Amanda + Jim | Festive Winter Wedding | Salem Golf Club | Salem, Ohio

Usually, my December every year is my month off to enjoy the holiday festivities. This past holiday season, I made an exception when I met Amanda and Jim and I’m sure glad I did!…

Lauren and Steve's Personal and Romantic Summer Barn Wedding at The Grand Barn at the Mohicans in Glenmont, Ohio

It’s no surprise that Fall is my busiest time of the year. I think my absolute favorite month for weddings is September. That month has brought me some of the most magical weddings. Lauren and Steve’s was one of them this year! I don’t know how many times I just wanted to break down and cry happy tears. They are some of the kindest people I know and there were so many moments during the day that were filled with so much emotion and joy and love - I couldn’t handle it! I’ve gotten to know these two over the years and they are so deserving of every ounce of happiness their wedding day and their future holds for them….

Jess and Donny's Intimate Summer Cabin Elopement in Hocking Hills, Ohio

Over the past year, Hocking Hills has easily become one of my favorite places to explore. The trip isn’t too far from Youngstown and the drive is so beautiful and peaceful through the rolling hills and countryside. Last year was the first time I ever went, and it was for one of my best friend’s wedding (you can check out that blog here). So when my friend Jess asked me to photograph her and Donny’s elopement there, I was sooooo excited to go back!…

Taylor and James' Summer Engagement Session in German Village and Schiller Park in Columbus, Ohio

One of the best parts of my job is getting to explore new places. When Taylor and James asked if I would be willing to travel to Columbus (where they live) to shoot their engagement session, my fingers couldn't type my response fast enough! German Village in Columbus, Ohio is one of those gorgeous, swoon-worthy places that I've been dying to photograph at. It has a romantic quality to it and is certainly fitting for an engagement session! We also explored Schiller park. One thing they didn't warn me about is how many dogs would be running around the park. It was like I entered the mecca for good and friendly dogs. If you know me, you know how much I love dogs. I took every ounce of my being to not pet every single one but needless to say, I was in heaven! Fortunately for me, I didn't seem like a crazy person because Taylor and James both love dogs, too :]…
