These memorable mother-daughter moments the morning of a wedding always have a special place in my heart! Not only do I remember similar moments from my own wedding day with my mom, but I look forward to helping my girls get ready on their wedding days as well. Makes me a little teary-eyed!

Kyly and her mom were so sweet together! Such a treasured bond!

A mix of moments and portraits from Chrissy and Kurt’s summer wedding! Their rich love for one another and their families & friends beamed brightly throughout the entire day!

In the midst of a wedding day, I aim to capture timeless portraits that you will frame and treasure for years to come, but also, we are always looking for the in-between moments that are naturally unfolding that help tell the full story of your day!

Capturing Every Detail: Arriving Early and Planning Thoughtfully.

When photographing a wedding, I believe every detail matters. This is one of the reasons why I always arrive with plenty of time at the ceremony location to capture the breathtaking architecture of the cathedral, for example, to the carefully chosen florals and decor.

During the ceremony, my second shooter and I are looking for all the special moments from two different perspectives—the big, emotional moments and the quiet, intimate ones. The way a groom reacts with the doors open to see his bride walk down the aisle, the endearing hugs to family members, the joy as you admire your wedding bands—every moment deserves to be remembered.

And sometimes, the ceremony site itself is the perfect backdrop for additional portraits. Whether it’s private vows before or after the ceremony, fun bridal party photos, or some intimate yet epic just-married portraits as husband and wife, I’m always considering the best use of each location when customizing a timeline for my couples.

Every wedding is unique, and I love tailoring each timeline to create a seamless, stress-free experience—so my couples can focus on what matters most: celebrating their love.

(Don’t you just love these ceremony moments in black and white of Danielle and Mitchell at the beautiful and historic St. Francis de Sales?! I always deliver the color versions as well, but black and white photos have a special place in my heart!)

One of my absolute favorite parts of a wedding day is when my couples choose to have a first look. There’s something so intimate and special about carving out that quiet moment before the day gets swept up in the whirlwind of celebration.

It’s a time to savor. To really see each other, away from the crowd. It’s where you can take a deep breath together, let the nerves melt away, and simply be.

The reactions are always so raw—whether it’s tears, laughter, or a mixture of both. It’s a chance to hug, to kiss, to feel. To whisper the things you’ve been waiting to say all morning.

And my favorite? When couples take this moment to read letters or vows to each other. Sharing those words in such a private, personal way makes them even more meaningful.

A first look doesn’t just create a beautiful memory—it sets the tone for the rest of your day. It reminds you that this day is yours.

These endless cold, snowy days have me reminiscing about this beautiful summer wedding! I just can’t get over these joy-filled smiles, this lovely flowing veil, and Haley and Matthew’s romantic walk along the flower-lined path outside The French House.

Sincerely and excitedly looking forward to all the incredible couples I have the honor of working with in 2025, while also looking back with a full and grateful heart for all of my 2024 couples who trusted me to capture their beautiful wedding days! This job I’ve been blessed with - photographing beautiful, timeless love stories for more than a decade - is truly a gift and a privilege.

Cara and Mike, a couple whose love knows no borders, celebrated their extraordinary journey in style this New Year’s Eve! After saying “I do” in a stunning, sun-kissed wedding in Greece earlier this year, they brought the magic home to Cincinnati to ring in 2025 surrounded by their family and friends.

The evening was nothing short of glamorous—a celebration of their incredible love story, their marriage, and the exciting chapters yet to come. Cara planning and vision of this grand party was impressive to say the least! Glittering candlelights, dazzling disco balls galore and tons of fun and fab NYE décor - every detail sparkled with intention and joy - all crowned by The View’s shimmering chandelier.

Although the weather may have paled in comparison to the sunshine and warmth of their wedding day, Cara and Mike were all game for getting outside for a few minutes to grab some photos! Plus all the natural light pouring through the wall of windows at the beautiful View allowed for plenty of photos inside as well to document this special day! While guests arrived at cocktail hour, we zipped over to The Precinct where Cara and Mike shared some champagne before returning to their grand entrance at their NYE party for the newlyweds! Delicious food, dancefloor fun and lively laughter carried the crowd in high spirits to midnight, when Cara and Mike shared a kiss and rang in the New Year with all the people who mean the most to them.

Cara and Mike, it was such a privilege to work with y’all and capture this amazing celebration for you! Cheers and much love to the Lonnemans! 🥂

Today, I’m grateful to be celebrating another birthday! 🎉 I have had a wonderful day with my family - going to church together, enjoying a delicious brunch, relaxing and playing games! And I’m now on my way to a surprise date with my husband! It’s been truly lovely!

Being a photographer affords me the opportunity to be a part of so many meaningful celebrations- from engagements to weddings to anniversaries to newborns and growing families. My job is full of so much life and love, and I’m just real blessed to get to do what I do!

To my dear clients, thank you for inviting me into your lives to document all of your amazing celebrations and milestones. It’s a true gift!

Here’s to another year of cherishing and capturing more meaningful moments! 🤍

Merry Christmas, friends!!

This month is such a beautiful time to pause, soak in the warmth of family and friends, and delight in all the twinkling lights and celebrations.

Amidst the flurry of fun festivities, I’m grateful for the moments to pause and reflect on the greatest gift of all - the birth of Jesus. I am deeply thankful for the hope I have in Him through the highs and lows of life, for my precious family, my dear friends, and for you—my amazing couples and clients. Being a part of your love stories is one of the greatest blessings in my life.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!

Reflecting back on my first wedding of this year and all the details, portraits and moments in between that I’ve had the honor of capturing since! It’s such a magical time as we prepare for the holidays, and I am bubbling with excitement for all my amazing 2024 couples who are about to celebrate their first Christmas as husband and wife! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

On your wedding day, of course I am always looking to capture the story of the love, joy and celebration between the two of you as you become husband and wife. My second shooter and I are also looking for the side stories as well in hopes to gift back to you the layers of moments woven together that made your wedding day unique and incredibly special.

It was such an honor to capture Mary and Matt’s beautiful wedding. Their day was filled with meaningful and sentimental moments, and their love for each other and their families was most notable. The bond between Mary and her sister Josie was such a delight to capture. They indicated on more than one occasion that the Friedl sisters just can help but smiling and laughing. From touching up her lipgloss, to ensuring her earrings looked just right, to helping with her dress and veil alongside mom, to fluffing her train and happy tears during the ceremony (followed by a burst of great laughter afterwards), to a heartfelt toast and hug, these in-between moments that could have gone unnoticed, encapsulating this special bond between these sisters, were some of our favorite to document. So sweet! (And I must say, that as a mom of five with two daughters, I can’t help but think about and hope for these same moments for them on their wedding days.) 🤍🤍

I had so much fun with Alli and Brandon at their chic and stylish city engagement session earlier this fall. Aren’t these two such a lovely couple?! Plus, the gorgeous light and timely breeze provided an extra touch of magic! I can’t wait to celebrate y’all in 2025! Your best day will be here before we know it! SO excited! 🤍
