Snowy Winter Wedding

Emily had been crossing her fingers all morning for snow to fall on her wedding day. Sure enough, some light snow came trickling down as she was getting ready at the church. From then on it was like a fairytale with these huge beautiful flakes falling from the sky making it the first real snowfall of the year. It was amazing to see how excited Emily was, not just about the snow, but that this was the day she was going to marry her best friend. When the church doors opened all you could see were smiles from both of them as well as their family and friends celebrating with them that day. 

Everything was too perfect to put into works, so you'll have to check out the photos from their big day below! Thank you to Sam and Emily for letting me capture these special moments for you!

Their love story told by Emily...

"Sam and I met on a cold night in October at a bonfire a mutual friend was having. Sam was making s’mores and I accidentally stole his graham cracker which ended up sparking a conversation on the back of a pickup truck by the fire. We hung out a few times after that and then on a hiking trip he asked me out! We dated for a while and then he proposed to me on Lake Michigan on June 3rd, 2016."

Fall Wedding at Camp Mary Orton

I was so excited to finally head over to Camp Mary Orton for a wedding! We had a decent amount of rainfall the night before and we were all a little worried it would be muddy for all of the adventurous pictures we had planned. We were all up for the challenge anyway and brought our change of shoes to prepare. It did not turn out as muddy as we thought, so we spent a decent amount of time hiking through the woods taking some beautiful portraits. 

Regina and Anthony had their two adorable children in their wedding which made it even more special. Regina did her daughter's makeup while they were getting ready, and don't even get me started with their son's bow tie! They were too adorable, I couldn't even take it! This was one of my first weddings that really felt fall themed and I was loving every second of it. Fall is my favorite season so when I see these stunning bouquet arrangements and maroon color schemes I am in heaven! This wedding was absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to share some more of my favorites!

Classic Wedding at Amelita Mirolo Barn

It was a chilly and rainy morning and I knew many of Kelsey and Brennan's wedding plans would have to be adjusted throughout the day. Thankfully, we had reservations to take some indoor wedding photos at the Ohio State House. This worked out perfectly because we were still able to have their first look outside under the covered columns. It sure didn't look like a rainy day from those photos!

Even though we had plans to walk over to the Scioto Mile, we were able to take some fun bridal party and family photos inside the state house. This was my first time inside and it literally took my breath away! Staying all in one location also gave us plenty of time to take the photos we wanted and more! We were relaxed and had plenty of time to head over to the venue and get ready for the ceremony. The inside of Amelita Mirolo Barn was beautiful and still allowed plenty of light to come in! We made the best of this rainy day and I was so glad to spend it with these two!

Barn at Stratford | Columbus Barn Wedding

This beautiful venue will sneak up on you because it is tucked right into the streets of Delaware. When I pulled up to the venue, my jaw dropped at how gorgeous the setup was outside. A giant willow tree is always a photographer dream! Take peak at some of my favorite pictures below from Ann & Chris's wedding!

Old Blue Rooster Barn | Columbus Wedding

First off, I am in love with outdoor weddings and was extremely excited for Brady & Alicia's! This was my first time at the Old Blue Rooster Barn and I was looking forward to shooting somewhere new. I heard all of Alicia's decoration plans during our final meeting and couldn't wait to see how everything would turn out.

These two are such a fun couple and brought so many creative ideas to life. The girls had a shot ski, which I of course LOVED! They also had a glow stick send off, (how fun?!) and a Jenga guest book to sign. They were so much fun to work with and I am so thankful they chose me to capture their special day.
