Megan and Angie's Intimate Disney Wedding at Union Tower and The Hippodrome in Warren, Ohio

What a month September has been. I’ve been looking forward to Megan and Angie’s wedding for what feels like forever. When the day came, I could barely hold it together. No one could, honestly. There were happy tears all around! There’s something really special to be felt when you’re in a room and you feel this overwhelming sense of love and support. The kind of overwhelming that takes your breath away and stops you in your tracks. The kind where you’re fully present in that particular moment and really understand the gravity of what you’re experiencing. That’s the best way I can describe this wedding and was just so grateful to be witnessing something soooo beautiful, and even more grateful that this was happening for such a dear friend of mine….

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….

Megan & Angie’s Hometown Summer Engagement Session in Warren, Ohio

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just waiting for Megan and Angie’s wedding day to come. I’ve known Megan for what seems like forever - we’re practically family. To know she’s found someone as great as Angie to share her life with makes me so beyond happy. Seeing how they interacted during their engagement session was everything - their personalities mesh so well together and I think you can see from the pictures just how in love they are and how comfortable they are with each other….

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!…
