About – Elizabeth Nihiser Photography: Hocking Hills Wedding Photographer

HELLO! I am an Ohio-based photographer who specializes in emotive and documentary-style, natural light images. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Ohio State University, I moved back to my native Hocking Hills where I currently live and work. I am the recipient of several honors including Ohio Associated Press Best Feature Photo, Ohio Associated Press Best Illustration, as well as a Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Award. I have also received the Hocking County Mental Health Advocate Award for my work as a photography mentor for at-risk youth in the community. When I’m not working, I go on adventures with my husband, Ryan Grundish, and our two energetic boys, Huxley and Elan. Things I really like: Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels, BBC Earth nature documentaries, atmospheric/ambient music, beauty in the mundane, sunsets, country drives, cooking, little kid jokes, hiking, road trips, Project Runway, Star Trek The Next Generation, and sharing special moments.

For family lifestyle photography, check out my work at Apples + Oak Photography.

TESTIMONIALS

"We knew without a doubt that Elizabeth would be the only person for our special day. We loved her down-to-earth style and easy-going nature and felt so relaxed while she captured our wedding. She knew exactly what we wanted and didn't make us feel awkward or too posed as we are a bit camera shy! Our time with Elizabeth felt so fun and effortless."
