Cody was worried Cortnie would be hard to surprise, but on a Sunday evening in mid-August, he pulled it off! After a nice dinner to celebrate her upcoming graduation, they went for a walk along the Scioto Mile at dusk, where he dropped to one knee with a ring, and then I sprung out with…
Ellen and Alec have been such a fun couple to work with since we first connected, and then their fall engagement last year! Their Columbus Zoo wedding at the Heart of Africa Event Center was an absolutely perfect day. We had a gorgeous summer day, with plenty of sunshine and all the zoo animals! We…
Baby Franklin is one chill dude. He didn’t give me any smiles at our session last month at Jeffrey Mansion, but do I care? I want to capture kiddos as they are. So give me all the serious looks and all the morning light, too!
I may not be much of a morning person, but okay, give me alll the queer rainbow-themed rose garden morning brunch weddings, please and thank you, Colleen + Josie!

45 years ago, Jan + Bruce eloped in a rose garden in the city where they lived. This year they celebrated their milestone anniversary with a portrait session at our local rose garden, the Park of Roses. We met up on a Friday morning in early July, soaking up that lovely morning light, and dodging…
Brianna + Christy eloped last week! But a month before that, we met up in downtown Columbus for some engagement pictures. We walked around the Scioto Mile as the sun set, and I learned more about their story and their plans to elope the following month. They were keeping their plans pretty secretive, so it…
