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.

Hey y’all! So… I typically post previews of families the evening or morning after a portrait session. I LOVE this family and I was so happy to see them again. As soon as their session began, I could feel a migraine coming on- this humid Ohio weather has been really messing with me. I made it through their portrait session just fine, especially with all the laughter! Although both of my parents are introverts, somehow I managed to be an extrovert and this family gave me energy! On the drive home though, I could feel my head getting heavier and my vision starting to go. By the time I walked into my living room, the tv screen my husband was watching was a complete blur. Andrew turned off all the lights, I took some medicine and went straight to bed and completely forgot to post a sneak of this amazing family. So today I reserved a special spot on the blog for them!

Wednesdays are normally for weddings (it’s the most viewed post of the week lol!), but not today! This sweet family is crashing Wedding Wednesday and I couldn’t be happier to share their smiling faces!

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 !)!

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!

Baileigh and Nick | Married | Summer Backyard DIY Boho Wedding →

August 1, 2018 Story Told Photography

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.

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!

September & James | Married →

July 18, 2018 Story Told Photography

Happy Wedding Wednesday! I’ve missed a couple of weeks because I have been busy shooting this summer, but now it’s time to catch up on sharing all the pretty weddings!

I was so excited to shoot September and James’ wedding. These two compliment each other so well, and they are beyond sweet and quite hilarious! They are absolutely adorable and seriously so much fun to photograph! September set aside a good amount of time for portraits at the Park of Roses after their ceremony, and I am so thankful for that because we didn’t have to rush and were able to get so many portraits! I love all the purple prettiness September chose from the bridesmaid dresses to the pops of color in her bouquet!

Happy Independence Day! It's Wedding Wednesday as well and I am so happy to be sharing Lainey & Matias' wedding! Going into this day, I already knew it would be beyond perfect because Lainey & Matias are two of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. I was so excited to see their wedding day planning all come together on their big day! Lainey loved purple and I love how she incorporated this so beautifully into her wedding day.

Hannah & Matt | Ohio State University Sunrise Engagement Session | Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer →

June 27, 2018 Story Told Photography

Wedding Wednesday! Today I am sharing Hannah and Matt’s engagement session with you! Oh my goodness, this world can be so crazy small sometimes. I had known of Hannah from the ice rink- she went to Ohio State and skated there, where I had directed some shows! We were facebook friends but had never really met. Here’s the crazy part: Remember Lainey & Matias? I shot their wedding a couple of weeks ago and they will be on the blog next week! Hannah is Matias’ cousin and contacted me after seeing their engagement photos!

I was finally able to formally meet Hannah and Matt at Lainey and Matias’ wedding. Hannah is going to law school out of state right now and Matt is also out of the state working. These two both attended Ohio State for their undergrad and that’s where it all began!
