Jillian and Josh's Micro Summer Wedding | Running Horse Farm | Geneva, Ohio

Okay okay okay, I’ll just say it. Covid has really made 2020 a year of surprises, mostly bad ones. But I will admit, the trend of micro weddings that this pandemic has thrust upon 2020 couples is actually a blessing in disguise! They’re intimate with very minimal bells and whistles, which helps everyone focus on the couple and their love rather than material things. To me, that’s what weddings are all about anyway, so it’s nice to be in the realm of smaller weddings. Jillian and Josh contacted me a few months ago and threw this intimate day together rather quickly (props, my friends!). It was such a lovely day with beautiful weather, tons of scenic views to take in at Running Horse Farm in Geneva, Ohio, and a naturally gorgeous ceremony and reception space that truly called for the “less is more” approach. So really, the day worked out perfectly!…

Some of you are planning weddings and, I’m sure, freaking the eff out. Wedding planning is already stressful enough, but this curve ball doesn’t mean you need to throw in the towel….

Jordyn and Cameron's Winter Disney Wedding at the Avalon in Warren, Ohio

I think I’m starting to enjoy winter weddings. Sure, I prefer warmth and sunshine BUT the truth is, I miss my couples and miss shooting during my offseason. So to have Jordyn and Cameron celebrating their union in January was so refreshing! Not only did I get to photograph a beautiful wedding, but I got to spend my day with such loving, compassionate, friendly and fun people. That’s definitely the icing on top of the cake (all puns intended). …
