This is who you want to hire for your wedding photographer!

Brad did a wonderful job! The photos captured every detail of the wedding and reception. The pictures bring out the Bride and Groom's personalities. He knows what to do and does it well. Very professional. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needed a wedding photographer. You won't be disappointed. He made the day very easy.

The best day ever!!

Brad has been so fun to work with. From answering many questions before and after the wedding in a timely matter to our actual wedding day. He showed up on time and was a joy to have hang with us for the day! It was the best day ever and he made sure to help keep us on track with getting the pictures we wanted for our special day. He sent us literally every shot he took and I love that we had so many awesome pictures to have forever. (Made it really hard to choose for our album he is helping design!). He even gave us a credit towards pictures we wanted printed! I highly recommend using Brad, the quality and price cannot be beat!

Friendly and very easy to work with, beautiful photos

Brad was responsive and easy to work with from day one. We’re very happy with our decision to have him as our photographer. He was well-priced and the pictures turned out gorgeous. We even ended up getting stuck in the rain day-of which unfortunately affected his camera, but he had a backup and never complained once!

Thanks for everything Brad!

Amazing Experience

Brad is awesome and our wedding photos are amazing! He's a really chill guy that was so easy to work with. He helped my husband and I pose and never stopped taking photos throughout the night.

Hire brad!

Hiring Brad was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. He was one of the most affordable local photographers we could find, and we loved the natural, candid look of his photos. He is incredibly professional while also being very laid back and flexible. He went to 5 different locations the day of the wedding and got great shots at each one. He is experienced and can give great advice if you're needing help (e.g., where to go if your outdoor shoot gets rained out), but is also very open to your ideas (e.g., going to a place that is meaningful to you). I can't recommend Brad strongly enough!

Such a great guy!

Brad is not only a great photographer at a reasonable price, but such a laid back guy! We honestly enjoyed having him take our engagement photos and wedding pictures. He does a wonderful job and is super chill; never did he pressure anything. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks Brad!

Brad is exactly what his website says he is -- a great Columbus photographer at a great price. My husband and I got married on 8/4/18 in Wooster Ohio and Brad agreed to take the trip north to photograph our wedding. It was a priority for me to find vendors I could work well with and I could not have been more pleased with every interaction we had with Brad-- he is unfailingly polite, easygoing, reliable, flexible, and a clear communicator. I would recommend his great service and professional skills to anyone!

My (now) husband and I used BLY photography for our wedding a couple weeks ago and are so thrilled with the experience. Here's why:

1. While meeting with Brad for the first time, he was very professional, but also personable and kind, so he was a pleasure to work with!

2. We explained to him that both of us are very awkward, don't like being the center of attention, and feel very, very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Because of his calm, down to earth demeanor and his awesome skills, all of our pictures look great and you can't even tell how weird we feel!

3. He remained light hearted, kind, professional, and patient with us despite how freakin' weird we felt lol. Thanks for that, Brad!

4. Quality for cost! Finding a photographer with skill that won't completely rob you is hard to do in Columbus. He is a fair and genuine photographer!

5. Timeliness: He showed up on time, got all the shots in we needed on time, and all of our photos were completed and returned to us in 10 days!

6. Flexibility: I asked for a second shooter about a week before the wedding (sorry, Brad!) and though he warned me that it might not be possible just a week out, he was still able to find someone! He also showed no sign of annoyance or irritability at my late request like I probably would have and deserved lol. Also, I think he stayed an hour over our originally agreed time because it took a little longer than expected to get to the dance party, but he didn't seem bothered by it at all!

Overall, couldn't be happier. He's great!!!

Throughout the entire wedding process, Brad was professional, responsive, flexible, very easy to work with and took amazing photos (over 1400). Leading up to the wedding, he gave us back up ideas in case it rained which made me feel much calmer (it ended up not raining!). He suggested that I send him a list of the types of photos that I wanted so that on my wedding day, I could just be in the moment and not worry about organizing photos. After the ceremony, he went through the list and organized the photos with all the family which went so smoothly! We took group photos outside with a large wedding party on a very hot day in July. I assumed most of those photos would not turn out because it was so hot. I could not have been more wrong! We have beautiful photos taken in 90 degree heat and I could not be happier! During the reception, he captured many moments that I didn't even think about. There was a particular photo I wanted to take with my bridesmaids during the reception, but I had completely forgotten about it, but Brad remembered and reminded me. It is one of my favorite photos! One top of having a great experience at our wedding, we received our wedding pictures two weeks later. I highly recommend hiring Brad!

When we got engaged, we knew having a good wedding photographer was one of our top priorities. When we started our photographer search, all the good ones seemed to be out of our price range. Then we found Brad! From our very first phone conversation, we knew he was going to be awesome. He seemed very professional and answered all of our questions. He even answered questions we didn't know we had. The first time we met Brad was at our engagement shoot. Brad gave us some recommended locations for our engagement pictures around the Columbus area and even said he would travel to a different location for a small fee. We ended up taking our engagement pictures at the Scioto Mile and Brad knew all the gorgeous spots to take photos. He was very relaxed and made us feel very comfortable. The engagement pictures turned out beautiful and we were so excited he'd be photographing our wedding. When the wedding day came, he arrived at our venue super early so he could scope out all the good spots. Brad has done so many weddings that he has the photography schedule down to a science. We had plenty of time to take pictures because Brad is so efficient at his job. We got all the pictures we wanted and they turned our PERFECT! Brad took tons of pictures and he said he'd have them back to us in 4-5 weeks. We ended up receiving our pictures in 3 weeks and we couldn't be happier. Brad captured every moment beautifully and we will be able to cherish our wedding day forever thanks to him and his amazing photography skills, knowledge and experience. We cannot thank him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
