Today I’m poppin’ the bubbly in celebration of this dream collaboration being featured on the front page of Styled Me Pretty!! There was so much heart and intention poured into every detail of this styled shoot at The Club at Corazón and I am just so grateful to have photographed it. Not only was it flawlessly designed by Jeannene Lillie Events with gorgeous flowers from Prema Designs, a stunning La Jeune Mariee dress and exquisite stationery from Lupine Letters, but the story behind it takes the cake (Oh, and don’t miss the actual cake by Lavender and Honey).
Read MoreOhio was showing off for Sara and Ryan’s wedding day! It was one of those perfect days, as the seasons transition between summer and fall; where the sun is warm, but there is a refreshing crispness in the air as the leaves are just starting to turn. You couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque afternoon for an outdoor ceremony on the edge of the gorgeous Inverness Club golf course with its rolling hills and colorful trees in the distance.
Read MoreAs a general theme of 2020, I think we can all agree that love is never cancelled. When Collin and Elizabeth’s original wedding plans were impacted by the pandemic they decided to focus in on what really matters most to them— getting married and starting their life together as husband and wife. The Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio was the perfect place to tie the knot. As Elizabeth said, “We were so ready and excited to start the next chapter of our lives together, taking the next step was not something we wanted to wait for. Love conquers all and this pandemic was not going to put our lives on hold!”
Read MoreAfter 10 years of photographing weddings I would be hard pressed to think of another day that was so full of overwhelming emotions and truly sweet moments as Alyssa and Andy’s celebration. It was small, intimate and oh so special. Andy is sadly a widower and has three absolutely beautiful and precious daughters: Reese, Blake and Jordyn. Seeing his girls welcome Alyssa into their family was awe-inspiring.
Read MoreWe've all been using new words and phrases in 2020 that previously weren’t in our day to day communication such as social distancing and quarantine, but I’ve recently learned a new one that I absolutely love and can totally get excited about and that is “minimony!” You may be wondering what a minimony is and it’s exactly what it sounds like— a mini ceremony with 10 people or fewer. The guest count may be downsized, but the sentiment and emotions are full scale!
Read MoreBecky and Bob’s wedding day may not have been how they originally envisioned it, with a big room full of all their friends and family, but it was no less special and meaningful! As far as small wedding venues in Columbus go, Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph is pretty darn perfect! The Joseph made every effort possible to ensure Becky and Bob had a wonderful wedding day that was safe, beautiful, and executed flawlessly.
Read MoreBrunch weddings are where it’s at! Waking up with the sun, serving donuts during cocktail hour, enjoying an awesome omelet and waffle station for your reception and toasting with mimosas is all a win in my book! Audrey started her day getting ready at the Hancock Hotel with her bridesmaids getting their hair and makeup done. With her friends surrounding her Audrey slipped into her modern dress and had her mom tie a perfect bow in the back. She had the sweetest first look with her dad and incorporated a sign that read, “I loved her first.”
