Tips to Make Wedding Party Photos Go Smoothly

To be fair, I’ve only had to raise my voice a couple of times during wedding party photos in my 10+ years of shooting weddings :P How you plan the flow of your wedding day REALLY matters, especially when it comes to your photos. Here are some things I’ve learned over the years that help make the wedding party photos go smoothly…

70s Inspired Editorial Photoshoot | Sarah of Thirty Four and Vine | The Suite on Federal | Youngstown, Ohio

While winter blues are real, the desire to create as a photographer hits especially hard this time of year. Every January, I get filled with ideas and have the need to create work outside of my typical wedding work or family session. That spark, that fire and that need to feed my soul with some ounce of creativity and color is where this photoshoot originated from. Pair that with spontaneous brainstorming alongside my friend Sarah and we got some pretty dope photos out of it…

Caylee + Jarrett | Engagement | Downtown Youngstown, Ohio

My journey with Caylee and Jarrett began in a hair salon. Caylee was sitting across the room from me, getting her hair done and talking about being newly engaged. Insert me looking like a complete crazy person with red and orange hair color all over my head (and probably my face if we’re being honest) and my hair stylist, Bianca (Roots Salon and Wellness Spa), hyping me up to Caylee. Now she could’ve ran for the hills but instead I got an email from her a couple of weeks later and we vibed instantly! Meeting her and Jarrett, having conversation and just hanging with them is easy. I knew photographing them would be fun!…
