Christina and Josh got married this past fall at Little Book Meadows in Columbus, OH. I love shooting at this venue (check out Hannah + Michael’s wedding I photographed there almost a year ago!) and it provides a whimsical, country-feeling backdrop for lighthearted wedding days.

Modern Columbus Ohio Ariel Foundation Park Wedding

weddings

Brooke and Seth got married at Ariel Foundation Park’s Schnormeier Event Center on the most gorgeous late summer day, and let me tell you, it was magical. Everything about their day was perfect – from the gorgeously coordinated dresses, to their tear-filled prayer together before walking down the aisle, to their spontaneous exit lit by the phone flashlights of their closest friends. Every part of their wedding was true to them: the best man brought a picture of young Seth to show-and-tell during his speech, Brooke made sure all her wedding guests wished her sister happy birthday on her wedding day, and together they danced the night away with their nearest and dearest.

Chianti and Navy Columbus Wedding at Little Brook Meadows

weddings

I think this might actually be the longestttt wedding blog post I’ve ever written (so grab a snack and get ready for ALL the wedding prettiness) but it’s truly just because Hannah and Mike’s stunning wedding day at Little Brook Meadows in Lancaster, Ohio was just so full of precious moments that I couldn’t help but share with you! The whole week leading up to their wedding the forecast showed rain, so Hannah and I were frantically texting about rain plans and praying for good weather, and when their big day arrived it was sunny and beautiful. This elegant venue outside of Columbus provided the perfect backdrop for these two to say “I do” in front of all of their family and friends.

Ohio State Football Stadium Surprise Proposal

portraits

Honestly, I don’t think there is anyone better to tell you about Jill and Cory’s love story than Cory himself. He found me through Instagram and when he inquired with me about shooting his surprise proposal at Ohio Stadium (home of the Buckeyes!), he had the sweetest words to say about their relationship, and the significance that Ohio State University holds to both of them.

Downtown Columbus Short North District Engagement

engagements

I met Hannah and Mike through another one of my precious 2019 couples, Christina and Josh. When I first met these two, I knew we were going to be fast friends. We spent their engagement session in downtown Columbus in the Short North district, laughing and dodging the crowds of people as they danced and hugged in the middle of the bustling city. They were so sweet and loving towards each other, and they were willing to adventure and try new things – they even stood in the middle of moving traffic so I could snap a long exposure shot, freezing them in time.

Adventurous Dallas Texas 2019 Senior Portrait Sunrise Session

portraits

I’ve known Kayleigh for what honestly seems like forever. I met Kayleigh when she was probably 8 years old, and gosh, she’s honestly become family to me. I always call her my sister, and her family is my “second family.” Her family were the first ones to let me take their portraits back when I firstttt got my camera in high school (bless their hearts – they were SO kind to me and loved their pictures even though I made them all wear purple and stand barefoot in a park…what on earth was I thinking haha??).

Ohio Indian Mounds Waterfall Winter Surprise Proposal

portraits

Anna was one of the first friends I ever made my freshman year of college, so when her boyfriend, Stephen, asked me to shoot his proposal I couldn’t have been more honored. We went and scoped out the location a few days in advance and planned out the whole thing. Indian Mounds Reserve made the perfect backdrop for his surprise proposal and the weather that day was below freezing, so the waterfall was covered in beautiful icicles as the ground showcased a fresh layer of bright white snow.

The Bridesmaid-Photographer: How to Shoot a Wedding…And Be In It

business

Once upon a time, one of my dearest friends in the whole world asked me to be in her wedding. Saying yes to being a bridesmaid in Megan and Jay’s Michigan winter wedding was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. Then, Megan asked me another question – if I would also do double duty as her wedding photographer. My initial gut reaction was to excitedly say yes, but then my logistical side started panicking. Was it even remotely possible to be a photographer AND a bridesmaid??
