When I first met Raymond and John, it was through a video meeting in the middle of quarantine. Even through a virtual meeting, I could just tell that I’d have so much fun with them. And we certainly had a blast at their engagement session! The energy was so light and playful as we basically just hung out, getting to know each other and taking pictures….
Read MoreThis year has officially become the year of overcoming adversity. Shafica and Jason’s wedding planning was just that. There were roadblocks from the beginning of the year, when we had to reschedule their engagement session several times because of Covid, and then their wedding had to be rescheduled because of Covid. But they pushed through all of that, together, along with their friends and family by their side. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was going to stop these two from having a beautiful wedding!

And there will always be a time in the future for the big celebration, but for now, in a time where minimalism has taken the reigns in many people’s lives during this pandemic, an intimate ceremony with a handful of people is *CHEFS KISS* perfect….
Read MoreI feel like I’m saying this a lot lately, but I’m just so thankful for my job because it has reunited me with people I haven’t seen in many, many years. Like Marissa! We both studied art at Youngstown State University, where we met during our internship. We’ve kept in touch throughout the years thanks to social media, but I really don’t think I had seen her since graduating, which was over ten years ago (yikes!). So when Marissa and Anthony got engaged, I was so over the moon happy for them. And when Marissa asked me to be her wedding photographer, I was really really over the moon happy!…
