Phoebe is a vocal music education major, and part of her degree requirement for graduation is that she must perform a senior recital. I remember that life alllllll too well (since that was me literally eighteen months ago), so when she reached out and asked me to take her pictures for her senior recital, I thought I knew exactly what she had in mind. Most senior recital pictures feature someone in a long flow dress standing in the middle of a field of tall grass somewhere, but not Phoebe. She said she wanted something different, unique, and edgy. So we set out to make that vision come to life.

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.

Michaela and Michael said their vows on one of the prettiest January days I have ever seen. The sun was shining over the town of Saint Joseph, which sits right on the shore of Lake Michigan, the perfect backdrop for their wedding day. One of the most touching details of the day was that Michaela chose to wear her mother’s wedding gown (cue ALLLLLL the tears). Her grandfather officiated and their best friends led in worship during the ceremony, which was followed by a reception with all their family and friends. After that, they snuck away to the harbor for a few moments together as brand new husband and wife, before returning for dinner with a group of their nearest and dearest.
