About

Hello there. We get our kicks out of providing rockin’ experiences through a unique blend of raw photojournalism and natural portraiture. This is what we wish for with wedding photography from Innovatory: to capture photos that can stand the test of time, provide comfort, and speak to the relationships we have with one another.

Based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, Innovatory was born 13 years ago. We trained and released 3 teams of photographers and shot hundreds of weddings along the way. Nowadays Joseph shoots documentary films all over the world and Brooklyn loves capturing the off-to-the-side moments that Joseph doesn’t see, making them a dynamic team.

If the idea of relaxing and having loads of fun on your wedding day sounds appealing, then we might be a good fit :)

10% of profits are donated to worthy causes that serve at-risk kids and women including Compassion International, AIM, Mercy Ministries and Living Water Christian Mission in Haiti.

Joe photographed our wedding this summer and we could not be happier with the pictures. He was so kind, easy going, down to earth, and flexible! The pictures were beautiful and authentic.The best part is that he was able to capture the moments without distracting us from living in the moment (something that was very important to me as I have been very distracted by photographers at other peoples' weddings in the past)- during the ceremony and reception we hardly even notice him taking pictures! I will definitely recommend innovatory photography in the future

Hire This Man

Although I'd love to keep Joe a secret from everyone else, he deserves all the praise. We hired him for our engagement pictures and liked them so much that we flew him out to Denver for our wedding. Joe really knew how to capture the style and lighting we wanted and delivered more than we could have thought. Photos aside, Joe and his wife are two of the most genuine, flexible, and fun people. We had a great time just chatting with them. If you're looking for any type of photographer, Joe is your guy.

Captured Perfectly

Joe and Brooklyn made our wedding day a day we will remember forever! They never got in our way and captured the best candid photos and helped us pose for the best portraits I could imagine. Having a slideshow of day-of photos for guests to see blew us out of the water. We are extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of the photos of this dynamic duo! We would highly recommend hiring them for your big day!

We have been delighted with Kyle and Jamie from the first phone call through every step of the way. They were both genuinely interested in hearing what we wanted--spontaneous pictures to capture the moments in between moments--and delivered gorgeous pictures. We were on a tight budget but wanted the best images we could get, they delivered whole-heartedly!

We wanted photographers that were more photojournalistic in style, but could also take posed pictures. Also... our budget was limited. Kyle and Jamie fit all of our needs. They were willing to have our prep meetings over the phone since we don't live in Cincinnati. They took pictures throughout the preparation process, the ceremony, and the first half of the reception. They were easy to get along with, and never got in the way. They were like ninjas during the reception! They even had some of our pictures playing on a slideshow during the reception. The pictures came out beautifully, and we got digital copies as well as a book as part of our photography package.

Kyle and Jamie worked with us for our big day and we were extremely impressed with their work. We decided to opt out of engagement pictures so I was nervous because we didn't take any pictures with them prior to our big day. However, they set up a meeting with us and put us at ease with covering all the details and getting to know eachother. They were so kind, genuine, and go with the flow. Their style is very hands off, as they like to capture moments as they happen naturally. We were SO happy with all our pictures. From the candid shots, to posed bridal/family pictures, etc--they did an outstanding job! My guests were complimenting the ~20 picture slideshow displayed during the reception. They were BEAUTIFUL. Kyle & Jamie are an excellent price considering they will come for unlimited hours AND provide a "photo booth". We provided a black sheet to hang on a wall, but they had an entire iPad system that took pictures. We are so glad we booked them for our big day. Again, I can't say enough great things :) They were so professional, timely, and great to work with!! THANK YOU KYLE AND JAMIE!!

Jake and Krista were phenomenal! They put us at ease and worked tirelessly to get all of the pictures we wanted from the big day. They even agreed to help me surprise the groom last minute with a fun prank during the reveal. 11/10 would use again, and I have already recommended them to several friends. If I ever need to hire someone to take photos in the future, this is going to be the first place I look to. Thank you so much, Jake and Krista!

Kyle and Jamie were our photographers for our wedding this June, we couldn't be more pleased with the photos! They were super easy to work with and very accommodating. As far as value goes we definitely made the right decision going with these two! Thanks

Jake and Krista were our photographers and I don't think I have enough words to describe how wonderful they both were. At first I was a little nervous becaues we booked them a little over a year before our wedding date (nice getting it out of the way, but scary thinking maybe they wouldn't still be working...). Leading up to the wedding Jake facetimed with us because we live out of town and he made me feel way better about it all. We discussed everything we wanted and he gave us a lot of good tips. Two days before the wedding I started freaking out because the weather was showing rain and we had planned for outdoor pictures. I sent him a text and he instantly relieved my stress by suggesting a place indoors to take pictures.

The day of was what made this experience so much better. Jake and Krista came to the location I was getting ready at and instantly started a conversation with me and my bridesmaids. I usually don't like people taking pictures of me but they made me feel very comfortable. Then, they had to wait for me and my girls to get to the park to take our pictures (traffic and the typcial girls taking forever to get ready pushed us behind) but they were very patient with us. Even the pictures after the ceremony went quick so we could all enjoy ourselves at the reception.

If I had to recommend any photographer for friends in the area, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jake and Krista! Such a great pair. Easy to work with, and fun to work with! Wish we would have lived in the area so we could have done our engagement pictures with them!
