Welcome to the blog

Ever since the first time I visited Katie at her gorgeous cut flower farm in Mount Vernon, Ohio I knew I had to to do a session there! Old Slate Farm is one of my all time favorite wedding florists and it has been a dream of mine to collaborate with them for a long time. They offer full service floral designs for weddings using flowers grown mostly on their property, with flowers from other local farms and sustainable sources as well. I not only love what Old Slate Farm represents with their focus on sustainability and knowledge of all things botany, but also am always floored by Katie’s garden-style, romantic designs!

This session was pure magic! Joshua and Mark are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever had the privilege of working with and witnessing their love for each other was such a joy. When they first reached out to me about photographing their Columbus wedding we instantly clicked and I was so excited for their big day! Sadly, COVID-19 has significantly impacted their plans of getting married due to the closure of their venue. They were absolutely devastated when they received the email explaining that they could no longer get married at Juniper and my heart broke for them. Up until that moment everything had seemed to be very serendipitous with their planning— everything had fallen into place perfectly to make their dream wedding plans come true. They were stopped in their tracks without a lot of information to move forward with.

I’m not going to lie, I was entirely too excited about photographing this engagement session! I have never had the privilege to photograph a gay couple before now, so I couldn’t wait to work with Cliff and Christian. Let me just tell you, they were a DREAM in front of the camera and truly one of the sweetest couples. Their love for one another is undeniable and their zest for life is unparalleled.
