The father daughter moments melted my heart. Their shoe change delighted my soul. Caitlin & Conor’s personalities fueled my core. Which is why this Sun Valley Ohio Wedding reaffirmed my approach to weddings – and let me tell you why.

I photograph candidly because I am a firm believer you should fully enjoy your wedding day. The best gift a wedding photographer can give you (aside from amazing photographs) is the ability for you to be fully present in your memories. Instead of redirecting, positioning, or moving, the goal is to keep you in your most natural state of mind. Candid is the road to let your personality thrive.

So Caitlin and Conor? They are magnetic stars of energy. Their personalities fuel one another, and the emotions shown by family and friends invited proved this. The happiness shone out of every corner of the room. From intimate moments during the ceremony to making the bus shake from dancing in the parking lot of the reception, this day showcased it all.

Sun Valley was an incredible host for this wedding as well. It has a spacious ballroom and a porch that overlooks a pond surrounded by trees. The sun came out while we were there and it created the most magical mist of light as a backdrop. If you wanted to have your ceremony on the grounds, look no further than their beautiful gazebo overlooking the water as well.

After Caitlin and Conor changed into their high top Nikes, it opened up the evening for donuts, ice cream, and dancing galore! Keep on scrolling and just tell me that they make you want to dance too?!  They fully embraced being present on their wedding day, and it shows. The moments that unraveled were infinte, and the honor was truly mine! // xo
