Never in my life did I anticipate we would be living in such a strange time in history. So many different levels of weird are happening to everyone in the world right now. I mean... What a memorable time for a wedding! Some couples have chosen to reschedule, others have adjusted their ceremonies so they can still happen with an official wedding day later next year, or, like Karly and Rick, they went through and will be celebrating with a reception next April. What a well thought out celebration they had considering the circumstances. Not only are we mid-pandemic, but the forecast called for rain all day, and it didn't disappoint. They were married with a group of 9 (myself included) inside the church, while groups of family and close friends watched the live stream from the parking lot and comfort of their own quarantined cars. We absolutely made the most of the day, and Rick masterminded a surprise for Karly with a Precinct dinner in their dining room, decorated by family. Thank you again for including me for your celebration!!! See their day below!

My goodness, talk about a memorable client. I can still hear her infectious laugh at every glance of an image. Sophie contacted me only weeks before her wedding date frantic to find someone who would fit her and her fiance Lucas' wedding day. They had a quick ceremony planned, an hour for cake and formal photos, and then had the Hofbrauhaus scheduled for the entire group to come have dinner. Sophie is from the UK, and Lucas is from right here in Kentucky. The amazing wonder of the internet brought these two together, which in turn brought me into their lives too. The flights in to the US for their family and friends arriving from the UK were so stressful, I knew that these two really needed to be able to relax and enjoy what little time we had when their day arrived. They had more than enough stress already.
This was just a three hour day and yet it seems like we captured so much more than what three hours could offer. Their entire gallery will be ready shortly, but until then, you can relive the day below! 

Whitney and Andrew had a super unique kind of event. Low key, easy going, intimate and loving. The guest list was comprised of mostly family so we made sure to focus on getting everyone captured, and for the reception style event they were having it couldn't have been more perfect a day. From the perfectly shaded tree with screaming yellow leaves that was just so precisely autumn to grandpa serenading the entire crowd, it was how celebrations are meant to be. Full of love. Check it out what I mean below.

Favorite part of the day: "Speeches and beyond, especially the dances/dancing. Basically anything that involved our guests."

It feels like just a couple weeks ago Toria and I were sweating our asses off in Brazil, and between trying to catch photos of our coach sleeping, dying of dehydration, and giving side eyes to one another in a 15 passenger van while it drives directly into potholes, we somewhere discussed her new boyfriend. The one she was considering moving out of mom and dad's for. The one who put a dresser, specifically for her, in his closet so she would feel welcome at his apartment. Not everyone in her life was sold on this guy, but she was already pretty sure he was something different. That was December 2017.
Record scratch. Fast forward.
They did the thing. She moved in. He proposed. Now they're officially married. I am so glad that I was the one who got to capture this group of people. I knew a handful of them in advance, so the comfort level was pretty unbelievable. House Tyler, Tyler Two, and Tyler Three Streams... Oh my... Joy, laughter, love, friendship- exactly how a wedding should be. Enjoy your preview!

This year, we are doing fall minis a little differently. We are partnering with the West Chester Cooperative Nursery School and donating 50% of our profits from these sessions back to them! So, instead of offering just one date and one location, I'm opening up THREE dates. Two Sunday options, and a Wednesday Sunset option! So, what's included? Where are we going? What can you bring? Let's talk about it. 

We will be utilizing three very different locations this year. French Park, Sharon Woods, and Devou Park will be our beautiful landscape for out mini sessions.

I can't wait to see everyone this year! Thank you for your continued support! <3

Amy and Jeff have got to be some of the most relaxed clients I've ever worked with. Easy going, adaptable, flexible, all things you want for the day and the people involved. I captured their engagement photos last fall and how quickly their wedding day snuck up on us! I actually can't believe it's already been a few weeks since! Amy and Jeff got married at a brand new venue here in Cincinnati, St. John's in Harrison. After the ceremony, we exited through bubbles and made our way around town for photos. We took a stroll around downtown, headed to the top of the city, and finally landed at Longworth Hall for the reception. Check out the day for yourselves! 

Favorite part of the day: "Dancing with friends and fam."

The day finally happened! My sweet couple from Leicester finally declared their love for one another in front of close family in friends in a GORGEOUSLY transformed Muhlhauser Barn. Maria worked for weeks on her hand crafted flowers, and I am so in love with how they looked! What a unique celebrations for a unique couple. Ugh. This preview speaks for itself. See it below!

Chris and Carley have been on my calendar for so long, it felt like I was just part of the crew by the time I arrived on their wedding day. We had a spectacular time at the Cincinnati Nature Center last fall and had a magical engagement session together. Still to this day, one of the most memorable and beautifully lit sessions I've ever had. I knew their wedding day would be nothing short of the same. These two had a beautiful ceremony in Dry Ridge, Kentucky at a venue that is SO gorgeous, I'm shocked I didn't know about it sooner. Green jello shots for the entire bridal party, a gorgeous ceremony, tequila shots to start the reception, lots of laughter, lots of sweat (ALL from me), a 10 minute performance complete with costumes, dancing, singing, and some breathtaking scenery and florals. The most perfect of summer days.

Christin and Kevin came to me last fall. We had the most magical engagement session down in OTR. Christin insisted the whole time she was awkward in front of the camera. When they received their images back, I'm happy to report she realized she's NOT AT ALL awkward. Fast forward to May 11th, and it's finally the big day. An absolutely perfect day to get married at the Heatherwoode Golf Club. Overcast skies without any rain around, perfect temperature, and Christin arranged a surprise for Kevin that included their dog, Leia. Christin had insisted the dog not come every time Kevin asked, the day would be so much to juggle already and having the dog there would just be too much. A hard no in his mind. A first look to remember though- the anticipation of walking toward your future wife with your eyes closed, then you turn around and open your eyes to take in your bride, 10 seconds later your best friend busts around the hedge with the wiggliest butt you've ever seen. Talk about emotion overload. Talk about perfection. It set the tone for the entire day. The ceremony was flawless, dinner was delicious, the Cold Stone catering  was a spectacular hit, and the reception didn't dull for a second. I mean... the pictures really do speak for themselves. 

Favorite part of the day: "Laying on the golf course in our wedding attire after the ceremony and enjoying calling each other husband and wife for the first time."

Since the 7th grade, there are two things that were always associated with my friend Kacie: Princesses and the color pink. Throughout junior high and our first year of high school together, those things never changed. Our daily lives were filled with thousands of laughs, scheming, and ridiculous doodles galore. Flash forward to... oh my god... 18 YEARS LATER... and Kacie doesn't insist you refer to her as Princess anymore, but the color pink is still very much alive. No one in the world can pull the color like her. Well... Maybe her new husband James. Upon our final consult, I learned of James' magenta alligator kicks he was wearing for the big day. My word, did they not disappoint. Talk about stylish. Motorcycles, bubbles, and surprise rain clouds were all a part of their big day, and all of it was pretty perfect. Check out the highlights of their spectacular West Chester wedding below!
