Lauren + Kevin
Outdoor Reception Wedding
Lauren + Kevin were married under the palms and celebrated under the stars. Beneath the night sky, basking in the warm glow of bistro lights, heartfelt toasts were accompanied by authentic smiles, bursts of laughter, and moments of deep significance. The warmth and intimacy of dinner gave way to an epic unending dance floor!
Knowing Lauren + Kevin means experiencing their affection for the people closest to them, which is second only to their love for one another. People-first.
Every wedding takes a team, this one was one of the best!

Flannery + Pat - Downtown Engagement
Columbus, Ohio
Connection. Do you feel it?
The two of them, talking, giggling, touching. Seated in the front of the bar they've been going to since they once lived in the neighborhood. Sharing memories and enjoying each other's company, sipping on familiar drinks they could've ordered for each other without question.
It's these moments, these stories, that we capture with our little photographic boxes. The physics of a camera system can be complicated, but they way photos make us feel is not. The way an image passes through a series of glass elements and makes an impression on a physical surface mirrors the way that same image passes through our minds and makes an impression on our soul. This emotional connection to photography is what keeps us going. This emotional connection with our work is what we look for in new clients. It's the fuel for what we do.

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.
Kaitlin + Eric // Columbus Engagement Photography
Hello from the Outer Banks in North Carolina! We're having a blast, and can't wait to share some of our photos from our trip! In the mean time we've got another great engagement session for you! This has to go down as one of our most favorite engagement sessions ever. Not necessarily because Kaitlin + Eric are more awesome than our other couples (seriously, we love all of you), but because we got to shoot something new. Something we've never photographed before. And it was the weekend of the fourth of July. And they fed us. And we love food... like a lot.
Kaitlin set up a session at a friend's house where she wanted some photos of her and Eric cooking together. They love to cook together, so it seemed fitting. Their friends have a beautiful house just outside of Columbus, and after our little chocolate chip cookie and chopped fruit and vegetable session (which was admittedly inspired by The Sprouted Kitchen), we had the privilige of sticking around and having a huge meal with both of their families. Everything was just ridiculously delicious, and we had a blast getting to know their families and friends.
We want to say a huge thank you to Kaitlin + Eric for having us come crash their Independence Day party with their families, and most definitely for the delicious food and great company.
Check out these shots, and try to tell me you're not craving some cookies. (Also, I wrote this post before vacation, so no, I'm not working on vacation... yet)
