I made it a goal to get a photo of myself WITH each of my sweet brides and grooms at their weddings this year and managed to do almost every single wedding (just missing Kimberly Patrick, was seriously SO bummed when I left and totally forgot… we’ll get one soon! :)) I treasure these photos so much and want to share them with you all today!

These are my 2018 wedding couples that believe in me and support me and my business, and I seriously could not be more grateful… and I truly mean that! There are not enough words to describe how GRATEFUL I am for all of them. I know it’s a little sappy, but I’m pretty sentimental so it’s fitting, haha. I love them all to bits and pieces because they’ve played a HUGE part in my business and where it is today. Without them, I wouldn’t have a business that has grown beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve had the honor of celebrating with each of them one one of the BIGGEST days of their lives. Photographing their beautiful memories with lots of smiles, happy tears, and emotion. All of the little details they spent so long preparing for their day. What an HONOR.

I truly believe that God brought each of these couples into my life and business to serve them on their wedding day! I love having the ability to love on them and serve them through a really unique way, during such a special time of their lives. It’s something I don’t take for granted and I will never forget getting to celebrate with all of these beautiful faces on their wedding days! Thanks to all of my sweet couples for an amazing 2018 wedding season, you all are what made it such an AMAZING year!

First is Megan and Brent, they were married at the McGowan Loft at Copious in downtown Columbus!! I loved how unique their wedding was and how we did a lot of their portraits IN THEIR APARTMENT. It was truly BEAUTIFUL!! I mean, look at her dress. Just gorgeous.

Next is Katee and Andrew! They had a GORGEOUS zoo wedding and I loved all their beautiful colors. Katee did such a good job picking them out and coordinating everything, their laid back personalities were the best!

Ahh Kristi and Harrison!!! They were married at Houston Station in Nashville, Tennessee. SO MUCH LOVE for these two! I will always remember their wedding as being so beautiful because it was all centered around Christ, which was so special to be a part of!

Brandi and Chris had a beautiful intimate wedding at the Kelton House, a gorgeous mansion in Columbus. These two were nothing but sweet and amazing to work with, they were so upbeat and all I remember is how much JOY they had the entire day!!

Emily and Steven got married at Everal Barn in Westerville, Ohio! They also had a beautiful Christ centered ceremony that I’ll always remember. These two have the sweetest personalities and I also LOVED how they had donuts + brunch food at their wedding. THE BEST.

Brittany and Tyler! I loved these two!! Tyler’s personality was so fun and Brittany has the sweetest spirit, they are such a wonderful couple! I loved getting to serve them at their wedding at the Manor House in Mason, Ohio. Their friends and family were SO fun to celebrate with as well!

Kelly and Justin are THE BEST. Seriously. They have been nothing but amazing to get to know and had the SWEETEST wedding. The love they have for each other is so evident and I love how they use that to spread joy to those around them! Such an HONOR to serve them!!

JJ and Jacob! They had their ceremony at St. Agatha church and their reception at Little Turtle Golf Club. Let me tell you, they were such a WONDERFUL couple. I loved all of our emails back and forth and getting to know them as friends. They even surprised me with a present at THEIR wedding… if that’s not a giving heart, I don’t know what is! SO SWEET.

Aww Jen and Brandon!! These two are THE BEST. They were my first wedding of 2018 and it was SUCH a great wedding at Brookshire. Jen was such a beautiful bride and I LOVED her sense of style. I have loved keeping in touch with them and it was such a JOY to serve them!! :)

Courtney and Brandon had a beautiful wedding day at Crago Farms! You might remember them with the cute Aussie at their engagement session, I LOVE how they are also dog lovers!! Their wedding was SO FUN and I especially loved their reception. Everyone was so upbeat and such a joy to work with!!

The bride on the left below is actually my friend Brittney! Her and Josh were married in June and it was SO awesome to get to serve two of my friends that Michael and I had known for awhile. It might have been a hot day but you would never know looking back at the photos… and they had the BEST ceremony with foot washing! :)

The ride on the right is my sweet bride Stace! Her and her husband Chris were married at the Golf Club of Dublin. We had a little bit of rain at the beginning but that didn’t stop us from doing their first look + all the portraits! You would never know looking back and they had an absolutely GORGEOUS wedding.

Raegen is actually my cousin so this wedding was SO fun!! She married Alex at Nazareth Hall in Toledo, Ohio. I knew a lot of family at this wedding and was even in one of the family photos! Raegen is one of THE most upbeat people you’ll ever meet so their whole day was just SO FUN. And getting to celebrate with people you’ve known your whole life is the BEST!!!

Shea and Dan are SO SWEET and amazing!! Shea is also a photographer so it was SUCH an honor to be chosen to shoot her wedding in Toledo. Seriously, this girl is TALENTED and I couldn’t believe it when she reached out to me!! Her southern inspired style with all the neutrals was a photographers DREAM. Love these two!!!

Sarah and Robert were married at the Club at Corazon in Dublin, Ohio, one of my FAVORITE venues!! Seriously, these two were nothing short of filled to the brim with JOY. So many giggles and laughter throughout their whole day, they were SO FUN to work with! I had only met them the DAY before their wedding but left their wedding feeling like old friends.

Last but certainly not least is Kimberly and Patrick! We completely forgot to grab a photo at their gorgeous wedding at the Estate at New Albany but we will get one eventually! :) It made me SO sad when I left and totally forgot!! These two were SO SWEET, they are both so laid back and had the most beautiful wedding day filled with beautiful details. They had PERFECT weather for an outdoor ceremony and a MAGICAL (surprise!) sunset at the very end! <3 Much love for these two!!!

Thank you to ALL of these couples for an amazing 2018 wedding season. I truly mean it when I say I am GRATEFUL. You are supporting my dreams and that fills my heart with so much JOY!!! Much love to all of you!
