Hey friend...

We're the Smithers

First off: We're so glad you’re here. :)

Based in Columbus, Ohio, we have been photographing memories for half a decade, including 70+ weddings. It never gets old to us that people like you trust us to capture their most precious moments.

We're deeply passionate about the love and joy found at weddings. Making art while serving couples we adore is truly magical. We specialize in documentary-style photography, aiming to authentically capture each couple's unique story and freeze your memories so you remeber them exaclt as they were.

Can I share something with you? We feel incredibly fortunate. Being part of these weddings, surrounded by amazing people like YOU, fills us with joy. It's like stepping into a fairy tale every time, and we're thrilled to be there to capture it all. It's a definite YES from us!"

THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER.

THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR FOREVER.

Truth outlives pretension, And the stories it shares ring clear for all

You want a love ready for silver screens. You need the world to know that your love is more than shallow pools, but rich in deep waters of meaning. That you love hard, quietly, recklessly; that this goes beyond now - it stretches into forever.

We know the value of a memory, a moment. And so often, our memories fade so much quicker than we expected. We believe in the power of a photo, to be as powerful as anything, to bring tears to your eyes, to warm your heart, to give strength.

As you marry your greatest strengths and come together to shore up one another’s weaknesses, we focus on marrying meaning and memory, putting to film what really matters to you - emotions, feelings, stories.

You may remember your dress. But you will cherish your memories.

let's remember, together

We've learned who and when to focus our lens, not just what settings to put it on. If you’re looking for someone who can see you, understand what you want to remember, and let you live in the moment without worrying if you’ll miss one - you’ve found the answer to your prayers.

We're dedicated to couples in love, couples getting engaged and fiancee’s ready to braid that forever threefold-cord on their wedding day.
