Cincinnati Engagement Session | Kim & Greg
They were kind enough to invite me down to their place in Cincinnati for engagement photos. I’m kind of obsessed with the locations they picked. Can we just move Ault Park to Pittsburgh? Because that would be nice. Sunrise there was absolutely unreal.

Guys, guess what - my little sister is engaged! That’s pretty awesome.

We also did a mini sunset session, because you all know night shots are kind of my jam.
Faith & Brad | A Happy Days Lodge Wedding
I first met Faith & Brad when I photographed their proposal back in May (click here to see the pictures!). They are such a wonderful couple, and a joy to photograph, so I was thrilled when they reached out about photographing their wedding!

Warm and cozy were the words that sprung to mind when I saw the venue for the first time. They had a fire going in the reception space, evergreen decor, and candles everywhere. It was perfect for a winter wedding. The bridal party braved the snow and the cold for pictures (luckily it had warmed up from -5 to 20 degrees!), while guests enjoyed a hot cocoa bar. Then everyone partied the night away.

Deena & Adam | White Palace at Wheeling Park Wedding
Deena & Adam | White Palace at Wheeling Park Wedding
Deena & Adam have been together since college at Ohio State University. They started planning the wedding right after the proposal, and you can tell there was a lot of effort put into it! Some of you may remember their engagement session last year, which featured a handmade dress and save-the-date sign. I knew then that the wedding would be DIY heaven, and I was right!
Deena, who sells her own hand-lettered art, created a ballroom straight out of Beauty and the Beast, complete with gilded framed accents, gold wine bottle candle holders, and so much more. However, the best part was how much laughter and love filled the ballroom. Adam & Deena were a joy to photograph.
Also, at the end of the night, ducks may have invaded our night-time photos. And chased us around for a bit. So make sure you scroll all the way to the end to check those shots out!

The Laning Family | An Extended Family Session | Chagrin Falls Ohio
My husband and I met Aaron when we went to college together at Kent State. They have been very close ever since. Unfortunately, we live about two hours away from each other, so we don't get to hang out too often. Since they had their lovely daughter, we've seen them less than we'd like. That's why I jumped on the chance to travel out their way for a family session with not only them, but their extended family as well!
We met early in the morning up at Chagrin Falls in Ohio to capture their session. We took a couple great family pictures, then let the kids have fun at the park to get some great candids as well. It was a great day.
Thanks for reading!
