Brianne + Franco | The Lake Club Poland Ohio | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

08.20.15

Glitz. Glam. Class. This wedding was all of that. I loved all the sparkly details from Brianne’s dress to the gorgeous centerpieces at the reception. The black and white with a little red was so divine!

The weather this month has been amazing and this wedding’s day did not disappoint. The Lake Club was beautiful, full of color, and sunny!

Brianne and Franco are an amazing couple. Their chemistry is contagious and I thoroughly enjoyed photographing them. Always gotta laugh when Franco’s lips are bright red from smoochin’ on his wife 😉

You may remember their stunning engagement session (that was featured on The Black Tie Bride, I might add) – click here! After spending that cold morning with them, I was super pumped for their wedding photos. So gorgeous!

PS. Those flower girl dresses are ADORABLE!
PPS. My second shooter Carrie did an awesome job with the groomsmen shots. They were all about posing for the camera! She had a fun morning!

The Old Courthouse | Cleveland Ohio Wedding Photographer

08.14.15

Their wedding day was so perfect!!! Awesome weather in an awesome city! It was so fun to see classmates from Riverside as well as former coaches and teachers. The reception was held at The Old Courthouse in downtown Cleveland. It was gorgeous! I fell in love with all of the details and majestic archways.

Jena + Matt have been together for many years. We grew up together in the same town at the same school. Since 5th grade actually. Which is crazy to think about and sometimes it makes me feel old. I was really looking forward to their wedding after a fun day at OSU for their engagement pictures.

A few more highlights from the day: We had a couple of fantastic purse holders to help the girls out during their picture time and we visited a unique spot to capture the Cleveland skyline.

I love the shot of all of the gals in their robes – so classy! Matt’s face while Jena is walking towards him is priceless and I’m so excited I captured it. To end the night, everybody invited me to jump in a group shot of Riverside grads. Such a fun party!

Geralyn + Tom | Avalon Resort and Spa Warren Ohio | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

08.12.15

What a fantastic day this was! I had a blast all day and received lots of hugs from Ger and Tom’s families. It felt like I had known them my whole life!

I’m so excited to share a few favorites from their wedding. We had a fun group to hang out with and photograph all day! The Avalon Resort and Spa was gorgeous and it ended with a perfect sunset. I witnessed one of the sweetest father daughter dances ever!! It was a tear-jerker!

Caitlyn + Phil | Pittsburgh PNC Park Engagement Shoot | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

08.05.15

It is always so nice to switch it up and do a session that you don’t normally do. I don’t have many opportunities to do an urban style photoshoot mostly because I’m not super close to a big city. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are pretty close but not close enough to visit a lot. Caitlyn + Phil wanted to do their engagement session in downtown Pittsburgh. We met up while a Pirates game was playing down at PNC Park. They shut down the Clemente bridge (one of the yellow ones) so there was plenty of time for us to get creative on the bridge. The light was perfect and their smiles shone so easily 🙂

These two are one of my October 2016 couples and I’m definitely looking forward to their big day!

Nathan + Kelsey | Drake’s Landing | Old North Church | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

06.23.15

Ah this day. The weather was more than perfect and the day was so fun. Nathan and Kels are good friends and I was honored to be there. My husband Scott was a groomsman which makes it more fun for me…how can I embarass him all day?!

Their ceremony was at Old North Church, where Nathan and I work and the reception was at Drake’s Landing. It is so beautiful there and it makes me miss Lake Erie! There are a lot of goofy pictures from the guys. They were a fun group. The girls were so chill and relaxed, it was definitely a nice morning to hang out with them! I loveeee Kelsey’s dress! It is so perfect and soooo for Kelsey! AH!

So glad I could be a part of their day in a special way. Blessed to call you both friends! XO

Garrison Turns One! | Miller Family | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

06.18.15

Garrison – the cutest little man ever!

I have photographed the Miller family a few times and every time I love it. Kalia loves it when I come over and we are bffs for the day. I was so excited to be there and capture Garrison turning one! After a few family pics, we watched Garrison enjoy a slice of birthday cake. Cute kid. You can view his newborn session here.

I walked through a bunch of poison ivy while trying to find the perfect spot in the woods. It was worth it! Luckily I didn’t develop any itchy bumps! We used a lot of baby wipes haha! Hopefully Bj didn’t either. He mentioned AFTER we walked through all of it that he is highly allergic. Oh dear.

I’m in love with Garrison’s eyes. They are breathtaking! And the shots of Kalia with her beautiful momma?? Ahhh!
