Still feeling inspired after an unforgettable day at the Columbus Museum of Art, where I had the opportunity to capture an editorial filled with elegance and intentionality.

Every detail was thoughtfully planned and styled by an incredible team of luxury creatives, culminating in a vision of unmatched beauty. It was more than just a styled shoot—it was a gathering of passionate artists, wedding industry friends old and new, and a powerful reminder of why we do what we do and how to serve our couples even better with an elevated client experience, fueled by both hustle and heart.

What a delight it was to document and create art, all while being surrounded by art.

There’s something incredibly special about a love story that begins in childhood and weaves its way through the years. Lexie and Damian have known each other since the 5th grade, shared a brief middle school romance, and remained close friends through high school. They officially began dating at their senior year and grew through different colleges before life brought them even closer together. Damian’s thoughtful proposal happened during a family vacation—while they were taking family photos. A perfect surprise in the middle of a moment already filled with love.

Their wedding day reflected every part of their joyful story. With bright, vibrant florals, a wedding party full of energy and laughter and the cutest flower girls, it was a day that radiated warmth and celebration. Just after their ceremony, which was characterized by so many sacred moments, the sun broke through the clouds, casting the perfect glow over their first moments as husband and wife.

A love story this rich in history and rooted in friendship is rare—and it was an honor to document such a meaningful and beautiful day.

Congrats and much love, Lexie & Damian! So thrilled for y’all!

The day will go by in a blur.
But when you carve out a few minutes to pause—just the two of you—
You’ll remember how it felt.
I always encourage my couples to make space to savor the day.
To breathe in the moment, hold each other’s hands, and feel the weight of what’s unfolding— the new chapter that’s beginning.
Those are the moments you’ll treasure most. 🤍

Beauty in the Details—

Individually, these may seem to be just pretty things. But together, they tell the story of you. The perfume or cologne you selected because its scent will always remind you of this day. The custom designed invitation suite that first welcomed your guests into this journey. The jewelry, family heirlooms, shoes, and florals—each a reflection of your love, style, and thoughtfulness.

I love capturing your carefully selected details the morning of your wedding, because they are the first brushstrokes of your wedding day story— a story that deserves to be told beautifully and retold through the images cherished for years after the day has passed.

As a wedding photographer, my heart is to serve my couples with the goal of increasing joy and decreasing stress every step of the way—especially on your wedding day. One of the biggest ways to create a calm, meaningful, and joyful experience is by carefully considering how and when you see each other for the first time.

I used to be neutral on the idea of a “first look,” but after over a decade of photographing weddings, I have come to truly believe in the many benefits it offers. A first look provides a private, intimate moment to soak in the excitement together before the whirlwind of the day begins. It allows for a chance to calm each other’s nerves, and, logistically, it helps create a smoother, more relaxed timeline. Couples who choose a first look often get more portraits together, enjoy a stress-free transition into their ceremony, and ultimately have more time to be fully present with their guests.

That said, above all else, my goal is always to serve each couple in a way that best honors their unique love story. If a first look isn’t for you, I highly recommend a “first touch” or a moment of prayer together before your ceremony. This allows you to connect, exchange a few heartfelt words, laugh together and maybe shed some happy tears together without seeing each other beforehand. A first touch can be incredibly and beautifully emotional, providing a sense of calm and reassurance while still preserving the tradition of seeing each other for the first time at the altar.

I love that Emily and Greg chose to do a “first touch” and pray together before their ceremony! It was so sweet and an honor to capture these sincere and sentimental moments. (It’s hard to believe this was almost a year ago and that they will be celebrating their first wedding anniversary in just a few days!)

Whether you choose a first look, a first touch, or another meaningful moment, I’m here to help guide you in creating a wedding day experience that is joyful, stress-free, and deeply personal to you. 🤍

About a year and a half ago, I had the incredible honor of capturing Katie and Jack’s wedding day—documenting the moment they began their forever. And next year, I get to do it all over again… this time for Katie’s sister, Kelli, and her fiancé Alan!

It’s a rare and beautiful gift to be invited back into a family’s love story in this way. To witness the legacy that began with their parents—the love that built a home, raised two little girls, and shaped the women they’ve become. Two sisters, each finding the one with whom they want to spend the rest of their lives. Two wedding days filled with laughter, happy tears, and the kind of love that stands the test of time.

Being chosen to document these milestones is something I don’t take lightly. It’s more than just photographs; it’s preserving a family’s history, a love story that spans generations. And as Kelli walks down the aisle to Alan, I’ll be there once again—capturing the next chapter of this beautiful legacy.

To the Cox family, thank you for trusting me with your most treasured moments. My heart is so full, and I cannot wait to celebrate with you all again!

Revisiting just a few favorites from Katie and Matt’s beautiful wedding! I loved their gorgeous florals, their first look with each other (and with their pup Gracie!), the endless fun shared by all, their final dance and their fabulous exit!

Thankful to have the honor of serving sweet couples like Katie and Matt and the privilege to photograph and encapsulate such special moments in their lives.

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Ferguson!

Mackenzie & Trent’s wedding day was filled with so much love, fun, and meaningful tradition. From Mackenzie’s wedding dress, which had it’s final alterations lovingly sewn by her 90-year-old Oma, to their sentimental and sacred ceremony, to the jovial German toast and song before their reception from the bride’s family patriarchs, every detail reflected their deep love for each other and their families.

Set against the stunning backdrop of a few iconic Cincinnati cityscapes, their downtown-chic celebration was full of elegance and joy. Even with the chilly air, these two were absolute troopers, soaking in every moment of their beautiful day.

What an honor it was begin my 2025 wedding season with this sweet couple and to have had the privilege of capturing the beginning of this next chapter in their story! Congrats and much love, Mackenzie and Trent!
