Katelyn and Wes

I remember the day I met Katelyn..in fact it was not hard to forget because when she walked through my door I saw her wearing a bracelet that represented a dear friend of mine who had recently passed. At that moment I knew she was going to be a bride of mine. I am not sure if I really expressed how I felt about it but we both noticed each other wearing them which struck up instant conversation. That day I felt like it was a sign.
 Katelyn and Wes are such a fun loving couple. They had made great choices for picture locations and a great reception spot! They were spot on with her blue shoes and his cool socks. The bridal party was quite fab too and so easy to direct. I think the one thing I will remember most on their wedding day was our quick trip downtown worthington. Katelyn wanted a shot in the middle of the road and we got so lucky! As we were walking, a worthington cop just happen to be turning and stopped traffic for us to grab the bridal party shot. Perfect timing! The night ended perfectly with dancing and drinks.

Many Blessings to you both!

Mackenzie and Josh

So thankful for people like Mackenzie and Josh. They welcomed me with open arms during their wedding. Making it so easy to photograph them and their wedding. The scenery around the church was so fun as you can see. M and J may your lives be full of love and laughter!

Erica and Morgan

I think of Erica and Morgan's wedding as the beginning of summer for me. Even though it was close to the end of May and summer does not officially begin until end of June. Just something about this wedding relaxed me and made everything seem smooth. Perfect in every way! Thank you to them for having me along for the day. Cheers to many years of happiness!

The G Family

I really get excited when another photographer asks me to photograph their family. Especially Sarah's family! You recognize her, right? We have been working alot together this past year and have really created a great friendship. Not to mention working relationship too.
 Sarah, Josh and their cutie pie Caelyn are very easy to work with. They came prepared and dressed beautifully! The day was a little warm but it did not phase us with the slight breeze hitting our faces. Thank you for a great session and I hope to see many of these images hanging in your home soon. :)

Jen and Adam

Last year I met Jen through a mutual friend of ours and I instantly knew when I walked in the door she was awesome! Jen is so outgoing and we talked for quite sometime about her wedding plans. The one thing that I loved about her and even Adam was that they knew what they wanted. They had ideas for pictures and places picked out. They were both very organized! Wedding day arrived and we were blessed with fabulous weather. Jen and Adam decided to meet before the ceremony to allow for plenty of pictures. LOVED THIS! I was even lucky enough to have photog friend Sarah Gaylor come along to second shoot. We stopped at Harding Memorial which was awesome and the lighting was gorgeous. After we headed to All Occasions to complete the rest of the evening and a few more pictures. In all it was a great day.
Cheers to a beautiful life together and congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your little one!
