About Melchy Hill Photography
Melchy Hill Photography
Columbus Ohio Wedding Photographer | Stress-Free Timeline Planning + Candid Storytelling I've always had a love of storytelling—it's why I fell in love with photography. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll still find me behind my camera creating short films. My work has been featured at Gateway Theater for the 48 Hour Film Festival and Studio 35 for 3 Weeks of Terror. There's an incredible rush watching your film on the big screen and hearing the audience's reactions—I bring that same cinematic passion & energy to capturing your wedding day. I'm extremely passionate about what I do, and I hope you can see that when viewing my images.

Top notch Columbus OH wedding photographer
Melchy did a fantastic job with our wedding photos. From the start she was friendly, communicative and reliable. She knew our venue extremely well and had a great eye for where family portraits and first look could go. She deftly handled family dynamics, efficiently got everyone through portraits and took amazing pictures. You’re in excellent hands if you get to work with her! Thanks Melchy! We appreciate you!

Professional, Kind, and Easy to Work With
Melchy provided exactly the wedding photography services we were looking for: minimalist, using natural light, and adaptable. She was very familiar with our venue of Franklin Park Conservatory, and was able to choose locations, times, and methods that made the entire process efficient not only for us, but all of our family members and wedding party members, as well. She was very understanding and accommodating of sensitive family dynamics and made the family wedding portraits run smoothly and easily. She was even able to change the location of the photos at the last minute to a different area that was both beautiful and cut down walking distance in order to accommodate family members who found walking difficult. Within the first few minutes of speaking with Mel, we felt like we had known her for years. And by the time our wedding actually rolled around, Mel felt more like a guest and friend than a vendor. She even sent us previews of our wedding photos within hours of our reception ending! Amazing. We were very pleased with our entire experience with Melchy and would gladly recommend her to all those looking for a professional, kind wedding photographer. You will be in excellent hands!

I keep going through all the photos and they’re absolutely beautiful. I can’t get over it. I love the candid of them all and you truly captured the beautiful side of love. I can remember the feelings I felt that day whenever I look through them. Thank you so much Melchy.

Melchy was not just an amazing photographer, but also an amazing person to work with. We spent a lot of time looking for a photographer, and loved Melchy's natural style and how she captured beautiful candids. She set us at ease in our meetings and was collaborative when it came to shot lists and helping us figure out what we wanted. On the day of our wedding she was a calming yet enthusiastic presence. Everyone who met her commented on her professionalism and her artistry. The photos speak for themselves and we are so glad we went with Melchy for our wedding :). She even got us sneak peak photos in time to show my great grandmother, who we visited shortly after the wedding.
Melchy Hill Photography•Jun 16, 2026Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review — this truly made my heart full! It was such an honor to be your Columbus wedding photographer and to capture your day in a way that felt natural and true to you both. Knowing that the sneak peek photos made it to your great grandmother in time is something I will never forget — that moment is exactly why I do this work. If you know anyone looking for a Columbus Ohio wedding photographer who values candid storytelling and a calm, collaborative experience, I would love to serve them too. Wishing you both a lifetime of joy! 🤍
