Athens, OH
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

I'm a wedding photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. Over the past 6 years, I've had the honor of working with some incredible couples, telling their stories and documenting their deepest connections. To me, love is a powerful force — it draws me in, and fuels my passion for storytelling. Whether it's the moment you and your love say "I do" or the quiet, tender moments in between, I'm here to capture it all. Not just because these moments are beautiful, but because they're profoundly meaningful.

Drew and his team were amazing to work with. We are a bit of a scatterbrained couple and he helped keep us focused and on task. We're not overly comfortable in front of a camera and Drew kept us laughing and goofing around. It made the entire experience so much fun and memorable. He helped me plan a (somewhat) spur of the moment celebration in the middle of my wedding. Him and his team completely went with it and even gave us ideas and suggestions about how best to go about everything. 10/10 would absolutely recommend hiring him for your photo needs.

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.

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease. Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.

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. Thank you again for not only providing us with great customer service and beautiful photos, but being truly wonderful people.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana.

Jennifer was so great! She was super easy going, and made sure we covered all the things we wanted to capture, and then created a timeline for us to share with our other vendors to make sure we stayed on schedule on our wedding day! The package we picked came with a second shooter and a free engagement shoot, and we were so grateful for that, as it gave us a chance to get comfortable with having our photos taken and try out some fun poses. My husband and I are not picture takers, but she made us forget she was there by making the session fun, and all about us and our love story. We received so many beautiful images and enjoy looking back on them with our friends and family! Can't recommend Jennifer enough!

Both my husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera unless we’re being ourselves and silly, Claire was happy to work with that and allow us to have more fun and be ourselves (hello awkward family photo style pics!). The day of the wedding she not only arrived promptly, but was bright eyed and bushy tailed. Of course we ran behind, but she was great at keeping things calm but also making sure no time was wasted. 12/10 recommend Copper Stitch Photo Co.!

  • Serves Athens, OH

Hello there!! I’m Courtney, owner of Courtney Ranes Photography. I have had my business for a little over 8 years now and I have loved every minute. I specialize in photographing any and every kind of love for any and everybody!! Love is love!!! I'm so grateful I have the chance to do something I truly love and I am really passionate about. If you are interested in my business at all just send me a message and I can send you my rates!

I seriously don't even know where to begin. Picking a photographer was one of the most important aspects for my spouse and I, and we met with at least a dozen different people to find the perfect fit. Picking Courtney was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. Courtney brings a professional and calm atmosphere to your wedding day. Couples: please remember that you will be spending almost your entire day with the photographer! Courtney's vibe was amazing. I did not feel rushed, I didn't feel anxious. She helped me keep on the timeline we set, but also left a ton of room for us working on our own schedule as the day/timeline naturally shifted. I was running late for makeup, first looks, etc. and she just let it happen as it happened, which I really appreciated. I was able to enjoy what was happening rather than worrying about a timeline that really didn't matter much. But, I also got the impression that if the timeline did really matter, she would make sure it happened. She really did an amazing job of matching our energy and both my spouse and I said we would be friends with her outside of the wedding! She is truly so, so, so amazing professionally and personally. Now, the photos! We both were crying within minutes of looking at them, with huge smiles on our faces. She really perfectly captured the day, in the moments getting ready, the ceremony itself, and the moments immediately after. The posed formal portraits were as important to us as the actual events, and she nailed it all. We are obsessed with our gallery and have an impossible task of deciding which photos to print! She stuck to her delivery timeline and we got the sneak peaks on the first day of our honeymoon, truly perfect timing. If you have any doubts about hiring Courtney, don't. We met with a lot of people who did not have experience with couples who looked like us. With Courtney, we did not feel like guinea pigs or like she wanted to work with us just to expand her portfolio to have a queer, plus sized wedding in an art museum (we definitely got this vibe from other photographers). She is truly a gem that Ohio is lucky to have.
