Hardesty Imaging

We are Sam and Ian Hardesty, a husband and wife duo, photographer and videographer based out of Ohio. We capture couples who are best friends first and spouse's second. Your love is so true for each other and that's what we love capturing! (Yes, it may be cheesy but it's true!) We can see the joy you have for each other in your eyes. Even after years of capturing weddings, one thing we always look forward to is the cake (or pie or cupcakes or ice cream- really all the deserts). We live in our late grandparents home of 60 years with our two cats, Vesper & Stormy. In our spare time, Ian plays guitar and wood works and Sam likes to read and watch movies. Our style is bright, colorful and fun! We are sure to not only include the basics in your wedding photo and videos, we also add in some documentary, candid and funny ones too! We want you to remember your day for how it was, not just by the formal or posed times.

Our Services

We offer a variety of services to make your wedding day truly unforgettable. Our photography and videography services are designed to capture every moment of your special day. We believe that your wedding should be documented in a way that reflects your love and commitment to each other. Our services include:

• Photography: Our photography services aim to capture the beauty and joy of your wedding day. We take both posed and candid shots to ensure that we capture all aspects of your special day. Our style is bright, colorful, and fun, and we are sure to include all the basics as well as some documentary and funny shots.

• Videography: Our videography services are designed to bring your wedding day to life. We capture every moment of your special day, from the preparations to the ceremony, and from the reception to the end of the night. We have a keen eye for detail and ensure that every video is edited to perfection.

• Photo & Video Combo: To make your wedding planning easier, we offer a photo and video combo package. This package includes both our photography and videography services at a discounted rate. Instead of hiring two separate vendors, you can hire us for both your photo and video coverage needs. This not only saves you time and energy but also money with our combo package discounts.
