Oh my goodness. I have so many wonderful things to say about this incredible couple. My favorite thing about them is that Deanna and Sean have hearts on fire for Jesus, and for each other! They are so sweet, so generous, just absolutely amazing people that I am so happy to now call my friends and not just my clients! I am so honored they chose me to photograph their wedding day.
Last year, Deanna and Sean were anxiously awaiting their wedding day. Sean is originally from Alaska and Deanna is from here in Ohio, but they met in college down in Florida! I cannot tell you how excited I was for this day to finally arrive for them!
Instead of doing a first look, Deanna and Sean decided to exchange letters before their ceremony, to hold hands, but not see each other. The emotions of this moment said everything that was written in those letters. The intense love these two have was incredible to witness.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! It's February, how did that happen?? Amanda and Matt’s outdoor summer wedding was so much fun! We started the day in downtown Columbus at The Renaissance hotel where everyone was getting ready. It is such a beautiful hotel! Now, I am a shorty, and I knew Amanda and Matt were tall, but I didn’t realize I was going to be walking into a room basically full of super models… Amanda and her maids were so gorgeous!
After her mom and sisters helped Amanda into her dress, we headed over to The Pinnacle in Grove City for the ceremony. I met Amanda and Matt’s super adorable dog Bailey during their engagement photos and y’all know how much I love the furchildren! Amanda and Matt are as obsessed with their furchild as I am with mine, so they made her a flower girl!!

I’m sharing another beautiful spring wedding today! I’m getting ya hyped for spring, okay? Love and Lavender actually featured Emily and Chris’ wedding on their blog last year! Check it out here.
Do you remember these two?? I shot their engagement session in the fall of 2016 in my hometown! Remember that tulle skirt of Emily’s?? If you don’t, click here to see how pretty it all was!
As soon as I arrived at Emily’s room at the DoubleTree Downtown, I knew they day would be full of nothing but joy. She was radiant. Everyone was so sweet, so kind. As I was prepping to shoot Emily’s pretty details (swooning over all the soft lavender), her mom introduced herself to me and said, “After reading your blog, I knew Emily had chosen the right photographer. You clearly have a passion for this. I saw it in every person you photographed.” Holy moly, Mama Bright! I’ll never forget that moment. It meant so much to have someone who had never met me before see this simply be reading my words and looking through the portraits I take. My heart was so full and it was the greatest reminder of why I love photography so much. Thank you for that.

Helloooo! I haven't blogged a wedding in FOREVER. I'm so excited to share one with you today from last spring! Jasmine and Steven met back in high school while working at a grocery store. They dated for a few years, but when Steven joined the military, life took them in separate directions. It was certainly fate that brought these two back together again down the road. Steven's eyes actually sparkle when he looks at Jasmine. They are deeply, madly in love with each other.
Jasmine and Steven were married at Columbia Hills Golf Club in Columbia Station, Ohio. Jasmine was stunning. Right when Steven saw her walking down the aisle in her WattersWToo gown, he lost it... Jasmine and Steven exchanged their own hand-written vows and had everyone attending in tears by the end of their beautiful ceremony as well. Although it rained, we were able to find breaks in the sky to venture out on the golf course for portraits. Jasmine's style is earthy and natural, and I loved all of the greens she used throughout her day, from her table displays to the succulents she and Steven gave away as guest favors.

Happy NEW YEAR! It is 2018 you guys. That is absolutely insane. This year, it is my resolution to make it to church more and spend more time with the people I love! Building my business the past few years kept me from taking time for myself and my family, but I'm feeling good about balancing everything this year!
Today I am sharing Anthony and Ashley's Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony. I shot this beautiful ceremony last Spring. I wanted to share this ceremony with you because if you are unfamiliar with the Orthodox faith and you attend a wedding, you may have no idea what is going on. Why are there crowns? Why do they drink from a cup? I've taken the below from our church website.

The first blog post of 2017 is here! Kyrstin and Joe are officially newlyweds! Do you remember them? I loved shooting their engagement photos at Everal Barn and in Uptown Westerville! I loved getting to know these two over the past year. After being set up on a blind date, it wasn't long before these two knew they would spend forever together. Joe proposed in the midst of a snowball fight - so romantic!!
