My last wedding of 2018, what a perfect way to end the year! This wedding also happened to be my 200th career wedding! Alyssa + Tom’s downtown Columbus wedding centered around their venue, the Westin Columbus Downtown hotel, where I began my day with the girls getting ready in their suite that first Saturday in…
Tala + Raffi tied the knot outside the country, but returned to Tala’s hometown for a local celebration with their Ohio family and friends. I joined them on a Sunday evening in late December for a couple of hours to document their Persian ceremony and a bit of their dinner party reception at Copious Restaurant…
This engagement session was pretty much a dream for me all-around! Snowy winter portraits plus bubble tea – these are essentially two of my favorite things! For the first portion of our session, Alita and Joel took me to a mountain-top location in Lancaster, Ohio I never knew existed before: Rising Park. It was a…
I couldn’t have asked for a more fantastic couple for this Columbus Zoo wedding – they completely embraced the day exactly as it came! Many couples obsess over the details and the weather forecast, but Amanda and Jon accepted the inevitable misty day, and went forward with an outdoor ceremony regardless! Getting ready separately –…
In the month of December, I had the opportunity to reconnect with 3 of my past wedding clients, as they all welcomed their first babies and invited me to capture their first portraits! It had been a few years since I’d photographed Marissa + Alex’s August 2015 wedding in downtown Columbus, and I didn’t have to go…
Two weeks ago today, I hosted my first ever round of snowy micro sessions on a VERY snowy Saturday afternoon at my home! I saw the forecast earlier in the week and decided to go for it, and I’m so glad I did, and even more glad that so many folks took me up on…
Mid-October is one of my favorite wedding weekends of the whole year! Jaclyn and Daniel made it perfect with their simple and laid-back day at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center in downtown Columbus. The temps were chilly, and the precipitation outlook was all over the place, but I don’t think they would have changed a thing.…
When I got an email from Jenna and Ashley last summer letting me know they were expecting, I was so thrilled for them! Their July 2017 wedding is still one of my all-time favorites! I loved meeting 10-day-old baby Elliott in December at their home in Blacklick, and photographing her first portraits. Their cat joined…
This Lakes Golf and Country Club wedding was a perfect and sweet fall day in Westerville! Emily + JR had a simple and enjoyable mid-October wedding day planned, with everything taking place at the venue, and had perfect fall weather and great light to compliment. We staged their first look on one of the venue’s…
This surprise proposal was so sweet – literally! I’ve known Brooke for years now, since we first connected as staff on a local (now defunct) LGBTQ magazine about 6 years ago. I was so thrilled when she shared her plans to propose to Duck, and asked me to photograph the moment! She planned to propose…
