About this vendor
My life in wedding photography started as an apprentice to a master photographer lugging equipment, loading countless rolls of film, and driving all over Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky for two years. I learned a lot during that period of my life and found myself looking forward to Fridays and Saturdays; not for the weekend off, but the next wedding!
More than 1000 weddings later, I still believe the best wedding pictures are real moments, photographed in the most beautiful way possible.
I think the best wedding pictures do not look posed, even if they are posed sometimes. The best wedding pictures are you being you. I want your photographs to express who you are, naturally.
However, my second photographer thinks the best wedding pictures are the candids, the in-between moments. It's an on-going in-house competitively fun contest we play against each other. And the winner is you two!
We make a great team! We'd love to join your wedding team.

Tammy did my photographs back in 2022 for my wedding and they turned out wonderful. Beautiful pictures - I'm so excited to get them hanging on my wall finally. She was easy to work with, which was awesome as I can be an anxious person. She captured the day well and I am so happy I went with her.
Tammy and Tom did an excellent job capturing our engagement and wedding photos! The package we chose also included a physical photo album, a live photo booth, and a highlight video. These all turned out amazing as well. Tammy was very helpful with planning out the day and making sure that there would be plenty of time to take all of the photos we wanted in multiple locations, without feeling rushed. We ended up receiving about 600 beautiful photos. Guests loved the live photo booth, it was so much fun, and I love being able to see all of my family and friend's photos that were taken. The photo album is crisp and detailed, it is so nice to pull out and flip through. We have it proudly displayed on a shelf in our living room! The highlight video really does capture all of the highlights of our wedding day, from getting ready to the ceremony itself, to everyone having a blast on the dance floor. It is very professionally edited and high quality. One note to mention: communication was occasionally delayed, and the delivery of our photos took slightly longer than originally stated, so keep that in mind if prompt replies are a deal-breaker. Overall we are very happy with our wedding photos and would recommend Tammy Bryan!
Tammy’s photographs are unmatched! We hired her after seeing the wonderful work she did at my sister’s wedding the year before! Amazingly, she was in our budget! She was very responsive and made sure she fully captured our vision. The sneak peek photos are so bright and beautiful, and we can’t wait to see the rest!
Hiring Tammy was the best decision ever! She’s polite, organized, punctual and friendly – the only thing better than working with Tammy was seeing the results! Our pictures are gorgeous!! We highly recommend Tammy!!!
We had the pleasure and the privilege of having our wedding photographed by Tammy Bryan and her husband Tom. Every single thing was perfect, from the first contact to the very last thing. They are amazing people, really committed to their work, they are not just photographers, they care about the wedding, they care about connecting with the people to make them comfortable to get the best shots. Everybody loved their professionalism and were amazed by our pictures. For incomparable technical capacity, professionalism and creativity, we strongly recommend Tammy and Tom!
Best of the best! Excellent attention to detail! Excellent work! Excellent follow-up! Tammy Bryan exceeded our expectations in every way. We would 110% recommend Tammy to our friends!!!
So easy to work with, accommodating, flexible and talented! We can’t believe how well the photos captured our personalities, our family, and the feeling we were going for. The photos captured everyone so genuinely and we never felt overly posed or cheesy. The time does fly by so fast day-of and we are so grateful we have so many little moments from that day captured so beautifully. Tammy and Tom were also significantly more affordable and flexible than most of the other vendors we had considered. Absolutely recommend them!
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was picking Tammy Bryan to photograph it. She was absolutely amazing from taking our engagement photos to capturing the perfect moments from our wedding day. She is hardworking, dependable, and calm under pressure. I appreciated her attention to detail to capture the most wonderful memories from our wedding. Tammy was easy to work with as we planned our wedding day, and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a wedding photographer!
I feel so lucky to have found Tammy. Our photos turned out amazing. Beyond what I had imagined. All of my family and friends were blown away. Not only have I been raving about her talent, I have also been telling everyone how kind she was. She was caring and flexible. Basically any question I had, I came to her. I have never had an experience like that. She really went above and beyond. My husband and I love Tammy so much! If you are thinking about booking her, you need to contact her now! She books up very fast. You will love her!
We’ve been struggling on how to write a review that captures our true gratitude for Tammy! Such a wonderful experience having Tammy capture our wedding! She was very friendly and down to earth while making two awkward people look like models in front of her camera. We are obsessed with our wedding photos and video! I cannot recommend Tammy enough!
Tammy and her crew are amazing. She did our engagement shoot and 8 hours of wedding coverage. She was very helpful with suggestions for photo locations and poses (my husband and I are not good at posing for photos, lol). While it does take 8 weeks for my photos to come back (I got married in Oct so it takes longer with all the other weddings going on), she had a couple of preview photos ready for me within a couple days of the wedding. I would recommend Tammy to anyone looking for an amazing photographer at a reasonable price.
I cannot say enough positive things about Tammy! She managed to make my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'm so happy with how amazing our photos turned out! The photos were so good I couldn’t decide which one to use for our album cover. I highly recommend Tammy to any bride!
WE LOVE ALL OF OUR PHOTOS!!!! When searching for a photographer, my husband and I wanted our photos to be vibrant and for our photographer to have worked with diverse couples. Tammy knocked these requirements out of the park! Her work is wonderful. She is very organized and answered ALL of our questions. (I had many!) Thank you so much Tammy for everything! We wish we could get married again ;)
There is no one else in the world I would have wanted to shoot our wedding! Tom was amazing and did everything in his power to make sure that we got the pictures we wanted in the locations we wanted them in. We went to Hocking Hills and it was unusually packed, but you would never know it by looking at the killer pictures Tom was able to capture. He was so patient, creative, and determined - we are SOOO GRATEFUL! The amount of talent and skills between Tammy & Tom are immeasurable and I am so happy they were willing to take us on as a client. I will highly recommend them to all of my friends and family, and anyone else that will listen to me!
Tom and his assistant did an amazing job capturing pictures of my husband & I on our special day! They are absolutely beautiful and I can’t thank them enough!

I love Love LOVED working with Tammy!! She went above and beyond. Tammy has an easy way about her that made our wedding day feel natural and very comfortable. She’s friendly, communicative, professional...and a great photographer! Our pictures were absolutely stunning. I even had wedding guests compliment me on what a great photographer she was. Highly recommend Tammy!
Tammy and Tom are professional, talented and fun photographers!! They not only told us how to pose, but they had such a diverse amount of looks and background selections. Our wedding and engagement photos turned out beautiful yet genuine. They made us, our bridal party, and most importantly, our families feel so comfortable and at ease. Tammy and Tom are the dream team!
We came across Tammy's work and immediately liked her style her photos are beautiful. She knew all the right spots for photos, directed us in poses, and ended up capturing the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen (is that really me...the unphotogenic camera-shy groom?!)!
Quick. Efficient. Fun! Completely unobtrusive and friendly. Definitely one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I would hire Tammy again in a heartbeat!
Tammy is such a wonderful photographer on so many levels her pictures are simply stunning! She is also super easy to work with and was a pleasure at the wedding itself. She did a fantastic job! We would definitely photograph with her again!
We are extremely grateful to have found Tammy for our wedding and engagement pictures. She is so gifted and truly captured every special moment of our day! Working with Tammy was easy even since we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Tammy’s easy to connect with and makes her sessions fun! Not to mention she helped make all the madness of our wedding day run smooth. We couldn’t be more happy and pleased with how our pics turned out! We appreciate you so much Tammy!
I can’t begin to describe how amazing tammy and tom were last night at our wedding! Not only were they reasonably priced, but so sweet, professional, and talented! They made our day so fun and relaxed and I couldn’t have asked for anything else! Thank you so much Tammy!
Incredible photographers, dedicated, professional, direct, but not overbearing, and produced absolutely beautiful pictures!
I was immediately drawn to Tammy's photos and knew I had to have her. Although we have only received some sneak peaks, we couldn't be happier. Tammy and her husband have been accommodating and wonderful to work with. If you are looking for someone to capture your day in a way no other photographer can, book her asap!
Awesome team that really captured our moments! Highly recommend!
Tammy and her assistant were punctual and so delightful to work with. We had such a large bridal party but they handled it so wonderfully. Very pleased with my results and would highly recommend.
The pictures are absolutely stunning. Tammy did such a beautiful job and we’re so overwhelming happy with how they turned out. We’re so grateful that we’ll have these pictures to remember our wedding day forever.
Tammy and Tom did a fantastic job with our wedding photos. They had a lot of great ideas and the photographs were amazing. I would definitely recommend using them as your wedding photographer as well.
I really enjoyed working with Tom and Tammy. They both did my engagement session and unfortunately due to COVID we were unable to keep our first wedding date and Tammy was unable to be there due to prior obligations but Tom and his side kick Stephanie were there and I have only seen sneak peaks of Engagement and Wedding pictures but I love them so very much. Thank you for capturing the best day ever! I would totally recommend Tammy, Tom and Stephanie!
Tammy Bryan and her husband were total professionals that captured my day better than I could’ve ever hoped! They’re pricing is awesome considering all they gave us with the included engagement shoot, a professional photo booth setup at the wedding, and short video recordings. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for some gorgeous photos from experienced professionals!
My fiancé and I had a wonderful time during our engagement shoot and wedding day with Tammy and Tom. Tammy was a consummate professional from booking, to the photo shoots, to delivery of the photos. I'm one of those people who obsessively research reviews and the work of wedding vendors, so trust me when I say I dug DEEP before choosing a photographer, and Tammy was IT! Aside from her obvious talent, it was her guidance and attention to detail that I loved most. She captured moments and details I was hoping for, without me having to ask. Having Tammy be a part of our wedding was truly one of the best investments! Highly recommend this talented photographer.
You need to hire Tammy for your wedding. Working with her was a dream. She is detail-oriented, smart, fun, and experienced while having such a creative and artistic eye. Tammy is such a knowledgeable resource leading up to the wedding day. She made both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera (something I never would have imagined for myself) and adjusted our hair/clothing/accessories as needed to make sure we looked great in our photos. Her final images are consistently edited and are romantic. She went above and beyond on our day to get perfect pictures. Our families and friends loved working with her and love her finished photos even more. I have had multiple family members say our wedding photos look like they could be in a magazine, and I must agree! We can’t thank her enough! If you hire Tammy, know you are hiring a true professional photographer you can trust with your precious memories. Book her, you won’t be disappointed!
My husband and I are very happy we chose to work with Tammy as our wedding photographer. Given the circumstances with COVID19, Tammy was flexible with our terms agreement as our reception venue was requiring us to postpone to a later date, but we still wanted to get married and have pictures taken on our planned day. On the day of the wedding, Tammy was extremely easy to work with, open to photo ideas I suggested, and very calm, cool, and collected through it all. Tammy and her husband Tom even offered to live stream the ceremony since we had many guests who were unable to attend. The sneak peek pictures turned out great and we are so excited to see the rest! We are looking forward to working with them again for our postponed reception in 2021. Highly recommend!
Tammy has officially won best photographer ever in my book. Tammy and her husband are a dream team!! Our photos turned out so beautiful! I'm so glad that my husband and I selected Tammy to be our wedding photographer. She shot our engagement and wedding day. Our guests were so complimentary about how great she was at our wedding and how beautiful our photos turned out. I would re-hire her again in a heartbeat. I really struggled to find good recommendations on a photographer in Cincinnati. Most people told me who NOT to use. I found Tammy Bryan Wedding Photography through The Knot and couldn't be happier!
Stay away! Last fall I hired Tammy Bryan Photography; whom I found on The Knot. At that time, I paid a $900 deposit for her to photograph my daughter's wedding on April 25, 2020. Because of the Coronavirus outbreak, the church and the reception site closed in mid March. I immediately called all of our wedding vendors to request a refund of our deposits. Eleven companies refunded our deposits. But not Tammy Bryan Photography. Not only did Tammy refuse to refund my deposit, she demanded the remaining balance! Below is an excerpt from her husband's letter to me:
"Therefore, you are legally responsible for the entire amount of the wedding photography service agreement. You have until March 25, 2020 to fulfill your $1214.70 legal responsibility. After that date, you will be in breach of contract.
If we do not receive your payment by the end of day, March 25, 2020, I will turn your account over to a collection agency."
It looks like I will not be getting my deposit back. But I would not want this to happen to other brides. In my opinion, they are not a reputable business.
I am so glad I saw Ms. Bryan’s true colors before my wedding. Tammy’s pricing and packages are very attractive, which was the main reason I signed a contract with her. She included an engagement session at a very reasonable price. There are no restrictions or days you can do an engagement session on her pricing page of her website. There was nothing about this in my contract either. But she will tell you that because on the FAQ page of her website there is a question about engagement session locations, she will hold you to that or upcharge you to drive to another location. She advertised herself as a Dayton wedding photographer, however her engagement sessions are only held Monday-Thursday in Covington Kentucky. We advised we were unable to make that work due to our work schedules. We asked for quotes to get her to drive to Dayton during the week…and her response was to tell us that she has had many people be able to come from Columbus and not miss work, picked a random day and told us exactly what time we could leave our house to make it to her shoot location and her desired timing. Otherwise it would be an additional $120-$192 for her to come to us. Not sure why she was pushing KY when we said we couldnt do that. Or why she was telling me we should just make it work because other people had. I didn’t appreciate the extra charges, but worst of all I worried about how she would act on our wedding day if she is being this specific about the engagement pictures. What if this wasn’t the look I was going for for my pictures, as the paying customer? At this point I advised her that I was not going to be needing her services (4 months before our wedding) and requested half my $900 deposit back, as none of this is laid out in the contract. I was met with immediate hostility and told that the contract covers every word on her website, and I should have read through 37 FAQ’s before signing the contract. You would think an honest photographer would be more upfront about the engagement session location since we specifically talked about it in depth on a facetime meeting before I signed the contract. After a few emails back and forth with Tammy, her husband Tom got involved when I advised I would be filing in small claims court to try to get some to my deposit back due to the unclear terms of the contract. Tom threatened to send me to collections for the balance of the contract amount (even though NO services were to be rendered). He also advised if i write any reviews anywhere he will sue me for defamation and slander. I certainly would never want to work for a company who threatens your first amendment right to free speech to review the company you are PAYING for a service. If you look closely through her reviews, you will see any negative review is met with the same spite and self-admitted aggressive behavior they gave me. Another google reviewer even made reference to them getting negative reviews removed. I can already tell you they are going to say that I overreacted to a friendly suggestion. I personally think googling the distance from my house to a country club in a different state and telling me what time I could leave my home to make it to her location is a little more than a “friendly suggestion”. I only want to share my personal experience I had with this company. I suggest you thoroughly review her website before booking her, and are comfortable with all FAQs on her website as they pertain to your wedding.
Tammy and her Husband made our wedding day so special, comfortable, and a lot of fun. They captured every single moment with professional and candid photos we will cherish forever. The final photos turned out so amazingly beautiful, it completely exceeded my expectations!! They are amazing to work with and you won’t be disappointed!!
Tammy and Tom were absolutely wonderful! They immediately put you at ease so you have fun even if you're not used to being in front of the camera. and our pictures turned out amazing!
Hiring Tammy to photograph our wedding was the best decision we could have made. All of our guests raved about how impressed they were by Tammy and Tom’s expertise. We had such an incredible time with her and enjoyed every minute! She made posing and interacting so easy and fun. Tammy was one of the best parts of our day. I felt like she was another (better) wedding coordinator. Our pictures came out amazing despite having an insanely windy day. Tammy made some major changes in our picture locations when things didn't go as planned because of weather. Today, those pictures are blown up around my house. I can't rave enough about Tammy. She truly was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made! I would most definitely recommend Tammy and Tom Bryan!
Tammy & Tom were amazing from the photography done to the perfect spot for our engagement pictures. They are professional & do an amazing job!
I remember like it was yesterday, walking into the bridal show at the convention center northern Kentucky and seeing this tall guy walk up with a smile to say hi. We were looking for a photographer and found a humble family doing photographer . Best experience from the beginning to the end not to mention the detail they put into capturing the shots taken. Tammy is a world class photographer with a sharp edge on everyone else. Highly recommend the experience for anyone. Well worth your time
Very professionally done photographs. Glad to have them photograph our wedding!
Tammy and Tom were absolutely amazing! They were very professional and took beautiful pictures. I would recommend them 100%!
I cannot express how thankful I am to Tammy, Tom, and Zach for capturing my engagement session, and my wedding day. They are the most absolutely amazing people I have ever met before. They photographed my brothers wedding back in 2011, did a spectacular job, so I knew I had to choose them for mine as well. They did not dissappoint. They were professional, very punctual, easy to communicate with, down to earth, and seriously so much fun. Nervous on your wedding day? They make it all go away, they truly did that for me. Seriously... they took the exact pictures I wanted, and I didn't even have to ask. They make you feel like family. I can't express the gratitude I have for them, they are one of a kind, and I recommend them for whatever occasion you need photographed. I know I'll be using them for all of my upcoming needs, I truly am so thankful they were brought into my life, and I can't wait to keep in touch! :)
Tammy and Tom were amazing and professional the entire time! They did a fantastic job with our engagement session and wedding day! My husband and I are clueless on how to pose for pictures, they worked with us and instructed us the entire time on what to do. They also were able to get candid pictures of guests and family and they turned out perfect! I am in love with my pictures and so glad I chose Tammy to take them!
They say your wedding day flies by in the blink of an eye, and no truer words have been spoken. Our day went by extremely quick but I am so, so happy to have the pictures Tammy gave us to cherish forever. Tammy was very professional and kind. Loved her photos and how quickly we got them. If we had to do the day all over again, we would choose Tammy Bryan photography over and over again. Thank you so much !!!!
From our first meeting with Tammy and her husband Tom, we felt like we were in good hands. They made us feel like our wedding day was as special to them as it was to us. This feeling carried through to our engagement session and the wedding day itself. It was clear Tammy and Tom have done this many, many times before. They were very knowledgeable and professional, directing without seeming overbearing or pushy. Beyond their photography work, they did a great job keeping everything on schedule and were a pleasure to work with throughout the day. After the wedding, they communicated often, keeping us up to speed on how our photos were coming along. We are very happy with the photos and feel they captured our day very well. We would highly recommend Tammy Bryan Photography to anyone looking for a genuine, compassionate, and skilled team!
Tammy Bryan. Best. Wedding photographer. Ever. After looking at Tammy’s work, it was obvious we had to go with her as she clearly knows what she’s doing when it comes to “real” photography! Not only was she cool, calm, and collected throughout the planning process, she maintained that vibe on our wedding day which made us truly enjoy being her "models" during our big day! All of the pictures are all so fantastic! We had a great time going through everything and reliving the day once we got our photos. A lot of laughing going on with the reception - it was wonderful! Especially Tom and his live photo booth! Not only was it fun, the pictures are simply amazing! We've been slowly returning to real life post honeymoon and this has been a really fun reminder of everything that happened during our wedding day! Especially the stuff we didn't get to see!! Definitely recommend Tammy and Tom for your wedding day!
We worked with both Tammy & Tom for our engagement and wedding pictures, which was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding! We had an urban wedding and their ability to photograph both us and the city is incredible. Tammy and Tom are a delight to work with, professional, and their photos are stunning. Our family and friends have not stopped raving about the photos since we got them back. They are incredibly personable and made the entire experience very enjoyable. They listened to what our vision was, took complete creative control over our photo shoots, and delivered above and beyond what we had hoped for. Most importantly, Tammy and Tom always made themselves available to answer any questions we had and were ready to hop in to help in any way they could the day of our wedding. We would recommend Tammy and Tom to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer! Thank you so much Tammy and Tom!
I don't even know where to start! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer or person to capture our day. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tammy out of the insane number of wedding photographers in Cincinnati!
Our pictures are simply amazing. The highlight video had us both in tears and made us smile and laugh in equal measure. The emotions, the hidden moments and the little gestures were so gorgeously taken I don't think there’s any doubt that our wedding pictures will bring a smile to our face and a tear to eyes forever.
From the very first emails it felt like we were chatting with an old friend, and her presence on our wedding day felt just the same. We said to each other, if Tammy hadn't been our photographer, we would have wanted her at our wedding as a guest!
Our pictures tell such a wonderful story of our day. For any couple reading this while wading through the insane number of Cincinnati wedding photographers listed here on the Knot, you can stop looking because you won’t find any nicer or more professional or more talented or better priced photographer than Tammy Bryan!!
