Irongate was a stunning backdrop on this cool October day. The florist, Madison House Designs, designed stunning rustic arrangements that accented the venue and fall colors. The Christmas light's that hung from wall-to-wall made the reception hall shimmer with romantic lighting. A s'more stand and firepit set the mood for a cozy autumn evening and gave guests a break from the dance floor. This perfect evening ended with a sparkler exit beneath the starlit sky!

Ross and Nina's early early June wedding showcased all that downtown Columbus has to offer to wedding couples.

Everywhere we went was only a couple blocks from the other locations, but offered dramatic scenery/backdrop changes. 

We had an amazing time exploring downtown and German Village with Melody and Brian. Their evening engagement session continued after dark so that we could get some gorgeous night shots of the city and romantic evening lighting in German Village.

Sarah and Brad's Columbus Athenaeum wedding will always be special to us for many reasons, the biggest being that I was a surprise for the bride! The bride's mother was particularly picky about wedding photos because she is a retired wedding photographer of 30 years. So, she did tons of research, contacted me, and together we got to surprise Sarah and Brad with a wedding package.

Abby and Bryan's fall wedding was laced with rustic charm, warm colors, and wooded scenery. Canyon Run Ranch was the perfect setting for a relaxed, yet elegant, wedding.

After the groom and his groomsmen had channeled their inner GQ models, we headed over to Abby's dressing room.

There is nothing quite like a Modern Jewish Orthodox Wedding.

From the signing of the Ketubah to the breaking of the plate, there are so many moments to photograph.
