Alicia + Luna | Married in Mohican

Mohican is a great option for a get away type feel (for vacation or for a wedding!) but staying in Ohio. My own family did our “fake Christmas” there this year, and it was perfect for all the ages of kids we have. Alicia + Luna threw a wonderful celebration + let me take them to all the amazingly sunlit spots for photos throughout their day.

Two of the things I’m most passionate about, when directing how a wedding day goes are: keeping your day running smoothly and letting these portraits dictate themselves.

1: if your day has any hint of chaos in it, guess what? You’ll feel it, and you don’t want that. I don’t want that either :) It’s my job to be efficiently finished with anything I require of you (because, yessss we ARE required to do some photos, despite candids > everything) with enough time for you so that you’ve had a minute to reflect + be present in the big moments. I won’t finish up the portraits as you’re rushing to make sure your lipstick is perfect for the walk down the aisle.

2. I can’t tell you how many people tell me they’re nervous or terrible in front of the camera. Well, duh! it’s awkward. It’s why creating an atmosphere of calm + candidness helps to calm your nerves. We’ll work together to schedule your day so that we aren’t doing a marathon photo session but rather; you’re leaving to be alone with your partner in times when you feel like, “PHEW! this is nice to be alone!” And guess what here? You’ll be so happy to be together and ALONE, we’ll make those magical moments you’re craving for your wedding images!

SO! that just so happens to be my recipe for a perfect wedding day. Does it strike a chord to ya? Let’s talk! smash that contact me button + send me all the info I need to know ;) (wow, that was just an experiment to type, and yah, no, that’s not me! ha!)

Laura + Ben | married!

Laura + Ben's High Line wedding was a perfect celebration of their love. They were surrounded by the people they love, and so comfortable, that when it was time to walk down the aisle, it was as though they were simply made to marry each other. No nerves. No jitters. So sweet, and pure love!

High Line is a gorgeous venue + I'm always happy to shoot there. Enjoy seeing what I saw, along with some help from my trusty sidekick, Savannah, below!

(and I'm just going to put this little piece of hope into the universe. I'm way down for offering my handlettering/calligraphy for brides and events! Scary, YUP! But I love it, and find myself with all my "spare time" (which I have essentially none of! basically nervous writing during Cavs games!) practicing and writing and writing! SOOOOO if you want to chat about it with me, I'm game!)
