My final 2018 wedding! Here we go! BOY is it GOOSEPIMPLES worthy!!! I must preface this by saying: whenever a friend of my sister gets married, I immediately feel a pang in my chest. It reminds me: 1. How I am getting more emotional as I age haha and 2. How old I am. I […]

Winter weddings warm my heart. Super cheesy, I know but come on – who doesn’t like simple greens and twinkle lights? If you don’t then – psh posh bgosh we need to chat! Caitlin & Sean spent their special day in the Historic Onesto Event Center in the heart of Canton, Ohio. The hotel alone […]

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! […]
