Jordan + Mikala | Transept OTR Wedding Photographer

When Mikala and Jordan met with me for the first time they told me natural, candid photos and TONS of details were so important to them. HELLO DREAM CLIENTS! Not only are they adorable and madly in love with each other but they are also madly in love with Jesus and met in youth group. They are both artists (music & design) and were totally up for anything. Let me just say, when you trust your photographer with your timeline and with location, and you are given a stinking perfect day… your photos are going to be INCREDIBLE!

You guys are the best, Congratulations!

Josiah + Bethany | Pyramid Hill Ohio Photographer

The hardest part about this blog post was coming up with the right words to display how special these two are to me. I shared a little bit on their engagement post but here we go…

Bethany is a beautiful, smart, talented, creative and determined woman. She loves Jesus with all her heart and has done some incredible things for Him already at the age of 20. Ever since she was a very little girl, she has been an amazing giver. She started buying our whole (large) family Christmas gifts with her own money when she was in elementary school. She travelled for 9 months with The World Race to tell others about Jesus. And she has worked tirelessly for the last year volunteering with a women’s ministry in Cincinnati while running a coffee shop that donated funds to help women in sex trafficking. What I’m trying to say is, she is beautiful inside and out. She’s one of the most selfless people I know. I look up to her. She inspires me to be more like Jesus.

Josiah is funny, kind, so intelligent and a deep feeler. He has a passion for Christ that is so beautiful and bold. He stops in the grocery to share the Gospel with anyone who will listen. Josiah leans on Christ to be his strength when things are hard. He works hard and loves people deeply. He also has a heart for missions and has gone to many countries to spread tell people about the love of Jesus.

Together, these two are going to be unstoppable. I can honestly say I can’t begin to image how they are going to change the world. I love you both so much!

Joseph + Sarah | Cincinnati Zoo Wedding Photographer

This. Wedding.

It was incredible! I was SO excited when Joseph + Sarah contacted me and told me they were getting married at The Cincinnati Zoo! WHAAAATTTT? The zoo staff was incredible! The planner, Mollie Luken was organized and every single person I came in contact with was kind and so helpful. Can we also just side note: the food was so beautiful and delicious! YUM! They also brought out animals during cocktail hour, how cool is that?

Now, lets talk about the bride and groom. Sarah made me laugh all day long (see the reception photo of her using Joseph’s arm as a guitar.. like that). And Joseph is a perfect match for her, he is calm and down to earth. This day was absolutely perfect and so much stinking fun. Congratulations, you two, thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day.

Cody + Patty | Kentucky Wedding Photographer | Riverside Gardens

I met Patty nearly a year ago at Cody’s brother’s wedding (how cute are Jake + Becca). Of course I noticed she was wearing an engagement ring and was disappointed to find out she already had a wedding photographer booked. Not only because she is absolutely stunning but because she was SO sweet and thoughtful. She wasn’t in Becca’s wedding party but stepped in and helped fix the bride’s hair and just be helpful in any way possible. I adored her from the day I met Patty, as I’m sure many people do.

Fast forward a few months later and I get a message from Patty about her photographer going out of town for her wedding date… we were both SO EXCITED I was still available! Since I already knew Cody + Patty (and Cody’s family) from last year’s wedding, I knew it was going to be a fun day and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Check out those reception photos at the end! THAT is how you party hard.

Tyler + Ashley | Rhinegeist Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

WARNING: OVER-BLOGGING IN PROGRESS

Yeaahhhhh, I tried really hard to narrow this down to fewer images but it’s SO HARD when you have a day as beautiful as this one. When my husband and I were youth pastors Ashley was in our youth group. Ashley was one of the only kids we were privileged to have in the youth group for all 6 years. She has always been hilarious, hard-working, and caring. I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding & my husband to officiate. (heyyy hottie husband).

We love you guys so much! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your day.

Jack + Kayla | Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

This wedding was absolutely stunning! The Cathedral in Covington is seriously the most beautiful church I’ve been in. Those stained glass windows! WOW!!! Also, I should tell you that Anderson Pavilion is an amazing venue with some of the best food I’ve ever been served at a wedding. Their staff is so incredibly helpful and kind.

Ok, back to Jack + Kayla. It’s so fun to see the way they love each other. They’re silly, fun, and basically adorable. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day, everything was perfect.

Ryan + Beth | Jamaica Wedding Photographer

Ryan + Beth renewed their vows in Jamaica and celebrated 10 years of marriage. Couples Resorts was so great to work with and did a beautiful job setting up the ceremony and a little reception for the 4 of us. Ryan + Beth asked us to stand next to the during the ceremony so all of these shots were right after. As I said last week, I didn’t expect to cry but I totally teared up (and Ryan called me out on it) during their vows. They’ve faced quite a few difficulties in the last 10 years and it has been such and encouragement to me to see them walk through it all with grace and trust in God. I love you both so much!
