Jenn & Brad are the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Their wedding exemplified that, full of adorable rustic decor, bright sunflowers, and plenty of entertainment for guests. They had a field for lawn games, giant Jenga, and even a bonfire at the end of the night (yes, with s'mores!).  

Tracy & Eddie had a small, intimate ceremony with just close friends and family on the rooftop of Hotel Monaco. To kick off the day I photographed a bit of getting ready, followed by an emotional first look between them. Then we explored the hotel and the city for some great portraits. 

One thing’s for sure when it comes to your wedding day—the moment you see your significant other for the first time, all dressed up for the occasion, is bound to be a memorable one. Some couples are choosing this moment to happen before they walk down the aisle, while others are sticking with the more traditional route and waiting until the ceremony to see each other. There’s no right or wrong choice, but if you’re on the fence, here are a few pros and cons to having one.

Casey and Fred got married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the White Barn. All their decor was rustic, ideal for their venue. Their puppy, dressed in a full tuxedo, completely stole the spotlight during their formal pictures. Keep scrolling to see why! How much adorable can be in one photo!?!

Nicole and Patrick had me tearing up only 30 minutes into photographing their getting ready. For their wedding video, they read out the letters they wrote to each other. When you listen to all that emotion, you can't help but feel connected to their love story.  

This couple always makes me smile.  Watching them celebrate their wedding day with friends and family was amazing. The ballroom was decorated impeccably with ivory, pinks, and many many cookies.  It was my first time working there, and they put on quite the event!  The party was hopping all night long! 

Tam & Randall got married on a rainy July afternoon in a quiet ceremony.  They were surrounded by friends and family.  It was intimate and beautiful.  After the ceremony, we focused on their family pictures, because a month before, we had already done their formal portraits!  The focus of the day was on the two of them and their families. I've been holding onto their pictures for a month, so now I get to share!

Gold, glitter, elegance - those three words perfectly describe Jourdan and Vincent's Heinz Chapel wedding. The reception at the Double Tree in Moon Twp was a dream.  The ballroom was exquisitely decorated and lit, providing the perfect setting for their day.  Watching them together, you could just see how much these two love each other.
