Alex and Maddie’s wedding day was special in so many ways. Especially since many that attended have watched their relationship grow since they were 10 and 12! You heard that right. These two got their beginnings in a community theatre rendition of High School Musical back in grade school. They didn’t start dating ’til high […]
Weddings are always such a joy to photograph, but when it’s for a dear friend, it’s extra special! Every minute of Sam and Sara’s celebration at Bel-Wood Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio was sweet, joyful and just the best picture of all the things that make these two so unique! The torrential downpours stayed away, […]
Mary is a natural storyteller. It stems from her love of literature. Inspired her first career choice as an english teacher and now it empowers her to tell the stories of families through her beautiful photography! She has this incredible knack of paying attention to the little details and articulating them in a way that […]

It’s the responses to those that typically become the things we most remember. […]

But in the year of “supposed to’s” it was moved to the springtime. Which was such a beautiful representation of the joy that bloomed throughout the day! Taylor […]
This wedding celebration has been a longgg time coming! And my excitement to document it has just increased as the days have gone on! Thomas & Elise were originally scheduled to tie the knot last October, but when another spike of Covid arose, they decided to postpone until the spring. In that process, Elise took […]
I’m pretty sure I leapt for joy when Kate reached out to me at the end of this last summer to plan a brand photoshoot! For starters, she’s the most incredible artist and I had fallen in love with both her work as a clay maker and all the unique designs she creates for her […]
It’s always a good indicator of how fun the wedding day will be when we walk into the bridal suite and you can hear all the excitement from outside the front door! That’s one of the best ways to describe Luke & Rachael’s Newport, KY wedding at The Turn Vintage on Sunday. It was filled […]
