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.

Molly + Nick // New Philadelphia Wedding (Part I)

I'm so excited to about the new changes to our website and to be sharing on the blog with you all! You'll be seeing a lot more of me around here.  I'm also pumped to be sharing Molly + Nick's wedding with you. It turned out to be the perfect day. It's been insanely hot here in Ohio but this weekend it was perfect and rain free! We even had a chance to go out during dinner and take some beautiful sunset photos. Molly + Nick are a couple anyone could fall in love with. They are full of so much love for each other, their family and friends (which they have a ton!), and Jesus. They are the perfect example of why we love building relationships with our clients that will last past their wedding. When we truly connect with a couple it shows, they are more comfortable throughout the day, and the result is the ability to capture beautiful, natural photos. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day, Cameron and I are excited to be calling you guys friends and neighbors!

One of my favorite parts of the day is bonding with the girls while they get all pretty. I love getting to know all the bridesmaids and learning why they are so special to the bride. Ashley is one of those college friends you have for life. Cassie is a beautiful person inside and out. Annie is a sweet childhood friend. Morgan and Ali can bust out some amazing songs spur-of-the-moment. Katie, Molly's sister and maid of honor, was referred to as Pippa all day, and she fulfilled that roll well. Calli had a cute southern accent. There was laughter and tears and more laughter all day long. These girls were such a great group of bridesmaids, and I now know why Molly calls them her closest friends.

Don't you just love couples that naturally fall into place, that don't require direction?! Talk about a couple who is perfectly comfortable with each other, even when there's a paparazzi surrounding them!
