Alicia + Luna | Married in Mohican

Mohican is a great option for a get away type feel (for vacation or for a wedding!) but staying in Ohio. My own family did our “fake Christmas” there this year, and it was perfect for all the ages of kids we have. Alicia + Luna threw a wonderful celebration + let me take them to all the amazingly sunlit spots for photos throughout their day.

Two of the things I’m most passionate about, when directing how a wedding day goes are: keeping your day running smoothly and letting these portraits dictate themselves.

1: if your day has any hint of chaos in it, guess what? You’ll feel it, and you don’t want that. I don’t want that either :) It’s my job to be efficiently finished with anything I require of you (because, yessss we ARE required to do some photos, despite candids > everything) with enough time for you so that you’ve had a minute to reflect + be present in the big moments. I won’t finish up the portraits as you’re rushing to make sure your lipstick is perfect for the walk down the aisle.

2. I can’t tell you how many people tell me they’re nervous or terrible in front of the camera. Well, duh! it’s awkward. It’s why creating an atmosphere of calm + candidness helps to calm your nerves. We’ll work together to schedule your day so that we aren’t doing a marathon photo session but rather; you’re leaving to be alone with your partner in times when you feel like, “PHEW! this is nice to be alone!” And guess what here? You’ll be so happy to be together and ALONE, we’ll make those magical moments you’re craving for your wedding images!

SO! that just so happens to be my recipe for a perfect wedding day. Does it strike a chord to ya? Let’s talk! smash that contact me button + send me all the info I need to know ;) (wow, that was just an experiment to type, and yah, no, that’s not me! ha!)

Lindsey + Ian | engagement!

Is it … too late to blog an engagement the day after the wedding? Let’s give it a go. We know how this ends…so let’s see a year ago, then you’ll be soo much more invested to see their wedding! Lindsey + Ian were my FIRST BOOKING of 2020, way back in March of 2019, and coincidentally, I just had my first booking of 2022 (!!) my first couples are always special to me. Enjoy seeing a glimpse into Lindsey + Ian’s engagement before I share some of their wedding that I shot yesterday! This session is a mix of film + digital, and man do I miss shooting film. With the pandemic, I’ve slowed way down + focused on digital, because, well, film is expensive. But as I start to regain my ground of where my business will be going forward, I’m beginning to feel that it might be ok to be a little excessive in my film spending and shoot some rolls here and there! stay tuned!
