Danielle and Craig's Outdoor Fall Wedding | Shangri-La Event Center | Garrettsville, Ohio

I always feel so honored when my friends ask me to photograph their wedding day. I feel even more honored when it’s someone I’ve been friends with for 10 plus years like Danielle. Before wedding planning with her, I don’t even remember the last time we had seen each other. Being able to reconnect with her for one of the biggest days of her life seriously makes me ten times more grateful for my career path!…

Christina and Michael's Woodsy and Fun Spring Engagement Session at Poland Forest, the Poland Library and Handels Ice Cream in Poland, Ohio

I love being a wedding photographer. The wedding day and preparation are so much fun and special for me (yes, you can call me crazy). There’s always so much anticipation, excitement and beautiful chaos that I completely enjoy. While wedding days are wonderful, I think engagement sessions with my couples are equally as exciting. This is usually the time throughout the whole process where I really really get to know my couples. Plus, we’re able to slow down and take our time navigating the session and really get to have a lot of fun in the process….

Lauren and Steve's Personal and Romantic Summer Barn Wedding at The Grand Barn at the Mohicans in Glenmont, Ohio

It’s no surprise that Fall is my busiest time of the year. I think my absolute favorite month for weddings is September. That month has brought me some of the most magical weddings. Lauren and Steve’s was one of them this year! I don’t know how many times I just wanted to break down and cry happy tears. They are some of the kindest people I know and there were so many moments during the day that were filled with so much emotion and joy and love - I couldn’t handle it! I’ve gotten to know these two over the years and they are so deserving of every ounce of happiness their wedding day and their future holds for them….
