Kimberly Potterf Photography

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!

eral 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!

ether! 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!

e 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!!

communicating with us through the planning and picture process, including our engagement photos.

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!!

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!

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.

ized, and communicative. Her pictures are amazing as well! She was a dream to work with and I highly recommend her as your wedding photographer!

son 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.

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.

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!

the wedding day at all. Would use her again for any photography needs I may have in the future!

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.

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!

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.

mmediately 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!

relaxed and the pictures perfectly captured our special day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

er 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!

aphers at my wedding as well and did an absolutely amazing job. Her warm smile and energy made the day perfect.

iful and we will use her if we ever need pics again! Can't recommend her enough!

ding. 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!

edding day. We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

d, 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.

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!

hy 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.

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.

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!!

he 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!

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.

h 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!

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!

autiful 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.

o 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!

rtraits 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.

ked” 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.

ted 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.

ographers, 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.

ded 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!

o 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!

en 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!

h 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!

ound 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.
