Innovatory Photography

Joe and Brooklyn made our wedding day a day we will remember forever! They never got in our way and captured the best candid photos and helped us pose for the best portraits I could imagine. Having a slideshow of day-of photos for guests to see blew us out of the water. We are extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of the photos of this dynamic duo! We would highly recommend hiring them for your big day!

I highly recommend Innovatory Photography if you are looking for a photographer for your wedding! My husband and I were lucky enough to have Joe and his wife photograph our wedding, and they were so professional and fun. They were great at capturing all the candid moments throughout the day and were such a pleasure to work with. They also got the pictures back to us within a very reasonable time and even put together a photo book for us that we love. Such a great experience overall!

Innovatory is awesome! If you’re looking for the best photographer to work with then look no more. Every aspect of the event was flawless due to the care and expertise Innovatory provides. From pre planning to the final results they have it covered. Expert guidance and true professionalism were delivered and we couldn’t be happier. What a joy to work with and the images are stunning !!

We got married September of 2018 and had Kaila. She was very friendly and easy to talk to but gave no direction on how to stand and pose. We ended up with a lot of generic, unoriginal pictures. More importantly, she missed a picture of me (the bride) walking down the aisle! We were very disappointed.

We were so thrilled with Kyle & Jamie of Innovatory Photography! What a great team of photographers--they were unobtrusive yet somehow managed to capture the events of the day and evening beautifully. I was rarely aware of their presence, except during the posed shots with wedding party & family, when they expertly guided us in formation and captured really wonderful group shots. They found gorgeous backdrops at our venue to use for our couples shots and throughout, resulting in stunning photos. We're so happy with their work, and grateful to them for capturing so beautifully our special day so we can re-visit it, because it all went by in a blur! We really feel we lucked out--incredible work at a very reasonable rate.

We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos done by Jake and Krista. They were so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and although there was a bit of a mix up on timing on the wedding day, they were really a part of making our day special. They were quick with our outdoor photos (which was good, since it was cold and snowy!), but you never would guess because the results are so incredibly beautiful. They stayed until the very end of our wedding to capture a special tradition and were so kind and funny throughout the day. SO many people have told us that we have the best wedding pictures they've ever seen, and we will cherish having these memories captured in beautiful detail for the rest of our lives. We will continue to recommend Jake, Krista, and Innovatory to everyone we know getting married in the area. THANK YOU doesn't even begin to cover it <3

Jake and Krista were amazing to work with. We loved all of our wedding pictures. We loved they had the mind set of quality vs. quantity. Our pictures turned out amazing. They had great ideas and were so much fun! We would highly recommend them. :)

Kyle and Jamie worked with us for our big day and we were extremely impressed with their work. We decided to opt out of engagement pictures so I was nervous because we didn't take any pictures with them prior to our big day. However, they set up a meeting with us and put us at ease with covering all the details and getting to know eachother. They were so kind, genuine, and go with the flow. Their style is very hands off, as they like to capture moments as they happen naturally. We were SO happy with all our pictures. From the candid shots, to posed bridal/family pictures, etc--they did an outstanding job! My guests were complimenting the ~20 picture slideshow displayed during the reception. They were BEAUTIFUL. Kyle & Jamie are an excellent price considering they will come for unlimited hours AND provide a "photo booth". We provided a black sheet to hang on a wall, but they had an entire iPad system that took pictures. We are so glad we booked them for our big day. Again, I can't say enough great things :) They were so professional, timely, and great to work with!! THANK YOU KYLE AND JAMIE!!

We used Kayla for our wedding. She was great. Our pictures look beautiful. Definitely recommend!

We cannot thank Kyle and Jamie enough, what a wonderful couple to capture our special day! They had over 20 pictures on a laptop for our family and friends to see before the reception was even over and each image is amazing. I cannot wait to get the rest of our wedding pictures. Kyle and Jamie were so much fun to work with and just overall so sweet. The attention to detail is amazing and the pictures we have so far are just so beautiful.

Jake and Krista were phenomenal! They put us at ease and worked tirelessly to get all of the pictures we wanted from the big day. They even agreed to help me surprise the groom last minute with a fun prank during the reveal. 11/10 would use again, and I have already recommended them to several friends. If I ever need to hire someone to take photos in the future, this is going to be the first place I look to. Thank you so much, Jake and Krista!

Jake and Krista were awesome! They made it so fun and painless. I have been in plenty of weddings were it seemed like photos dragged on forever!

Kyle and Jamie!!!! Both Kyle and Jamie are so sweet, easy to work with and take very quality shots. I have only seen about 35 of the photos so far but they are all beautiful. The live photo booth was such a great addition to our ceremony. It allowed us to get photos with so many of our guests and was really fun everyone!! I highly recommend this couple!! - Bridget Hoskins (Grau)

We used Jake and Krista for our wedding photos because the price was right (at the time they were charging just $950). We were aware of their inexperience (Jake had only been in the wedding photographer business for a year or so when we booked him) so we used Jake first for an engagement session to get a feel for his photos and were very happy. Our wedding photos were somewhat disappointing however. There are some pictures that are awesome and really capture the moment, but a lot of the photos of our ceremony and family members are lacking. I think Jake was struggling with the lighting in our church (it was a 5:30pm wedding in January) and did not feel very free to move around during our ceremony, so a lot of the pictures of the ceremony are poor quality, have weird lighting, or are missing details. For instance, neither Jake nor Krista captured our first kiss and the best picture they offered me was one where we are already about 6 inches apart. Jake also required a lot of direction about what we wanted to capture, which I think is also reflective of his newness to the industry. I know Jake is capable of some very good work, and I love several of his photos individually, but overall the group of pictures are lacking. Looking back on it, I would not book him again unless I was planning a daytime wedding where he could take advantage of natural light, which is where he seems to work best, and a first look to allow him more time and opportunity to explore better backdrops.

Jake and Krista were awesome! The pictuers we have seen so far are absolutly gorgeous. The photobooth they had was so much fun for out guests. I would recommended them to everyone.

Joe & Amanda were wonderful. As soon as I saw their photos, I knew they were exactly what my husband and I wanted. We used them for both our engagement and wedding photos. Joe & Amanda are kind, creative, and easy to work with. The weather was surprisingly cold for May, but they made the outdoor photos fast but great! My husband and I felt aren't huge photo people, but we felt so at ease with Joe & Amanda. They were so friendly and relaxed throughout the entire day. I am so thankful we went with Innovatory and I'm excited to show off all our photos.

We had Kayla and Caleb shoot our wedding, and I cannot say enough good things about them! They were so flexible and helpful throughout the day, and made taking pictures in freezing weather really fun! The end result was beautiful as well. I cannot believe how AWESOME my pictures look-even when they had some difficult scenery to work with (SUPER thick fog that morning). They were a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I count ourselves blessed to have found this couple. We found them to be professional, creative, flexible, and fun. We initially planned on a local Cincinnati wedding, but the stress of trying to please a large # of people became overwhelming. We scratched our original plans and asked Innovatory if they would consider joining us on a destination wedding in Punta Cana. They agreed. They exceeded all expectations during the trip and after. They shot more photos than we even realized they were around to capture. They also delivered the final product quite quickly. They love what they do and it shows through their work quality.

Kayla and Caleb did our engagement shoot and wedding and did an amazing job! They were so much fun to have around the day of the wedding, and they captured everything we wanted without us needing to create a list and direct them. They deliver great value at a reasonable price. I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

We are so grateful to have had Innovatory with us for our wedding! We've only seen a sneak peek so far, but they captured our day perfectly! We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures, and to use Innovatory again for future photo sessions. Can't say enough good things about them!!

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING! I can not speak highly enough about Innovatory. First off, they are a husband and wife, which makes them more than a perfect team. They were so much more than photographers. They made sure the entire day went smoothly. Amanda was helping to set up minor details on the day of when pictures didn't need to be taken. The pictures they produce are more than amazing. We have gotten so many compliments on them already. I mean it when I say that they make anyone look perfect. They are INCREDIBLY cool people, all the while keeping it very professional. I would recommend Innovatory Photography to anyone that is looking for a photojournalistic approach. They are definitely well worth the money, and they catch so many great shots. Oh-sidenote. They are INVISIBLE during the wedding. They rarely can be seen, but take all of the candid shots that you want! They take the staged shots too. They do what you ask, and they make it look a million times better

I LOVED Joe & Amanda...to the point that we've given out plenty of recommendations and my brother in law even booked his senior photos through them shortly after the wedding! The couple's style is more along the lines of photo journalism, and they capture many moments versus over doing it on the posed pictures. When I viewed my wedding photos, there are countless that were taken without me even being aware that they were nearby! Not that I didn't want to interact with them, because honestly they are delightful, down to earth, and funny :) They worked together to respond to every single question I had promptly. They also worked fast during the more formal shots to make sure we had plenty of time to just enjoy our day. Joe & Amanda truly enjoy what they do, and I felt that they focused on creating set of photos that were tailored to myself and my husband's taste. Not to mention, they are a fantastic value for the quality and experience that come along with their services. We WILL be utilizing Innovatory again for when some little ones come into the picture :)

Innovatory photographers are some of the most wonderful and personal photographers you can find in the Cincinnati area! They make the day fun, and take the most amazing pictures... I could not recommend them enough!

Joe and Amanda shot our June 21, 2013 wedding and I couldn't be more happy and pleased with choosing Innovatory Photography to shoot our wedding. They are an amazing couple photography duo that are extremely down to earth and easy to work with. It's very obvious they are highly experienced and really have an eye for photos and photography. I have only seen the sneak peak of a few photos but I couldn't be more and awe and happy with them. So excited to see the remaining photos! Their price is extremely reasonable for all day coverage and their talents. You won't be disappointed hiring them for any type of photography. I couldn't be more happy with having them take any photos. I will also note, they are so diligent and good to us. Our bridal party felt so comfortable with them and had nothing but good things to say and how fun they were!

This couple was unbelievably amazing. Joe shot our engagement pictures and then he and his wife Amanda shot our entire wedding. They were personable, hilarious, and made me feel so confident in them the entire day. They are not only experienced, but down to earth. We not only consider them amazing photographers, but friends as well.

Joe and Amanda are amazing! We had so much fun on our wedding day with them and got a lot of compliments from our wedding party about how awesome they were. We have gotten back a sneak preview of pictures and I can't wait to get the rest back. It will be so hard to choose which ones to frame! JOe has an amazing eye for great photo opportunities and we have so many unique and fun pictures. I highly recommend them to any bride and groom.

The photographers were so much fun to work with! They did a great job on taking fun in the moment photos. And their photo booth was so much fun! There was a line the whole night because people loved it so much.

We couldn't be more happy with our selection of Innovatory. Joe and Amanda are a wonderful, fun couple who make you feel very comfortable. We used Innovatory for our engagement photos and for our wedding, and we are very happy with the photos from both events. Joe really took the time to understand the type of photos we wanted, and he nailed it! He is very artistic and creative, and his photos show his attention to quality and detail. Joe and Amanda stayed with us all day and captured all of the little moments that made the day special. When everything is said and done, your photos are your memories, and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Our guests loved the photo booth, and I loved that they danced at our reception! I highly recommend Innovatory!

They have done an amazing job so far, I have received preliminary shots and they all look great. They are very fun and easy to work with.

From our engagement session to the wedding, everything was perfect. Joe and Amanda do a great job of capturing everything. Everyone is still talking about how fun their live photobooth at the wedding was. They are super nice and easy to work with. And, they're less expensive than other photographers, plus they will give you a cd with every image...so no extra fees for prints.

From our first meeting with Joe we felt very comfortable with having him be the photographer for our wedding. It was obvious that photography is a passion for him. From our engagement session through our wedding working with Joe and Amanda has been laid back and enjoyable. From the engagement session some of my favorite photos are ones that I didn't even know Joe was taking. For the wedding they made sure to get specific photos and in specific places that were important to us but also came up with some amazing shots on the spot. They had a slideshow of photos from the day during the reception that I'm thrilled with and I can't wait to see the final disc of photos.

We hired Innovatory Photography (not Photographer) for our two day wedding this August. It was hands down the best wedding decision we made! I did my research to find a photojournalist photographer b/c neither my husband nor I are photogenic and prefer to just take pictures as it happens (more "real" than posed). I was very excited after my initial meeting with Joe. He was very flexible coming up with a plan to cover our two day event (ceremony the first day and reception the next). Unlike other photographers I had met with, he looked at this as an opportunity to get all the shots we really wanted and not be rushed. It is also very easy to feel comfortable around Joe and Amanda. We were so happy to witness Joe's creativity on both days in some of the shot choices, and I think that Amanda could possibly be one of the sweetest people I have ever met. There are so many added bonuses with them (2 photographers, rights to your digital images, makeshift "photobooth" pics at the end of the night, etc.). They also had a picture slideshow at our reception that had pictures from the day before and even from earlier that day (alot of the guests really appreciated this - especially those that didn't make it to our ceremony). My father and I also decided to do a surprise father-daughter dance and Joe set up a video camera to tape this dance for us - so awesome! Their quality of work is amazing and I don't want it to be the emphasis, but they are very affordable! Love them and can't say enough good things about them.

Innovatory was fabulous to work with. Our pictures turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined. Joe and Amanda are a great team, and with Innovatory I felt like we got a lot for our money.

The two photographers that make up Innovatory were so much fun to be around on our wedding day. They made us feel comfortable, made us laugh and had some innovative ideas for our photography. From what I've seen so far, I couldn't have picked a better photography team. I also loved that they set up a slideshow at the reception and also did an informal photobooth for the guests. Would highly recommend them, and also for a great price! The only thing missing were the extremely tradition shots, such as me with my new in-laws or new sister in-laws. I also didn't get a picture JUST with my mom, so I'm a little sad about that.

Joe &amp; Amanda are fantastic! I got so many compliments that day on them. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

Joe and Amanda are an amazing team. They take great photographs without making anyone feel excessively posed or tired of taking pictures. They are funny, sweet, and a pleasure to work with. Even better, super affordable.

My pictures have great quality, there are a lot to choose from, I own all the rights to them, and I didn't break bank. They weren't the best for poses, but took phenomenal candids. The candids are often breathtaking and you get 2 photographers!
