My last wedding of 2017 was amazing! Oh, I love these two!
Susan and Michael were married at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, our home church! Oh my goodness, we had the most wonderful snowfall and I’m so glad Susan and Michael and their bridal party agreed to jump out for some quick photos in the snow.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Last summer, I received a call from a bride inquiring about photography for her wedding she was planning for the fall. She had the most adorable accent and was so sweet! I only had one weekend off and I was planning on going to the Circleville Pumpkin show with my best friend – I haven’t been in forever! As Mo kept telling me about her plans, I knew that I really wanted to be her wedding photographer. Mo continued to tell me that the wedding had been pushed up because her father had ALS and she wanted him there to take her down the aisle, of course. The pumpkin show could absolutely wait until next year. I had to meet these incredible people.
Get this! Mo and Armando met while training horses for cutting. Armando recently decided to turn pro and compete as an Open Trainer after winning the NCHA Non Pro Triple Crown and 2016 Non Pro Horse of the Year on a horse named Watch Me Whip! How cool is that?!

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Do you guys remember Rachael and Sam? I blogged their summer engagement session this past winter, and today I am so excited to share the photos from their incredible fall wedding at The Barn at Backwoods in Thornville, Ohio! When Rachael told me they were getting married here, y'all know my country heart was so happy!
First, Rachael is one of my favorites ever. She seriously is so sweet and someone I just love to be around. Sam is just as awesome. You guys, these two high school sweethearts are just perfect together. See those blue earrings? Sam's mom let her boys pick out something to give their future wives when they were little kids. Rachael wore them so beautifully. They were both stunning.

Wedding Wednesday is here again and I've got Susie and Alex's wedding on the blog today! These two are so much fun and shooting their wedding was a blast! I had Alaina from Alaina Parker Photography along as my second shooter for their day and she was so fantastic to work with!
Susie and Alex were the first couple to be married at their church (H20 Church) right here in Columbus. They had a beautiful ceremony. Susie was classically stunning in her wedding gown. We headed off to Goodale Park afterwards for portraits and even stopped at the very park bench that Alex proposed to Susie at!
These two radiated happiness all day long and they ended their perfect day (despite some rain!) at Dock 580 and danced the night away with their family and friends. Everyone was having so much fun and the party was still going strong when Alaina and I headed out!

Wedding Wednesday is here again and today I am sharing Britney and Jeremiah's wedding with you guys! This was my first wedding of September last year and it is definitely a favorite. I love how Britney's style really came together. Less is more really is so true! This gorgeous bride chose to keep it simple with greenery and white and every detail was absolutely beautiful.
When I pulled up to Sugar Valley Golf Club, it had rained nearly my entire drive to Bellbrook. Oh, it was so beautiful though! Rainy days make for some really amazing portraits, so don't worry a bit if it rains on your big day! When I walked in to see the bride and groom, they were both so excited for this day to be here.
They chose to exchange letters before the ceremony and Jeremiah's reaction when he saw Britney coming down the path to meet him for their ceremony was priceless! Britney you made such a beautiful bride! These guys were up for anything for their portraits and the sweet folks at Sugar Valley allowed us to run around the golf course in the rain!

Oh my goodness. I have so many wonderful things to say about this incredible couple. My favorite thing about them is that Deanna and Sean have hearts on fire for Jesus, and for each other! They are so sweet, so generous, just absolutely amazing people that I am so happy to now call my friends and not just my clients! I am so honored they chose me to photograph their wedding day.
Last year, Deanna and Sean were anxiously awaiting their wedding day. Sean is originally from Alaska and Deanna is from here in Ohio, but they met in college down in Florida! I cannot tell you how excited I was for this day to finally arrive for them!
Instead of doing a first look, Deanna and Sean decided to exchange letters before their ceremony, to hold hands, but not see each other. The emotions of this moment said everything that was written in those letters. The intense love these two have was incredible to witness.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! It's February, how did that happen?? Amanda and Matt’s outdoor summer wedding was so much fun! We started the day in downtown Columbus at The Renaissance hotel where everyone was getting ready. It is such a beautiful hotel! Now, I am a shorty, and I knew Amanda and Matt were tall, but I didn’t realize I was going to be walking into a room basically full of super models… Amanda and her maids were so gorgeous!
After her mom and sisters helped Amanda into her dress, we headed over to The Pinnacle in Grove City for the ceremony. I met Amanda and Matt’s super adorable dog Bailey during their engagement photos and y’all know how much I love the furchildren! Amanda and Matt are as obsessed with their furchild as I am with mine, so they made her a flower girl!!

I’m sharing another beautiful spring wedding today! I’m getting ya hyped for spring, okay? Love and Lavender actually featured Emily and Chris’ wedding on their blog last year! Check it out here.
Do you remember these two?? I shot their engagement session in the fall of 2016 in my hometown! Remember that tulle skirt of Emily’s?? If you don’t, click here to see how pretty it all was!
As soon as I arrived at Emily’s room at the DoubleTree Downtown, I knew they day would be full of nothing but joy. She was radiant. Everyone was so sweet, so kind. As I was prepping to shoot Emily’s pretty details (swooning over all the soft lavender), her mom introduced herself to me and said, “After reading your blog, I knew Emily had chosen the right photographer. You clearly have a passion for this. I saw it in every person you photographed.” Holy moly, Mama Bright! I’ll never forget that moment. It meant so much to have someone who had never met me before see this simply be reading my words and looking through the portraits I take. My heart was so full and it was the greatest reminder of why I love photography so much. Thank you for that.

Helloooo! I haven't blogged a wedding in FOREVER. I'm so excited to share one with you today from last spring! Jasmine and Steven met back in high school while working at a grocery store. They dated for a few years, but when Steven joined the military, life took them in separate directions. It was certainly fate that brought these two back together again down the road. Steven's eyes actually sparkle when he looks at Jasmine. They are deeply, madly in love with each other.
Jasmine and Steven were married at Columbia Hills Golf Club in Columbia Station, Ohio. Jasmine was stunning. Right when Steven saw her walking down the aisle in her WattersWToo gown, he lost it... Jasmine and Steven exchanged their own hand-written vows and had everyone attending in tears by the end of their beautiful ceremony as well. Although it rained, we were able to find breaks in the sky to venture out on the golf course for portraits. Jasmine's style is earthy and natural, and I loved all of the greens she used throughout her day, from her table displays to the succulents she and Steven gave away as guest favors.
