We absolutely loved working with Mike and Jamie for our wedding. I actually found them year ago when they shot a friend’s wedding and when I got engaged I knew they were who I wanted (they were actually the very first vendor I booked!) Their style is beautiful and I know the photos we have will be hung on our walls forever. Thank you both so much for everything!
Mike and Jamie were both awesome to work with! Mike was incredibly helpful and responsive. Their photos were perfect; mostly candid/photo-journalistic with some posed family photos as well. You can tell that Mike and Jamie have over a decade of experience in this business. We couldn't have asked for better photographers for our wedding!
Mike and Jamie are both wonderful and the work they do is phenomenal!!! They are so personable and down to earth. Having the right photographer with you on such an important and stressful day can truly make a difference. While Jamie was with me and my brides maids, she was hyping us up while we were getting ready and even jamming out with us to the music! They were both kind to everyone and laughing with us, just all of us having a good time and it was awesome. Going from not feeling photogenic and worried that I wouldn’t look elegant and beautiful to being blown away by how wrong I was.
They gave excellent direction on what to do for portraits, or just telling us to laugh and be ourselves. They captured the day in a way I didn’t think was possible.
We are beyond grateful for everything they did for us and when I tell you we were both blown away by what we got back is an understatement. I’m going to recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs a photographer. I would work with them again in a heartbeat
Mike & Jamie are A+++ photographers! They did amazing job on our wedding photos and they played roles well beyond just taking pictures. Jamie was the biggest help quite a few times when we had some problems arise throughout the day, even sewing and fixing my ceremony shoes! She was definitely a life saver. Mike was so professional and fun, my family and bridal party loved him. He does an amazing job seeing the photo before it’s taken. If your looking for photographers to capture the best of your life, book them! You won’t be disappointed.
We had the great pleasure of having Mike and Jamie Photography at the Wolf Creek Retreat last weekend and couldn't be more pleased with our experience with them. Very professional and highly recommended!
From start to finish Mike + Jamie were amazing to work with. They are very responsive with their emails and we had our photos back in under 10 days of our wedding. We originally hired them because we loved the “moodiness” and unique photos they capture. During the wedding day they were great and making everyone feel comfortable and helping keep our “timeline” on track. We couldn’t have asked for more in our photographer.
Mike + Jamie were an amazing photography team to work with on our special day! They are great at posing you and we love the moodiness of their photos. We also got both our engagement photos and wedding photos quickly and in an easy format to download. Mike was super fast about answering any questions I had and was helpful in providing feedback for our day of timeline. Can’t recommend them enough!
Loved them! Such a sweet perfect couple to shoot our wedding. We got our pictures back very quickly and they are so beautiful! I also loved that on the day of our wedding they put pictures that they had taken earlier of us at the card/gift table to play as a slide show for our guests to view🥺💕 was super sweet and those even looked amazing. I highly recommend these two!
Drew and I came across Mike and Jamie Photography while scrolling through our friends wedding photo album on Facebook and we immediately were obsessed with their work. We hired them for our wedding a couple weekends ago in Cincinnati and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. They were on top of everything - early in the day when we were getting ready to our grand sparkler exit, they captured absolutely beautiful pictures that we will hang on our wall forever. Mike and Jamie were so easy to work with, they were so friendly and fun and they knew the perfect spots to capture beautiful wedding pictures at our venue. I could not recommend Mike and Jamie enough! There work is absolutely amazing.
I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw one of my friend’s wedding pictures. I immediately fell in love with the photography style that Mike and Jamie create. I reached out to the friend on Facebook and then reached out to Mike and Jamie. The rest is history. We loved working with both of them! They’re both easy to work with and are very responsive and communicative. We received our wedding photos while we were on our honeymoon and it was so special to relive our day through the beautiful pictures that Mike and Jamie captured. They captured everything and we are incredibly grateful for the amazing work they do, thank you!!
I honestly can't rave about Mike and Jamie enough. They are the most calm, comforting, organized, professional, hilarious people and they made my husband and I feel completely natural and at ease. Our pictures turned out gorgeous and better than I could have imagined. Thank you doesn't do a justice when it comes to the work they did. Do yourself a favor and book them NOW!
Mike + Jamie were absolutely perfect to work with! I’m sure many people can understand merging two families together can make for a crazy day but they handled it with ease. They both made my husband and I feel so comfortable, happy and kept us laughing. I even got to see some of the sneak peaks of our photos on a laptop at the reception and I started crying that’s how gorgeous these photos are. Book them!!! I promise you won’t regret it. Thanks again Mike and Jamie for making my wedding day as perfect as could be 💕
We are so glad we chose Mike + Jamie to capture our wedding day and our engagement pictures! We met Mike at our engagement session & Jamie the day of our wedding. We loved having 2 photographers to capture our day from different angles. They made us feel at ease and helped keep us on a tight timeline and transition easily between 2 different locations. They captured everything from the small details to the full landscape of our venues. Communication was always quick and we received the edited pictures just over a month later in the middle of wedding season. Overall we are extremely happy and would recommend them to friends!
Mike and Jamie were so personable and easy to be around. They captured our day beautifully!
Our wedding day was an amazing experience and thanks to Mike and Jamie we have absolutely beautiful photos to remember it with! We initially met Mike during our engagement session and instantly knew we picked the best. He was very personable and professional and when we met Jamie the day of our wedding, she was just as awesome! At no point did we feel rushed or worried about them capturing something, because they were always ready to go! In fact, they blended in so well we almost forgot they were there. To top it off, they captured so many amazing pictures of moments we never would have seen and for that we're truly thankful.
Mike and Jaime were so easy to work with and understood exactly what we were looking for -- the photos were incredible and they fit right in as guests at the wedding. We had large wedding parties and they were great at "herding" them everywhere and keeping us all on schedule when it came to group photos before the wedding. Then all the candid shots during the ceremony and reception were just spectacular. Best quality out there for the price (which is very reasonable). Recommending them to everyone I know looking for wedding photographers!
I am so glad we chose Mike and Jamie to be our wedding photographers!!! They were absolutely wonderful to work with from my many questions during the planning process to being flexible and creative during our wedding day. Not to mention, our wedding photos came out beautifully and they are something I will cherish forever. I have received so many compliments on our photos and I tell absolutely everyone I know to book Mike and Jamie!
Mike + Jamie were so easy to work with! We didn't get to meet them before the big day, but they made us feel so comfortable. They both went above and beyond, but Jamie was so great while I was getting ready. My bridesmaids were rushing around to get ready, and Jamie was constantly asking me if I needed anything, and refilled my water a couple of times. Little things like that make them stand out! Jamie also carried my HUGE bouquet and helped me with my train. Mike was super fun during my husband and my session in between the ceremony and reception and was very efficient in taking photos so we could get back to the party. They were both such a joy and I have nothing but amazing things to say about them. We got married around the holidays, so I didn't expect to get our photos back for a while. I even emailed Mike a week and a half after the wedding and asked for a few photos to choose from for a Christmas present and he got them to me right away, and less than a week later, the rest of them were edited and sent to us. All of our friends have asked for Mike and Jamie's information to use them for their own weddings and even family photos. Our wedding party loves the photos and said they're the best they've ever seen! I couldn't be happier with our photos and experience working with Mike & Jamie!
Mike and Jamie were the absolute best! They were on time, super sweet and made our wedding photos a ton of fun. They were very professional from start to finish and were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for any event!
Breath of Life Photography is amazing! I was so happy that they were able to capture our big day. They both are super sweet people that are willing to make your day so special. They are great to work with and are always making sure they you are satisfied with the pictures. I am so happy that I chose Breath of Life Photography to capture our special day!
I found Breath of Life on Facebook from looking at a friend's photos they took at their wedding. After seeing their beautiful work there was nobody else we wanted to consider. Of all the different people and companies involved in our wedding they were by far the best to work with and who we would most highly recommend. We could not be happier with the finished product and love looking at the beautiful pictures and remembering our perfect day! The thing that blew us away the most was how kind and great Mike and Jamie were to work with. They are definitely doing what they were meant to do. My husband can be awkward when we take pictures but even he felt very much at ease with them being there and taking pictures. They are so nice and friendly, it is amazing how much of a difference that makes and probably one of the reasons why they are able to capture amazing shots.
Mike and Jamie were an absolute PLEASURE to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They were very responsive, professional, and kind, not to mention INCREDIBLY talented! Their genuine hearts to serve us and our guests on our wedding day made them invaluable to us! They were patience, very hard working and attentive on our special day and made our families feel comfortable and set the tone for our joyful and fun wedding day! We deeply treasure our beautiful photographs from that day and I would HIGHLY recommend them. Many of our family members and friends commented that our photographs look like photos straight out of a wedding magazine.Not only are they amazing photographers, that are worth every penny plus some, but they are sweet and genuine people as well. It was such a joy to work with them and their photos were so amazing, we plan to use them for family photos in the future.
Breath of Life Photography was a great team to work with for our wedding. We were planning from out of town and they were very flexible with our tight schedules while in town, or communicating/planning via email. The day of they were prompt and able to work easily with the wedding party as well as independently take candid/prop shots at well timed moments. Zero worry was caused by the Breath team, they did their jobs perfectly allowing us to focus our day. And the photos/editing...I cannot tell you how many compliments I have recieved. Top quality shots, with top quality editing makes for a wedding album I will swoon over for years. Thanks to Mike&Jamie!
Mike and Jamie were absolutely amazing photographers! Like many brides, having a good photographer was of high importance. When I met with Mike to go over things months before the wedding, all my worries were gone. On the wedding day they were on time and did not miss a beat of me getting ready. Somehow they captured all the big moments, but let everything happen naturally (rather than making us pose). After the wedding, per my suggestion they rode on the party bus with us while capturing fun shots of us dancing and celebrating. We drove around Cincinnati and they knew the best spots for us to talk photos and WOW were the results AMAZING! They made the photo shoot fun and once we got pictures with our bridal party, they focused on my husband and I. This was a very special part of the day that I will never forget. I remember my husband and I looking at each other and saying we felt like Mike and Jamie were our good friends, even tho we had just met them. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, Mike and Jamie came up to us at the reception and said they had a surprise for us. They took us to a table where they had already downloaded some of our photos to their laptop and had a slideshow playing for all to see! After the wedding our photos were emailed to us super fast! The quality of the photos were outstanding, I couldn't have dreamed of better photographers! I suggest them to everyone I talk to and I will be using them again in the future!
Mike and Jamie were the photographers for our wedding in February of 2015 and I cannot say enough great things about them! Their style of photography is more about capturing those special candid moments rather than shooting poses which is great since my husband and I are extremely awkward about getting our picture taken. Mike and Jamie had us laughing the entire time and we felt like the four of us had been friends for years. You could see in each photo the genuine joy and happiness that our wedding day brought, which is what everyone wants to remember 50 years from now. Even more impressive is how they managed to take a rather dreary background (Downtown Springfield in an Ohio February) and turn it into a high quality and unique location. They also displayed a sneak peak of the photo shoot before the ceremony on Mike’s laptop at our reception! I cannot express in words how FANTASTIC Mike and Jamie were to work with, spend time with, and the quality of their work. There is no one else I would of rather have photograph one of the best days of our lives.
Mike and Jamie from Breath of Life Photography recently completed editing my wedding photos. I have to say -- I had certain expectations of their work based on previous albums I had seen on Facebook/their website, however, I was blown away by how they captured our day. The photos turned out exactly as I wanted them, and they are beautiful. I don't even know where I'll begin choosing which ones to have printed! I listed out exactly which "posed" shots I wanted, and they ensured those were taken, but outside of that, used their own creative liberties to capture our special day. I appreciated that they were willing to a) show up early to capture our "getting ready" time and b) do so at two separate locations so the girls could have these photos and the boys could too. Again, the photos speak for themselves -- they are candid, unique and beautiful! I have received so many compliments on the photos from family and friends as well -- our guests also loved seeing previews at the reception!
Mike and Jamie were wonderful! I could not imagine my day without them. They were very professional and made my myself and my husband feel very comfortable. They have a passion for what they do and it shows in their work. They had great suggestions for where to take shots and how to position ourselves without the photos looking staged. Both Mike and Jamie didn't hesitate to step in if something needed to be done. Jamie even brought out her curling iron and fixed our hair while we were getting ready. They went above and beyond the call of duty. I would have no hesitation recommending Breath of Life to other brides. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Mike and Jamie are so nice!!! Mike drove several hours to meet us for engagement pictures at our alma mater. We really appreciated that! On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly. Both Mike and Jamie are wonderful to work with. They even had enough time to post process wedding day photos to view during the reception. That was awesome. They were pretty quick at getting pictures on Instagram and Facebook. Shortly after that the photos were on their website. The only critique I have is they are relatively slow getting the original image files and photo album proofs to us. Thank you for capturing memories of our engagement/wedding! :)
Mike and Jamie were great! They were easy to work with, very personable, and the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy with them!
Breath of Life Photography (Mike and Jamie) were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were timely, professional, creative, and most importantly fun. They captured every important moment and then some. I loved that they both worked together to make my day seamless and stress free. They didn't have an overwhelming presence, which I appreciated because I didn't feel like my every move was being watched. They were a silent force that gave direction well. They made me feel comfortable and beautiful. My day started off every hot and they were patient with me and my bridesmaids as we took pictures. They created creative shots that I love after seeing the sneak peak, which was delivered a week later. I was so excited to have the opportunity to relive my special day so quickly. During my ceremony it down poured, which prevented many of my desired outdoor shots with my husband. But they were so excellent, they stood in the rain and took beautiful photographs despite the difficult lighting situation. You can't even tell that it was raining in my pictures. I would recommend them to anyone looking a wonderful couple devoted to making a bride feel amazing on her wedding day.
I am truly blessed that I hired Mike and Jamie for my wedding. They were attentive, kind, and did exactly what I had envisioned. I adore thier style of photography. They went above and beyond at the wedding, Jamie even helped lace up my dress and assisted me with my bustle because it kept falling down because I was dancing so much. They are a great team. The way that they each envision their fantastic shots and see beauty in the most surprising places. I also liked the fact that Jamie did a good job of wrangling the family and bridal party and commanded their attention during pictures so that I wouldn't have to. Our pictures turned out amazing. Photography is the one thing for your wedding besides your venue that you shouldn't skimp on. Hire someone with great reviews that is your style and you won't be dissappointed. We wanted an edgy, urban, and glamourous style in our photos and that is exactly what we got.
Mike and Jamie Ellis did an amazing job photographing our engagement and wedding photos! Couldn't be happier with the results. They have been a blessing to work with and super helpful throughout the entire process to make sure that I was a happy bride! I love their casual ease and ability to take great photographs and their timeless editing to perfect pictures. I highly recommend using Breath of Life!
Mike and Jamie were wonderful to work with! They were very professional and extremely sweet and helpful! Anyone would be blessed to have them as their photographer for their special day!
Mike and Jamie were the photographers for our wedding and they did a spectacular job. They were around all day, getting all of the shots. Jamie stayed with the girls through 6 of us getting our hair and make-up done, and Mike got shots of the men getting ready. They were so easy to work with and very accommodating! They do amazing work and Jamie was even able to help sew a bridesmaid's dress. All around top notch photographers and for a great price as well. Would definitely recommend to family and friends, or to anyone looking for a photographer for their special event!
Mike and Jamie are a husband/wife team and it's really breathtaking to watch them working together. Their style is very relaxed and unobtrusive. Because they also did our engagement session, we felt very comfortable with them on our wedding day. Our pictures are beautiful! We're so happy!
Breath of Life Photography is SO much more than I expected. Their prices are worth the value. Mike and Jamie bent over backwards to make our wedding picture dreams a reality. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed! It is not even a month after our wedding and we already have our pictures back and they look amazing! Pick them, it is totally worth it!
This photographer is absolutely amazing! They were incredibly helpful and flexible. The pictures taken were absolutely beautiful and certainly comparable with other photographers charging twice as much! They were amazing to work with and I look forward to being able to use them again once we decide to have children!
