My brother is engaged!! It’s so crazy to type those words but my whole family is overjoyed about this! A few weeks ago, my younger brother, John Paul, proposed to Kaleena in the midst of a crazy snow storm. He is the first one in my family to get married and so as you can […]

Esmeralda & José’s riverside California wedding kicked off my 2022 wedding season and it was such a special day to be a part of! I had the best time getting to know these two last June when I flew out to CA for their two-part engagement session and I’ve been eagerly awaiting going back for […]

It’s finally time to share this beautiful Dec. 31 wedding! This wedding was filled with so much love and joy and it was so fun to end my 2021 wedding season with this one! You will quickly see how joyful Makilah is, her smile lights up every room she enters and she was one of […]

I have been so excited to share this wedding with you all! From beginning to end this was a magical winter wedding. I’ve known Taylor since college (we were household sisters together at Franciscan University). When Taylor got engaged last summer, I was so honored when she reached out and asked if I would be […]

The weekend before Christmas, I flew down to Florida for Olivia & Joe’s wedding (also managed to photograph three different engagement sessions in three different cities while on this trip haha). Everything about this day was a delight to be a part of and photograph! I have done several southern weddings now, but I’ve never […]

Rachel and Chris were married on a blustering winter day in Northern Virginia and it was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. I loved getting to know these two and their families and it was an honor to capture their day. Two of my favorite moments of the morning were when Rachel took a quiet […]

This wedding was a wonderful way to kick of my last month of 2021 weddings! Marty and Shane were married in Cleveland GA on a sunny and 70degree day. Coming from Ohio, this weather was amazing for a December wedding. The leaves were gone, but we still had a magical time for their first look […]

On the last Saturday of October, Catherine & Isaac were married. Every part of the day was centered on love and family. Rich shades of red & dark navy, the elegant flowers, Catherine’s vintage dress (which she found at a second-hand shop and then altered the top herself – wow!), and the exploding fall colors […]

Caroline & Mike’s dusty blue and burnt orange October wedding was a dream to photograph! Not only are they two of the nices people (and so are their family and friends), but there were so many sweet moments I got to capture with my lens. I have been looking forward to this wedding ever since […]

Y’all I might be sounding like a broken record with all these fall weddings, but each one is just SO good and I get so excited every time I’m ready to share a new one! Julie & Peter’s day was no exception. Julie and I were next-door neighbors our freshman year of college at Franciscan […]

Maria and Patrick’s wedding day was straight out of a fairytale, or better yet a Taylor Swift music video (this wedding gives me strong “Love Story or Enchanted” vibes. Totally random tangent, but does anyone else remember when it was a big thing to make music videos out of movie clips and put them to […]

You guys. This wedding. Where do I start? I think the photo above accurately depicts the sheer amount of JOY that radiated throughout this day. Ellie & Pete are highschool sweethearts and they and their families waited 8 years for this day and it was so worth the wait. I photographed Ellie’s older brother’s wedding […]

Classy, elegant, and a pop of just plain cool are the best words I can think to describe this incredibly fun downtown Pittsburgh wedding. Cristina and Michael were such an enjoyable couple to work with and their laid back attitudes and love of life and adventure came together for a wonderful day. I don’t know […]

I feel like I start to sound like a broken record with each new wedding I share, but I just can’t help it! MaryKate and Tom’s wedding was incredible from beginning to end and it was an honor to be a part of it. MaryKate went to Franciscan University with me and it was so […]

A few weeks ago I flew out to Nashville for a quick 24-hour trip to capture Taylor and Vaughan’s engagement photos. Taylor went to Franciscan University with me (she was just a few years ahead of me) and we belonged to the same household (FUS’s version of a sorority). Taylor is an incredible musician and […]
