I truly love what I do and I’m there to help in

I truly love what I do and I’m there to help in every single way that I can on a wedding day. Whether that’s helping you get in your dress, bustle your dress, get makeup from an Aunt off a collar, or actually photographing, know that I’m there as a friend before I want to call myself just your photographer.

We had the most beautiful fall colors back when we

We had the most beautiful fall colors back when we did this hilarious engagement session. Here’s how to plan your fall engagement photos when the world is hopefully more certain and less corona-y (save this for later!):⠀
⠀
🌿 Plan ahead of wanting a weekend. I only have so many wedding-free weekends where I can squeeze you in. ⠀
⠀
🌿 Ideally, take a day off work or do a half day during peak colors and choose a weekday. Everyone for Homecoming, weddings, and family and senior portraits is wanting a weekend in a gorgeous setting as well. Skipping a Saturday or Sunday evening means prime locations.⠀
⠀
🌿 Choose colors that stand out from your surroundings, boot have you blend in. ⠀
⠀
🌿 Think about your fall footwear. Boots are always a cute go to. Leaves might be a little wet.⠀
⠀
🌿 End or October / beginning of November is always a good guess when booking farther out.⠀
⠀
🌿 Start your session right before sunrise or about 1-2 hours before sunset for the best light.

Corona couldn’t stop these two from getting marr

Corona couldn’t stop these two from getting married yesterday! Glad we juuuuuust snuck by the official ban that goes into effect for Ohioans to stay at home starting Monday! Super intimate ceremony and portraits yesterday, reception in August. Two parties for one amazing couple! 🙌🏽

First wedding of 2020 is today 🙌🏽 Just a ceremony, for now. Corona can’t stop us!
⠀
Those little moments during weddings and engagement shoots are everything. I love photographing flowing hair, it’s one of the most beautiful things to me.

I’ve said it before, but I’m all about FUN on

I’ve said it before, but I’m all about FUN on a wedding day. Weddings are supposed to be fun, right? Especially after this shitshow going on right now.⠀
⠀
Here are my top tips for having a FUN day (save this post for later!):⠀
⠀
🌿 Surround yourself with those who lift you up, not tear you down. Worry about your well-being on your day over others’. If your MIL can’t be in the room when you’re getting ready because it’s feeling toxic, figure out a way to avoid that stress and keep her out. ⠀
⠀
🌿 Create time in your timeline for portraits (and fun ones!) , but also create downtime. Whether that’s party bus riding around or a bar, have some time with your spouse and friends!⠀
⠀
🌿 Do things your way. When it comes to the ceremony (family wants church and you’re not super religious), reception food, or first look when family is not approving, have the day in your unique style. ⠀
⠀
🌿 Finally, choose the right vendors. It’s great saving money, but nothing is going to stop you from having a fun day Iike a cheesy photographer or a really really bad DJ. Your wedding day isn’t a day to cut corners and sacrifice just to save a little.

I had all these super dope captions pre-written an

I had all these super dope captions pre-written and lined up and the truth is I’ve just been sitting on the couch panicking and not sleeping. I’m paralyzed unless I’m on the phone with a couple helping them sort something out.

Here’s one of my dear dear couples being forced to move because of this mess. I love you all ❤️

Want to know how to choose the perfect engagement

Want to know how to choose the perfect engagement outfits? Read below and be sure to save this post for later 👇🏽⠀
⠀
🌿 Color coordinate, but don’t be super matchy matchy⠀
⠀
🌿 Stay in the same color family (cool or warm)⠀
⠀
🌿 When in doubt, go with basics and neutrals and accessorize more modern and funky. You can always remove the accessories and change your look. ⠀
⠀
🌿 Dress for the season.⠀
⠀
🌿 When in doubt, lay your outfits out on your bed and look at them together. Are there too many patterns clashing? Do they have the same level of formal-ness? Are they cohesive?⠀
⠀
🌿 If you’re super stressed, text your helpful wedding photographer 💁🏻‍♀️ your outfits and think about bringing a few with you and coming a little early to get a few in person tips

Ooooooh! Friday the 13th! 😱⠀ I know it seems

Ooooooh! Friday the 13th! 😱⠀ I know it seems like the world is collapsing, but it’s all going to be okay. With all this COVID-19 stuff and the economy, I’ll gladly go back to the mess of 2019 with open arms. I just feel helpless and defeated right now (with a little extra toilet paper).
🤷🏻‍♀️
Luckily the large gathering ban in Ohio excludes weddings and I hope that I don’t get any more calls about reschedules and cancellations because I don’t know how much more my poor heart can take. With my goal being helping you have a stress free day, I feel totally paralyzed right now. But go to the blog to see my policies and procedures moving forward with this. ⭐️
We are all in this together. Be kind. Be respectful. And stay home if you’re feeling sick.

Long veils are my favorite. Go big or go home 🙌

Long veils are my favorite. Go big or go home 🙌🏽⠀
⠀
We can get those super romantic photos where you’re tangled up in your veil and we can get these more epic shots where it’s just blowing in the breeze. ⠀
⠀
Plus, long veils are the perfect beach accessory because unlike shorter veils, they will blow in a way that looks good (and won’t be in your face all the time).

The party was really getting started downstairs an

The party was really getting started downstairs and Erin had a second outfit she wanted to come out in. I loved helping her get into this second outfit and grabbing a few shots before these guys ran back into the party. Whether it’s sunset or a night photo, sneaking away to get something after all the stress has melted away is always so fun.

Love is love is love ❤️ ⠀ ⠀ Whoever you’

Love is love is love ❤️ ⠀

Whoever you’re marrying, wherever you’re marrying, know that I’ll be there for you 👋🏽⠀

Capturing a dad and daughter is such a sweet, tender moment. ⠀
⠀
I love having 2 photographers for this moment because:⠀
⠀
🌿 Two angles and viewpoints ⠀
⠀
🌿 Two unique ways to document your memories ⠀
⠀
🌿 Two pairs of eyes in case something is happening nearby (like a mom crying)

Keep calm and love who you want ❤️🧡💛💚
