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 || Le Reve Styled Shoot

Cringy image of me on my wedding day in 2010 and now I wish I would have had Le Reve Chateau!

I was so blessed to be invited to a bridal styled shoot by Hanna’s team at Le Reve Make Up & Hair to work with some amazing artists in our industry to bring to life this really beautiful vision!

Le Reve’s Chateau space is perfect for brides who need a space to get ready on their wedding day! The space is so spacious, bright, and really makes you feel good! I truly wish I would have had an option like this on my wedding day instead of my sitting on the floor in a youth group room at the church we got married at! For this styled shoot we used Le Reve’s Chateau located in Westerville, Ohio which also has amazing access to the pretty streets of Westerville that we used as well!

A few years ago, Hanna spoke about this space she wanted to create. I remember her speaking about how much she wanted to provide to not only her clients, but her team as well! She wanted a stunning place for people to feel good getting ready in! It fills my heart so full of joy to see her achieving all she sets her mind to!

Creatives will often put these shoots together by collaborating with each other to bring to life a certain vision. The flowers, hair, make up, dresses, venue, along with my photographs are all dreamed up and created by talented women in the Columbus area. It’s an honor to have gotten to photograph all the beautiful and hard work of the creatives mentioned below. I look forward to seeing their work more in the future!

Creatives who made this happen:
Host: Sophia & Hanna with Le Rêve Makeup & Hair
Venue: Le Rêve Chateau
Makeup & Hair: Le Rêve Makeup & Hair // Sheree @shereemua & Lindsay @hairbylindsaycole
Dresses: Gilded Social
Florals: Blooms By Jenna
Models: Natalie, Shelby, & Kasey

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!

Columbus, Ohio / Westerville, Ohio Family Photographer || Fall Family Portraits at Royal American Links

It was expected to be a day of bad weather but we luckily beat the rain and got to do their stunning fall portrait session! We were lucky enough to get to do with session on a beautiful golf course that still had so much color. Little Violet loved the leaves and exploring the outdoors. It’s always such an honor to watch little ones discover new things. In this case, Violet loved the leaves and pumpkins! I’m happy I got to meet these new faces and provide them with some pictures to look back on for years!

Columbus, Ohio / Delaware, Ohio Family Photographer || The Snyder Family

The last time I saw this family was when their little boy was just six months old! He’s grown so much but their family’s joy and love for each other has not changed! I really enjoyed how we let Jeremiah enjoy his exploring and captured how mom and dad play with him! So many smiles and laughs! It was everything!

Thank you Aysha and Brad for letting me photograph your family again. You all are always such a joy to be around!

Columbus, Ohio / Dublin Ohio Family Portrait Photographer || The Hartman Family

Every time I see this family, they bring me so much joy! We always capture some sweet, cuddled up shots and then let loose and get some silly, funny ones. (I’ve only featured one here because I like for them to see them first. Something about knowing they get the first laugh of their silly shots is important to me!!!)

Hartman family, you rock. I love seeing you, watching the kids grow, and getting to be apart of your shenanigans! You’re the best.

Columbus, Ohio / Westerville, Ohio Family Photographer || The Carpenter Family

AHH! I loved having the Carpenter family back in front of my camera! They added a new family member to their family too. Isn’t he adorable just like his brothers?! I was so happy to get to photograph every laugh, smile, and even the occasional spit up (haha!) during this session. And can we just give an applause to how amazing Taylor looks in her dress and hat?! I am so in love with her look. So stunning!

Carpenter Family, I have so much love for you and I loved seeing y’all again! Thank you for letting me photograph you as you all continue to grow as a family.

Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer || Joel + Liz's Fall Wedding Day

This wedding day was so full of emotion and smiles. I just could not wait to share it here on the blog! When it comes to my couples, I always wish for them a day like this. Every person in attendance at this wedding was fully willing to help Joel and Liz celebrate their love. It was incredible. So many helping hands, well wishers, huggers, and all other types of happy, loving people made this day possible for this couple.

Joel and Liz are fully present in their lives. You can see that every hug and every conversation meant so much to them. They appreciate every second of life and it’s truly is inspiring. I loved getting to watch Liz be escorted down the aisle by her brother as her dad waited with Joel at the alter. Liz’s dad married Joel and Liz and even included some props and dialogue from “The Princess Bride” that lead to SO MANY laughs.

The day was personal, tender, and genuine. I wish that for every couple. The photographs are proof that Joel and Liz are loved and I loved capturing that.

Columbus, Ohio / Dublin, Ohio Family Photographer || The Robinson Family at Ariel - Foundation Park

The Robinson family is amazing!!! Getting to hang out with all of them was SO MUCH FUN! The little ones apart of this session were so funny and good to me. They were so excited to get their pictures photographed and even asked for their own poses and ideas to be photographed! I really enjoyed that.

The family asked for this location because it was honoring a family member that worked on the creation of the park. I loved that sentimental piece of their portraits that they will have forever.

And props to the adults because all the outfits look incredible! When you have a group with lots of people involved, dressing everyone can be hard! I think everyone looks amazing and the colors are * chefs kiss *. Beautiful job!

To this family, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to photograph you. I think you all are wonderful and can see how much love you have for your family members. I am so happy I got to capture that in these photographs.

Upper Arlington, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer: Amelita Mirolo Barn - Seann & Darrah

You might remember these two from a while back when we got some amazing engagement portraits at 16 Bit and Bridge Park in Dublin! I loved getting to know them then and was eagerly awaiting their wedding day!

Sean and Darrah’s wedding was so beautiful because of all the love and emotions that filled the day. They were so focused on making the day full of meaningful moments that I just loved photographing all the smiles, happy tears, and more! Sean and Darrah are surrounded by a support system that people dream of. Their friends and family did nothing but love on them on their wedding day. It was just so wonderful to see!!!

I’m thankful I’ve gotten to get to know Sean and Darrah over this journey in their lives. It’s always a privilege to get to be apart of something so personal and special between two people!

Enjoy this preview of their wedding photos at Amelia Mirolo Barn in Upper Arlington. It’s a beautiful venue that I would suggest to anyone! If you’re interested in wedding photography with us, please me sure to contact us at envphotographyy.com/contact

Columbus, Ohio / Centerburg, Ohio Family & Senior Photographer || 2022 SENIOR: Lianna

Lianna has just started her senior year and although she skipped hoco, she is still enjoying other moments of her year like band and looking forward to Prom! I was IN LOVE with Lianna’s accessory choices during her session. I mean, peep the gummy bear necklace THEN she swapped to an ‘i hate you’ choker when she swtiched to her second outfit with the red top. I’m getting Olivia Rodrigo vibes!

Lianna is a natural born model and I know she had so much fun during her session and I had fun working with her and her family again!

Columbus Ohio / Westerville Ohio Family Photographer || Lacie - Lynd's Fruit Farm

Believe it or not, I had not photographed anyone, ever at a sunflower field before. I’ve been photographing people for 11 years and never once been before… crazy huh? Well it would only be appropriate that I photograph my own daughter when it’s the first time we visit a sunflower patch!

Many of you have watched the journey of our family over all these years. Lots of you have known of Lacie since before she was two! So I really feel like it’s special to share these images every once in a while. She’s grown so tall and is just BRILLIANT. She is so smart and, as anyone could guess by knowing who her mother is, she’s sassy too! Every year I try to take portraits of the kids so that we have this measurement of growth to look back on! So 2021’s portraits are done and they are the prettiest yet!

Delaware Ohio / Columbus Ohio Wedding & Engagement Photography: Darrah & Sean

It’s been quite a while since I have blogged but this engagement session is worth dusting off the cob webs for! Darrah and Sean are very VERY close to their wedding day! I am so happy we got to capture this engagement session. I asked them about their vision for their session and I loved everything they sent. I hope these images embody exactly what they pictured! I very much look forward to documenting all the events of their wedding day. They were telling me bits and pieces of their plans and I can’t wait to watch them experience a day to celebrate their union! It’s one of those things where you just have a good feeling that it’s going to be a great day!

I can’t wait to see them again on the day they become husband and wife! :)

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!
