Abby + Kilder | Glidden House Wedding

We were honored and nervous. As soon as we met Abby and Kilder, on their wedding day no less, we knew they’d made the right decision. We spent the entire day belly-laughing together. Their love is soft yet loud, colorful and layered. They tease each other and never stopped smiling. In the big crowd of people, they always found the other in touch or in glance. The magic that day was palpable. It was such an honor as usual to document this love story but it was an added layer of pride that we were chosen by such wonderful people.

Christine + Dan | Cleveland Cultural Garden Wedding

There is nothing better than a ceremony outside among the trees and the singing birds. After their sweet vows and some time loving on their people, we hit up the best of Cleveland for the sights and finished off the day at Windows on the River!
Christine + Dan have such a softness about them, a quiet and sweet love that spoke volumes without words. We loved spending the day with them, talking about our common interests and sharing laughs with their big group of fun friends! It was the best of days in Cleveland this summer!

Maddie + Chris | Destin, Florida Wedding

We had the best time and were so honored to be a part of this day for Maddie + Chris!
The Destin Bay House was this sweet little space, tucked into the moss trees on the bay. The only respite from the wild winds we had that day were on the other side of the great big windows over-looking the dance floor where almost every person spent most of the night! It was certainly a night to remember! The loving glances and wild dances that Chris and Maddie shared made the chilling wind an afterthought for most everyone around them! It was such an incredible sweet and thoughtful celebration.

Jackie + Nick | Downtown Cleveland Wedding

This was one of our favorite days of the year for photo making. This day was full of all the magical things we love to shoot. Jackie and Nick picked this rad location in Gordon Square, we wandered around with ample time to shoot a ton of portraits and they were so chill and relaxed. We grabbed a drink at Happy Dog with their crew before heading back out into the tucked away little green space we found behind some old buildings.

Courtney + Liz | Babeville, NY

Everything about Courtney, Liz and their small wedding resonated so deeply with us, I can't believe I'm just now getting around to sharing it here. We absolutely fell in love with these two at a wedding we photographed two years prior. The entire friend group and family involved in both weddings is the most magnetic, welcoming and energetic group...we joked with them throughout that we just wanted to keep photographing weddings within the family forever. 

Courtney and Liz planned for their super intimate, super emotional nuptials to be among a short list of friends and family in their favorite music venue where they often go to see their favorite artist perform. Babeville is a really unique space right in downtown Buffalo, we had a blast just wandering around exploring and documenting this whole day. Allison, the bride from the previous wedding we shot officiated the wedding and she's hysterical so that made the day even more memorable for everyone. 

The love expressed in the eyes and on the faces of these two beautiful women this entire day was the biggest joy to document. We absolutely loved to witness such a love and hope that these images will inspire you to experience life with even a shred of the harmony and grace that these two do. 

Destin Florida | Beach Family Session

October Mini Session | Madden Family

 

This little fam just makes my heart explode into a million little golden stars! We met by chance, I think it was a portrait session giveaway and Ashley was so excited about their photos that she basically booked us that day for their wedding but they weren’t even engaged yet! Ha! Fast forward a year or so and Ben and her had the sweetest elopement in their hometown on a Tuesday evening and we got to be there! Then about a year later they had Emmaline and came all the way to Magnolia for us to do their fall family photos! Ahh, we just had the best time wandering around in this golden oasis!

 

October Family Session | Rue Family

 

Every October we spend one weekend with a whole bunch of families, many of which we have photographed for years and years. The Rue fam is one of those. I’ve been photographing them nearly every year since Maddox, the oldest was born. Stacy and I used to work together and we’ve kept in touch for over 6 years since we stopped working in the restaurant biz. I just love this group so much, each year the kids personalities change and they sprout up like weeds. It’s so fun that they know who I am each time, since they don’t see me often in-between. We always have a blast with this wild bunch!

 

Katie + Matt | Cuyahoga Valley National Park Wedding

 

They pledged their love for each other by honoring the earth and the elements that led them to each other. They walked barefoot on the ledges and praised the wind, water and air, they included their friends and family spontaneously into the ceremony and sealed it all with one hell of a party! Matt and Katie had a truly unique wedding in their favorite place, with their favorite people. Best friends, through and through…their day was an inspiration to witness.
