Once upon a time, two dads secretly plotted to have their kids meet, and see what came of it (haha!)… BUT it all came to fruition on this absolutely beautiful wedding day! Kelly and Tyler’s wedding was exquisite in every way. Their happiness was contagious all throughout the day!

If you know Rob and Alyssa, you know that these two actually got married on Saturday!! Since Rob is in the Navy, we didn’t have the opportunity to do engagement photos until last week though, but we got them done! Guys, I LOVE these two!
Rob and Alyssa met three years ago while interning at The Ohio House of Representatives. A friendship soon turned into an incredible love story. Rob joined the Navy after graduating from college but that did not keep these two apart! Last Christmas, Rob had planned to propose at Park of Roses with all the stringy lights up, but the lights didn’t go up last year, so he and Alyssa went to Easton, where they took a romantic walk through the lights and when they got to the big Christmas tree, Rob got down on one knee!

Wedding Wednesday! My favorite because I get to share so much pretty with you! A few weeks ago, I was able to photograph the backyard wedding of my friend’s little sister, who is very obviously not at all a little girl anymore!
I met Baileigh when she was twelve years old. I spent many college summer days over at my friend Bethany’s house and her family soon became like a second family to me. When Baileigh told me she was getting married, I broke out in HIVES y’all, like some kind of crazy.

Sooo… It’s spring and it’s still cold. When Charissa told me she wanted summery photos, in the winter, I was like… uhmmm, girl…. It’s winter… But, challenge accepted! Charissa had her heart set on Franklin Park Conservatory and I am so glad she wanted to go here because, voila! We got summer photos in the winter. Last Friday, we arrived 45 minutes before FPC closed and so we got in and got out and it was incredible! Super thankful for this wonderful little treasure of a place right here in Columbus. AND, Charissa and Dan are basically models. They took direction so easily and sometimes I didn’t even have to cue their poses. They are actually just naturally this cute together.

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.

I have been very busy! This year was phenomenal and I’m so grateful for all the work I’ve been given. I’m ready to show it off! For now, I want to share with you a styled shoot I did with Dalay Ket Event Design last spring- yes, 2016. Borrowed and Blue published this shoot this year! My goal was to have one of my shoots published this year. I have since had two other shoots published!

Deanna reached out to me last year while finishing up school in Pensacola! I didn't even know this was a place until Deanna. (Don't judge- I don't get out of Ohio much!) I had a tremendously long day and was an entire hour late for our first phone call. Deanna was literally the kindest and most understanding person ever about it. Still, I was certain there was no way she would hire me after my ridiculous tardiness! I am so thankful she still did because she is hands down one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I am so excited for her and Sean's Ohio Statehouse wedding this summer!
