Happy FRIYAY! We made it through this hot hot hot week in Columbus. I am shooting a wedding today, but first I have to share Courtney and Andy's summer Beauty and the Beast inspired engagement session! Courtney is obsessed with all things Disney, which makes me love her even more, because ME TOO. This shoot was so much at the Park of Roses! See if you can spot all the special Beauty and Best touches!

Happy Independence Day! It's Wedding Wednesday as well and I am so happy to be sharing Lainey & Matias' wedding! Going into this day, I already knew it would be beyond perfect because Lainey & Matias are two of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. I was so excited to see their wedding day planning all come together on their big day! Lainey loved purple and I love how she incorporated this so beautifully into her wedding day.

Wedding Wednesday! Today I am sharing Hannah and Matt’s engagement session with you! Oh my goodness, this world can be so crazy small sometimes. I had known of Hannah from the ice rink- she went to Ohio State and skated there, where I had directed some shows! We were facebook friends but had never really met. Here’s the crazy part: Remember Lainey & Matias? I shot their wedding a couple of weeks ago and they will be on the blog next week! Hannah is Matias’ cousin and contacted me after seeing their engagement photos!
I was finally able to formally meet Hannah and Matt at Lainey and Matias’ wedding. Hannah is going to law school out of state right now and Matt is also out of the state working. These two both attended Ohio State for their undergrad and that’s where it all began!

Wedding Wednesday is here again and this time I am sharing Kevin & Sheila's engagement session! We had planned to do these photos downtown one evening, but it rained, so we rescheduled to a Sunday, and my sweet friends were willing to drive out to Pickerington for their photos! I am SO glad they did! We had the most beautiful evening with the most incredible light. Kevin was so totally not about doing the engagement photos, which makes me laugh so much looking at him smiling so big at his gorgeous finance!
Kevin & Sheila began working on the same exact day at The Ohio House of Representatives four years ago. Isn't that crazy?? They ended up spending a lot of time together through their work and enjoyed each others friendship, but deep down they both knew there was more. Last year, they decided to give the dating thing a shot. I loved seeing Sheila so happy. The boy I knew as the nice guy with the cool socks was turning out to be the one my sweet friend had been waiting for. Early this spring, Kevin took Sheila back to the place where it all began. He took her on a tour of the Statehouse cupola (which is super duper cool if you love history). He proposed up there and they signed their names on the wall to mark the spot where they were engaged!

Happy Wedding Wednesday! My second wedding of 2018 was so so so beautiful and I loved every moment from Charissa and Dan's big day! I drove out to Centerville to Benham's Grove, a gorgeous 19th century farm house to photograph their wedding day. Y'all know me and I was in H E A V E N in this house. This was my first time shooting here, and so it was so much fun to explore the grounds!
I absolutely adored the mermaid dress, teal colors, and all the pineapples! Every detail was perfect and we felt the southern charm! It felt like a little bit of Florida had come to Ohio, and it had- Charissa is from Florida! It has been so hot and rainy here lately, but we were blessed with a wonderful day!

Good morning! Today I am sharing Molly & Chris' engagement session. These two are getting married in less than two months! I am so excited to be headed back to The Pinnacle in Grove City for their big day!
Molly & Chris met at a concert. Molly's friend had told her about one of the guys that would be at the concert: Chris. I asked if this was like a blind date for them, but Chris said he didn't know that Molly would be there. No matter, because obviously these two hit it off and were were meant to be!
Jenn & Kyle | Olde Canal Winchester Engagement Session | Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer →
Happy Friday! Jenn & Kyle are on the blog today! These two were so much fun to photograph.
We almost canceled due to a very rainy week, but I’m so glad they were willing to wait it out because we ended up having such a good night once the skies cleared!
I seriously laughed so much during this session… maybe it’s because Jenn and I are from the same town and went to the same high school and both my husband and Kyle are from Northeast Ohio… everything is so relatable. I love how they make each other laugh.

Good morning! I'm so excited to share Tanijah's senior portraits on the blog today. I had so much fun photographing this gorgeous and intelligent young lady.
I've said it before, but seniors are my favorite to photograph. I love learning about their dreams and their goals on how to achieve them. Photographing Tanijah was no different, and was even more special.
At first Tanijah seemed a little shy, but I quickly learned she has an incredible personality! I loved learning about her plans for the future. She told me she plans on attending Bowling Green in the fall and studying social work. When I asked her if anyone had inspired her, she smiled and said, "myself." And I instantly loved her.

Finally Friday! Last weekend, Ohio University graduated the Class of 2018! I headed down to Athens to meet one of these graduates, Madison! Instead of worrying about getting photos exactly where she wanted to take them on the day of graduation with thousands of other graduates and their family and friends, Madison had me come down the week of graduation for a fun shoot with her fiancé, parents, and fellow graduating gal pals.
Once I navigated OU’s impossible parking situation hahaha – Guys, I suck at figuring out parking on college campuses. Makes me feel extra old - I was so excited to see Madison and her family and friends looks so fabulous and ready for photos!
I only do one college senior session a year, and I really feel like these should become more of a thing! I actually wish I had done them! I met my very best friend in college (we are inseparable!) and those four years were so much fun. Why not commemorate that time with a fun photo shoot on campus??

Holy mackerel! It's MAY! How did we get to May 2018?? My 2018 seniors are graduating so soon, my busy season has officially begun. I am so excited, y'all!
Alright, guys. I just want to make this clear: I always want to be that photographer you go to when you want photos of your pups! I was SO EXCITED when Laura reached out for portraits, and the main reasoning behind these photos was to celebrate her and Steve's sweet beagle puppy Leila's first birthday!
