There is something spectacular about watching one of your best friends get married. I honestly thought that it wouldn’t phase me as much, but I was a hot mess of emotion. The first part of their wedding was just with close family in our hometown (and those are all the photos you will see below!) […]

I can’t begin this blog post without first saying that I’ve known Hilary since grade school. Yes, back when bell-bottom jeans and doc martins were the cool things to wear. Back when we wore pleated skirts during the weeks and blue eye-shadow on the weekends. Ohh all the hands on my face, just cringing. Joe, […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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.

I am thankful for every single one of my couples. They alllll show me a piece of love and happiness that is unlike any pinterest quote or romance novel. Every single aspect to their relationship is unique and them to a tee. Katie and Ryan were no exception! To be in the presence of such […]

Guys, my 2018 Wedding Season could not have started off better! Stephanie and Scott tied the knot on a March weekend right back where they met: Kent State University! Both speeches during the reception touched upon one of their first dates, which happened in the air! (Scott is a pilot!) – What a perfect way […]

Wellllp, I’m sitting here unsure of where to begin with this one guys. This girl, who has been a part of my family since the years of bowl haircuts and missing front teeth, is married! MARRIED! Remember those Disney princess stories? How the love grows from the moment they meet, or lock eyes, or lose a […]

If you ever dreamed of a backyard wedding, Lauren & Pat’s special day needs to be added to your list of inspiration. Their beautiful Saturday began with one gorgeous outdoor ceremony and ended with a bang (&& I’m not joking. It had fireworks: so a literal bang!). If it wasn’t obvious, Pat is a pyrotechnics […]

How does one have so many pretty friends? Well to answer this question, you’d have to ask Molly, a bridesmaid of Alyssa. (A girl, I’ve known since she was liiiiittle) I’m uncertain of her secret, but I sure love to reap all the benefits! Case in point: Alyssa & Kevin are gorgeous together. Gorgeous in the […]
