Michelle & Chris’s Radnor Ohio wedding…


The Needham family…

This weekend was BUSY. Good busy.
Friday I drove up to Mount Vernon, Ohio for a shoot with the Burke and Wentworth families. He’s a couple quick previews from my time there…

(that’s a caterpillar on her head)
Saturday I was so excited to shoot Ana and Bob’s Worthington Hills Country Club wedding. It was gorgeous, and FRESH rocked out some incredibly floral design for them. Can’t wait to share the details!


I then made my way to New Buffalo Michigan to shoot the absolutely beautiful vineyard wedding for Frank and April. This one will also be awesome to share with you:)
Hair for this wedding done by my fave (and in-studio stylist), Leanna Murphey. She’s is THE BEST.


I’ve been quite excited to share the fabulously homemade wedding of my June 19 couple from Singapore. Sarah and David. Sarah, a Mount Vernon native, solicited the help from friends and family to pull together one of the most uniquely crafted weddings I’ve had the opportunity to shoot.
So, please close out everything in your browser tabs, except this. It’s gonna suck up some juice. Lots of super detailed, highly colorful wedding fun:) I couldn’t possibly post everything from this day. Not even half of it. It was entirely too much. So. Here’s my top top TOP favorites from David and Sarah’s homemade Mount Vernon, Ohio wedding!


After their first look, we headed to downtown Mount Vernon for some shots around the square.

And there happened to be a farmers market…


Sorry to jump to this so quick but I wanted to share a precious shot of Sarah and her sweet dad walking down the aisle. The chapel at MVNU is huge and beautiful and was the perfect place for this large gathering of close friends and family of the couple. They are deeply loved:)

This part of the ceremony special. They had a choir sing one of their favorite hymns during communion time. Goosebumps. They sounded amazing and the song was touching.
The stuff being thrown…origami cranes! Scroll down for a larger pic of the cranes.

Takin a stroll in the car shown below this…



These paper cranes were folded by friends and family. All 700 of them. And thrown at the bride and groom leaving the church as well as laid out during the reception!

Sarah’s friends Laura and Johanna plus a team of willing helpers created this amazing chandelier for the gazebo at the reception!









Dear EVERYONE. If you want a fun twist on family portraits, the photobooth is IT! THis was the best family portrait experience I have ever had with my couple. We did all their family shots this way. So fun!





EDIT: SORRY – I’VE BEEN TOLD IT’S TAKING FOREVER TO LOAD. HOPEFULLY THIS SIZE HELPS:)
I LOVED shooting this wedding as much as I think you’ll enjoy seeing it come together! This high-energy and heart-felt outdoor backyard wedding this fall still stands out in my mind as the most unique wedding I have had the privilege to be apart of …as a guest or photographer. I want to break this into two posts – you’ll definitely be seeing more from Carmen’s big day:)
These details so appropriately set up the beautiful wedding.
And can we PLEASE talk about that dress??? Radiant. Vibrant. Flow-y and completely gorgeous. When Carmen walked out of her house with those boots (a few photos up) and this gown, I’m pretty sure I squealed…loudly. You know how much I love bright and bold colors. I could not have picked something more perfect myself!!!



What happens when your best friend answers your question “what should I wear?” with “well, it’s a photograph-worthy event so be your usual fabulous self!” >? This colorful goodness.

This fashion combined with the energy from this group of ladies lead to an impromptu photo-fest. Just plain fun.




Bah. Pictures of me. Never wanted them. But at some point, something like a promo comes along and your lovely friend says they REALLY need your headshot. So, alas. My “headshot”. I.LOVE.THESE. No surprise because my super fantastic and ultra talented photographer was Amy w/ C Studios.
And since I really needed something on my About Me page…….

I couldn’t pick just one yet. It’ll happen. I’ll simplify
Oh and the blue, yellow, orange and slate…totally planned…the brand palatte! Everything but the pink.
…is very exciting!
First off, have you seen Murph in his new Scutte tee?

So. The September Email goes out on Friday. Don’t miss it! If you’re not on the list, you can sign up here. To see last month’s email, let me know and I’ll forward it to you.
Unlike last month, September and on will feature more content not shared on the blog. There will be special announcements and monthly offers for email recipients only. This email is for my past, current and soon-to-be clients only. Announcements and special events and promos JUST FOR YOU. I have maintained that exclusivity since I started the business and will continue to do so until it poses a problem. Might sound ridiculous and I’m sure if I put the info out there, or even advertised it would boost business…but this is how I have chosen to handle my business. It started with friends, value, relationship, referrals and fun.
And I want to keep it that way.
So on that note….to all the referring clients: Amazing. Thanks as always. I appreciate your excitement and sharing:) Hope you find value in the emails you receive each month, enough to pass on!
