Caroline + Brian

Caroline + Brian planned stylish, modern wedding in the heart of Cincinnati. It was a day full of laughter and love with the closest of family and friends. These two are classy and fiery, kind and generous. When you find the bride + groom on the dance floor with their friends before the evening has even kicked off, you know it’s going to be one heck of a party. It's hard to not want to immediately join the celebration when with them!

Throughout the planning process we could tell Caroline + Brian had a big vision for their day, to keep it classy, simple, and full of celebration and with the help of Stephanie from Cincy Event Planning, it was pulled off better than they hoped. We will never get over how the light bounces throughout a city, it was perfection for their day!

Every wedding takes a team,
this one of the best we’ve ever worked with!

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.

Kate + Nick

We've got something super fun to share with you today. We recently had the absolute pleasure of capturing a playful engagement session in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. And let us tell you, it was one for the books!

We had the honor of working with this adorable couple who wanted their engagement photos to reflect their love for adventure and their local neighborhood. And what better way to do that than by hopping on some bicycles and exploring the charming streets of Brooklyn together?

From the moment we started the shoot, we could feel the nostalgic and romantic vibes in the air. We kicked things off by getting some shots of Kate + Nick playfully riding their bikes through the bustling streets. The joy on their faces was infectious, and it really set the tone for the whole session.

We then ventured into their neighborhood, wandering through quaint little streets lined with brownstone houses and colorful murals. It was like stepping back in time, and we couldn't help but capture the couple stealing sweet glances at each other against this idyllic backdrop. The love between them was truly evident in every single frame.

But it wasn't just the beautiful location that made this session so special. It was the genuine connection and chemistry between Kate + Nick that made our job an absolute delight. They laughed, twirled, and even stole a few kisses along the way, creating these incredibly natural and intimate moments that I was lucky enough to capture.

As we wrapped up the session, we couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment and happiness wash over us. Being able to document this couple's love story in such an iconic setting was truly a dream. It reminded us why we fell in love with photography in the first place - to capture genuine moments of joy, love, and connection.

"The Brauns have an eye for beauty that artists can only hope to develop. They captured our day for the beautiful moments it was, always working with what was in front of them, drawing the extraordinary from what others might overlook. When the schedule ran behind, they stayed past the agreed time to make sure they photographed our first dances.

They sent us a handful of edited photos the night of our wedding, while we were still at the reception (!!!). The Brauns worked hard to make sure our wedding would be remembered in the golden, heavenly way we felt it was (and isn't that what every newlywed wants?)."

Kristy + Seth

Honestly, it's hard to even know where to begin. We have been patiently waiting to photograph our first elopement for a while now, but there's no way we could've expected it to be quite like this. Just five of us (Seth's best friend Nathan was our officiant/translator/captain/tour guide), traveling across the world to see and experience a country so rich with history and lined with a coast seeming chiseled out of pure romance. Vicenza. Venice. Cinque Terre. Portovenere. Four destinations, each with it's own character and charm. A wedding ceremony on the tip of a peninsula, stretching into the Mediterranean Sea. To use the word epic would be an understatement. This is Kristy + Seth's story. 

(We're so excited to share our very first wedding film, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end and see this magic in moving photographs.)
