Summer Sunset Engagement Session at Scioto Audubon | Emily & Damien | Columbus, Ohio Engagement and Wedding Photographer →

September 12, 2018 Story Told Photography

Happy Wedding Wednesday!! I’m sharing an engagement session with you guys today. As soon as I got Emily’s email, I was so excited for this couple. Emily and Damien are both from Lancaster, so I knew they would be my kind of Fairfield County people!

Emily and Damien met while they were attending high school at Fischer Catholic High School in Lancaster. They both went to school at Miami University and last Thanksgiving, Damien proposed! He planned for his family to go out to their backyard to take a family photo, but really the plan was to propose! Emily was so surprised! He even had Emily's whole family hiding on the side of the house so that they could watch too. Emily had no idea until she said she heard them clapping and cheering behind her! Isn't that so sweet and amazing?!

Burgundy and Navy Outdoor Summer Wedding at Pinnacle Golf Club | Allyson & Frank | Married | Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer →

September 5, 2018 Story Told Photography

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Today I am sharing Allyson & Frank’s Pinnacle Golf Club wedding photos. The navy, burgundy, and blush details of their day are so swoon-worthy! I love this Ohio Northern University love story!

Both the ceremony and the reception were at Pinnacle and it was so convenient because we didn’t need to travel between venues, which meant more time for photos! It was threatening rain on and off all afternoon, but it held off for photos and the cloud coverage gave us the most beautiful even light! If you remember their engagement photos, we worked with the rain then too despite the dark clouds and decided to go with it anyways!

Jimmy | Upper Arlington High School Senior | Columbus, Ohio Senior Portrait Photographer →

August 17, 2018 Story Told Photography

Happy FriYAY! Last post of the week for portraits then it’s on to weddings until October! I shot Jimmy’s senior portraits Monday evening at Sunny 95 Park in Upper Arlington. It is crazy how fast time goes by. I met Jimmy when he was just starting high school and now he’s already graduating!

I knew this session was going to be fun because Jimmy is a CHARACTER. We know the Stravidis family from church and they are such an incredible family. I shot Jimmy's sister Maria's senior photos too! My husband coached basketball so we got to know Jimmy a bit more through GOYA. GOYA is Greek Orthodox Youth Association, and, yeah, they play basketball. You may think it’s all fun and games, but find yourself at a GOYA tournament and you’ll quickly realize it’s very serious. Desite all the times Jimmy messed with Andrew at basketball practice and during tournaments, I have to say he really is an all-around wonderful kid.

Family Photos at Scioto Audubon | Columbus, Ohio Family Portrait Photographer →

August 13, 2018 Story Told Photography

Good Monday morning everybody! It is always such an honor when clients return for more photos, especially my couples! When Megan reached out to me about family photos, I was so excited! I always say it’s one thing to impress the bride, but it’s another to impress the family! So, when Megan’s whole family was up for portraits, I was so happy because I know that means that they loved the images from Megan and Aaron’s wedding too!

I shot Megan and Aaron’s wedding last summer and their engagement photos the year before! I absolutely love the relationships that I have with my clients. God has seriously blessed me by introducing me to some incredible families through this business. These family photos include Megan’s immediate family, with her parents and brothers and sister who I remember well from their wedding day, along with her sister’s sweet new baby girl, and her aunt and uncles and their beautiful children, and even her adorable grandparents (seriously, they are a d o r a b l e !)!

Sheila and Kevin | Married | Outdoor Classic Red and Blue Wedding at So Serene | Wapakoneta, Ohio Wedding Photographer →

August 8, 2018 Story Told Photography

Wedding Wednesday. The best day of the week. And today's wedding is so special for me to share because it is my sweet friend's! When Sheila asked me to be her and Kevin's wedding photographer, I seriously had tears. It was such an honor for me to be there on there big day.

Sheila and Kevin were glowing with JOY on this hot hot hot Sunday in mid-July. They married at So Serene in Wapakoneta. This venue is so beautiful. You feel like you're in a different state once you're at the venue, but the drive in and drive out are all cornfields! It's almost comical, but it was a dream to shoot at this venue!

Molly & Chris | Married | A Blush and Navy Summer Wedding at The Pinnacle in Grove City →

July 25, 2018 Story Told Photography

Happy Wedding Wednesday once again! I am so happy to be sharing Molly and Chris' big day with you all. So many special moments went into this day and I am sharing my favorites below!

Molly began her day with her bridesmaids getting ready at her parents' home. Chis and the guys got ready at the church. This was my first time shooting at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Grove City. This church is beautiful! There were so many special moments throughout the day. Molly's dress reveal with her maids and her dad nearly had me in tears. She is just gorgeous! Molly and Chris exchanged gifts and letters before their ceremony, they held hands, but did not see one another. I loved watching Chris' grin as he watched Molly walk down the aisle!

Sheila & Kevin | Engaged | Classic Olde Pickerington & Sycamore Park Sunset Session | Pickerington, Ohio Wedding Photographer →

June 20, 2018 Story Told Photography

Wedding Wednesday is here again and this time I am sharing Kevin & Sheila's engagement session! We had planned to do these photos downtown one evening, but it rained, so we rescheduled to a Sunday, and my sweet friends were willing to drive out to Pickerington for their photos! I am SO glad they did! We had the most beautiful evening with the most incredible light. Kevin was so totally not about doing the engagement photos, which makes me laugh so much looking at him smiling so big at his gorgeous finance!

Kevin & Sheila began working on the same exact day at The Ohio House of Representatives four years ago. Isn't that crazy?? They ended up spending a lot of time together through their work and enjoyed each others friendship, but deep down they both knew there was more. Last year, they decided to give the dating thing a shot. I loved seeing Sheila so happy. The boy I knew as the nice guy with the cool socks was turning out to be the one my sweet friend had been waiting for. Early this spring, Kevin took Sheila back to the place where it all began. He took her on a tour of the Statehouse cupola (which is super duper cool if you love history). He proposed up there and they signed their names on the wall to mark the spot where they were engaged!

May 30, 2018 Story Told Photography

Good morning! Today I am sharing Molly & Chris' engagement session. These two are getting married in less than two months! I am so excited to be headed back to The Pinnacle in Grove City for their big day!

Molly & Chris met at a concert. Molly's friend had told her about one of the guys that would be at the concert: Chris. I asked if this was like a blind date for them, but Chris said he didn't know that Molly would be there. No matter, because obviously these two hit it off and were were meant to be!

Tanijah | South High School Senior | Schiller Park Senior Session | Columbus, Ohio Senior Portrait Photographer →

May 21, 2018 Story Told Photography

Good morning! I'm so excited to share Tanijah's senior portraits on the blog today. I had so much fun photographing this gorgeous and intelligent young lady.

I've said it before, but seniors are my favorite to photograph. I love learning about their dreams and their goals on how to achieve them. Photographing Tanijah was no different, and was even more special.

At first Tanijah seemed a little shy, but I quickly learned she has an incredible personality! I loved learning about her plans for the future. She told me she plans on attending Bowling Green in the fall and studying social work. When I asked her if anyone had inspired her, she smiled and said, "myself." And I instantly loved her.

Madison | 2018 Senior | Ohio University | Athens and Southeast Ohio Photographer →

May 11, 2018 Story Told Photography

Finally Friday! Last weekend, Ohio University graduated the Class of 2018! I headed down to Athens to meet one of these graduates, Madison! Instead of worrying about getting photos exactly where she wanted to take them on the day of graduation with thousands of other graduates and their family and friends, Madison had me come down the week of graduation for a fun shoot with her fiancé, parents, and fellow graduating gal pals.

Once I navigated OU’s impossible parking situation hahaha – Guys, I suck at figuring out parking on college campuses. Makes me feel extra old - I was so excited to see Madison and her family and friends looks so fabulous and ready for photos!

I only do one college senior session a year, and I really feel like these should become more of a thing! I actually wish I had done them! I met my very best friend in college (we are inseparable!) and those four years were so much fun. Why not commemorate that time with a fun photo shoot on campus??
