Did you know Cleveland has an entire section of the city devoted to the Italian culture? There is a delicious food scene (from desserts to dinner) and nestled in the heart is a tiny church with a brick facade that overlooks the street. If you drive a bit further down the road you’ll run into […]

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 […]

Although it was a rainy day in July, this St. Matthew Wedding will not disappoint. From a stop at Stan Hywet, to some rainy moments, to (one of my favorite!) cookie tables, and wine bottles, these two best friends had SUCH a magical day!   Traditional churches are something I truly enjoy capturing. I think […]

This family, this wedding, this ENERGY. We all need it in our lives. So pull up your pants, take a swig of water and buckle in. Today I get the honor of sharing Jenna and Dom’s Fairlawn Country Club Wedding. First and foremost, if Jenna’s dress could have it’s own movie it would be a […]

Most of the time my “destination weddings” happen close to my home. Urbana, not too far outside of Columbus, holds the quintessential small-town charm those Hallmark movies crave. Liz grew up here.

So let’s dive into this […]

So, let’s dive right into Morgan and Mike’s Club at Hillbrook Wedding. Christmas theme with a cozy as efffffff vibe. Then, add in some reds, greens, a few “it’s […]

If you ever wanted to have a wedding in Downtown Cleveland look no further than the Westin. Just to name a few reasons: there are the gorgeous ballrooms (that need little to no decor), the beautiful two story suites to get ready, plus the proximity to downtown Cleveland. You can’t beat it! Over my years […]

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 […]

Idyllic defines Toni and Creighton’s Lake Club Wedding to a tee. September weddings bring in a fall breeze which cannot be replicated any other time of year. The magical summer sun still hangs around. And by evening you feel the winds changing to crisp and cool. It reminds me of a Mary Poppins wind, as […]
