Happily Hitched Photography

Rocky+Mandy 8.17.24 The Hub at Village Square

What an amazing day from start to finish for this little family. These two... even after years of being together are absolutely head over heels for each other.

06/25/2024

Oh my goodness Andrea and I about keeled over on Saturday not from how hot it was but from excitement because of how head over heels Tristan and Becca were for each other. You have no idea how excited we get when we see couples that undoubtably have the best kind of love for each other. The type of love that will never waiver even during hard times because they without a doubt are committed to each other through thick and thin. I don't think one person attending the ceremony could stop smiling ear to ear seeing how giddy they both were to marry each other

I was going to wait until tomorrow to sort through alll the images from Dylan and Shelby's wedding but I couldn't go to bed without sharing just a few! These two 😍 ...some couples are just their own little party and while I know they both were over the moon to have so many friends and family celebrate with them, I kept thinking all these two really need are each other. They both lit up every single time they saw each other and smiled ear to ear as long as they were next to each other. Congrats you two

I just read a message from the mother of the bride saying today was a "fairy tale" ❤ I agree. I thought about posing pictures of the bridal party,family, friends ( that were breaking it down on the dance floor) , but honestly I swear most of time when these two look at each other they only see each other so it's only fitting the first preview is completely of just these two.....
"But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale"

I know it's been a little rainy ( ok a lot rainy) but I'm not even complaining right now because the colors have been soooo good ❤️These two told me they were awkward 🙄 ...... they most definitely weren't.... but we finished "wedding bootcamp" aka the engagement session and we are most definitely ready for 2024 to come so we can party the night away at the The Meadowood

10/22/2023

ahhhh such a beautiful wedding but listen here weather I'm over your rainy weather.... we pulled the umbrellas out, we went for cover, we grabbed tarps, but we weren't putting up with it today! But I will say, in the end the rain made it beautiful. I'm so happy for this little family

10/15/2023

The rain was NOT going to rain on Brandi and David's parade today! The first hour I was at the Meadowood I took about two pictures 🫣 because Brett, the Meadowood coordinator, and I were hustling with a pickup truck to setup two alternative ceremony sites (one indoor one outdoor) that Brandi would love because her original area was just too wet for guests and we weren't exactly sure if the rain was going to cooperate long enough that she could have it outdoors. Thankfully mother nature gave us a little break and honestly I think it may have worked out better than we originally planned because her ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Brandi did amazingggg planning their big wedding and I am so appreciative and honored she asked me to help photograph their small intimate ceremony 1 year ago and their big celebration today ( well I guess yesterday now) Congrats you two ❤ We could definitely feel all the love surrounding you

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Kindt!
The weather was wilddddd on Saturday ( welcome fall!) . Sunny, windy, pouring rain, but it didn't matter...Chris and Haley were just ready to be married so they definitely went with the flow

I told myself no preview for the night but.... here I am not being able to stop myself

08/06/2023

I didn't even know where to start with the preview for this weekend's wedding but I edited just a few of my favorites ❤ There were so many moments that made me teary. Such a pretty day and the best party for the cutest little family. Congrats Mr. and Mrs Hershner. You guys deserve all the happiness in the world with those two little babes. Hope you danced the whole night away.

I’m up early from a work related nightmare … anyone ever get those 😅… mine are always about either forgetting a crucial piece of equipment for wedding photography (sd cards or external flashes for a dark wedding venue) or my dream last night: a wedding started at 12 and my gps said I would be there at 12:05 so I would miss the bride walking down the aisle 🥴🥴 I don’t ever come to wedding right when it start by the way 🤣….Ohhh the stress that keeps you up at night. Anyway to talk about happier things these TWO. Happy 1st Anniversary Mr and mrs DANAS!!! You two had amazing weather for your wedding but the sunset hit it out of the park for your anniversary pics! I hope my engagement couple I’m shooting tonight is equally as lucky with their golden hour 🤩

These two

06/07/2023

I keep promising myself to go to bed at a decent hour but I just cant because I'm up finishing writing out the wedding photography contract for the soon to be Mr. and Mrs Spencer's spring 2024 wedding!! I'm so excited to photograph at Heart Hill LLC . These two are going to put on quite a party I already know it!

03/19/2023

You know just Ohio weather that went from 60 degrees on Thursday to 20 degrees today in no time flat! The weather may have kept us inside Watersedge for most of the day but Amandrea and Brandon's wedding was one for the books which deserves a bigggg preview being it the first wedding to kick of our 2023 wedding season! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Holmes for throwing the bestttt saturday night party. From watching you two together all day we know you'll have many many amazing years together!

Thank you to Watersedge for such a seamless evening as always!

Heyyy just jumping on really quick to clear up something up before I start packing for a wedding at Watersedge in Columbus tomorrow ❤️! Happily Hitched photography includes Andrea and I (Hailey) as main photographers! Andrea and I have over 24 years of photography experience (we can’t possibly be this old 🤷🏻‍♀️). We have extensive studio (we both own our own photography studios individually) , natural light, and off camera flash experience. We were having so many inquiries during the year that we decided to better serve Ohio brides on popular dates we would split up with our team of second shooters to be able to serve two brides if the bride chose. If I am unavailable you have the option of having miss Andrea who is very experienced and honestly much sweeter than me 🤣 … be your paparazzi for your big day! After she shoots your wedding she brings me all the raw images the next day to edit ❤️ so all editing is completed by me to maintain the same editing style on every wedding. I would never switch your main photographer on you. Whoever you book with in your contract is who you will have the day of your wedding no surprises from us ❤️. I’m honestly so blessed to have Andrea and our team of second shooters (Tika, Ashley, Brett, Kerstin). Andrea makes my photography world go round and I’m not sure happily hitched would be able to serve as many brides per year without me having a mental break down without her -she’s my biggest cheerleader and motivator (outside of my husband)! She is definitely the peanut butter to my jelly ❤️ I hope that helps explain who happily hitched is and how we work through the crazy wedding season! throwback to the worst year of our wedding photography life when 17 weddings rescheduled and the rest we were masked up and doused in hand sanitizer!

What an amazing deal from a premier central Ohio venue!

Anyone out there recently engaged who doesn’t want to wait to get married?? May is a beautiful month for a greenhouse wedding!

7 presses and that’s not even the whole Bridal order! This is why we have you book your wedding weekend in advance, so we can prepare an amount of presses for you and have other drying methods like microfleur, air drying, books, etc ready for your flowers! Your flowers are checked daily and given fresh layers of absorbent sheets to best ensure the moisture is taken out. When I first get your flowers I go through separating them into sections based on drying method that will be used for the best final floral result🌸 Then we wait! (Depending on the method!)

I love using these old fashioned flower presses. They work so well for almost all flower and greenery types! A flower that doesn’t work so well in them? Chrysanthemums 💀 Those are my pain-point right now with trying to get them perfectly dry for an order. There’s no better serotonin boost than when I have successfully pressed a new flower type with one of my methods!

📆 Ready to BOOK us? Go to tinyurl.com/OrderPressedBloom. Then we’ll do a quick consult call, chat about price for all the frames you want and pick up/drop off of flowers.

👰‍♀️ Want to see me in person? Head to the Mid Ohio Bridal Spectacular (free bridal show with TONS of vendors, freebies and prizes) on Jan 29 from 12-5. See my past post about it😁



Peep my air dried floral wreath in the background. Those flowers are three years old and still perfect as the day they were picked from my garden!

This wedding... by far the most emotional wedding I've shot during my 10 year career. I could have filled buckets with the tears that were shed from everyone from the pastor even to the little ones. The love and support this little family of 3 has from their friends and family is such an overwhelming blessing. They had the most perfect October day at Kingwood Center Gardens and I couldn't be more excited from them to begin their new journey together.

Brides!! What are you going to do with your bouquets after your wedding?? Check out The Pressed Bloom to preserve your wedding flowers. She is so creative ❤️

Most Brides find me after their wedding. This Bride, Tina, did such a great job hang drying her bouquet didn’t she?! If you’d like your bouquet dried like this, we at The Pressed Bloom recommend hanging it upside down in a dark room or closet that won’t get too humid. (You can DIY or give it to me to do😄)

After 8 weeks, there should be no moisture! Keep in mind the flowers will be delicate and break easily. Tina has some other flowers I’ll be pressing, but then this bouquet will be preserved in a shadow box or as a wreath- we haven’t decided yet!

Know that flowers that have been dried in this method cannot be pressed! When you need pressing done, get ahold of me💐😄 Thank you all for spreading the word about my business, I sure love it!

What a wedding! We have been honored to be a preferred vendor for many venues across central Ohio but 4 Seasons Barn is always one that we are ecstatic to shoot at and it was no exception last night. Gretchen and Aaron was the last of our COIVD 2020 reschedules and even though their wedding was delayed a bit it still had alllllll the feels with Andrea and I basically sobbing during their first look ( we dont usually cry). These two together are everything and we know they will have a long and happy marriage if they pour even 10% of the effort and emotion into each other that they displayed last night. Congrats you two!

Did you think I was done sharing weddings from the weekend no way! I was so honored to photograph the intimate ceremony for the new Mr and Mrs Miller! Their church was absolutely perfect for their small ceremony. I can not wait to document their BIG celebration and wedding next year at The Meadowood!!

Who is ready for another fall wedding preview

10/11/2022

The fall colors are here 🙌 Luke and Lisa had the best weather for their fall wedding ❤ ( a lot better than our subdegree weather for their engagement photos 😅) Im so glad these two allowed Andrea and I to be a part of their wedding! This wedding was a long time coming and it was huge celebration with family and friends dancing the night away!
