Krista + Mike | a courthouse wedding!

Sometimes (always) the most special parts of your day include quiet, intimate moments between you and your closest family members and friends. YES. Your wedding may include 200+ people, and YES it's quite worth it for a photographer to capture lots of those candid moments that happen between any of those people...but when people just know that a big wedding is not for them, and they want to make it more about the final outcome of being MARRIED!, they're smart to realize that there are still ahhhh-maaaazing photos and memories to be captured!

Small, intimate, courthouse style, or elopement weddings are among my absolutely FAVORITE events to be a part of. I will almost always find a way for me to be a part of your event, if you'd like me to be there!

Here's Krista + Mike's wedding from last May. Enjoy!

Kayti + Josh | married at The Darby House

So the thing about this job lately is that my awesome clients-turned-friends are so fantastic about sharing their experiences with me with their to-be-married friends, I have barely shared ANNNNNYYYYTHING from 2014 OR 2015. No joke. Kayti + Josh's wedding was in August of 2014, and I'm sharing because I absolutely love the chance to shoot at this gorgeous venue. Ahem, ahem, 2017 brides at the Darby House, I'm talking to you!

Ally + Brian | Married at Athletic Club of Columbus

Ally + Brian were married on the.color-est.weekend of this fall. BUT, as you'll see, we have ZERO naturey-fall-ey-colorey-goodness photos. Say what? ..right? I was right there with ya, for a minute, then I edited the photos and quickly realized how obsessed with this wedding I am. Here's why: (and here's a thing about, as a person, and as a business, it's important you know: I'm always honest with you.) these two did it their way. We had planned to go and get some more portraits over in some awesome fall-ey places, but then...life. They decided that other things fit them better. And at first, I think I pouted for about 30 seconds because normally it's what you have to do on weddings: take portraits, but when I saw what I was getting to capture instead, I was super happy our timeline went this way.

These photos are candids, they're natural, just the type of wedding day that Ally + Brian wanted to have. As your wedding photographer, it's important to be able to follow a schedule, YOUR schedule that you've made previously..but it's also important to follow your LEAD on your wedding day, and be able to give you amazing photos when you decide what you thought you wanted just wasn't it.

Enjoy a candid look into Ally + Brian's wedding day at the Athletic Club of Columbus, with some portraits and fun around German Village!

Benvy + Nick | married at Brookside Farms

Benvy + Nick are two incredible people, individually, but also have an incredible story. They've spent the majority of their time together living (far far) apart, doing great things. It was wonderful to have been a part of the celebration that is the start of their lives together, and together. Welcome back to the U.S., Benvy! Thank you so much for trusting me with your wedding memories! Enjoy reliving their wedding day below:

Cheyenne + Josh | wedding in the woods

The best weddings are those that bring together the bride and groom's family and friends in the most meaningful way. Cheyenne + Josh's wedding on her grandfather's land did just that. Friends and family spent the year previous building, clearing land and working incredibly hard to help create a vision of Cheyenne + Josh's dream day. I betcha that vision did NOT include rain, upon rain, upon rain...but I hope (know!?) that the lasting memories for Cheyenne + Josh of this beautiful day include dancing, laughing, and enjoying themselves with their people. Enjoy what we saw that day. Have to give a giant THANK YOU to my second shooter, Savannah, for sticking out the rain and capturing some great cocktail hour shots!!

Kathy + Jason | married!

Kathy + Jason were married at St. Francis of Assisi church in Victorian Village, and then had their reception at the High Line Car House in the Brewery District of Columbus, Ohio. Their day was just...easy. (ahem, after the torrential down pour that happened as their ceremony ended. A common trend this June!) They have an easy kind of love that welcomes, and brings everyone around them together in the most natural way. Their time at the reception was filled with warm embraces, welcoming friends and family who had come to celebrate with them. 

Enjoy a few favorites from their wedding day!
