To me, hotel weddings are the equivalent to a blank canvas. You can take any ballroom and splash all the fun to make it your own. Lexi and Nick’s Hilton Fairlawn Wedding did just that. They took this big empty space and filled it full of gold, white and purple accents. Their florals had hints […]

If I were to choose any couple to end my 2021, it would be Edward & David! Hands down. These two and their Glidden House Wedding in Cleveland, Ohio was a perfect blend of personality. Which if I may be so bold: is exactly what every wedding needs! So, what was their wedding personality? Is […]

A Fairlawn Country Club Wedding makes my heart pound with excitement. I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up a few streets away, or if it’s because the outside architecture is a photographer’s dream! First, any venue that has it all right there is worth visiting when it comes to planning a wedding. They […]

The Empire Bluffs in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park are a hidden treasure. If you are in Michigan, please do yourself a favor and hike at least one portion of this park! The first time I had the honor was in 2016 to capture this surprise proposal! To my friends who’ve been with me through […]

2019 holds so many wonderful memories! I’m sooooo incredibly grateful I was able to end such a positive wedding season on a such a magical note! And yes, I’m talking about Kelly and David! These two human beings are LOVE GOALS! From knowing each other since they were weeeee youngins, to dating and eventually becoming […]

Annie & Kyle! Where do I even begin!? First of all, I LOVE THEM. For so many reasons, but the highest would be for the way that they emulate everything I hope my couples get to experience. They are both organized and laid back, excited and nervous.  They prioritize the ultimate goal of love and […]

If you want to see a DIY, absolutely hot dang bomb type of wedding, this is it. Mackenzie and Kevin and their amazing magical wedding helpers pulled off a day that encapsulated their entire love story. As many of my couples do, they tinkered their reception venue (Happy Days Lodge) with bits of themselves, inviting […]

I don’t normally blog engagement sessions, but this one stole my heart! We woke up at the crack of dawn to see the sunrise over Lake Michigan! Which if you have not done on a trip to Chicago – you MUST do. I mean, sunrises in general, are just incredibly invigorating. AND THEN you put […]

Snow? Freeeezing? Coldness? Ice? ICK! I am guilty of alllll of these thoughts. BUT if there is one thing the beautiful winter magic gives us that a summer day cannot, it is a chance for love to shine. These backdrops though, are to die for. Especially in NE Ohio. Our park systems and National Park showcase […]

Do you remember Emily & David? Because you should. I traveled to NYC to capture their engagement last year! They need no introduction, so I’ll just say: Emily & David have a mixture of NYC cool and that genuine Ohio kindhearted personality. The moment we began chatting, I knew they would kick my candid butt! […]
