Kathryn + George

As we sit here, thumbing through the memories captured on this day, we are overwhelmed by the depth of emotions that were present on Kathryn + George's wedding day. It was a day filled with love, faith, and a wholehearted commitment to each other and to God. The journey of capturing love stories through our lens has been a deeply personal one for us. Each wedding we have had the privilege to document has allowed us to witness the beautiful connections that form between two souls, and the way they navigate the world together.

Kathryn + George's wedding day was no exception. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that their love extended far beyond themselves. Their high reverence for God, their faith, and their marriage was palpable in every interaction, every prayer, and every exchange of vows. The intimacy of their backyard reception was a beautiful culmination of a day that was beyond perfect. The warm sunlight filtering through the trees, the laughter of loved ones, and the delicate details that adorned every corner created an atmosphere of nostalgia and comfort.

But what truly stood out to us was Kathryn + George's unwavering presence in every moment. They were not merely going through the motions of their wedding day, but rather taking the time to fully experience each and every joyous moment. It was as if they were actively soaking in every second, imprinting it onto their hearts forever.

Michigan, with it's breathtaking landscapes and charming backdrop, provided the perfect setting for this celebration of love. And as we captured their genuine smiles and the gut-felt laughter that echoed through the air, we couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for being able to witness such pure, unadulterated happiness. Kathryn + George's wedding day was a testament to their faith, to their commitment to each other, and to the importance they place on family. It was an event where friends were embraced as members of the family, where good food was shared and enjoyed, and where love and laughter were abundant.

As we reflect on our own personal journey and growth as photographers, we find ourselves humbled by the privilege of being able to document such moments. It is an honor to capture raw, genuine emotions that will be cherished for generations to come. And it is through these experiences that we have come to understand the power of storytelling and the significance of personal details.

To Kathryn + George, we say thank you. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your love story, for reminding us of the beauty that lies in faith and family, and for inspiring us to continue capturing these invaluable moments with all the love and passion in our hearts. As we remember their day and look to the weddings to come, we can only hope to witness and capture more love stories that are as heartfelt and genuine as this one.

Anne Marie + Connor // Columbus Ohio Backyard Wedding

These two. So laid back, so fun, and so friendly. There's just something really special about a casual outdoor wedding, and even better when it's held at the property of the bride's grandparents. The style and sophistication here is impeccable, and yet Anne Marie and Connor both had such a relaxed approach to their wedding, which we really loved. I mean, come on, food trucks are the best catering idea EVER. There were a few hiccups that they took in stride (like Connor not having his tie for the first look, which ended up happening at the edge of the driveway), never taking things too seriously or getting stressed. At the end of the day, it was just such a genuine celebration of who they are and the relationship that they share.

Louisa + Patrick // Adventure Engagement // Anchorage, Alaska

How do you follow up a destination wedding in Mexico? How about a trip to Alaska! When Louisa + Patrick first contacted us about their upcoming wedding in Cincinnati, we couldn't help but notice that they live in Alaska. After talking with them, we all agreed that the only way we could truly tell their story is if we photographed them in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
