On a Wednesday in November, the day before Thanksgiving, I traveled up to Cleveland to join Olivia + Nick and their friends and family to capture their amazing wedding day! In proper Orthodox Jewish tradition and culture, it was a total blast – full energy, a truly participatory action-packed celebration! I started my day with…
Rebecca and Joseph were one of my latest 2016 wedding bookings, and we didn’t waste any time getting them on the calendar for their engagement! Initially when scheduling their session for December, we envisioned a cold snowy day, but instead we had a quite mild Sunday afternoon! And though it was an overcast day, we…
It was a chilly Sunday afternoon in mid-December when Jackie + Vanessa traveled down to Columbus for their winter engagement! We met up at the campus of Ohio State, enduring the cold for a few shots, and we encountered some nice light so it worth it – before heading inside Thompson Library to warm up…
Amy + Gina had a wonderful fall wedding celebration in downtown Columbus! This couple had been together for over 13 years, and when marriage equality became a reality this past June, they decided to finally tie the knot! It was a sunny and beautiful Sunday afternoon in mid-November when we met up at their wedding…
On a mid-December Saturday afternoon, Leah and Dave invited me to their beautiful German Village home, along with the newest addition to their family – baby Will, at just 4 days old. We took their first portraits together, just capturing moments together in their home. Congratulations to this new little family!
I had such fun visiting Jeffrey Park with Kim + Rico! I’ve shot many sessions there, but I’d never explored the park quite as much as I did with these two on that mid-December afternoon. We had originally envisioned a snowy winter session, but with the warm temperatures lasting later in the season than usual,…
Carli + Stephen’s fall wedding at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center was laid-back and beautiful! Carli has been a friend of mine for a couple of years now, and we’re both from the east side suburbs of Cleveland. So I was so happy to hear that she and Stephen were engaged, and again thrilled when…
Heather + Danielle were a last minute addition to my winter wedding calendar, and I am so happy to have them! As soon as they booked, we set a date for their engagement. They requested a downtown rooftop location, which came with lots of wind and #longhairproblems! (and lots of laughter, too!) From there, we…
2015 was another packed year full of special moments captured! It was also my busiest yet. We started the year with baby Rachel’s newborn session in early January, and ended with Katie + Shanaka’s Hocking Hills wedding the day after Christmas. In all, I shot 34 weddings (the most ever!), 2 b’nai mitzvahs, 39 engagements,…
Bethany + Ashley early-December engagement was another one that felt a bit like late fall, because of the unusually warm weather we’ve been having! So, as such, as we had a beautiful afternoon to explore the Short North neighborhood. They brought along their Cavalier pup Bruce for a few pictures, dressed in a bowtie for…
