Simmons Photography, led by the dynamic duo Julia and Matt, captured our most precious moments with unparalleled skill and finesse. From engagement to wedding and rehearsal photos, they made the entire process effortless and enjoyable.
What sets Julia and Matt apart is not just their exceptional talent behind the lens, but also their warm and approachable demeanor. Their easygoing nature instantly put us at ease, making the photo sessions a breeze, even for those of us who are not the most comfortable in front of a camera.
One of the highlights of working with Simmons Photography was their ability to guide us through poses with ease and expertise. Their sample poses provided invaluable inspiration, ensuring that every shot was picture-perfect.
Simmons Photography is more than just a photography service—it's an experience. Julia and Matt are not only incredibly talented professionals but also genuinely wonderful people to be around. If you're looking for timely, professional, and unforgettable photography, look no further than Simmons Photography. They went above and beyond to ensure that every moment was captured flawlessly, leaving us with a collection of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Julia and Matt are AMAZING. They are so much fun to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Their vision is amazing and it shows with such incredible photos. We would choose to work with them 100 times over. They made our wedding day run so smoothly and somehow managed to capture every single moment - big and small and we've only seen the sneak peek so far. They are such genuinely good and fun people to have around on your wedding day.
I will recommend booking Julia and Matt to any engaged couple from here on out. Our experience with these two was amazing. Even with lots of moving pieces, they were a calming and reassuring presence during the chaos of our wedding day—the stunning gallery we received a few weeks later was just the icing on the cake when it came to working with them! I love film photography, which is the reason I reached out to The Simmons in the first place, and they did not disappoint! I also gave Julia a mood board for photo inspiration, and she was able to capture the exact vibe I was hoping for by incorporating my style into our final gallery while staying true to their own brand. We received our photos very quickly and they were quick to respond to my many questions. Enough said—The Simmons are THE best in the Columbus area so book them now!
I don't even know where to begin because Julia and Matt are literal superheros! I'm so happy we found them because they made our wedding day. They worked with us to provide a custom package based on our budget and specific needs, which included an engagement shoot. Our engagement pics turned out so beautiful, so I knew our wedding photos would be just as magical. That was our first time in front of cameras, so we were a little nervous and awkward, but Julia made it such a fun and enjoyable experience. It was nice having that time for us to get to know her before the big day too. I must have had 1,000+ questions that I asked Julia throughout the process and she was always super responsive and friendly. I leaned on Julia's expertise for several different things (ex: getting ready PJs, ceremony exit, sparkler photo, etc.). She always had great advice and input! Julia also created a detailed timeline for our wedding day that we used as the master timeline for all our vendors and venue. We spent the majority of our wedding day with Julia and Matt, which is why it's SO important that you have a connection with your photographers! We were so thankful to have them by our side. Not to mention, they are such a sweet husband and wife duo. They would demonstrate some of the poses they asked us to do, which was a really helpful visual. Not only were they committed to getting the best shots, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure everything was perfect. For example, there was a bug stain on my husband's shirt while we were doing formal portraits and Matt sprinted to the bridal suite to get a Tide to Go pen. They were supposed to leave at 9pm, but my dress bustle broke (and I was beside myself) and Julia stayed late and safety pinned it for me. These are just 2 examples of the many instances where they were looking out for us and supporting us, going beyond the role of photographers. We've seen a couple of sneak peek photos from our wedding day on Instagram and they brought tears of joy to our eyes! They did an outstanding job capturing our love. We can't wait to receive the full gallery and photo album. We're very grateful to have these special photos to cherish and relive our big day over and over again. We're beyond happy with the level of service Julia and Matt provided and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding photographer in the Columbus area! THANK YOU Julia and Matt!
Julia & Matt are the best people we could've added to our vendor team. They're were as excited as we were about our wedding day, they are professional yet SO MUCH FUN, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and they captured all the candid moments along the way. And their photos - truly stunning. Hiring them was the best decision we made!!
Matt and Julia were a dream to work with and I can’t recommend them enough! When we first started looking for our wedding day photographer, we knew that we not only wanted someone who would take incredible photos, but someone who would make us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We had several meetings with prospective photographers but none of them wowed us or felt right. Enter Matt and Julia. We immediately felt at ease in their presence. The conversation flowed effortlessly and we knew within the first 15 minutes that we had found our wedding photographer. They took their time explaining their services, describing their process, and answering all the questions we had. They were truly head and shoulders above anyone else we had talked to. They are so sweet and the easiest people to work with. They compliment each other and work together seamlessly as a team. Matt and Julia are insanely talented and captured both the big and small moments from our wedding day beautifully. We were literally speechless when Julia sent us the sneak peek and we can’t wait to see the full gallery. We will continue using the Simmons over and over again as our lives unfold and our family grows. Thank you, Matt and Julia, for capturing and preserving these wonderful memories from our wedding day. You have given us a gift that we will cherish forever :)
Julia and Matt are AMAZING!!! If you hire anyone else, you are crazy. We had our wedding in Pittsburgh, PA and Julia and Matt were happy to travel there for our big day. They are so kind and SO GOOD at what they do. Not only does Julia have a social media preview ready within days of the wedding, but she also showed me edited pictures at dinner on my wedding day!!! Unbelievable!!! We also traveled to Columbus for Julia to do our engagement pictures, which was well worth the trip! We will travel to Columbus as much as possible for the rest of time for Julia and Matt to do family portraits and any other reason I can think of to have pictures done with them. I recently gifted my sister a session with them and her pictures were also outstanding and she loved Julia as much as I do!! Cannot recommend this duo enough.
The Simmons Photography is a phenomenal addition to your Creative Team! As a vendor, we have worked with Julia and Matt on various occasions and we've been blown away every time. They are professional, talented, and such a joy to work with!
I spent hours looking for the right photographer for my wedding...literally looked through more than 70 wedding photographer websites until I found Julia. Her style is incredible. The quality of her work is impeccable and she herself is a beautiful soul. My husband and I felt so comfortable with her and knew we found an absolute gem. She should be charging far more than she does for the quality of work she delivers. And she works amazing under pressure. I'm so glad I trusted her with the best day of my life. I can't wait to see how her career grows! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of our day, Julia! We'll be coming back to you for all of our family photos.
I was blessed to have been introduced to Julia by my wedding venue coordinator and she was the perfect fit! Not only is she well priced, but she delivers EXCEPTIONAL work! I had even done a boudoir shoot with her a few months before my wedding. This is not something I would've sought out on my own, but I am sure glad I did it! She made me feel relaxed and most importantly, she made me look relaxed! My entire experience with her was perfection. She turned my husband into a model! I couldn't say enough positive things about every aspect of our experience!!
Julia was awesome!! We got a beautiful snow for our wedding day, and she made our photos look like a winter wonderland. She had recommendations on what photos would be best and led us swiftly through our engagement and wedding shoots. She incorporated our suggestions. And she got our engagement photos and wedding photos to us fast! We HIGHLY recommend her as a photographer.
I've had the pleasure of working with Julia for several years now. She is so great to work with, not just because of the wonderful imagery she produces, but also because of the way she creates a stellar client experience. She remains calm in the chaos, flexible during the impossible, can think on her feet and is always willing to go above and beyond. You'd be lucky to have Julia on your wedding team.
