Grange Audubon Wedding-Steve & Danielle

What a treat to photograph Danielle and Steve’s wedding! So full of relaxed celebration of these beautiful people on their special day. Everyone had a great time! The music was a step above… from the strings playing at the ceremony to the sweet sounds of Honey and Blue during cocktail hour/reception.

Thank you, Steve and Danielle, for having me along for your wonderful day!! Wishing you many years of love and adventures!

Tree House Session in Hocking Hills

When asked to do a shoot in Hocking Hills, I am always excited to say YES! This one happened to be at a treehouse and on the first day of snow…so Double YES YES 🙂

Erica and Connor let loose and just had fun. That’s exactly my favorite way to photograph people. If I can find the light/location, give guidance only when needed, then just let people be who they are, I figure that’s what being a photographer means to me.

Thank you, Erica and Connor, for sharing a little bit of your special time in the Hills with me 🙂

Wedding-Jadyn & Tyler

After 24 years of being a wedding photographer, I can honestly say that one of the greatest gifts is when a couple lets me freely express myself. No pinterest boards to copy or an exact list of “candid” photos to take. Just watch the day unfold and to be given the creative freedom to play. For me, that’s a perfect day…just like Jadyn and Tyler gave me…a perfect day! We hiked to Tall Pines for a first look, they wanted me to shoot a couple rolls of film, and then basically the rest of the day was freedom to experience this special time. I appreciated that so much! Thank you, Jadyn & Tyler…and I hope your wandering adventures continue to flow abundantly!

Wedding-Kaylor & Matthew

Kaylor and Matthew got married at TCB Farm, a place close their heart. So many friends and family traveled near and far to celebrate, along with their adorable dog, Dreis 🙂 Tons of hugs and words of love were shared. The wind blew through the willows. The sun shined gloriously. And to top it off, there was a taco AND an ice cream truck!

Congrats to these beautiful humans (and their fur baby ;)!! It was an honor to share your day!

Maternity Sessions

I wanted to share a couple recent maternity sessions. One done at a family homestead and the other at a Columbus park. Both were so much fun! Finding what’s best for you and makes you most comfortable is very important. It’s such a beautiful chapter in your life…why not document it? 🙂

Helpful info to make the most of your maternity session

You should aim to do your maternity session 4-8 weeks before your due date. This gives you a nice time frame for you to be showing and yet still feel comfortable to move around. I also suggest finding a flattering dress that works with your style. For some women that may be a long flowy dress, for others a simple sundress may feel better for them. If you feel your best, that will show in the pictures.

Wedding-Ali & Paul

Ali and Paul were married at North Bank Pavilion with a stop at the Statehouse for photos…it was a wonderfully perfect day! And I don’t often use the word obsessed but let’s just say I was in love with her floral wedding dress. Her makeup by Le Reve matched perfectly.

We loved watching them enjoy the day with their close friends and family, some of whom we had been a part of their wedding also. Paul and Ali got a beautiful sunset to end the day. We are so thankful to have shared their joy with them!

Wedding-Dorian & Kyle

Dorian and Kyle got married at the Athletic Club of Columbus. We escaped the heat as much as possible but wow…it was a warm day. You would have never known because no one complained and we had a great time! It means a lot to a wedding photographer when a group of people work together to make a couple’s day seamless.

Thankful for our day together and wishing them tons of fantastic adventures!!

Irongate Equestrian Center Wedding-Devin & Zach

Devin and Zach….the couple that makes everyone feel like family, including us 🙂

From each wedding I try to remember some life lessons. 10-14-23 reminded me of these things:

1. Don’t let a few rain clouds darken your day.

2. Hold on tightly to the ones that love and support you.

3. Going with the flow will make any day a winner.

It was a wonderful way to celebrate our last big wedding of 2023!

Wishing you many beautiful years together, Devin & Zach!!

Thank you.

Wedding-Diana & Jeremiah

Little back story….Jeremiah and Diana were coming from Cleveland for a quick visit to Hocking Hills. Among those plans was a surprise proposal from Jeremiah. Max and I were hired to secretly photograph the event and the rest is history. From the moment we met them I wished they would have us photograph the wedding, as well. You know that feeling when you can just see right away how genuinely kind someone is? Diana and Jeremiah are those people. We were beyond excited that they contacted us again for their wedding at Basil Place. This is an absolute beautiful venue in Chardon, Ohio.

From the moment we arrived, we were happily greeted and offered food….that’s great start to any day 😉 The guys were out fishing on the deck and the ladies were chilling in their own private space. Everything was laid back and that truly set the tone for the entire day. Just fun and family and friends!

We are so thankful to Jeremiah & Diana and their wonderfully sweet family for having us along! Wishing these 2 many many happy years of hiking and adventures!!

Wedding-Elisa & Ty

Elisa and Ty decided to have a small wedding ceremony in their local town with a larger gathering at their home afterwards. I have to say, it was so relaxed and you could just see how much fun they had! High school friends, family, kids…everyone welcome. I am so thankful I was their to witness it and photograph some memories for them.

Congrats Elisa & Ty!! Wishing you many many years of happiness, gardening, and cornhole 🙂
