The BEST! Just what we wanted

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Wild Embers for both our engagement and wedding photos. Colleen and Amanda are not only incredibly talented photographers, but also just genuinely cool, kind people who made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera — no small feat for two people who don’t love being the center of attention!

Their artistic eye and attention to detail are phenomenal. The editing is gorgeous — a thoughtful blend of timeless black-and-whites and bold, vibrant color palettes. Our fall engagement session and colorful wedding each had very different vibes, and they nailed both. The photos pop in the best possible way, and honestly… we didn’t think we could look this good!

We’re based in Columbus and paid a bit extra to bring them in (hotel and travel), but even with that, the cost was still better than many other vendors we talked to — and absolutely worth every penny. They also made sure to capture the specific shots we asked for, which we really appreciated.

We can't recommend Wild Embers enough. We'll definitely be reaching out again for any future milestone moments — anniversaries, maybe even family shoots down the line. Just a fantastic experience all around.

Amazing!!!

Colleen & Amanda are hands down the best photographers we could have ever hoped for! They’re absolutely amazing, from capturing our gorgeous engagement session, helping with wedding planning details, giving us wedding day tips, to making sure our big day went as smooth as possible, and of course for capturing the most special day of our lives! We are so in love with every single one of the images we received. They captured our love so perfectly and beautifully. They truly go above and beyond to capture every precious detail and moment while also being so fun to work with and making you feel comfortable while being photographed! We cannot thank them enough for giving us the greatest gift of having so many photos to look back at for the rest of our lives! We cannot recommend them enough!!!

They are amazing!!!

Amanda and Colleen are so fun to work with! They have many years of experience with photography under their belts. They did my senior photos and the 10 years later, my engagement and wedding photos! It’s been such a pleasure to have them around for major life events. Their work is gorgeous and they also make every session fun so it’s never awkward! Definitely hire them. 🩷

Worth every penny!!

My husband and I are absolutely in love with our engagement and wedding photos. Colleen and Amanda were wonderful! My husband hates getting his photos taken and they made it fun and were able to get him to relax a little bit. They gave direction well and my family were so very impressed with them and their professionalism and their fun personalities. I highly recommend them…they are completely worth it!!

Colleen and Amanda are Wonderful!

These ladies are wonderful photographers! Colleen and Amanda made us feel really comfortable and have fun while taking both our engagement and wedding photos, which helped since both my husband or I are sorta awkward haha. They were amazing in person as well as sharing our album reveals and how they edit the photos so beautifully. I loved their photography style, which is why we hired them, but they're wonderful people too and I would definitely recommend hiring them for your wedding or any other photo shoots!

An excellent choice, you won't be disappointed!

Colleen and Amanda are incredible! They were both professional and fun to work with. My (now) wife and I hired them for our small covid wedding, and we absolutely LOVE our photos! They most definitely captured our personality and spirit! We find their photos to be extremely unique and tasteful, and we have no regrets in reaching out to them to discuss hiring them for our wedding. We would love to use them again for a future couples session!

Best Photography Experience!

The ladies of Rustic Light are the BEST! My fiancé & I had so much fun during our engagement session. Colleen & Amanda were great at making us feel comfortable right away because they were so friendly, made us laugh, & are obviously very good at what they do. We are in LOVE with our engagement photos & can't wait to have them again for our wedding day!

The best!

Colleen and Amanda are the absolute best! Our engagement and wedding photos came out amazing and we still cannot stop looking at them. Prior to our engagement shoot, we’d never had professional photos taken but they made us feel so relaxed and guided us through the whole session. We were a little nervous about how our dog would react to them/the cameras but even she loved them. On our wedding day we felt totally comfortable and had a blast with them. We truly feel like they captured our personalities. They are also incredibly responsive and flexible. They gave us great recommendations on other vendors, helped us with the wedding day timeline, and had great suggestions for photo locations. We are so happy with our decision and highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
