Kim is the best in the business!!
We had an amazing experience with Kim as our wedding photographer! She was professional, friendly, and made us feel at ease from the start. On our wedding day, she captured every special moment beautifully while also keeping our large wedding party focused so that our day remained on schedule.
Her passion for photography shines through her stunning photos, which perfectly tell the story of our day. We highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!!
I could not have picked a better wedding photographer! From start to finish Kimberly and Kim were on it! They made the wedding party photos so much fun and easy with a large group. She has the best experience and is so professional. I loved having Kimberly capture my special wedding day! Highly recommend her 10/10!!!
Kimberly was fantastic! She took the time to get to know us during our engagement shots and asked us about our wedding day. Super friendly and very flexible with everything on our wedding day. We extended the time last minute to get as many photos as we could and she had no issue accommodating that at all. She kept up with us on itinerary, moments that were important, and timing.
We also trusted her creativity with the shots around our venue and you can see those creative juices running. We had all kinds of photos all around The Darby House and she took advantage of the lighting, the landscape, and even moments of a fawn passing by that made it truely magical.
The photos that she took were beautiful and really showed her talent and passion. The album was perfect. Quality material and you can tell that this album can last for generations. Everything was done with creativity, care, and professionalism.
We were happy to have her to be a part of our special day. I can't give enough recommendations that she is worth every dime for your once in a life time moment.
I am so happy we decided to go with Kimberly for our wedding photos. We got married at St Joseph Cathedral and our reception was at the Ohio Statehouse. Kimberly was so thoughtful and helpful in the week leading up to the wedding, her photos turned out AMAZING, and we got them back quickly! I'm so glad she was our photographer for our wedding.
I would absolutely recommend Kimberly as your photographer for any upcoming event! As one of those Covid-impacted couples, we were fortunate enough to work with Kimberly for engagement photos, for our micro-wedding photos back in October 2020, and then again for our large reception photos in July 2021 and I can't tell you how happy I am with Kimberly's beautiful work. We had a big (and loud!) bridal party and Kimberly perfectly directed everyone so we stayed on track with the timelines, and got beautiful shots of the whole group. She has a fantastic eye that captures all of your special moments. It was hard picking our favorite photos because all were so stunning! Kimberly works hard and hustles to get the shots you'll want to look back on for years to come. She's also quick and efficient to get your photos back shortly after your event and is a great communicator. It was an absolute pleasure working with Kimberly. She's photographed a few of my friends' weddings and we've all LOVED working with Kimberly - you'll be glad you booked her!
Kim is absolutely incredible and I cannot speak more highly of her. Kim was my sister in-law's wedding photographer and our entire family has been so impressed with her and we have been using her ever since for our actual surprise engagement, engagement photos, our wedding, and will be booking with her again sometime in the future. She is so thoughtful and genuine and makes everything easy with scheduling and giving us plenty of photos for each event. We booked the full day coverage and added on a wedding album and highly recommend this one because it was great to have Kim and a second photographer for the day of to get even more shots and the amount of time was perfect for our wedding. We had to move our wedding date due to COVID and Kim was more than willing to help find a new date, and even called me immediately when my original venue closed down and she just wanted to call and check on me. I couldn't speak more highly of Kim and I cannot wait until the next time I get to see her for another shoot. Book with Kim and you won't regret it and will have the most amazing wedding photos you will ever dream of!
Kimberly is AMAZING! From the start she makes a point to know the couple and make you feel comfortable. I couldn’t picture my wedding day with any other photographer!
Kim has a combination of effervescent personality and photographic creativity that make her an outstanding choice. She is patient, kind, considerate and great at navigating the general craziness that is common on wedding days and with multiple families. She is fantastic at understanding your style and making images of both you and the details of your day the best they can be. She was fantastic to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
Kimberly was really fantastic to work with throughout the wedding process. I really appreciated her attention to detail mixed with her laid back approach. We had so many laughs together! She did both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. We couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work she does. She has a great eye for finding the right background, lighting, etc to get the right shot quickly. I also love her eye for adding in the right pop of color. Thank you Kimberly!
Kimberly is the best wedding photographer!
My husband and I got married earlier this month, and I’m so grateful that we worked with Kimberly Potterf. Not only is she an incredible artist, she is communicative, so professional, and so fun to be around! We planned our wedding from out of state, and Kimberly’s organization was a key factor in ensuring our day went smoothly. She was so kind to share a couple photos the day after the wedding while we await the final edits. I am so grateful to Kimberly- and her fellow photographer, Kim, who were just so present and flexible throughout our wedding day. Taking impromptu huge group photos and capturing little moments that made our day so special. If you want to work with a true creative expert - work with Kimberly!!
We really enjoyed working with Kimberly and LOVE our pictures!!! She captured all of the special moments and put together a magical slideshow of the pictures. Kimberly was great at communicating with us through the planning and picture process, including our engagement photos.
Incredible photographer!!! She was very organized and helped us figure out what we wanted photos-wise, but she also worked with us to put together a wedding day timeline and think through what was important to us on our day. She even came by and scoped out possible photo locations in advance so we were all on the same page on the day. Lastly, on the day, she was a calming presence and even suggested additional angles/shots that have turned out to be among my favorites! Would absolutely turn to her again!!
Kimberly is amazing! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she has a way of making you feel comfortable and at ease, which is especially valuable if you're like I am and feel slightly awkward being photographed. I'm hoping we can use her again in the future to photograph our dog :) The photos she's gifted us are one of the highlights of our wedding. I'm so glad we worked with her!
Hiring Kim was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I was very picky when it came to a photographer, and as soon as I saw Kim's work, I knew she was who I wanted to photograph my wedding day. But Kim is not just a great photographer because of her work--she is a great person, and so wonderful and easy to work with. My husband and I immediately felt comfortable as soon as we met her. We are both stiff and not the most photogenic, but within 5 minutes of our engagement session, she had us laughing, acting like ourselves, and the pictures were more beautiful than I could have imaged. On our wedding day, Kim made sure everything went smoothly. Despite inclement weather, she managed to get some stunning outdoor shots. She was a joy to be around--always making us laugh and smile, and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day. Not only did our wedding pictures come back much sooner than I expected (and way faster than other photographers, from what I had heard from friends), but they were absolutely STUNNING. I feel so lucky to have met Kim and to have these pictures forever. I can never thank Kim enough for everything she did for us.
Kimberly is not only so sweet but she takes amazing photos!!! She was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. Kimberly is professional, well-organized, and communicative. Her pictures are amazing as well! She was a dream to work with and I highly recommend her as your wedding photographer!
Kimberly was the first vendor I booked for my wedding on April 20, 2019 after seeing her work from a styled shoot online at my venue I knew I had to have her. When I met her in person she was so sweet and had a beautiful studio in Grandview. Kimberly has been amazing to work with over the last year. She flew to New York City, where we live, to shoot our engagement photos and spent the entire day with us capturing some gorgeous shots. She also was by my side for every detail of our wedding and while I haven't seen those photos yet there is no doubt they will be perfect. The time she spent with me on both my engagement shoot and weddings days was something I know I wouldn't get with any other photographer and I can't wait to see her work from our wedding day. She is responsive to emails, set up several meetings with us and planned out a day of schedule to ensure she captured everything we wanted. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the area.
If you’re looking for the best wedding photographer ever... look no further!
Kim was simply AMAZING in every way. Working with her was the best decision we made, hands down!
For starters, Kim has the best personality. She was so fun & full of positive energy! She was the perfect balance of ~go with the flow~ while still following a strict timeline & managing to get the perfect shots. She was FANTASTIC at “coaching” the wedding party to achieve the best poses & most natural looking group photos.
I was shocked how quickly Kim sent us our online portal with all our wedding photos! Going through the nearly 1,000 photos she gave us, I couldn’t help thinking each picture was better than the last. I am truly blown away at her ability to capture our most cherished moments.
I continually get comments from friends & family about how wonderful Kim was to work with, and the gorgeous photos she gave us (even months later!)
Wedding planning requires many, many choices. But I can promise you this: choosing Kimberly Potterf is a choice you will never regret.
Kimberly's photos are beautiful, and we are beyond thrilled with how they turned out. She captured the day perfectly. As a couple that doesn't love getting our picture taken, she made us laugh and just feel super comfortable during our engagement shoot, and we couldn't wait to have her back for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day! I am grateful not only to have all of the amazing pictures, but also to have found a photographer that helped us relax and be able to enjoy the day!
Great choice for a photographer. Her photos have a beautiful natural look and even the posed ones did not look overly so. She was kind and down-to-earth and was not obtrusive on the wedding day at all. Would use her again for any photography needs I may have in the future!
I cannot imagine having a better photographer, pictures and overall experience than what we had with Kimberly Potterf Photography. She and her staff blended in so comfortably with family and guest at my son’s wedding. Kimberly’s ability to capture just the perfect lighting, angle and random moment in time is uncanny and a true testament to her talent. I am amazed at the memories she was able to give us in a single photograph. Her experience, professionalism and heart shine though from start to finish.
Kim was fantastic to work with. She did both our engagement and wedding photos. She was great at talking us through the options, willing to do fun stuff (we had our three cats and dog in our engagement pictures) and took fantastic pictures on our wedding day. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Kim!
Where do I begin!? From the very start, Kimberly was nothing short of extraordinary. In our initial meeting, James and I were nervous and fumbling with our words, trying to explain our vision and talking about this "wedding" that seemed so far away at that time. Kimberly made us feel right at home, asking all the right questions, and you could feel the warmth and excitement she had for us. She genuinely cared about what we describing and all of the sudden, the nerves went away. By the end of the meeting, James and I were chatting with an old friend. Walking to our car, I knew that Kimberly is a perfect fit.
That "wedding" that we described as a newly engaged couple to Kimberly was here. It was June 3, 2017. I married my husband in the place where we grew up together, in his parents back yard. I knew 10 years ago that this would someday be the place of my dream wedding to my high school sweetheart. This was a special place to us both and I truly believe that only Kimberly could capture the love and magic of the place. She captured all of the small details as well as the biggest moments-our first look, the first kiss as husband and wife, and the joy on all of our guests faces as they surrounded James and I on the best day of our lives.
It has been five months since our wedding. I am sharing my story because that is what Kimberly did for us. When I look at our wedding pictures, which is daily, they tell a story. They tell our story. All of those moments and all of those feelings come right back to me, just like no time has passed at all. The best part of all, I have these to cherish and share for the rest of my life. There are months and months of planning that go into a wedding and from one bride to another, it goes incredibly too fast. I woke up the morning after my wedding and was ready to do it all over again. Enjoy all the moments, enjoy your meetings with Kimberly, enjoy the process because those are the moments you will want back.
I love all of my pictures, every last one of them. Kimberly is a phenomenal photographer, an artist. She is also a kind and good person-someone who will make you feel beautiful and carefree on your wedding day. Let Kimberly capture your big day so like me, you can look back at your lovely photographs and fall in love all over again.
Kimberly is the best in the business! We received comments that our photographs looked like they were from a bridal magazine. Kimberly is so kind, funny and down to earth we were immediately put at ease. She met with us at the beginning of the process simply to listen to our vision and expectations and to get to know us. We also decided to do engagement photos at Kimberly's suggestion so we could 'practice'. And, she was ultimately the one who convinced us to do a 'first look' which is the best decision we made, not only for photographs but for putting us at ease for the entire day. I would recommend her to anyone. She's also just an all around cool person - someone you would love to call a friend!
We loved having Kimberly for our wedding day! She was fun to work with and also kept the day very organized to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. She really made us feel relaxed and the pictures perfectly captured our special day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. My husband and I valued photography over many other elements of our wedding as we knew the pictures would last a lifetime. After looking through many different portfolios of photographers, Kimberly immediately caught our eye with the way she captures each image. After initially meeting her, we were excited to get to know her even better during our engagement shoot. She made us feel at ease and took the most beautiful pictures, no matter what the backdrop. We were beyond excited to have her for the wedding day and she did not disappoint! Every part of our wedding was captured and we absolutely love looking back at our pictures! Kimberly, thank you for being so trustworthy with the most special day of our lives!
I love it when I get to work with Kim as a fellow photographer! She has so much energy, fun ideas and a fresh perspective. I trust her to no end, as she was also one of the photographers at my wedding as well and did an absolutely amazing job. Her warm smile and energy made the day perfect.
Kim was both super helpful and accommodating in our requests for certain pictures. She was incredible on keeping things organized and easy going on our day. The pictures were beautiful and we will use her if we ever need pics again! Can't recommend her enough!
Kim is literally the best ever!! Kim and myself met on my wedding day when she stepped in and became our wedding photographer when our original one cancelled the morning of our wedding. I think it was all meant to be because my husband and I fell in love with Kim. She is amazing to work with and not to mention she is amazing at what she does. Our pictures turned out amazing!!! We love every picture from our wedding day! Do yourself a favor and book her, you will not regret it!
We had a great experience with Kimberly. She was so easy to work with and very professional. We are so happy with the images she captured during our engagement session and on our wedding day. We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
I can't say enough great things about Kimberly. My husband and I were pretty adamant about not wanting engagement photos but they came with our wedding package and Kimberly insisted, saying it gives us a chance to get to know each other and for her to get to know our personalities. These engagement pictures were fantastic. We ended up loving all of them and it only made me more excited for the pictures she was going to capture on our big day. On the day of our wedding, Kimberly and her assistant Donna instantly became like friends just there taking pictures. They weren't intrusive and it was never awkward. We just got our pictures back and they were better than we could have imagined. We've received so many compliments from everyone we've shown them to thus far. They captured every guest and the candid shots perfectly show the exact mood and feel of the day. . My friends, family and I will treasure these photos forever. Kimberly did an amazing job and I'm hiring her for anything else I might need photographed.
We love Kim. We do not photograph well and she made the entire process so enjoyable. We asked for candid pictures and I honestly didn't even know she was there during the reception or ceremony. We had some friends post pictures on facebook and my wife and I both made the comment that we didn't know she was there even though she showed up in the background of those pictures. We're so excited to see the finished product and would absolutely recommend Kim as a photographer. She clearly has a passion for her work and was a wonderful choice for our wedding. Thanks, Kim!
Choosing Kimberly to photograph our wedding was one of the best and smartest decisions we made in planning for our Big Day. I was a little nervous that my husband would be camera-shy and uncomfortable on our wedding day. However, Kimberly made the photography experience SO fun and relaxing - after our engagement photos he asked when we could do it again! Kimberly was very communicative, organized and efficient leading up to our wedding. She helped to facilitate a very smooth, stress-free wedding day and helped turn our wedding-photo vision into a reality. Above and beyond her experience, professionalism and planning, we could not be more pleased with the final product! Our wedding pictures are an absolute dream and we could not be happier. I can't recommend Kimberly enough.
The photography was the most important aspect of our wedding day for us. So we knew we needed to find an amazing photographer that we had confidence in and trusted to capture those special moments on our wedding day. Kim delivered above and beyond and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have so many beautiful pictures to remember our day by. Working with Kim, from the initial appointment to choosing our album layout, has been a stress-free and smooth process. We truly enjoyed working with her and I'm so thankful we trusted her to capture our most special day.
My wedding was July 22nd at the Bluestone. Since it is such a unique venue, I really wanted someone with a lot of experience and Kimberly was on the list of preferred vendors. She ended up being the only person we met with. She fit exactly what we were looking for - creative, friendly, easy going, and experienced.
We had two photographers, plus we added on the YOU BOOTH, which was an absolute hit with the guests! Think photo booth, but a simple photo drop and MUCH better quality than a regular photo booth - and you get another photographer with it - so essentially we had 3 professional photographers capturing the entire day.
Kimberly, Kimberly and Mike were so great to work with. They made everyone feel so comfortable and allowed all our guests and wedding party to let loose and enjoy themselves. Every time I walked by the booth, I could hear Mike telling everyone they had just taken the best photo of the night lol. He was able to keep the party going even outside the actual party!
Communication with Kimberly was outstanding, she was always available and responded very quickly to any questions we had.
I highly recommend their services! Thank you all so much!!
I met Kimberly at The Arnold weekend where we took the pictures the CrossFitters competed. I was a photographer for my gym that operates the competitions annually. I saw how well she blended into the crowd, and how quick she was. I loved the way she worked around people and arena. I barely noticed her! I can almost promise she is a ninja ;). I told my then-fiance' (now husband) we must have Kimberly for the engagement and wedding pictures. It was a first step when I barely started planning the wedding. I am very blessed to have Kimberly and her assistant being there for our big day. My schedule was hectic; I changed the timeline a few times on the short notices. Bless her heart, Kimberly was very flexible and patient with me worrying about the timeline. She strongly believes in natural pictures that comes with emotion, mental, and everything. I could not ask for the better photographer. I can promise you will get amazing pictures from Kimberly! Kimberly -- THANK YOU so much for everything!! You're the champ!
Kimberly photographed my wedding in August 2015 and was absolutely amazing! She was my first choice and I was so happy to have booked her. Plan ahead though - I booked her in June 2014 and I believe she already had weddings on the books for August 2015 by then. I was planning long distance and she was always available to answer my questions with phone or email. The first time I met with her she put me at ease with her professionalism and friendly, easy-going personality. She was also very proactive in reaching out to remind me of upcoming deadlines.
We had an engagement shoot with her as part of our package, which was wonderful. She is an absolute pleasure to work with - she gives very good direction without being overly "posed". We are not camera-shy, and Kimberly was great at capturing us as we did our own thing, but she would be equally great for couples who are not comfortable in front of the camera.
On my wedding day we ended up running about an hour behind (hair and makeup ran over) but she kept me at ease the entire time. She captured everything I had wanted on the day and I never felt rushed or flustered. She worked well within the photography restrictions at my ceremony venue and didn't miss a thing. She also turned the photos around very quickly - exactly one week after the wedding. I also enjoyed the images she shared on Instagram, which were fun teasers to see while on our honeymoon.
Kimberly was patient, professional, listened to our wishes and captured all of our special moments and personality. She did a fabulous getting all of our large family pictures which were so important to us. Also, as a bride that is your typical planner at heart, and putting so much time in all my little details, I completely appreciated her attention to capturing all my pictures of my details so I can remember them forever. Choosing Kimberly will ensure that you will have pictures to cherish of your special day forever!
Kimberly is the total package! She is professional, talented, and fun! Her eye for photography is amazing and her aesthetic is beautiful! I had many requests of her before, during, and after the wedding and she was extremely accommodating and always does things with a smile on her face. On the wedding day, she was great at time management and keeping things moving along without feeling rushed. We had videographers that were not affiliated with her and she worked very professionally and collaboratively with them. The photos were exactly what we were looking for! She gave great direction on posing that made our photos look very natural. The lighting is bright and fresh and romantic. I highly recommend working her. It is truly a great experience and the end result is beautiful!
Kimberly was such a breeze to work with. Both her and her assistant were nice, accommodating and full of great ideas to capture the best moments of our big day. She does such a beautiful job with her photos and loved how she worked with natural lighting. She definitely makes you feel relaxed and allows you to have fun. I loved every picture she took and can't decide which of the 800+ pictures to develop because they all captured the day beautifully. Bonus...she was probably my easiest vendor to get in contact with!! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED working with Kimberly.
We cannot thank Kim enough for the fantastic job she did on our wedding photos. We were blown away by her talent and the beautiful moments she captured! She went to great lengths to help us get some unbelievable shots, but most importantly, she made the process fun. Kim's professionalism made the planning process a breeze, and I felt so relaxed and comfortable having her be part of our big day. If you are lucky enough to have her available on your big day, book immediately!
Kim is a fantastic photographer and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding pictures were extremely important to us and she did not disappoint. Not only did she capture beautiful portraits of my husband and I, she also captured countless emotional moments. The images of my husband seeing me as I walked down the aisle, of my dad walking me down the aisle, of our first dance, and of the small moments of pure joy experienced throughout the entire day are priceless.
We have incredible wedding photos, but not at the expense of "wasting time taking pictures." Kim knows exactly what to capture and how to capture it, which allowed my husband and I, our bridal party, and our guests to be unphased by the presence of a photographer. She makes it feel easy and natural to have 1,000 pictures snapped of you...that is a gift!
Outside of our actual photos, Kim is simply a pleasure to work with. One year after my wedding I still have not completed my wedding album, yet she continues to respond to my emails with the same promptness and professionalism she did before I paid her for her services.
I would recommend Kim to anyone who wants beautiful, timeless wedding photos from a stand-out wedding vendor.
We truly enjoyed working with Kimberly throughout our engagement and on our wedding day! We met with a few different photographers who were all great, but ultimately we just “clicked” with Kimberly. She’s friendly, personable and extremely easy to work with.
We lived in Chicago at the time of our engagement so thought it would be special to have our engagement photos taken in the city where our relationship started. Kimberly was so accommodating to this request. We coordinated schedules and found a day that worked for her to fly out to Chicago to shoot our session. Now that we’re living back in Columbus we feel so lucky to have really great professional photos that capture our time living in a city so near and dear to our hearts.
As we got closer to the wedding we met with Kimberly a couple of times to go through our day-of timeline and do a walk-through of our venue. After our conversations, she provided some great recommendations to make photos more efficient and the day flow seamlessly. These suggestions were so simple, yet only something that someone with her level of experience level would think of.
Since you spend the majority of your wedding day with your photographer, we wanted to be sure we were with someone who we were comfortable with and enjoyed being around. Kimberly and her second shooter Nick were a perfect fit for us!
We had to make a few adjustments throughout the day due to weather and Kimberly was extremely flexible with the change of plans. She has a way about just making everything work.
After the wedding Kimberly sent us a link to our online photo gallery very quickly. We know many people who didn’t get their wedding photos back for months, so we were so happy to have them so soon after our big day.
Overall we had a wonderful experience with Kimberly and would highly recommend working with her.
Kimberley photographed our wedding in June, 2015, and she was amazing! So fun and easy to work with, and our pictures turned out beautifully. A friend of mine told me that she spotted her multiple times sprinting from one shooting location to the next; I'd say that is true dedication to her work. I would absolutely recommend using Kimberley Potterf for your wedding photography.
If you can book Kimberly, do it ASAP! During our first visit with Kimberly, she showed genuine interests in our story rather than getting our business. After meeting 2 other photographers, it was clear that Kimberly had set the bar very high and we knew she is the one! A thunderstorm began 2 hours before our engagement session, and Kimberly checked with us through e-mailed and suggested that we could pick another day if we are worried. Luckily, the storm ended in time, and we had the best light and temperature for outdoor photography that evening. On the day of the wedding, Kimberly showed up on time with great energy. She and her assistant were very patient and wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding. We had a non-traditional wedding, and Kimberly was willing to commandant our needs. After the wedding, she was very quick in getting photos back to our hands (both online gallery and the final copy of all images on a personalized hard drive). Everyone raves about the photos, even my Asian friends who are used to "studio wedding photography"! We cannot thank Kimberly enough for preserving the wonderful moments of our wedding.
I loved working with Kimberly throughout my engagement and wedding. I had spoken with all different photographers from all over but wasn't set on any of them. Kimberly was recommended by my venue and I spoke with her and I immediately loved her accommodating she was and patient with my questions. She really helped guide me and offer suggestions whereas with other photographers they had strict rules on how they will or won't work or I felt wouldn't give me enough guidance. On the day of Kim was calm and energetic for my group to work with. Plus, our photos were gorgeous and have received so many compliments. Thank you Kimberly!
I highly recommend Kimberly Potterf for engagement and wedding photography! She was fantastic! I originally chose Kimberly as I loved the style of her pictures however, she was also fantastic to work with. She remembered every combination of family pictures I wanted and was so friendly throughout the entire process. We booked a package with Kimberly and a second photographer, and I have nothing be great things to say about the second photographer as well.
Kimberly even had my wedding pictures back to me earlier than she anticipated. I showed all of my friends and family...they were blown away!
Kimberly was great to work with! She took the time to understand our style and what we wanted, and tailored our pictures to match!
My husband and I don't love getting photos taken but she made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot in German Village. We included our dog in some of the shoot. Kimberly was very patient with him and the photos with the dog turned out to be some of our favorites!
On our wedding day, Kimberly and her assistant captured all of our important moments beautifully. It was raining during the afternoon and she had great suggestions for where we could take covered pictures and had a clear umbrella for those in the rain! We had so many great shots to choose from for our album and have gotten many compliments on our pictures! I would definitely recommend Kimberly as your wedding photographer!
Kimberly was the photographer for my sister's wedding last year, and when my husband and I started planning our wedding this year, there was no question that we would also work with Kimberly. We both had such a fantastic experience working with her. A few highlights:
-I normally feel self-conscious getting my photo taken and tend not to like a lot of photos of me, but Kimberly put me at ease and I had so much fun. And I actually LOVE all the photos!
-Kimberly and her assistant are like ninjas -- they're everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They managed to capture intimate photos of every moment of our wedding and yet they were not at all obtrusive. Sometimes I would think, oh I wish the photographer was here, and then I would here a shutter snap.
-My husband and I both really LIKE Kimberly. She's fun and nice and a damn good photographer! It's so important to get along well with somebody who is going to be a big part of your wedding day!
-Most importantly, the photos are gorgeous. Her photos of my sister's wedding are totally different, so I know she responds to individual tastes and style of each couple.
Thank you, Kimberly!
Kimberly was a wonderful photographer. She made me feel comfortable during the whole process and her pictures were outstanding!
Jeff (my now husband) and I decided very early on in our planning process that we were not going to hire a videographer. Just an added expense to a wedding and we knew that if we found the perfect photographer that they would be able to capture those special moments. We found exactly what we were looking for in Kimberly. From the first time we met with her we just knew she was going to be our photographer. It is not very often that you find such a perfect fit for your vision and style. Living in Clintonville, Jeff and I wanted to make sure to represent the place we lived in our pictures. Additionally, I wanted a graffiti wall. Kimberly was able to find the PERFECT spot and I know that no other couples in Columbus have their wedding pictures on that wall.
When we received our pictures (about 4 weeks later) we were not disappointed. Kimberly somehow able to catch every intimate moment along with all the fun stuff of the day. I still cry tears of joy every time I look through them.
As I have said before there was no better fit for a photographer than Kimberly for us. We enjoyed every moment of our day and Kimberly captured all of our best moments. I highly recommend any Bride that is looking for someone to capture more than just the standard day of pictures to use Kimberly.
Kim does a phenomenal job! We have such beautiful pictures from our wedding day! She got great candids and caught many moments on camera that i am glad I have to look back at. Along with her beautiful pictures, Kim is so fun to be around and is a great addition to your wedding day!
Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful! My husband and I are so happy with them!
We had a small wedding in June 2014. Kimberly was the perfect choice for a photographer - she was professional, friendly, and managed to get so many sweet and personal shots of the event. She maintained excellent communication throughout the planning process, and we were so happy with the images - it was literally difficult to choose favorites!!!
I struggled searching for a photographer for our wedding day. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding Kimberly had shot and knew of her work, but I initially thought it would be easier to work with a photographer close by. Boy was I wrong! I researched many, many photographers in my area and nothing came close to what Kimberly shoots. A friend of mine had Kimberly shoot her wedding, and I was absolutely obsessed with her pictures, coming back to them time and time again. My biggest pet peeve is overly photoshopped pictures. Kimberly's pictures are very open, inviting, colorful, natural, and really capture the essence of the moment. After being really frustrated with my local photographer search, a family friend suggested her again. I was BEYOND excited when I contacted her and she was available for my wedding. Photography was incredibly import for my wedding day, since I come from a large family who make every effort to be together on these special occasions. I did not want anybody else shooting these moments. Kimberly herself is an absolute dream to work with. She's very upbeat, calming, professional and non-invasive. She is open, honest, very responsive to all of my communications, and like talking to a good friend. Moreover, she was incredibly accommodating as I felt the standard packages did not quite fit my needs, and she was more than happy to work with me on finding one that would. As part of this package, she shot our engagement pictures. Holy moly do I love those pictures! We exchanged a few emails discussing a few locations she recommended, and all my husband and I had to do was show up. The shoot was really relaxed and casual. We were in an outdoor location, and it was like strolling on a trail talking with your friend about the day. Initially, I was nervous but Kimberly has a way of blending into the background while making you feel so comfortable. As far as the wedding, the week leading up to the wedding we emailed and talked on the phone. This was again an informal conversation, with her guiding me on how she typically shoots. This was very calming and re-assuring to me, because it felt like one less thing I had to worry about! All of her tips and tricks are invaluable - her experience shooting weddings has given her so many ideas and feedback on the best way to do things. The day of the wedding, Kimberly and her assistant were punctual and amazing. I don't know how she manages to keep such a low profile, but it was so comfortable having her there. She would quickly explain her plan, and be off. During the actual ceremony, I could not pick her out from any of our guests. Afterwards, she was so efficient about all of the group shots! For the bridal party shots, she balanced her professionalism with her brilliant, fun personality for some gorgeous outdoor photos. For the reception, again she was inconspicuous. Even my family and friends remarked afterwards on how you did not even notice she was around. Furthermore, they cannot stop raving about her pictures. Everyone I have talked to has expressed how excited they were that Kimberly was shooting our wedding because of how gorgeous our engagement pictures turned out. There really is no one better than Kimberly if you want a stress-free person to work with and absolutely stunningly beautiful, original, artistic photos!
I chose Kimberly as our photographer because her photographs capture real life as it's happening - not over-staged or planned out to look like your favorite pic on pinterest - but the real energy, life, and love standing in front of her. She not only lived up to that expectation, but exceeded it. I could not be happier with our wedding photos or the experience of working with Kimberly. She is professional and personable, and has the sweetest dog in the world to boot. I would recommend her to anyone!
Kimberly is an amazing photographer! She did a wonderful job capturing not only the large and small events of our wedding day, but also the style of the event and the emotions of all our friends and family. Every time I look at our photos, I feel like I am reliving the day. In addition to her high quality photos, Kimberly was easy to work with. She was very calm and laid back, but also organized and attentive to the details we discussed prior to the event. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a photographer for a wedding or special event!
When my wife and I first started looking for photographers for our wedding, we were a little overwhelmed. There were so many choices, and photo technology has come so far that it made it tough to discern a good photographer from a great one. We used the internet and wedding expos around the city to narrow down our choices to a few people/companies that jumped out at us, and then we scheduled some face-to-face meetings with them to get a feel for their personalities. When we met Kimberly, we had chemistry immediately. My wife sent her some photos that we liked ahead of time, and Kimberly was prepared with ideas and samples. We left that first meeting with very high expectations for our photos, and Kimberly delivered from start to finish. Our engagement photos were fantastic. Kimberly did a great job of guiding us into some unique shots downtown, and the turnaround time from shoot to delivery was very quick. As we got closer to our wedding day, Kimberly helped us with the flow of events. We didn't really have a good idea of how long things were going to take, so her input was incredibly helpful. Our event coordinator was also grateful for Kimberly's input. When the day finally came, Kimberly and her assistant arrived early, looking professional and keeping a low profile while they got their equipment ready. They were with us from the time we started getting ready until the very last song of the evening, and they did a great job of keeping us on schedule. We received our photos shortly after we returned from our honeymoon, and we couldn't possibly be happier with them. Kimberly definitely did a great job of capturing all of the fun we had with our friends and family on a day we'll never forget. I would absolutely recommend her for any photography work. Even now, almost four months after our wedding, we still talk to Kimberly and are even planning trips to the dog park with our pups. She is a fantastic person, and she will not let you down.
My now husband and I met with five different photographers before choosing Kimberly because we had decided early on that this was the most important aspect of the wedding for us, both because we had to be with this person all day and because this would be one of the only tangible artifacts from our wedding. After meeting Kimberly and seeing her work, we knew both parts of our needs would be perfectly met. She has an infectious attitude that my bridesmaids and I loved while having our photos taken. Everyone was smiling and having a good time, thanks to Kimberly. While I haven't yet received my final photos, the handful she's sent so far are stunning and I couldn't be happier.
Altough my husband and I had a relatively small wedding (only 75 people) and a relatively small budget we decided to splurge on a top quality photographer. We interviewed several photographers in the area with all different price points and we loved Kimberly's photojournalistic approach. She seems to effortly capture beautiful images that no one else can. She has a vision and is able to see beauty where most people would just walk right by. She is great with people and even held her own with my downright rude grandmother. Her work is immpeciable and I am so greatful we chose her as our photographer. I cannot say enough good things about her.
Kim was friendly, professional, and flexible during the planning process. Her and LeAnne were so fun and great to work with on the wedding day. So far the photos look awesome and I can't wait to see the rest!
