I believe the most beautiful photographs come from a place of genuine connection. That’s why I’ve thoughtfully crafted an experience that goes far beyond simply showing up with a camera on your wedding day. When couples choose to work with me, they’re embarking on a journey that feels personal, intentional, and filled with care every step of the way.

First Hellos: Where Your Story Begins
Remember that flutter of excitement when you first got engaged? That’s exactly how I feel when I receive an inquiry from a couple whose values align so beautifully with my own. Our connection together begins with a warm conversation discussing the vision of your day, where we can truly get to know each other.
During this time, I love hearing about the little moments that make your love story unique – I love a good meet-cute story! We’ll talk about your vision for your wedding day, whether that’s an intimate celebration at a historic local venue or an elegant affair at a private estate. These conversations lay the foundation for the genuine connection that will allow me to capture your day in a way that feels authentically you.
Planning Together: Creating Your Perfect Day
Once we officially begin our journey together, the real magic starts to unfold. I believe in being more than just your photographer – I’m here as a trusted partner throughout your planning process. Having photographed beautiful celebrations at venues across Ohio and the East Coast, I bring a wealth of experience to help you create a day that feels both elegant and effortless.
We’ll work together to craft a timeline that gives your day room to breathe. I’ll share my favorite locations for capturing those golden hour portraits you’ve dreamed of, and guide you through choosing preparation spaces that will fill your getting-ready photos with beautiful natural light. Every detail is considered with both aesthetic and comfort in mind, ensuring you feel completely at ease in front and get to enjoy your day.
Your Wedding Day: Capturing Moments That Matter
When your wedding day arrives, you’ll find me as a calm, steady presence by your side. Having photographed celebrations for couples across the country, I understand the delicate balance of being there to capture every meaningful moment while never feeling intrusive.
I believe in creating space for genuine connection – those subtle glances between you and your partner, the warm embrace from your mother as she helps with your veil, the joyful tears in your father’s eyes as he sees you for the first time. These authentic moments are what make your wedding story uniquely yours, and I’m there to preserve them with both artistry and care.
Throughout the day, I’ll guide you with gentle prompts that bring out natural interactions and real emotion, never forced poses. Whether we’re creating classic portraits in the elegant architecture of your venue or catching candid moments during your reception, every image is crafted with intention and attention to detail.
After the Celebration: Beginning Your Legacy
The excitement doesn’t end when the music fades – in many ways, this is where another beautiful chapter begins. In the days following your celebration, I’ll share a carefully curated selection of preview images, allowing you to relive those precious moments while your joy is still fresh.
As I begin the process of editing your complete gallery, every image receives the same meticulous attention to detail that defines my signature classic style. Your photographs are thoughtfully edited to stand the test of time, favoring the true-to-life colors and timeless moments.
One of my greatest joys is helping couples create their first family heirloom – their wedding album. Together, we’ll curate a collection of photographs that tell your complete story, from morning preparations to your evening celebration. These albums are crafted with the finest materials, designed to be passed down through generations as a testament to where your family legacy began.

My approach to wedding photography is rooted in the belief that your images should do more than just show what your day looked like – they should remind you exactly how it felt. Through genuine connection, thoughtful guidance, and unwavering attention to detail, I help my couples create photographs that will be treasured for generations to come.
If this approach resonates with you, if you value photography that feels both timeless and genuinely connected, I would be honored to learn more about your vision for your wedding day. Let’s start a conversation about creating beautiful memories together.
