Columbus, OH Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Barn romance, lakefront summers, and city ballrooms — Columbus couples get all four seasons of backdrop.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Columbus

Columbus weddings mean planning with the seasons: lake light in June, fire-colored Octobers, snow-globe winters. We shoot them all, and we pack for whichever one your date draws.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Columbus surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Columbus

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Columbus than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 9:02 PM and golden hour opens around 8:21 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:52 PM — a swing of 2 hours 10 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Columbus ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Columbus

These are the Columbus venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

Questions couples in Columbus ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Columbus, OH?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Columbus wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Columbus as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Columbus before?

Not every venue in Columbus, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
