Sausalito California + Golden Gate Bridge Engagement: Katya + Ilya
Rounding out my trip to the Bay Area was meeting up with Katya + Ilya for their engagement session! Before she moved out to the west coast, Katya was a good friend of mine here in Ohio. But now she calls California home, and that’s where she met Ilya too. So it made perfect sense…

This celebration was supposed to happen in 2020, but of course the universe had other plans. Instead, Sara + Jen eloped in their backyard last fall, and postponed their Florida celebration to 2021!

Okay, 2021! What a chaotic and beautiful year. Recovering from a very jarring, lopsided and a bit traumatic previous year, 2021 had moments of uncertainty, normalcy and lots of catching up from time lost, which resulted in some very, very busy times.

Asheville NC LGBTQ Wedding:
Kristy + Sarah
I first met these two at Sarah’s sister’s wedding last June here in Columbus. I had been given a heads up that Kristy + Sarah were recently engaged, and my client wanted plenty of photos of them. When a rainbow appeared at the reception, I threw them in front of it for what became the…

The stars aligned for Meaghan + Gianna’s summer engagement session in Portland, Maine!
