Highlighted review.
My husband and I worked with Bambino international for 3 events: our engagement photos in New York City, my bridal shower in Cincinnati, and our 3 day wedding-weekend in Cincinnati.
Overall working with BI was the most amazing experience!
The first thing I love about Michelle is her organization & dedication. She takes copious notes & wants to understand exactly what you want. Be sure you have ideas on certain photos you want, backgrounds, shot list, and send her inspo photos. She is also easy to reach by phone & email.
The second thing I love about Michelle is she gives amazing guidance to her subjects. At my bridal shower, she made it a point to get to know the Moms and Sisters so that taking family photos was not only easier, but everyone was comfortable around her. For our three day wedding weekend, she used her infectious laugh and gentle guidance to direct people to take some amazing group photos, and she also gives very helpful advice to Non-models like ourselves so that we get the best pictures possible.
The third thing we loved about Michelle and her team was their commitment to our wedding. We wanted lots of little details as well as all the important moments. Their team, including videography, was in every room, capturing every moment in a beautiful way.
The last thing we loved about working with B I were the incredible photos she took of us as a couple, our families, our guests, and the venues. Truly, her work is some of the best ever.!
Lastly - There is a reason that Michelle and Bambino International fill their bookings quickly. If you can get her, I promise it's worth it. She has hundreds of clients at one time and yet always made us feel like her #1 priority.
Michelle is not only amazing to work with, but she is extremely experienced - she gave us so much advice during the planning process & she checking in on us at every event. If I needed water - she was there. I've never met a photographer who cares as much as she does.
I will be using Michelle & BI for all future life events :)

I cannot say enough about Bambino International Photography! They captured my daughter’s wedding and my nonprofit’s community giveaway with absolute perfection. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched. The photos are simply stunning—every shot is striking and immaculate, truly telling a story through every image.
What sets them apart even more is their energy and spirit. The photographers have an incredible vibe that instantly makes everyone feel comfortable and brings out the best moments naturally. Whether it was a joyful wedding celebration or a heartfelt community event, they captured the essence of each occasion beautifully.
I highly recommend Bambino for any event. Their talent and passion shine through in every photo, and working with them is an unforgettable experience!

Thank you so much, Shellie, for your kind words! It was truly a joy to be part of your special day and to help preserve such cherished memories. Seeing your happiness shine through in the images makes everything we do have meaning. Wishing you ...
both a lifetime filled with love and laughter!
Any questions?
The Bambino International team, where do I begin? They are professional, kind, fun, go above and beyond, and will absolutely help make your day the most magical day ever. My husband and I would recommend Bambino to anyone and everyone that would listen. Michelle made every step of the way during the planning process so easy, having multiple detailed calls to ensure we got exactly what we wanted and needed and helped create a wedding day timeline that was thorough while still allowing for some down time before our ceremony. On the wedding day, Abbey, Nick, Abby, and Peter were a dream. They were the best hype team for our whole wedding party, and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera (something we are not used to). They were prompt with the turnaround of our gallery, and the images we received were absolutely stunning. We also chose to have a preview cut and directors cut video and both made us cry. If you are considering Bambino, absolutely go with them, you will not regret it!

The team had an absolute blast being part of your day, and hearing that they made you and your husband feel comfortable means so much to us! Your kind words about the gallery and videos have us smiling ear to ear—knowing they brought you to tears is the ultimate compliment.
Thank you for trusting us with such an important role in your celebration, and for sharing your love and recommendation. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and unforgettable moments!
We had the absolute BEST day of our lives with Bambino International!!! They were SOOO much fun and did an amazingggggg job-we seriously could not imagine having a better day, better photographs, or a better day!!!!! Words cannot describe how much we recommend Bambino!!!!!!<3
Bambino Photography truly exceeded our expectations on our wedding day, July 5, 2024. Abbey, Abby, Peter, and Nick formed the most dynamic and fun team of photographers we could have hoped for. From the moment they arrived, they brought a contagious energy that kept everyone smiling and relaxed throughout the day.
Our bridal party and families instantly connected with them—they were not just photographers but became an integral part of our celebration. They seamlessly blended into the festivities, capturing candid moments and ensuring everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera.
Abbey, Abby, Peter, and Nick's enthusiasm was infectious, and their creativity in capturing our special moments was exceptional. They truly acted as our "hype crew," cheering us on and capturing the essence of our perfect day with every shot.
Working with Bambino Photography was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their professionalism, passion, and dedication to their craft shone through in every photograph. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories they helped us create.
We got our pictures 3 weeks after our wedding (seemed very fast) and they captured every single moment of the wedding perfectly. You could feel the emotions through their photos. Absolutely beautiful pictures.
Choosing Bambino Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for photographers who not only deliver stunning photos but also add joy and laughter to the entire experience.

he world to us. It was an honor to be part of such a special day, and we’re so grateful for your trust and recommendation. Wishing you both endless love and happiness!
Abby and her crew were amazing! We had the privilege of working with them for my son's wedding on June 15, 2024. I cannot say enough about their professionalism and personal touch. From the time they arrived at the Westin Hotel, Cincinnati at 11 am until the reception at the Bell Event Center was over at 11 pm, as well as all the photo stops around the city before the ceremony, they were laser -focused on capturing each moment of this special day. Abby even took the time to get to know me ( Mother of the Groom) and took special care to accommodate some family members who needed a little extra care with mobility. The pictures were turned around quickly and each one was more beautify than the last. To state what's probably obvious, vendors make or break a wedding weekend and there is no vendor of greater importance than the photography/ video crew; all that's left at the end of weekend are memories so capturing them perfectly is so important.
Simply a WOW 10 out of 10, Highly Recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Bambino International. They are really artists and have the eyes of creatives. The confidence in their craft that comes from their talented gifts & years of experience makes it effortlessly easy to fall in love with their work + We absolutely did. When looking for photography for your wedding, you want to find someone that sees your vision but brings it to life & elevates it to a new level that only they can see as creators. Bambino did exactly that & exceeded our expectations. Our gallery created a place to travel back to remind us of our love story. You can tell they absolutely love what they do & it’s so affirming. They are worth the investment and so much more. E-v-e-r-y photo was amazing. Ali is absolutely amazing & you could tell she truly saw me & my husband as a couple. We love her! These photos are luxurious. We can’t wait to revisit these photos for the rest of our life together. Most of all, we just LOVE this team!
Michelle and the Bambino Team are outstanding in every aspect. They are responsive and easy to talk to for any questions we had, they helped us feel at ease during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day itself. Ali was our primary photographer and she was the best. The photos are the best ones my husband and I have ever had taken of us and we could not be happier. The style, lighting, editing, focus, everything was perfect and both Ali and Abby added so much fun and positive energy to our big day. They helped make us feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera being our natural selves. The turnaround time was way faster than expected and every single person who sees them has nothing but good things to say. The Bambino Team in general has been so helpful determining the timeline for day of, even driving to Columbus for us to do our engagement shoot, and really captured the details of the whole day perfectly. We recommend everyone use Bambino International now, they are above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for.
My husband and I chose Bambino International as our wedding photography group and we could not have been more pleased with the results! Michelle was absolutely incredible and worked with us to find our perfect photographer, giving us the opportunity to review portfolios and learn more about the different styles offered. On our wedding day, Abby was amazing and captured our most special moments, making our day more magical than we could have ever imagined! Abby and her team went above and beyond, throwing in a helping hand whenever we needed assistance, whether it came down to fixing hair or offering to adjust decor, they were there, no questions asked. We will forever cherish the memories that Abby and her team left us with and we cannot thank them enough for their love and support.
Bambino International is incredible. Their services are everything you could dream of for capturing your big day. Abby shot our engagement photos and wedding day. She is extremely kind and accommodating. She gave simple directions during shots, and it was easy to relax and act natural in front of the lens. On our wedding day, Abby was accompanied by Mallory (second shooter) and Dylan (videographer). The whole team had great energy and are so talented. Their artistic eye captured some beautiful moments from our day that we will cherish forever. They moved seamlessly throughout the day and happily captured everything on our wish list. The whole team was professional, thorough, and a joy to work with. I discovered Bambino through a friend who had used them. One look at their porfolio was enough for me to reach out and work with Michelle. She was very informative and insightful. She curated a package to fit our needs and was great at keeping us informed leading up to the big day. The gallery was delivered within the expected timeframe, and the photos are perfection. The day felt so surreal, and these high quality photos made us excited to relive our day all over again. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the BI team. Thank you for capturing our special day and for all your hard work <3
This team is just incredible! Michele took our engagement pictures which turned out fantastic. We also hired BI for our wedding pictures/video. I couldn't be happier with our wedding photos! If your on the fence about a video...don't be. Best decision I made was hiring BI as our videographer. I'm thrilled with the teaser video which captures so many details of our wedding day. Hire BI because you will not be disappointed!!
My husband and I worked with Bambino for our wedding and engagement photos. Going into our engagement photos, we were so nervous. As soon as we arrived, Michelle had us laughing and feeling confident. Before we knew it, the session was over and we had a blast doing it. For the wedding day, Michelle and her team ensured they captured every important moment. They made it so fun for everyone; our bridal party kept talking about how much fun they made the photo process!!! We are so excited to see the amazing work they have done for our wedding. We recommend them to EVERYONE!!! Best team ever!
I could not have been happier with our choice to go with Bambino International for our engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding video! Michelle and her team were always on time, professional, fun, made us feel so comfortable, kept the day flowing, & captured every moment.. everything was gorgeous beyond what I thought was possible, I was blown away from everything they delivered, and the quality of everything was top notch! Michelle was the first vendor I booked and she made me feel so comfortable, she also had done multiple friends weddings which all turned out beautiful as well! I couldn’t recommend them more! They truly captured every moment of our day and I couldn't be happier!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You guys are amazing, and I had so many people telling me how awesome and fun to work with you were! You guys went above and beyond! You made everyone feel so comfortable and captured everything! You and your team are amazing at what you do! I wish I could give 100 stars ! Thank you for everything!

Thank you Jennifer! You had such a unique and beautiful wedding! Wish we could do it again!
Absolutely amazing, from first contact through delivery! This team definitely focuses on making this a day to remember, constant communication, professionalism and stunning quality. We had so many guests compliment the work of our photo/video team- high energy, amazing shots. I would recommend Michelle and her team for any event. Huge shout out to Abby for being a part and making our day extra special, you ROCK!!
Michelle and her team are incredible! They did such a fantastic job on our wedding and reception day! Michelle really makes you comfortable even if you are camera shy and I'm so glad we could do our engagement session with her first as well. They captured all the moments beautifully and were very professional, thorough and easy to communicate with. I loved all our photos and would highly recommend them without a doubt!

Thank you Divya! We loved being part of your day and celebrating with you both! The sweetest! Thank you!
In awe! As my husband and I were watching our wedding video and scrolling through the photos, we had nothing but smiles on our faces. We were incredibly impressed by the AMAZINGLY high quality of these photos. The day of our wedding was so special too because our two photographers and the videographer were all so kind and kept making us laugh. We loved having them at our wedding. They are all so talented and professional. We also really appreciated the care they put into making sure we got all the shots we needed and went above and beyond to get the best shots possible. During the editing process, Bambino International was very welcoming to some specific requests I had for touch-ups, it made me feel a lot better knowing they were going to make me look close to perfect in my photos. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled!
Michelle was super helpful throughout the process and always very responsive! Belle, Sean, and crew were great to work with on our wedding day, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Thank you Jen! We appreciate you!
The entire team at Bambino International was amazing to work with from start to finish. My first phone call I had with Michelle, she was extremely friendly and so easy to talk to! One of my favorite things about BI is all of the black and white pictures that you get and that they also give you the same pictures in color as well. We did our engagement photos with Michelle and she made us feel so comfortable and always makes taking pictures so fun! After our engagement session, we decided to book BI for our wedding photos/video. On our wedding day the team worked so hard and captured our day beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how professional and amazing the photo/video team was for our wedding. I would highly recommend BI for any picture needs!!

Thank you, Hailey! Such a dream day! We appreciate you so much!
We had a great experience with Bambino for our June 2022 wedding. We first worked with Michelle at our engagement photoshoot in the fall. My husband and I are not “picture people” so we were nervous going into the shoot but Michelle made us feel so comfortable! We felt like we had known her for a long time instead of just meeting.
Leading up to the wedding, Bambino was easy to work with. We chatted on the phone a few times and they helped us form a “master timeline” with all of the events leading up to our ceremony (we did a first look with photos before). They day of the wedding, we had two shooters, Michelle being one of them, and they went above and beyond to capture all of the special moments throughout our day including of decorative details, venue and people we love and care about the most. They were able to capture all of the joy, tears and emotions in our photos. When I set out the photos to all of our family and friends, they all agreed that they were the best and most unique wedding photos they had ever seen. We decided to skip getting a videographer, which I was nervous about, but the Bambino team did such a good job capturing everything, that I do not think that missed out! We will cherish these photos forever!!
Bambino International was the best photographer we could have hired! We decided to go with Michelle and 2 videographers. The first time we got to meet Michelle was when we all went to Miami University for our Engagement Photo Shoot. Her energy was absolutely amazing! Her vision and talent is even better! We loved our engagement session so much, especially hearing Michelle yell, “Yes, Babe! That’s the shot!” when she captured the perfect look. We raved to our friends and family about her while we anxiously awaited the photos. Although we had seen her work and knew she was great, we were nervous to see our photos. They were amazing! We knew she was going to be the perfect photographer for our wedding.
Our wedding photos are spectacular! There are so many that we absolutely love. She perfectly captured our special day, and we get to relive those moments looking through the photos. On top of that, our wedding party also raved about her and the team and how awesome they were that day. They made the photo sessions fun and full of energy! We never felt annoyed or over it like some photoshoots can feel like. I can’t rave enough about how awesome they were - hire them!
The videographer we actually added on a couple months later because I wasn’t convinced it would be worth the money. My husband finally convinced me to do it, and we are SOOO happy we did. Our short 2 minute preview cut is just amazing. I can’t wait for our longer view, and I’m so happy to have a copy of the ceremony and speeches. Your wedding day flies by so quickly and feels like a blur after the fact. Being able to see those moments again, or for the first time as the Bride since I was the last one in the ceremony. I haven’t even seen everything they did, and I’m positive it was worth the extra money! Plus, the 2 videographers were awesome. No surprise here as the whole team was amazing!
Long story short: they were amazing, they are worth every penny, and you should hire them.

Sarah, thank you so much! Thank you for having us - we appreciate you!
Bambino is just unrivaled. Michelle and crew are an impossible combo of professional, super fun, extremely efficient without missing a moment, and talented AF! I’m honestly shocked at how good out photos came out. SO HAPPY that I was lucky enough to have them!!!
We cannot recommend Bambino enough. From the moment we had our informational call with Michelle, we were impressed with the customer service, and we were even more impressed once we got our photos and video back. Bambino captured our day perfectly, and did so in a beautiful, high quality, and thoughtful way (including getting some shots of my Nanna that had me teary eyed the first time I saw them). On top of that, the photographers and videographers made everyone feel so comfortable, and they couldn't have been nicer. We will use Bambino for our family photos one day, and we will cherish the wedding photos and video forever.
Bambino International Photography was the best vendor I could have spent my money on for our wedding! Their team was awesome from day one! Their team LITERALLY captured EVERY moment of our special day. I must say that I have never been keen on pictures or photogenic, but their constant prompting and encouraging made me feel beautiful and confident than I have ever felt in my life - and the pictures showed that! They have a gift and talent to see details and potential glimpses that lend to a stunning image that one cannot even imagine. I honestly feel as though I gained a friendship with each and every member of their team and that their presence was interwoven in our day that allowed for more beauty and "feel good vibes" to shine through! When looking through our pictures, it seamlessly revealed our love story in such a way that felt like a fairytale storybook. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bambino International for all of your photography needs! I cannot stop telling anyone that will listen about their high quality photos and videos, their talent for coaxing you into an extraordinary shot, and the fact that their team is a WHOLE VIBE! I really want to have a party or event just for a reason to be around them and their greatness again! :) DEFINITELY, THE BEST TEAM AROUND! They hold a warm and fuzzy space in me and my husband's hearts (and honestly everyone they encountered at my wedding). If I had to rate them on a 5-point scale, I would rate them a 6! Until next time, Bambino! Much Love! - India and Ray
Everyone was easy to work with and very professional. Helpful during the wedding day as they captured everything. Highly recommend then for your wedding or special event.
Our photographers were Abby and Rose. Abby took the lead and did an amazing job! She was joking around with everyone to help us all loosen up. No one in our group would describe taking pictures as their favorite thing to do but with her specific directions I am sure our pictures will look great!
Michelle and Ali are phenomenally talented and a dream to work with! Michelle we got the pleasure of working with during our engagement session, and wedding day. She is incredible! My husband and I were both nervous before the engagement shoot, and she truly made sure we were comfortable and eased our nerves. She has a great sense of humor and makes sure you enjoy each minute!
Ali and Michelle on our wedding day made sure we stuck to our schedule and got every photo we wanted together. They went above and beyond what was expected, and I am beyond thankful we picked them. Each photo they took tells our story perfectly, and truly are works of art!
Both sets of photos to this day get compliments from anyone who sees them. They captured both of us so well, and made us so comfortable. I cannot recommend them enough to any brides in the area. They both are true gems to work with!
I had the pleasure of having Michelle take my engagement photos then Ali and Courtney take my wedding photos this past weekend. I cannot stress enough how phenomenal each one of them were. I am not someone who knows how to pose and I don’t typically like having my picture taken but they made everything so seamless and I always felt completely at ease. Saying that they went over and above is an understatement. If you are looking for a photographer don’t hesitate!
If you’re looking for the best photographers if Cincinnati, BOOK BAMBINO! I had the pleasure of working with both Michael and Michelle, along as their two assistants. When booking a photographer you need someone who KNOWS your venue, who knows the angles/lighting and is confident in themselves. Just about every venue I viewed had Bambino on their preferred vendor list. Booking Bambino means, breathtaking pictures, comfortable staff that makes you feel relaxed and guaranteed laughs. At the end of the day you’re only going to have photos left from your wedding day, don’t settle for anyone but the best!
Bambino International was fantastic to work with! They were fun and professional and flexible with us during the pandemic. We had a blast doing photos at our wedding with Ali and her team and I can not recommend them enough. Their photos are stunning!
I can’t even put into words how much I loved our wedding photos. First of all, there were SO many to choose from, and not just amazing ones of us but also my friends and family as well. I don’t know how they were everywhere at one time to catch everyone in their best moments, but somehow they did!
As a bride, I had so many things going on, but the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was how I was going to look in all my photos because Allie was such a great hype woman the whole time! She telling me exactly what to do or where to look, and keeping the energy up with us laughing!
Brides, let me just tell you, DO NOT SKIMP on the photography!
I know everyone always says the day goes by fast, but they’re not kidding! All you will have is the photos and videos at the end of it all, and Bambino was with us all day, from getting ready, to the middle of the reception. I’m so excited that I have these awesome photos forever.
If you are looking for a photography team that will make your experience as great as the end result, look no further.
Couples: keep in mind that your photographers and videographers are with you throughout the majority of your wedding day. You need a crew that will keep you smiling :) We are so grateful that Michelle & Ali (and the amazing videographers) were there with us! They brought so much love and life to the day - they even made the guys feel comfortable in front of the camera! I loved how they helped problem-solve with my bridal party. They saved our day countless times - from fixing bouquets to managing a range of personalities and ages - they felt like wedding day coordinators!
We could not be happier with Bambino! Everyone who sees their work says they have never seen more beautiful, creative, artistic, couture, romantic (the list goes on and on) photos/videos from a wedding! Everyone says our photos deserve to be on the cover of a bridal magazine (and they made me feel fabulous as they took every shot)!
When you hire a photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to document the most special day of your life. You’re hiring someone who will literally be hanging out with you the entire day. You’re hiring someone to keep you on time. You’re hiring your “hype woman”. And if you’re planning a wedding during a pandemic, you’re hiring someone who will talk you out of a few panic attacks leading up to the biggest day of your life!
We did our research and interviewed 4 photographers before finding Michelle. The Bambino style is obviously breathtaking but as soon as we met Michelle, we knew she was the one. Her laugh is contagious. We both knew she is someone who we would want to share our day with. Her energy truly made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend all day. She kept us on time, she had all of us laughing and feeling good about ourselves. She gave us direction without posing us. Getting my husband to take a picture is usually like pulling teeth, but he and all the groomsmen genuinely enjoyed their photoshoot as well.
Just about all of our wedding plans had changed, but Michelle was the one constant through everything and I can’t even put in to words how much I appreciate her. She called me a few times just to remind me to breathe and that everything will work out.
As for the final product? OH MY GOSH, WOW!!!! I still can’t believe how badass our photos turned out!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bambino International is incredible, I can't say enough good things about them. Our first meeting with Michelle was amazing, she made us feel at ease and spent the time to get to know us as a couple first and her client second. She is so engaging and fun that I instantly felt like I could have known her for years instead of days.
Ali and Abby were so much fun to work with on my wedding day! They made taking/posing for pictures so easy and stress free! The pictures were absolutely stunning!!!! I honestly can't pick a favorite, they all turned so amazing and I've received so many compliments on them. I can't wait to get prints and hang them around the house!
I had heard of Bambino before and seen their work around Cincinnati, a lot of my friends used them. I knew to expect some good pictures, but I was seriously blown away by the most awesome people to work with and the most amazing pictures!! Ali and Rose captured everything, they were easy and so fun to work with!!! Ali made us feel like we were gorgeous models during the shoots (engagement and wedding day). Michelle is always so sweet, very responsive and helped talk me through a lot (since we got married during the pandemic) which she did not have to do! Highly recommend working with Bambino International the team is awesome, you feel like you are friends instantly, and pictures are AMAZING... you will NOT regret choosing them!!
Bambino International was one of the best aspects of our wedding. Besides having great photos, they were a joy to work with and always made us, as a couple, feel special. I will definitely recommend them for others getting married.
We can't say enough about how much we LOVED working with Bambino International for our special day! Michelle and Dan were so incredibly personable, easy to work with and so sweet! Our photos are absolutely breathtaking and sum up our day perfectly. Would highly recommend!
We absolutely loved working with Bambino International. The book of work is gorgeous, romantic, timeless and exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. Ally and Rose were our photographers and they were the BEST!!! They captured all the moments, big and small, from getting ready to the ceremony, after and reception. I also have to say the level of care they provided our bridal party was incredibly sweet. I had a cathedral veil and they were so attentive. We had a last minute photo idea and they quickly made it happen which goes to show how flexible and creative they are! Ally also graciously squeezed us in for a last minute rescheduled engagement shoot the week ahead of our wedding.
We used Bambino International for our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures just this past weekend on 10/17...obviously we have not received our wedding pictures back, but I already know they're beautiful, our engagement pictures were fantastic. What's also important, though, are the photographers themselves. Ali and Amanda were PHENOMENAL!! They knew exactly what had to be done, kept the day moving, we were ahead of schedule all day and got A TON of pictures!! They were so very professional, fun and accommodating. We had a bridal party of 25 people and they had no problem wrangling us all up and getting their work done. It really was such a wonderful experience and I am SO excited to get the pictures back!!! Michelle Jackson was also a fantastic resource during this process, she worked through the timeline with me and answered all of my questions, she was fantastic! Thank you so much Ali, Amanda and Michelle!!!! You are all so wonderful!
What a wonderful presentation of a glorious day. The moments the Bambino team were able to capture are so precious. The care and consideration from the the initial planning process to engagement photos to the day of our wedding was exceptional.
Our first interaction with Bambino was with Michelle for our engagement shoot. We were both really nervous, but she made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Her genuine, kind energy is such a gift. For the wedding day, Josh and Ali were our photographers. They exceeded our expectations. They were so positive and encouraging, which made the bridal party feel amazing. At no point did they give off the vibe that they do this every weekend. They made us feel that our day was special! They helped keep everything moving which allowed my husband and I to be truly in the present and enjoy our day! We highly recommend Bambino!
I cannot say enough about Michelle and Ali (as second shooter)! Our pictures are absolutely STUNNING. I gave little direction and input other than I wanted it to look like a Vogue photo shoot and wow did they deliver! They were extremely generous with their time, so energetic, sweet, very communicative, and were willing to go above and beyond for us in location and time. I’m still in shock at how well they turned out. I’m normally incredibly critical of myself in pictures and figured there would be a few I’d like. There are literally dozens and dozens of amazing ones. If you want something more unique, stylized, and fashion forward book with Bambino! Everyone is already asking for referrals and are blown away with the ones I’ve shared so far.
Michelle at Bambino took my daughters wedding photos, and we loved her so much we invited her back to do their newborn shoot. Michelle is the most genuine person and unbelievably talented. Talented in a way that she reads the family and captures their joy in a way that they had dreamed it would be. Talented in a way that she creates beautiful and artistic pictures. Talented in a way that all the guests love her, and talented in a way that she can direct and control a whole wedding group, and is so gentle that she had an entire hour and a half newborn shoot with a 5.8 pound baby and he didn’t cry throughout. I can’t wait for more grandchildren so that we can hire her again. All our pictures are gorgeous! Thank you Michelle
I said it for our engagement photos, but I'll say it again: the Bambino team is incredible. We had Michelle and Ali for our wedding day; their talent is INSANE. My wedding party was jaw-dropped at how engaged, professional, and enthusiastic they were as photographers. You're getting world-class photography with the Bambino ladies. I expect nothing less than beautiful photos of our special day when we get them.
10/10 would recommend to everyone - the Bambino team is absolutely AMAZING!! Leading up to our wedding, Michelle was a joy to work with, especially through all of the changes we had to make due to COVID-19 & some family health issues. On the day of our wedding, Michelle and her team helped make everything run smoothly & made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Their artist style & ability to capture candid moments allows my husband and I to relive the emotions of our wedding day while going through our album. It is impossible for us to pick our favorite photos because there are so many to choose from! We cannot wait for the Bambino team to be a part of our larger ceremonies & reception next year when the pandemic is behind us. If you need a photographer, Bambino is the best in Cincinnati!
Michele and Ali were so perfect for our day. They put so much time into our day before, during and after. They traveled all the way to Western NY and were there to capture it all. They did exactly what I wanted and were able to really get the best photos. They helped with positioning/angles and helped everyone look their best. They were so nice and accommodating! We are still obsessing over our photos and always will. These gals will not disappoint!!!!
I can't say enough good things about Bambino! We worked with Michelle and Michael for our engagement photos and Michelle and Josh for our wedding. Michelle also took the time to shoot amazing bridals for me before the wedding. All our photos have been incredible and they also made the process so much fun!
Hands down, without a doubt, Bambino International is the BEST in the industry. Photography was super important to me and when researching photographers for my wedding, I kept going back to Bambino. From my engagement photos to my wedding photos, they were absolutely amazing! It will be the best decision you can make when selecting a photographer. Your search is over. Bambino is who you want for your wedding! Best decision I made for my wedding and they are Worth. Every. Penny. You won’t be disappointed!
Cedar Springs Pavilion highly recommends Bambino International!
Dont bother with other photographers. Bambino's entire crew is the best you will find hands down. They make you feel comfortable, sexy, and confident You will truly feel like a couture model the day of your wedding. With two photographers they will capture all the best candid photos as well. Just absolutely perfect.
I can’t say enough good things about Bambino International. Everyone we worked with at this studio was warm, engaging, honest and made us feel important. Communication was 100% perfect throughout the entire process. If I had a question, it was answered in less than 24 hours. My boudoir pictures turned out way better than I could have ever imagined. Our engagement pictures capture us in the most beautiful way. Finally, our wedding pictures – I cried happy tears going through them - simply stunning and art gallery-worthy. Our families will treasure these for the rest of our lives. I am so grateful for Michelle and her patience, her constant reassuring, and laughter. She gave me the confidence I didn’t think I had. I’m truly honored to be a Bambino Bride.
Book one of their teams as soon as you can - they book up quickly! It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day or for any photography needs. With so many photography options to choose from, choose someone who makes you feel good, has the experience, and the portfolio to take your breath away. Don’t settle for anything less than perfect. Choose Bambino International.
I can't say enough great things! Michael was super nice when we first met him, and didn't push to buy the most expensive package. Instead, he recommended the photographer that would best work with my personality. That being said, Ali was our photographer and she was absolutely AMAZING! We loved our engagement shoot, and loved our wedding photos even more! They were perfect in all ways imaginable. Highly recommend!
Excellent photography
Professional folks
Nice to work with
Want to get it right
What can I say? We couldn't imagine our wedding weekend without the Bambino team. They were absolutely INCREDIBLE. Our pictures came back a month or 2 ago now and we are still in awe of how beautiful every picture turned out. We had the Bambino team with us for 4 events over 3 days (an Indian wedding!) and the Bambino team KILLED IT from start to finish. Michelle and Michael are both so talented and truly made my husband, me, and my entire family feel so comfortable. They made every photoshoot so much fun for everyone involved and they make you feel like a model! And all the candid photos were perfect as well. Plus, they helped us stay calm during the entire weekend and make sure all of our timelines for photos ran smoothly. With 4 events, it was quite complicated but they helped it run so flawlessly. We are so happy we chose Bambino International and I highly recommend any future brides and grooms to choose them as well. The best in Cincinnati hands down!! Thanks for making our dream wedding weekend so perfect Bambino team!
We had the most amazing experience with our engagement shoot and the day of the wedding. Michael and his team were so fun and great to work with and the end results of their work is spectacular. Amazingly beautiful photos. True artistry!
We had Ally shoot our wedding day, she was great. She was prompt, fun to work with and we love our photos. Michael did our engagement shoot and we also loved those photos and used them for our save the dates. We would highly recommend Bambino International.
They were Amazing!!! We chose Bambino International for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Michael(the owner) and Michelle did our engagement photos. They were so fun/great to work with and the photos were stunning. Michael and Michelle are great at what they do. Michelle helped the most in the planning process, and she was a pleasure to work with. She was always so fast at responding to emails. The day of the wedding we had Steve & Rose. They took great care of us and made us feel like models. They were so helpful in helping me walk with my long train to the next photo location. We can't wait to see all of the wedding photos. We highly recommend Bambino International!! Thanks again Michael, Michelle, Steve & Rose!!
Michael and his team are absolute ARTISTS! They established a relationship right off the bat so when it came to picture time it was nothing but comfortable and so much fun!
I cannot recommend Michael and his team enough. He made me feel so extremely comfortable and absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. He kept the flow of the entire day going with a fun and easy going presence. I really appreciated is ability to direct my friends and family. He is also extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the wedding planning process. On top of this, he seems to know everyone in the wedding industry, making the day that much easier. He is easily the best choice in photographers and once you meet him, you won't want anyone else to do your photos.
We had the dream team on our Wedding day. I can't imagine picking anyone but Michael to capture our day. On top of that we got Michelle as our second photographer. Best photographers in the area!
Just schedule a time to meet with Michael and you will not want to book anyone else. I seriously cancelled all other appointments when picking photographers.
Michael and his team are modern, professional, well known in the area (your other vendors will be excited to work with them), unbelievably talented, energetic, experienced, and total badasses.
They are the full package of amazing artists with the best personalities. Love them <3
My husband and I felt that our wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we had to make - it took a ton of research to narrow our choices down to three potential photographers. We interviewed all three and finally decided to go with Bambino International. We wanted photos that were not only beautiful, but captured the moments from a photojournalistic "behind the scenes" aspect. They delivered beautiful images that continue to bring us joy every time we look back at them. They also went above and beyond meeting with us during the editing process for our albums to make sure we got exactly what we expected. Finally, they were warm and personable, making them easy to work with from beginning to end.
We are speechless! Michael and Michelle absolutely blew us away with our wedding photos. Our New Year's Eve wedding was a rainy day, but they didn't let that stop them from taking some ridiculous photos. Michael and Michelle were there every step of the way to ensure that our day was perfect and ran smoothly. They were excited and hilarious throughout the entire thing. They work together like a well oiled machine. Our bridal party and family couldn't stop raving about their talent and personalities. We loved having them there to capture our perfect day. We already knew their talent, but were even more blown away when we received our photos. They captured every detail and truly captured the feel of the day and the love that surrounded us. Thank you Michelle and Michael! You are amazing!
Bambino and Michelle were absolutely wonderful for our pictures. They kept the bridal party laughing and having fun which made for more natural pictures. We could not be happier with how our pictures turned out, they truly captured memories that will last forever. Additionally so many family and friends have comments that we have the best wedding pictures they have ever seen! You cannot go wrong with booking Bambino Int!
Everyone was very professional and the pictures turned out amazing for our wedding!! We definitely recommend Bambino International for your wedding!!
Absolutely amazing! They did both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with them! They were great at helping make the day of plan and help the day of run very smoothly! They helped us feel comfortable and confident too while we had our wedding day jitters!! So happy with the quality of our photos-highly recommend!
My husband and I had the honor of working with Michael and Michelle for our wedding. Michael and Michelle were amazing to work with and we couldn't ask for anything better. They deliver timeless quality photographs that you will treasure for all of your days. Their personalities are so much fun, they made you laugh, and overall just genuine amazing people to work with. Their work speaks for itself. They do an impeccable job capturing the emotion of the day. When you choose Bamino International, you are choosing the best quality photographs that you will ever get in a life time. I cannot express how much we are obsessed and in love with their work. We highly recommend Bambino International.
Michael Bambino and staff are the best in the industry, nationwide, hands down. I met Michael 11 years before my wedding and was so impressed in what he was doing at that time that I saved his card for that long and reached out to him this year when we got married. He and his team have a true talent to take fine art photography to the wedding industry. Not only are the photos high quality, they are also timeless and innovative at the same time. Everyone who sees our wedding photos tell us they've never seen anything like it. His stark approach to black and white photography creates fine art portraits that are priceless. He captured tender moments during our wedding, and we couldn't get over how many times we said "I never saw that!" You'll look back on your day in a totally different way. You'll never regret going with Michael Bambino. It's worth it.
I wholeheartedly recommend both Michelle Jackson and Michael Bambino. Photos are an expensive part of your big day, but with Bambino they're so worth it. Michael shot our engagement shoot since we had a previous relationship with him living down on Riverside at one point (a favorite Cincinnati shoot location for many) and Michelle shot our wedding at Memorial Hall in OTR on 6.16.18. Michelle was tremendous helping me plan out my schedule ahead of time and kept things moving during the wedding day. I'm a huge planner and I felt completely comfortable with Michelle running the show. With a bridal party of 20, she nailed it. Her professionalism, personality and passion had everyone ready to strike a pose. Literally every photo from ceremony and reception details to my bridal couture shoot to first look to group shot were perfect! There was a great blend of natural, candid and couture shots, which was exactly the variety we wanted. Whatever you're taste, Michelle will work with you to achieve your dream result. I've received so many compliments since printing off photos and I will cherish these memories forever.
Speechless, honestly having Michael Bambino and his team as our photographers was the best decision for our engagement photos and wedding. He helped make the day move so smoothly and is so easy to work with. It is a non-stop laughing fest all day and he makes taking photos a joy. His artistic eye helped capture our wedding day in the way we experienced it. We are so in love with everyone of our photos that it's going to be a tough decision to choose for our magazine. If you are wanting photography for your wedding Bambino International is the way to go! Thank You Again for making our day so special!!
