Photographing a marriage proposal is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing the genuine joy & surprise. Hearing the story of how they met and all the planning that went into keeping everything a secret is just so fun. When Zach reached out asking me if I would photograph him proposing to Emily, I was so excited to help.

I am so excited to share a recent engagement session I photographed at The Honey Farm in Dayton, Ohio. Kenzi & Brandon will be getting married there in 2022 and so they had the unique opportunity to take their engagement photos at their wedding venue. If you have the opportunity to do that, it’s a really great chance to walk around with the photographer ahead of the big day and take some photos. It gives you a great idea of how things will look on your wedding day, and you can figure out what you love most before the actual wedding rolls around.

I am so excited to share a photos from the recent bridal showcase at The Marmalade Lily. All the vendors came together to show their beautiful work and the result was stunning. There were so many amazing Cincinnati area wedding vendors. Shear hotness even styled hair & makeup live at the event.

Sunday evening, Samantha & Charles tied the knot in front of their family and friends at the Estate at Sunset Farm. This venue is unique in that you can have your ceremony in so many different locations around the property. Samantha and Charles chose to have their wedding ceremony in the shade of tall trees, with the late afternoon light streaming through the branches. The effect was pure magic.

This past weekend was absolutely stunning. On Saturday, Sara & Martin tied the knot in front of their closest family and friends at The Mercantile Library in Cincinnati, and seriously- This venue is literally the type of place I dream about. We even took some portraits on a spiral staircase that leads to a room filled with rare old books. The Mercantile Library is one of the best and most unique places to get married in Cincinnati, and I am a huge fan.

This past weekend was so beautiful. Sunday morning, Kristin and Rob tied the knot at their brunch wedding. What better wedding venue for a brunch wedding in June than The Marmalade Lily, where you are surrounded by fields of beautiful blooming flowers. It truly has the perfect vibe for an outdoor wedding.

This past weekend was amazing. I photographed three back to back weddings, and it all kicked off for me with celebrating Polly & Tyler’s Columbus wedding at Strongwater Food & Spirits. Even though the forecast warned that we would experience some really nasty weather, the rain held off pretty much the entire day, and we were able to do photos with the bridal party in all the fun spots they had picked out. Wedding photos in downtown Columbus are probably my favorite thing ever. I love Columbus- it’s so nice downtown and there are tons of great spots to take photos.

Last night, the city of Montgomery, Ohio welcomed a brand new bridal boutique to their downtown area. Montgomery Bridal is a gorgeous bridal gown dress shop that focuses on excellent client experience. They truly want their brides to enjoy the process of finding the perfect wedding gown, and put a huge effort into making every dress shopping appointment a magical one.

Every wedding day is different, but at this Dayton wedding, something happened that I have never seen before. I have been photographing weddings for quite a while, but this was definitely a first. Here’s the scoop. Nichole & Kyle got married on the same day as Nichole’s grandparents. They wanted to celebrate that they share the same special wedding anniversary day, so they surprised her grandparents with a cake of their own during the reception. It was such a sweet moment.
