Columbus Wedding Photographer

Tom Feisel is available to photograph in Columbus, its suberbs, and around all of central Ohio. Based in Westerville, Ohio, Tom is centrally located to reach all of Ohio, as well as Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana. He has photographed at the Columbus Museum of Art, Franklin Park Conservatory, Park of Roses, The Short North District, and downtown Columbus.

Cleveland Wedding Photographer

In Cleveland, Tom loves to photograph at the Rock and Roll hall of fame, anywhere near playhouse square and the House of Blues. Downtown Cleveland offers a great deal of photo oppurtunities, lots of great buildings and textured walls to add contextual contrast. There are no limits to the number of locations we can go on your wedding day, just as long as we can reasonably fit them into the amount of time between the ceremony and the reception.

Akron Wedding Photographer

In Akron, downtown is the new place to be for pictures. The Akron Art Museum after being remodeled the past few years, offers impressive steel exteriors to have fun with. Walk a few blocks west to the main strip where Canal Park is located as well as many brick walls that we love to shoot against. The University of Akron is also nearby, contributing to the unique city scape of downton Akron. If a more quiet setting is what you're after, Stan Hywet Gardens are just down the road, one of my personal favorite places to photograph weddings.

Trash the Dress

Trashing the dress is mroe about creating than destroying, most times the dress can be perfectly restored to its original condition after a trip to the dry cleaners. It's all about having fun, it's not anti wedding or anything like that. It gives you the chance to have some amazing photography created in your wedding gown that you wouldn't have had done the day of the wedding. Not interested in getting wet, then you don't have to. TTD is about matching your vision with my own, nothing is out of bounds, but you won't be asked to do anything that you're not completely comfortable with. Trash the dress sessions are tons of fun, you get to be a model for a day. And, they make for great gifts to your future hubby.
 
 
 

Moment | mo•ment | A brief, indefinite interval of time | A specific point in time, especially the present time | A particular period of importance, influence, or significance in a series of events or developments

Moments are all around us. Sometimes they’re small, like a quick glance at your bouquet. Sometimes they’re huge, like the overwhelming joy of you’ll feel during your first kiss. Your wedding will be filled with hundreds of moments and you’ll want to hold on to every single one of them. It can be tough though, even as hard as you try. Often these indefinite periods of time can leave us as fast as they come and all we have left is a memory.

Your photographer’s job is to capture the moments of your day so the memories of your wedding will never fade. Husband and Wife photographers Tom and Meredith Feisel, know the importance of your wedding photographs. “We want to make sure we capture the essence of the wedding,” says Tom, “Each wedding is so unique, and it’s important to approach each one with a fresh eye. You won’t find us doing any cookie-cutter photography.”

This approach shows through in their work. “You’ll really get a sense of how we’ll photograph your wedding by looking through our galleries,” says Meredith, “And keep an eye on our blog too, Tommy updates it all the time with the most recent weddings we’ve photographed.”

Tom and Meredith live in Columbus, Ohio but serve all of Ohio. Tom started New Age Foto in Akron, Ohio and frequently travels to Cleveland for his clients. They’re both available to travel world wide.

Planning your wedding can be a daunting task at times, below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions to make it easier!

Do you have a standard shot /set up list?
Tom and Meredith will work with you before the wedding to find out what parts of the day mean the most to you and make sure to focus on those. Tom has been photographing weddings for a long time and knows which moments are important to every bride. Because of his free-style approach though, Tom does not work from a list while photographing your wedding. He says, “While trying to photograph everything on a list, I might end up missing your wedding!”  Tom depends on building trust and relationships before the wedding so that lists are never needed.

Can I see samples from the photographer shooting my wedding?
All of the work and examples on our website are REAL weddings photographed by Tom.

Where have you photographed weddings before?
Tom has photographed at many of NEO’s and central Ohio’s most popular wedding venues, like Windows on the River, The Arcade, The Wyndham, the Sheraton Suites in Cuyahoga Falls, Guy’s Party Center, Glenmoore Country Club, Firestone Country Club, Stan Hywet Gardens, Fieldcrest in North Canton, and more.

We’re happy to work with you and your other wedding vendors before the wedding if necessary. At the wedding, Tom will communicate with coordinators and Dj’s in a way that benefits everyone.

Because of our free-style approach, there are no limits to the number of photographs we take. It is normal for Tom to take at least 800-1,000 photographs during your wedding.

How many of those pictures will be in my proof gallery after the wedding?
Typically you can expect anywhere between 500-800 photographs in your proof gallery.

How many hours prior to the ceremony will you arrive?
That all depends on your schedule. It is preferred to begin photographs of the Bridal Party’s preparations 2 hours before the ceremony begins. During this time we photograph the Bride and Groom getting ready (separately of course!) and also some light portraiture of each the B+G with their Parents, Grandparents and Bridal Party members.
