WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
YOUR STORY, BEAUTIFULLY REMEMBERED.
For couples who want photographs that feel honest, effortless and entirely their own.
WEDDINGS • COLUMBUS, OHIO & BEYOND
THE DAY AS IT FELT
Your wedding day is made up of more than the big moments.
It’s the deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your dad seeing you for the first time. Your grandmother’s hands. The way your partner looks at you when no one else is watching. The people who traveled to celebrate you.
Those are the moments I want you to remember.
I’ll guide you when you need direction, step back when the moment deserves space, and create photographs that bring you right back to how it felt to be there.
THE APPROACH
GENTLE DIRECTION.
REAL MOMENTS.
I don’t believe you have to choose between beautiful photographs and photographs that feel like you.
I’ll give you enough direction to feel confident without turning your wedding day into a photoshoot. The rest is about paying attention—to the light, the movement, the people you love and all the little things happening in between.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING.
Every wedding is different, but a few questions tend to come up again and again. Here’s a little more about how I work.
-
I’m based in Columbus, Ohio and photograph weddings throughout Ohio and beyond. Travel is always welcome—if you’re planning a wedding somewhere outside Columbus, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
-
Most couples reach out 12-18 months before their wedding date, especially for popular dates and seasons. That said, I’m always happy to check availability for your date, no matter how soon your wedding is.
-
Absolutely. While Columbus is home, I’m available for weddings throughout Ohio and beyond. If your celebration is somewhere new, let’s talk about it.
-
You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll give you gentle direction when you need it and let the natural moments unfold when you don’t. My goal is from your photographs to feel like you—not like you’re performing for the camera.
-
That depends on the story you want to tell. We’ll talk through your plans, timeline and priorities together so we can choose coverage that makes sense for your day rather than simply choosing a number of hours.
-
I’ll personally review your inquiry and be in touch with next steps. From there, we’ll have a chance to connect, talk through your plans and make sure we’re a great fit before you make any decisions.
-
Yes. Engagement sessions are a wonderful way for us to get comfortable together before your wedding day, while creating photographs that celebrate this season of your relationship.
