Kelly & Scott's Fall Engagement Portrait Session: Schiller Park, German Village - Columbus, Ohio

It's hard to believe that Kelly and Scott's wedding day is just a couple of months away! The couple has an appreciation for unique urban spaces in the Columbus area. With their downtown Columbus wedding, the pair decided to add some urban flair to their engagement session at the beautiful Schiller Park nestled in the heart of German Village. Not only does Schiller Park boast the quaint atmosphere that German Village is known for, but it's gardens are impeccably kept and the pond, bridge, and stage are breathtaking and make you feel like you're somewhere else. It's one of my favorite places for photographs, so I was thrilled to hear that they wanted to go there!

We had the perfect fall day for their session and enjoyed venturing through the park. I can't wait for their wedding in just a couple of months. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Alex & Chad Wedding: The Club at Corazón, Dublin, Ohio

High School sweethearts, Alex and Chad, tied the knot in a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception at The Club at Corazón in Dublin, Ohio. The two met in junior high and started dating in High School. Their relationship blossomed and they both went down to Athens to Ohio University for undergrad.

Growing up together, they have a very special bond that's easy to see. The couple works incredibly hard at each endeavor, but they also make time to find the fun in life and their positive attitudes, smiles, and laughter are contagious. :-)

They got engaged their junior year of college, and after 3 years of planning their dream wedding became a reality! Everything about their wedding day was picture perfect. They had fallen in love with the rustic Italy feel of indoor and outdoor spaces at Club at Corazón. The morning was drizzly, but the weather gave way to beautiful blue skies and puffy clouds for their ceremony.

Every detail had so much thought. From their purple and green color scheme, to their large photo collage, to the surprise custom first dance, their wedding details made their day very memorable. Since they have so many memories from their college days, they very creatively included OU in their wedding decor and table numbers. All of their guests had a a wonderful time, keeping the dance floor packed until it was time for their sparkler send-off!

A special congrats to Alex and Chad and their quickly approaching anniversary. It was so much fun working with them both and their families. I cannot wait to see what other adventures the future holds for them!

Everett Newborn Session: Home, Columbus, Ohio

One of the best parts of what I do is the connections and relationships that I build with my clients. There is no greater honor than being able to stay in touch and document their lives as their families grow and lives change.

It was wonderful working with past wedding clients, Merisa and Curt, to capture their little one, Everett in their home! He is already so loved and blessed to have them as his parents. Everett was born just before the holidays in December, so we were able to have some fun holiday themed photos during his session.

Enjoy some of my favorites from his session!

Emma + Thomas's Spring Engagement Session: Inniswood Metro Gardens, Westerville, Ohio

This winter is flying by and spring is not far behind! I'm reflecting back on some of my favorite sessions this past spring and I wanted to share some of my favorites from Emma and Thomas's engagement session.

I had the honor of working with these two in 2016 for their wedding and engagement session. The couple met through mutual friends, and after 5 years of dating they decided to tie the knot! They selected the beautiful Inniswood Metro Gardens in Westerville, Ohio for their engagement session. Inniswood is a truly unique park in the Columbus area. It offers is a large variety of gardens/backdrops for us to choose from, plus you also have a wooded area too and a really neat bridge! The park volunteers and staff do an excellent job changing up the flowers throughout the seasons, so no two portrait sessions there look alike!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Hannah & Joel's Spring Wedding - Park of Roses & The Barn at Rocky Fork Creek, Columbus, Ohio

Hannah & Joel Wedding

April 15th, 2016

Whetstone Park of Roses | Columbus, Ohio

The Barn at Rocky Fork Creek | New Albany, Ohio

From the first moment I met Hannah and Joel at a bridal show, I loved everything about them. Hannah's laugh is contagious and she is one of the sweetest and most bubbly people you will ever meet. Joel's easy-going and positive style is a perfect match for her. The couple's love of food and cooking runs deep and connects them - it's actually how they met! They originally met while working together at Whole Foods. They both have a gift when it comes to food and flavors, and their culinary talents are exceptional! They've created a fabulous local food blog, "The Beard and The Baker" and have even been featured on Good Day Columbus. You can visit their website here and see some great tips, recipes, and local restaurant reviews here: http://www.thebeardandthebaker.com/

In addition to their love of the culinary world, two of the things Hannah and Joel value the most is their loved ones and truly living in the moment. When asked what their dream wedding would be like, they described it as having natural and fun vibes, a celebration of those closest to them, and like "a party where we happen to get married".

Their wedding day was just that - They were blessed with an amazingly warm and beautiful spring day in April for their ceremony at the Park of Roses. Everything about it was perfect! Flowers were blooming, the sky was blue, and Hannah looked stunning in her gown while Joel looked dapper in his suspenders. A close friend of the couple officiated their ceremony. After the ceremony, they headed to one of their favorite restaurants, The Barn at Rocky Fork Creek in Gahanna, for their reception.

It was truly a pleasure getting to know them both in the year prior to their wedding and has been wonderful to see how their lives have continued to grow in their culinary pursuits and growing family! :-) I cannot wait to see what other adventures the future holds for them!

Enjoy some of my favorite photos from their big day!

Whitney + Greg's Winter Engagement Session: Gahanna Woods State Nature Preserve & Studio, Columbus, Ohio

We wrapped up 2016 and started the year off right with an engagement session for one of our spring wedding couples, Whitney and Greg! The pair's relationship has been growing for the past few years and they are set to tie the knot this May! The two braved a beautiful, but chilly day at one of my all-time favorite locations, Gahanna Woods State Nature Preserve, before heading to the studio for some indoor photos as well.

Even though it was my first time meeting Greg, it was easy to see the special connection they both share. The session was authentic and fun - they know just how to make each other giggle and it was so nice to get to know them a little better. I enjoyed capturing their love and beautiful connection. I can't wait to capture their big day in just a few months!
