Ashley and Jonathan’s micro wedding was always planned to be a smaller affair! When they first contacted me earlier this year, they were hoping for a small celebration in April. Of course, COVID ended up making that impossible, but once shutdown was lifted, they shifted their plans to June, and landed at the Orchard House…
Martha + James had a typical wedding & reception planned at BrewDog Brewery, right down the street from them in Canal Winchester. But when covid-19 hit, their plans went out the window.

I loved coming down to Cincinnati for their spring engagement last year, and it was a delight returning to capture…
I couldn’t think a better way to kick off the 2020 season of weddings, than with Kelley Jo + Suresh’s winter celebration!
