Wildflower Engagement Session in Pennsylvania

We planned meticulously for this. While I was visiting family in Pennsylvania, we were going to get together and do the engagement session since they lived here, and I live in Ohio. We had the perfect park picked out, full of gardens and statement architecture, we purchased our tickets well in advance and coordinated the outfits… it was going to be a dream. However, there are many things that can change your plans… park closed for an event or storms are the most common, but in our case, it was a huge truck that had wrecked into the gardens the day before, causing the park to be shut down.

Cozy Fall Engagement Session at Fox In The Snow in Columbus, Oh

Let me introduce you to the worlds sweetest couple Melissa and Jake. These two have hearts of gold and their love is so genuine you can’t help but smile when you’re around them. Melissa is a preschool teacher at OSU and is currently working to get a masters in early childhood education. Jake is a nurse at OSU and works the night shift, so we planned an early morning engagement session to accommodate his schedule. These two share my love for coffee and all things Fox In The Snow, so it was an easy choice to start the session at the Italian Village coffee shop.

Palm House Wedding Celebrations at Franklin Park Conservatory

Franklin Park Conservatory is known for its bright architecture, venetian details, and romantic gardens, and those are also all things that fit the vision for Maddie and Pat’s September nuptials. To showcase the day, the invitation suite by Minted included a welcome letter to their guests that included hand drawn Columbus locations, done by the bride’s dad. The two waited a long time to be together with their closest friends and family so they wanted to make sure it was perfect.

Celebrating a Flyers Love Story in Worthington, Ohio

This engagement session has to have been the most anticipated photo shoot of my career, but it was certainly worth the wait! We had to reschedule countless times due to Ohio weather being unpredictable, a COVID exposure and the worst one being a car accident Adam and Hannah had while driving to meet me. Thankfully everyone was fine and we were able to find another day that was full of sunshine.

Golden Engagement Session around Downtown Columbus

I have been loving spending my sunny days photographing my couple’s sweet engagement sessions in downtown Columbus. When meeting Samantha and Max and learning about their love story, it only made sense when planning their session that we go back to the place that has so much meaning and has been a part of their most treasured moments, Franklin Park Conservatory.

Joyful High Line Car House Wedding in Columbus, Ohio

Morgan and Josh were most excited for one thing: celebrating with all of their friends and family after their ceremony at High Line Car House in Columbus, Ohio. You could tell from start to finish that this day was full of celebrating. All of our faces hurt by the end from smiling and laughing together so much. Before the ladies got in their dusty blue dresses at Hotel LeVeque, a pop of champagne was in order and it wasn’t just any champagne, it was a bottle of Dom Perignon.
