Meet Stephen & Cianna.
A life built together.

We’re Stephen and Cianna Holmes, the husband-and-wife team behind MrHolmes Media. We create wedding photography and films for couples in Columbus, Ohio, and across Central Ohio—with a personal approach shaped by our faith and life together.

We met at church.
We ended up in a river.

We met at our church’s young adults group in late 2024—on Stephen’s first visit. By Sunday, we were talking after church about our lives and what we loved. As we walked beside the Scioto River, a game of “What are the odds?” somehow ended with both of us in the river. More hikes and deeper conversations followed.

A Niagara Falls proposal.
Married two weeks later.

Stephen initially said we weren’t going to be a thing (because he wasn't ready yet). God had another plan. When Stephen was ready, he knew Cianna was the woman he wanted to build a life with. He proposed at Niagara Falls in September 2025. Two weeks later, we were married in front of Judge Green at Inniswood Metro Gardens.

AUTHENTICITY

We want you to feel like yourselves.

PURPOSE

Our faith shapes how we serve.

ARTISTRY

Real emotion guides what we create.

OUR FAITH

Our lives are built on Jesus.

Our lives are built on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe He died on the cross and rose again, paying the price for our sin. He has saved us and continues to sanctify us every day.

For us, faith is a relationship, not a religion. Everything we have comes from Him, and everything we do is for Him. Our obedience flows from His love for us—and that shapes how we care for people.

HOW WE FOUND OUR CRAFT

Two different beginnings.
One shared purpose.

Stephen: LEGO movies
to wedding films.

Stephen started making movies with LEGO minifigures and his brothers, then learned composition through making YouTube videos. Over time, he found his passion in films that carry real emotion—stories that mean something to the people in them.

Cianna: always
capturing people.

Cianna was always borrowing phones to capture funny faces and the way people interacted. After Stephen recruited her as his second shooter, that love grew into a craft. Today, she’s especially drawn to portraits, couples, engagements, and wedding photography.

Room to be yourselves.

Gentle direction when you need it. Space to enjoy each other. Photographs and films that bring you back to how it felt to be together.
