Columbus, Ohio / Dublin, Ohio Wedding + Engagement Photographer || Megan & Nick's Snowy Couple Session

While they aren’t engaged, Megan and Nick joined me for some snowy portraits and these two were awesome to photograph. I really enjoyed getting to meet them and photograph them. Despite it being cold, they were having fun and took every opportunity to cuddle up to each other! I think these snowy portraits among the pine trees are so cute and definitely showcase an Ohio winter. I love that Fatima did Megan’s make up giving her an extra pop of pink to her eyes and she was just GLOWING! Fatima is amazing to work with!

ENV's Year in Review: (Some) Favorite Wedding Moments of 2021

What a year this has been for me, as I am sure you’ve felt the same way. Its funny how, as the cold sets in and the Christmas trees are constructed and then taken down how we always use this week as reflection. It’s a mile marker in life where we take out our pens, put them to paper and really look at our lives.

Luckily, I get to look at all the things I’ve done through the moments I have spent with you. As many of you know, I was on partial hiatus until September of this year. I didn’t know what to expect when I announced my return to full time but I just hoped that I would be able to continue what my heart has so deeply always wanted, just to be an artist.

So to celebrate YOU and this year for us, together, I wanted to share with you just SOME of my favorite wedding moments. I hope you smile at these shots and enjoy my recollection of these moments.

All the Effort

Dustin and his mom surprised everyone with a fun mother-son dance. While these are WILDLY popular, it was their effort that made it ABSOLUTELY memorable!

Venue: Weatherington Woods Wedding and Event Venue In Zanesville Ohio

Fit for a Princess Bride….

Liz & Joel’s wedding day was FULL of sweet, personal moments but if you didn’t experience the ceremony first hand, you MISSED OUT! Liz’s father officiated and made sure to include props along with quoting The Princess Bride. Everyone’s sides hurt by the end of the ceremony AND it was perfectly tailored to who Joel and Liz are as a couple. So so funny!

Work From Wedding?

Sean knew his team would be having a work meeting at a certain time and after his first look with his now wife, Darrah, he logged in to say hello to them. He introduced her to the team and no doubt wanted to show off their dapper looks! His team was so excited to get a glimpse into his wedding day! I loved hearing all their excitement!

Venue: Amelita Mirolo Barn in Upper Arlington Ohio

Crowd Pleaser

One of our favorite DJs, Tony at Hitman Entertainment, had the couple join in on a fun dance of just them, Sarah invited her grandma in to dance and then Grandma, Sarah and Chase got EVERYONE dancing, high fiving, and cheering on the bride and groom. I LIVE FOR fun moments like these. They are having the TIME of their lives.

Venue: Mohican Gardens Conservatory

A+ on the Assignment

This ring bearer was a little rockstar. He understood the assignment and did it with PERFECTION! You wouldn’t believe how hard I laughed when I turned to get Dustin’s expression of seeing his bride but was distracted by this little guy HAMMING IT UP for me to take a photo of him. (Don’t worry, I go the shot of Dustin too!)

Venue: Weatherington Woods in Zanesville Ohio

Final Pages

I adored this moment of Sarah and Chase. This was the last dance of the evening before they departed and they headed into tomorrow. This is a visual of the last pages of this ‘Wedding’ chapter in their lives. From the moment a couple gets engaged, through the planning, engagement session, bridal shower, and then the big day…. these are the final moments of being in that ‘wedding’ chapter before they moved into that ‘Mr & Mrs.’ chapter. Sometimes couples spend 2-3 years of their lives in this season and then it suddenly ends. This captures those final minutes in this chapter for them.

Venue: Mohican Gardens Conservatory

Sparks of a Different Kind

So instead of doing a sparkler send off, Liz & Joel made their sparklers an activity rather than an exit (which I LOVE!) Not only did choosing to have sparkler fun give guests a break from dancing, it gave me a moment to capture candids like this. It was so fun to watch even the eldest of adults to the youngest of children play so wild and free with the sparklers. Just magical.

Columbus, Ohio / Westerville, Ohio Wedding & Engagement Photographer || Tory & Ben

I am absolutely in LOVE with this session. I just had so much fun with Tory and Ben as we captured so much of their love for each other. I mean, this session is just magical and I have not gotten sick of looking at it as I’ve been editing it! This waterfall can be really hard to navigate at time if there are unfavorable conditions like rain and ice. We were just so blessed to get to have really amazing conditions that kept us safe, made the waterfall look full, and the weather was still nice for the session!!!

I loved getting to meet Tory and Ben’s puppy too! She was such a cute part of this session. Her mom and dad love her so much that she undoubtedly HAD to be included. I love having dogs in sessions!

Tory and Ben, thank you so much for letting me capture this time in your lives. I loved photographing your engagement portraits and I hope you love them!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer || Lifepoint: Kayla + Tony

I keep hearing people say ‘Things don’t look like they used to…’ and in the wedding industry, I hear them keep saying, ‘Weddings aren’t going to be what they used to be….’

But they are completely wrong. COVID has drawn focus to the important things in life.

When it comes to this wedding day, I see exactly what I would expect to see and everything I would wish for a couple dedicating their life to one another. I see two people getting ready, reminiscing on their journey and how they got to this point… how they are so excited for today, but more excited for the next day, and the day after that, their future.

Kayla and Tony’s wedding day was full of love. It was calm. It was full of life, happy tears, loving words and Christ. It was perfection. It was a day focused on two people who are looking forward to forever… and I couldn’t have been more happy to capture these moments for them.

VENDORS WHO MADE THIS DAY HAPPEN: William’s Flowers || LifePoint Church || 8 Sisters Bakery || Universe Bridal and Prom

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Engagement Photographer || Lauren + Dylan

When I visited Lauren and Dylan, I was expecting fields. Yes, I was expecting barns…. I was even expecting cows. BUT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE PUPPY! Gah! Little Max is the sweetest boy. He was constantly laying at my feet and wanting the pets. I loved it! Lauren and Dylan have this sweet little family with their puppy and are planning their wedding! We now have engagement pictures checked off the list and now are looking forward to the big day!!! I can not wait!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer || Irongate Equestrian Center: Alex + Paige

Alex and Paige are so sweet both individually and together. Their wedding day was not only their marriage, but the joining of a family with little William included. Jon and I loved getting to watch this couple enjoy their day. Their friends and family showered them will love and smiles. It was incredible to watch! If you don’t know them, you need to know their love for cats which just perfectly enough, Irongate’s resident cat decided to join us during some portraits which was just a bonus to a great day!

My favorite image out of all of these is when little William walked into my shot, not knowing what he was going to see happening in the stall. William quickly shielded his eyes, giving me the perfect shot and a good laugh!

Here are some people who helped make their day possible:
Irongate Equestrian Center
House of Youth - Madison Sanese
Josh Staley Productions - Cameron
Catering by Scott
Botanica
Chelsey Schott

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer || Black Run Farms: Mr + Mrs King

After an entire day of constant rainfall pushed their ceremony inside, Schyler + Toshia’s wedding day was all happiness, fun and games!

I adore Toshia’s bright personality and her stunning, classic gown. She was totally calm and collected while we all worked together to still do everything we wanted to do that the rain tried to ruin but didn’t. So many of Schyler and Toshia’s family and friends were so over the moon happy for them. They also enjoyed all the amazing desserts and fun games that this couple played during their reception. Cash dash, newlywed game AND of course cake went flying around cake cutting time.

I hope you all enjoy some of the images I’ve put together for a small preview of Schyler and Toshia’s wedding day at Black Run Farms!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Portrait Photographer || The Ladies of LIFT [The Loft]

Friends, meet Ramey, Hayden and Morgann. Three brilliant, strong, resilient boss ladies who are, in my opinion, some of the most educated and talented hair and make up artists there are in central Ohio. If you don’t know them, you should. They have a loft in the Columbus, Ohio / Polaris Mall area but also service clients for hair and make up on location.

I met Ramey through one of my clients. I was on the journey for a hair stylist who could battle my red tint to my hair when I wanted it lightened and I could really get along with. I invest a lot in my hair and it’s one of my ‘self care’ treats when I get my hair done. When I go to a stylist, I need to feel cared for. No, not babied. I just need a friend who I can talk to and get along with in addition to trusting with my hair! Ramey was that person. We instantly clicked and later on I met Morgann (and Layken!) and then Hayden. These ladies are so passionate. They truly care. They believe in honesty, inner and outer beauty and truly truly care for each person they serve. They are very much like me but in the cosmetology field.

I am thankful to have these ladies in my life. I’m even more thankful they entrusted me with these portraits. I know and love a lot of people in the beauty field yet they are the very first ones to ask me to photograph their salon/team for them. It really means a lot to me and is a check off my bucket list! I know these ladies have some really amazing additions and ventures coming to their business. They are smart and I know they have tons of room to grow even from where they are now! I’m lucky to know them <3

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Photographer || Mikaela + Brad

Mikaela and Brad have an incredible story. They have been together since they were sixteen! Now Mikaela is completing her nursing degree and Brad is traveling, training, and pursuing his dream of baseball in the major leagues. They made this session so easy on me. They, at times, have a long distance relationship and Brad had just flown in for his engagement session so when I said ‘Go ahead and kiss’ it’s not like I had to force them hahaha

These two are sweet and so easy to talk to. I can’t wait to work with them even more and photograph their wedding day! Ugh, total cuties! I can’t wait to see them dressed up on their wedding day!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer || Daniel + Rachel

Rachel was so worried about the weather on her wedding day. Our iPhones kept reporting rain all day but the weatherman lied and we are SO happy he did! I even suggested Rachel take a few jumps on the bed to get her nervous energy out and she looked fabulous doing so! 

I'm so happy for you, Daniel + Rach. Happy honeymooning and pet a flamingo for me! <3

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer || The Pickwick Place: Blade + Taylor

God favored this couple on Saturday! For an ENTIRE week, the forecast showed that Saturday would give us 80% chance of thunderstorms. We were sweating it a bit... with clear umbrellas purchased and an ever-changing timeline to accommodate whatever the sky may do, we were ready. But what really happened is not a crack of thunder or strike of lightning graced the sky. Instead we got a little sunshine and even a rainbow during the portraits we did during a break in the reception!

Oh and how could we NOT mention Opie! Taylor and Blade's dog stole my heart! He is the best behaved pupper EVER!!!!
