My last wedding of 2017 was amazing! Oh, I love these two!
Susan and Michael were married at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, our home church! Oh my goodness, we had the most wonderful snowfall and I’m so glad Susan and Michael and their bridal party agreed to jump out for some quick photos in the snow.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Last summer, I received a call from a bride inquiring about photography for her wedding she was planning for the fall. She had the most adorable accent and was so sweet! I only had one weekend off and I was planning on going to the Circleville Pumpkin show with my best friend – I haven’t been in forever! As Mo kept telling me about her plans, I knew that I really wanted to be her wedding photographer. Mo continued to tell me that the wedding had been pushed up because her father had ALS and she wanted him there to take her down the aisle, of course. The pumpkin show could absolutely wait until next year. I had to meet these incredible people.
Get this! Mo and Armando met while training horses for cutting. Armando recently decided to turn pro and compete as an Open Trainer after winning the NCHA Non Pro Triple Crown and 2016 Non Pro Horse of the Year on a horse named Watch Me Whip! How cool is that?!

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.

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.
