Gardner Photography & Design

We are more than just photographers...

we are storytellers.

You’re Engaged? Awesome…..and Woo Hoo! Congratulations on your engagement, and thanks for your interest in Gardner Photography and Design! We’re excited to talk with you about your special day and hope to have the opportunity to be a part of it. A big part of it.

A Big Part of It? One word – YES. Your wedding photographer is important and should be a big part of your day. Finding the perfect photographer is very important. They don’t need to be perfect for everyone – just perfect for YOU. So, you’ll want to make sure you find the right one! Think about it. This person is going to follow you around all day without being annoying or in your face all the time. They’re going to be there when you’re (possibly) in your underwear or half naked. They’re going to meet your parents, grandparents, family and best friend from Kindergarten (well, maybe not them, but your best friends for sure!). They’re going to tell you to kiss your partner. A lot. And they may adjust your clothing or hair. They might be there when family secrets are told, tears are shed and special moments are made. Oh, and they’re going to be entrusted with one of the most important roles at your wedding – to capture split-second moments that speak volumes about the joining of two families. They’re going to tell your story and create images that you will treasure and share with your loved ones. Forever. So, why would you hire just anyone for such an important job??? Well, you wouldn’t, of course!

We Want to See More of Your Work!

What do Past Clients Say About You?

Where do You Photograph Weddings?

Great – because we want to show you more!

Well, they love us, of course! And we love them right back. You can read reviews here:

We mostly photograph weddings around our home in Cincinnati. This takes us to Northern Kentucky and Indiana, too. However, we are open to destination weddings but will only do a limited number each year. We have several children – we’d miss them too much if we were traveling all the time.

You Tube Channel – eMotion Albums Flickr – lots of online galleries Facebook – sneak peeks and fun stuff Blog – lots of great info!

How do We Book You?

What Payment Methods do You Take?

Anything Else We Should Know?

You ready to secure your date? Woo hoo, we’re excited! And it’s super easy. We ask for a $250 deposit to hold your date. This is applied to your total package price. And then, two weeks prior to the wedding, you will owe the balance. Most couples pay their balance during the pre-wedding session, but you can also mail it.

Check, cash (in person) and money orders. We currently don’t accept credit cards due to the processing fees - a savings we can pass onto you. We can also work with you on a payment plan – just ask!

We might sneak a piece of cake at your wedding. Christie eats the icing, and Andy eats the cake, so we really just need one piece. We hope that’s okay. Oh, and Christie will probably tear up. You might see her behind the camera, wiping her eyes. She says it’s her contacts, but don’t believe her. She perks up when they play “Cupid Shuffle” – you might see her sneak in a few moves.

So, Why Should You Hire Us for Your Wedding or Other Event? We are more than just photographers – we are storytellers. Fresh, fun, and full of life, photos by Christie and Andy Gardner capture the best things about getting married and being in love. With two creative perspectives and a deeply shared passion for people and relationships, Christie and Andy pour their hearts into their photography – and it shows! Covering every detail of your wedding day unobtrusively, this phenomenal duo captures your most touching, spontaneous moments, and they’re always at the ready to turn photo-ops of you and your guests into fabulous, one-of-a-kind images. Through the lens, Andy and Christie capture split-seconds that speak volumes about their couples. Andy specializes in the sweet moments of tears and laughter to the intimate glances that reveal so much about relationships. Christie composes images of emotion, tenderness, love, humor – telling your stories through pictures. Together they turn real life moments into art in an instant.
