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! Their Columbus Park of Roses queer wedding was literally everything. Their smiles and bright colors were refreshing and inspiring. After each bride got into their dress,…
Three years ago I photographed Sara + Jared’s August 2016 wedding, and earlier this summer I had the opportunity to photograph their first portraits together with baby Caroline! I joined them at their Upper Arlington home on a Tuesday morning in mid-June. It was a beautiful summer day, so after photographing indoors around their home,…
Last month I had the opportunity to attend a 4 day retreat in the Catskill mountains of upstate New York, called the Feminist Photo Vaycay! Part work and part play, this trip is designed to be a mid-season refresh with like-minded wedding photographers. In a world where so much of our work is done solo,…
I first met Devra and Josh at Samantha and Barry’s August 2017 wedding. We hit it off right away and stayed in touch ever since. Before too long, Devra and 2 of her sisters were all engaged, but her date was the latest. So we saw each other again at Jannah’s wedding, and at Tali’s…
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…
It was the Friday of Pride weekend, the Short North neighborhood of Columbus was bursting with rainbows everywhere, and Bethany + Amanda were getting married! They began their day getting ready at the Joseph Hotel in the heart of the Short North. The lobby was already well decorated for Pride! I staged their first look…
I can’t begin to express what a pleasure it’s been working with Kathleen + Brad, from their downtown rooftop engagement last fall to their summer wedding last month! But first, they had me join to capture their beautiful rehearsal dinner at a friend’s home in East Columbus. The next day, I joined them for their…
I just loved hanging out with Marsha and James at their summer engagement earlier this month! We met up on a Monday evening in early July at Slate Run Metro Park in Canal Winchester just outside Columbus. We had such gorgeous light that night! Marsha and James had some family visiting, so they extended their…
Last month I traveled up to the Cleveland area for Leora + Nate’s big day! Their wedding at Bertram Inn in Aurora, OH was an energy-filled Orthodox Jewish celebration full of love and non-stop fun. The couple opted for a first look so we could get all their pictures complete before their events began, but…
