Leo + Zaneta - Married!

First of all, thanks so much to both halves of this adorable couple for choosing me to shoot your big day and trusting me to cover your traditional Macedonian ceremony and reception. It was certainly a day and night full of energy and love! It's always fun shooting new and different types of events. This was my first Macedonian wedding and I hope it's not my last! Zaneta had the most gorgeous dress too. So, without further ado...

Jill + Brian

" In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged."

I absolutely love this quote. Jill and Brian used this on the beautifully designed luggage tag place cards they handmade for each of their guests. This wedding in their mutual tiny hometown of Coldwater, Ohio (where Brian first discovered he had a crush on Jill back in middle school) was every bit a labor of love. Jill, a clothing designer by profession, and her mom literally transformed their town's local American Legion hall into one of the most beautiful and elegantly designed reception spaces I've ever seen (and I've been to a LOT of weddings!) I don't think there was a single detail overlooked. From the table settings, to the wall draperies, lighting, chandelier and bar decor, it was fabulous.





What's even more fabulous was the fact that Jill wore her grandmother's wedding gown — with a few alterations that her mother was able to do. Talk about 3 generations of teamwork! jill definitely pulled off the vintage look perfectly.










And what's even more fabulous than anything else are Jill and Brian in general. I couldn't have asked for more laid back, fun, gracious and stunning people than these two. Thanks again so much for hiring me and trusting me with your big day! I hope that you love your sneak peek - I know I sure do!





The church was incredible.



This couple definitely has cuddling and nuzzling down pat - was almost hard to get a bad shot! So cute.

Lisa + Tim's Wedding - Sneak Peek!

Congrats to the newly wedded Tim and Lisa Kelso! I'm soo very excited to post images from this wedding! So many gorgeous shots to share. Lisa has such great taste in style and decor. The whole wedding from the bridal gown, to the flowers, cake and vintage Cadillac was so timelessly classic. Is "timelessly" even a word? Well, I think you know what I'm trying to say! Thanks so much for hiring me and trusting me with your big day. What a beautiful day it was.

Suzanne + Kenny...more sneak peeks!

Brieanne & Justin - Downhome chic!

Congrats to the newly wedded Brieanne and Justin McKinniss! I am so very excited to post these pics today. There are sooo many images yet to go through, but I was most excited about all things related to the style and mood of the whole day.



This adorable couple got hitched at the original Bob Evan's Farm down in Gallipolis, Ohio. There was not a single detail overlooked at this classy yet casual affair. Justin (yes, the groom!) actually designed and made the invitations, programs and hand-painted signs himself. I must say I was impressed! The bar at the reception was the cutest one I've ever seen at a wedding. Martha would be proud.





This venue isn't one that is ordinarily available to the general public unfortunately. Justin's father has worked for Bob Evan's for over 30 years — which allowed for this fabulous and unique event location.
