When Samantha and Will asked to do their session along Skyline Drive, I was envisioning sunshine and beautiful mountain top views. We didn’t have the option of rescheduling and so when I saw rain was on the forecast, I quickly reassured Samantha and WIll that they would get amazing photos no matter what the weather […]

The mountains, color scheme, flowers, the hint of fall on the air, all of it made for the most beautiful wedding day for Marin and Max. These two met at Franciscan University through mutual friends and graduated this past spring. They love their families and friends fiercely and wanted their wedding to be special and […]

It’s officially September which means it’s FALL and my favorite time of year again! Seriously, I know it’s the basic white girl thing to love all things fall but I seriously do! I always have and I probably always will. There’s something about the muted fall colors, the transition into cooler weather, all the cozy […]

When Brittany first reached out to me earlier this year and told me her wedding was in Youngstown, Ohio at Stambaugh Auditorium, I was super excited. Brittany told me that she and Dave chose Stambaugh to be their ceremony venue because they loved the building’s architecture and beauty; and my goodness, it made for the […]

If you pause and envision a summer wildflower wedding with golden yellows and blush tones, delicate floral lace, a beautiful flower crown, warm sunshine, little ones running around in the grass, lots of laughter and good conversations, and a beaming bride and groom, you will have just pictured Brianna & Tim’s wedding. Brianna & Tim’s […]

This blog post is LONG overdue but hopefully so worth the wait! At the beginning of July, I flew down to the great state of Texas (for the first time which was so fun) to photograph Maria & Bence’s wedding at the Lost Mission in the Texas Hill Country just outside of San Antonio. As […]

I first met Priscilla and William for their engagement session last September. I was instantly struck by how sweet and genuine these two are. They met through Catholic Match and quickly fell for one another and were soon frequently making trips between CT and Ohio to visit one another. And finally, after waiting and praying […]

On an unusually chilly Saturday in June, Megan walked down the aisle of her home parish, Immaculate Conception, with one arm on her father and her other arm holding on to her brightly colored bouquet. Her shoes somehow perfectly matched her flowers and trailing behind her was an exquisite cathedral veil. At the end of […]

Where do I begin with this wedding and this couple? Julia and Aidan both met as college freshman at Franciscan University and their friendship quickly turned into love. In her toast, Julia’s sister shared how she knew Aidan might be the one because he made Julia laugh more than she ever had before and that […]

When Danielle & Max reached out to me and asked if I was willing to photograph their Melkite Greek Catholic Wedding, I immediately said yes. I love learning about and photographing other traditions and it has been years since I last photographed an Eastern Catholic wedding. In a Melkite Greek Catholic wedding, there are actually […]

“To love another person is to see the face of God.” This quote by Victor Hugo seems to perfectly sum up Christina and Kevin’s beautiful wedding day. From the moment we walked in the door of Christina’s childhood home, to the moment we waved them goodbye at the end of the night, there was just […]

Last weekend on one of the hottest May days, Carissa and David became husband and wife. A record high heat wave (for May) decided to blow through the north eastern side of the US and we had temps soaring over 95 degrees on Saturday. Despite the heat (and the fact that Carissa and David specifically […]

You guys, this wedding was SO SO special and beautiful for a number of reasons! Firstly, it was just objectively beautiful: I’ve photographed a number of weddings in Florida at this point but this was the first one that was truly tropical and everything from the invitations, flowers, wedding attire, colors, and photo locations fit […]

Katie & Sean were married at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Wheeling with their reception at Oglebay Resort. Alaina from Soiree by Souleret was […]

This elegant spring wedding a week after Easter was such a joyful celebration! Nichole and Daniel are both such kind and wonderful people and I know I say this every time, but it really was such a joy to work with them! We started the day off with the boys. Daniel and his crew have […]
