We're Cohl and Abby, husband and wife photo/video duo! We're your one stop shop for wedding photography and videography! We seriously love our job and we think our work shows it! Your wedding day is immensely important to us, we hold ourselves to a very high standard and deliver only the best!

I hired Abby & Cohl after RAVING recommendations from a friend and what an amazing choice it was. Abby was so friendly and excited when we were only communicating through messages. She was helpful and wonderful in choosing what was right for our wedding. When we met for the first time the day of our engagement photos, my fiancé thought we had already met because of how friendly we were ALREADY. Truthfully, talking to them, it felt like I had known them for years. They plopped us down in the middle of a field and from that came some of the most beautiful photos of my then fiancé and I that I had ever seen. The very next day, we had a gallery with pictures and shortly after came our video from Cohl, which was such a surprise but they work so hard to put out incredible work and quickly. Our wedding day came around and both of them were irreplaceable assets. Not only did Abby unknowingly create the entire schedule for my wedding day, it was like having another bridesmaid with me. It was like having another best friend in the room while I was getting ready, and another family member at the reception. Cohl was so professional and courteous, making sure we knew to “just pretend he wasn’t there” and telling us not to apologize for being in his way. Their vision is clear, they’re artistic and brilliant in the field, they turned my backyard into the moody, romantic photos of my dreams. They love their work as much as they love each other and I am so very sad our time with them is over!

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our entire experience from start to finish was amazing. We received exactly what we wanted in out wedding photos as well as quite a few unique ideas that they came up with based on our personalities. Brighton and Basette were professional and fun! Their presence felt more like family than it did a vendor. In addition to our experience, the quality of our photos was beyond exceptional! They have unique style that made our photos stand out against the traditional style. They have a way of capturing natural emotions and not making things look posed or unnatural. You will have your expectations met and exceeded in choosing Brighton and Basette Photography!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

Hi, I’m Bryson! A St. Louis, Missouri + Southern Illinois-based wedding, engagement, and portrait photographer and filmmaker for those couples who see the world with wide-eyed amazement, who value the artful nature of their unique stories, and who are always up for a little something new.

Bryson and his team were a joy to work with for our wedding photography. They showed up early and were ready to go, helping make the day run smoothly. Bryson has a knack for putting people at ease while bringing out their best smiles. He called my family and friends by their nicknames, making it feel lighthearted. The photos captured the emotion and special moments without feeling overly posed or cookie-cutter. Bryson went above and beyond to scout locations ahead of time and was open to suggestions that highlighted what made our wedding unique to us as a couple. The final album I have no doubt will tell the story of our wedding day in a creative, meaningful way that we will treasure. We highly recommend Bryson Buehrer Photography for couples who want stunning, artistic photos that authentically capture the spirit of their celebration.

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

When I think of Matt and MSW Photos, WOW comes to mind. They are incredibly creative and think outside of the norm. They take the time to get to know you and focus on delivering amazing photos you'll be thankful you have for years to come.

Indianapolis Wedding Photographer specializing in joyful and inclusive wedding photography! My ultimate goal as your photographer is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident as HECK in front of a camera. It's unnatural to pose, I get it! That's why I make it fun and personal so it feels effortless. I am a sucker for a true candid photograph, so you can bet on me cracking jokes and being silly with you to break you out of that shell! I love people. And I love people showing their love to OTHER people... you see the cycle?

Zoe helped us when we lost our photographer for our wedding at the last second. She called immediately to go over details of any special items that needed to be captured along with our schedule. She sent over the contract immediately for review - the turn around time/responsiveness was impressive!! Not only did she help us out, she was a pleasure to work with! She had us laughing the whole time and it was a super comfortable/organic experience. She captured moments with our family that I will cherish forever. I cried and laughed while looking at our gallery - she was able to capture so many emotions of the day. The photos are beyond beautiful and the editing provides a timeless look and feel. I would highly recommend working with Zoe if you’re thinking about it. I cannot say enough good things about this super talented woman!

We’re Kristyn and Jon! We’ve been together since 2014 and got married in 2019 with an epic disaster of a wedding! We planned it so carefully and thought of every detail so we could give our guests the ultimate experience (being wedding pros and all) and ended up with a monsoon that caused our tent to start collapsing! In the end, nothing went as planned except that we did what we set out to do- marry each other! While we can’t control the weather on your day, we can make it an amazing, fun-filled experience and be able to tell your story in the most authentic way possible, creating a work of art with your memories at the center of it.

We've worked with Blush a few times and they are amazing! They get proofs back on time, and their final results are stunning. They are on time, professional, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for all of your photography and videography needs!

I’m known for documenting candid moments in a bright and vibrant way. I love capturing and creating narratives from start to finish - being a wedding photographer and videographer is the ultimate storytelling experience, and it’s one of my greatest joys. Weddings feel like home to me. I’ve found that it’s hard for me to stop smiling throughout the day, and even afterward, during the editing process. There’s just something about weddings that gets my heart all aflutter.

Ashley is awesome, easy to get ahold of when needed, she organized all the people who needed to be in photos very well, and got some amazing shots!

I’m Kaytlyn Dempster and I’m the photographer, editor, social media manager, and person behind KDP! I believe that getting to know my clients is the #1 way to ensure an awesome experience, I’d love to tell you a little about me: I am married to my highschool sweetheart, I love animals but horses and dogs are my favorites (so if you ever want to include your fur baby in your session the answer is always YES), I live just outside Fayetteville, NC but I LOVE to travel, and I love creating beautiful images but more importantly, I love serving couples and their families on one of the greatest days of their lives

Kaytlyn is amazing! She takes the most beautiful pictures. I love working with her and everyone who hires her is always thrilled with her work.

I want to not only help you have the most amazing wedding day ever, but I want you to be able to relive it over and over again through your images. To be able to create that reminder of how deeply invested you are in your love for one another is the biggest honor. With the photos you have from your wedding day, you’ll go back to every single little detail, laugh and emotion of the night all your friends and family were in one place, celebrating you. I love capturing real emotion and raws moments it fuels my little heart tank and keeps me going. I have the best job ever. Let’s make magic!

Could Jahni be any more amazing?! Part of me wants to gatekeep Jahni and her incredible work so that I can have her all for myself, but the other part of me wants to sing her praises forever because she is the best. Jahni did a couples session with us in 2020 and our wedding in 2022 after being delayed (twice) due to the pandemic. She was so flexible and easy to work with during pandemic times and we couldn't have appreciated that more! She made our wedding day so relaxed, fun, and captured all the moments that we wanted to remember. Honestly, she was one of my favorite parts of our wedding day and I will recommend her to everyone I know!

Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

Carly Lynne Visuals provided excellent photography services for our wedding day. Carly's communication style is direct, honest and kind - she was always responsive and helped guide us through the process. The quality and value of Carly's work is fantastic, she captured so many sweet moments with great detail. We appreciated that Carly was able to be present without being intrusive. A few examples that contributed to our special day - Carly adapted our portrait timeline based on lighting conditions which resulted in beautiful golden hour photos. My husband was more comfortable after changing the schedule. We highly recommend Carly, she is very talented and kind. Her photography beautifully documented our wedding celebrations and we will treasure the photos for years to come.

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!
