“It’s when she walks in that door, and you look at her like it’s the first time you’ve ever seen her. And your heart drops. And you are amazed. And you can’t wait to tell all your friends about this girl. You can’t wait to tell your mom about this girl! And you simply say […]

I think the photographer – couple relationship is truly key for wedding images to be a success. Aside from all the creativity and technical nitty gritties, the relationship between the person behind the camera and the people in front of it, is important. Many of my couples I know through references, or at least feel […]

THE DONUT TABLE. Sorry, but it is 1000% necessary to begin this post with those three words, bolded & in all caps. Because yup, you guessed it – the donut table was EPIC. Epic I tell you, just EPIC. Actually I’m getting ahead of myself, their entire day was epic! The first moment they called […]

I’ve got a bone to pick with you people. I understand that selfies have a bad rap. I get it – dang youths – just taking it way too far sometimes!  (Said in Schmidt’s voice) But what happens when we define a selfie as a snapshot in your life. As a memory of what you […]

As I round out my 5th year in wedding photography, I’ve come to realize that every couple I photograph has their own definition of love. Love is truly individualized, and is what we believe it is, yet it also holds a specific common standard. Even though the overall goal of the definition is the constant […]

Okay, first of all – no I didn’t just go to Scotland for Harry Potter landmarks (although that was my initial primary reason for the trip). OHH SHUSH (pics are below).

I’ve got a thing for pretty things, as any girl would, of course! But my definition of pretty has changed a ton over the years, especially as I continue down this path as a wedding photographer. Naturally it has sparkles and shiny objects you can wear on body parts, but there is also that definition […]

Okay, so I wrote an Instagram caption the other day. It wasn’t my typical gushy girl kind of caption. Instead it was long and didn’t have any exclamation points. (Rare right?! haha) But it was a topic that seems to be taboo now a days, which is to take care of yourself. Mental health is something […]

This gem of a couple is MARRIED and allll my squeals and jumps were in rare form. First of all, I just need to say this venue was a gorgeous backdrop – even if it torrentially down-poured 50% of the day. Ohhh Ohio for ya. Secondly though, Corey + Brian are that type of couple […]
