Leah + Sean

This couple is special to me because, before I had even met either of them,  Sean hired me to document the proposal in Cleveland Public Square.  It was a perfect summer day, there were people all around enjoying the beautiful weather, and the time of day was perfect for photos.  It couldn’t have been planned any better! 

I was thrilled when they chose me as their wedding photographer as well.  It doesn’t happen often that I get to be there for both the proposal and the wedding! 

The big day started at the Glendale Lyceum in Cincinnati, Ohio.  It was such a beautiful location for getting ready photos.  So much natural light, great architectural details, and plenty of space to spread out and get some unique shots. 

The wedding colors and decor were beautiful!  The colors were burgundy and grey.  The succulents they used complimented the colors perfectly. 

Leah’s dress was from a dress shop in Reading, Ohio called Something New Borrowed and Blue.  It was an ivory, A-line gown with floral lace on the bodice.  The skirt was made of tulle and it had a gorgeous, long train.  The buttons on the back of the dress were the perfect detail.  I love that she wore a veil as well.  We were able to get some stunning photos with it. 

The ceremony took place at Trinity United Methodist Church in Milford.  Sean and Leah did a first look before the ceremony and it was perfection.  We also got some gorgeous group photos before the rain started.  It was perfect timing!

The day concluded at the Glendale Lyceum for a picture perfect reception.  It was pure magic <3

Krystal + Kyle

This couple!  They’re my dream clients!  Kyle and Krystal are just the kindest people around.  They are so genuine, and I’m so honored to have been their wedding photographer.  

Their venue was perfect!  Both the ceremony and reception took place at a wedding venue called Skyview Lodge in Brunswick, Ohio.  There are so many great little spots to shoot around the property which meant we didn’t have to spend time traveling to other locations for the formal photos.  I LOVE having everything in one place.  It eliminates so much extra stress. 

We started off with the first look which was EPIC!  One of the most beautiful first looks I’ve ever done for sure.  For those who aren’t sure what a first look is, it’s a way for the couple to see each other for the first time before the ceremony, in a more intimate setting.  Some couples want a private experience with just the two of them and the photographer, other couples allow friends and families to be there to experience it as well.  I love when couples decide to do this because the schedule is typically much more relaxed this way. 

My second shooter and I were able to get the group photos wrapped up seconds before the rain began.  The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.  The rain ended up being a blessing because it forced everyone to sit and relax.  The wedding party got a chance to grab some food and rest before the ceremony. 

The rain stopped at the perfect time and the outdoor ceremony was absolute PERFECTION!  We truly could not have asked for a more beautiful day. 

We even got some amazing night shots with the venue in the background.  Krystal and Kyle chose some of these images for their wedding album and they looked stunning in print!
