Genuine, intentional photography for couples who value making memories together, and wish to save those moments as artwork forever.

CINCINNATI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

but my heart, and my camera, follow love all over the world
Abbie

I'll never forget the way her eyes lit up and how he smiled…

gently squeezing her hand as they sat across from me at their consultation when I said, "I understand you two are planning to have the best day of your lives, and I intend to capture it as such. From the little moments between the big ones, the hugs and laughs, the tiny details and the giant crowd of your favorite people, I got you."

I could visibly see the relief and excitement wash over them, knowing they found someone who genuinely cares. Someone they could trust to turn the memories of them having the time of their lives into artwork they'll cherish forever.

That's the part I love most about what I do, being a trusted friend and artist for my couples. So if you're looking for a Cincinnati Wedding Photographer and want to see more of the OKOTA experience and what it’s like to work together, click the link below!

PHOTOGRAPHY

For the couple who values capturing moments to cherish forever.
Abbie

Hi there!

I’m

 

Owner and lead of OKOTA photography here!

I strive to be so much more than your wedding photographer, but a friend, a trustworthy storyteller, the artist for your memories, and a resource for making the biggest day of your life PERFECT.

I do love photography, but other roles I’m passionate about… 

Wife keeping Kris on his toes with new “great ideas” daily

Harper’s Mom mother of the brides… I get it now

Dog Mom the best tiny cuddlers

Crafter anything glittered, painted, sculpted, or tied in a ribbon, I’m for sure making

Online Shopper I once met a table of UPS drivers at a wedding I worked, and they recognized me by my address!

FEATURED CINCINNATI WEDDING GALLERIES

In the heart of Mount Adams, this goregous venue is minutes from OKOTA’s studio in Covington, KY. I’ve worked here SO many times, and know it like the back of my hand!

The grandeur of this hotel is remarkable. My work SHINES in this ballroom every single time. And I know every nook of its surrounding downtown area for the best photos!

The Cincinnati Art Museum is a dream for timeless, fine art wedding photography. With grand architecture, elegant galleries, and elevated courtyard, I LOVE this wonderful artistic backdrop for wedding photos.
