Sadie and Nathan’s wedding day overflowed with love, laughter, and beauty—and you’d never guess from the photos just how chilly it was for the end of May! They were married in a reverent Traditional Latin Mass at the breathtaking Shrine of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Cleveland, Ohio. The grandeur of the church set the […]

Last June, I had the joy of photographing Hannah and Matthew’s wedding at one of the most breathtaking cathedrals in the country—Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral in Toledo, Ohio. So when Kara and Konrad reached out and shared they were getting married in the very same cathedral, I was thrilled. Not […]

There’s something undeniably magical about rainy spring weddings, and Sarah & Noah’s early May celebration in Buffalo, NY was no exception. The entire day felt like something out of a storybook — full of emotion, elegance, and just the right touch of drama from the weather. I began the day with Sarah at her parents’ […]

Briana and Dan’s February wedding took place on a beautiful winter day! Their wedding Mass was at the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France (The Old Cathedral) which is situated directly next to the iconic St. Louis Gateway Arch. Despite having been to St. Louis several times now, I had never been to this […]

My first wedding of 2025 just so happened to fall on February 14 and it was a pretty fun way to spend Valentine’s Day! Mary Rose and Luke met while working at a Catholic church on Long Island so it was only fitting that they got married in a Catholic church on Long Island. Their […]

When Marissa first reached out to me over a year ago for her L.A. wedding, we clicked pretty instantly. In between paragraphs about logistics for their wedding weekend, we shared back and forth about faith, love, and the joy of waiting for God’s timing. I was looking forward to their late December wedding all year […]

Liz & Abe’s classy wedding took place in Olean, NY at the end of November. Liz got ready at the Old Library Inn which was actually where her mom got ready for her wedding years ago. We even got to recreate some bridal portraits of Liz’s mom on the grand staircase with the stained glass […]

When Torie & Matt first reached out to me early last year, they described their vision for their wedding: a day centered on their Nuptial Mass followed by a whimsical garden-themed reception. I think after scrolling through this post you will have to agree with me that Torie and Matt accomplished their vision! Both Torie […]

With Christmas and New Year’s celebrations behind us, I am finally getting around to finishing sharing the last of my 2024 weddings! This was a particularly crazy Oct-Dec for me but I’m so grateful for everyone’s patience and I sincerely believe this gorgeous Front Royal, VA wedding was worth the wait! Elizabeth & Dominic have […]

It might be the fact that Medina OH reminded me just a little of Stars Hollow (complete with it’s own town square and white gazebo), or maybe the fact that Mary Rose has a Rory Gilmore-esque fashion sense and dark brown hair, or the fact that their wedding will be in New England, or even […]

Danielle & Noah’s October wedding was a joy to be a part of! We were blessed with the most glorious weather – sunny and warm (which sounds so nice as I currently sit here under my heated blanket on yet another dreary cold day haha). They were married at the very church they met at, […]

At the beginning of October, I drove up to New Hampshire for Carolyn & Frankie’s romantic New England fall wedding. I had photographed Frankie’s sister’s wedding a few years ago and it was so fun to be invited back to document another wedding in their family! New England in the fall is probably one of […]

Alex and Jarod’s late September wedding started as a very rainy day but thankfully we had a covered location for their first look and by the time we came out of the church after their Nuptial Mass, the rain had disappeared! While I’m grateful we had clear skies for the rest of the day, I […]

The first word that comes to my mind when I think of Marybeth & Mitch’s Pittsburgh wedding is joy. You won’t have to scroll down far to understand what I mean as Marybeth’s contagious smile lights up every room she’s in and she was truly glowing on her wedding! Marybeth and Mitch were married at […]
