This is your permission slip to be unapologetically yourself on your day. Let the deep belly laughs, worst dance moves, and shameless joy be out on display. You only get married once - you sure as heck better make it weird, memorable, and uniquely yours. You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get). Someone who cares enough to capture all the big moments, but the smaller ones in between too. If you want a supportive bestie as your wedding photographer, let's get to know each other more. Send me a message to learn more about what I offer!

Laura is our wedding photographer. I had booked her in 2021 - and she took our engagement photos that summer of 2022. We had to post pone our wedding a year and she was so easy and adaptable. She has answered all my questions and she also has helped me prepare for our big day. She’s witty, kind and her photography only grows every year. I am so excited for June of 2024 to finally have the wedding photos I’ve always wanted. Grateful to have such a wonderful Ohio photographer willing to capture our big day and offer input and guidance as we get through such a hectic time.
