Danielle and I first connected on the Gram lol! Follow her @ardenstones.us by the way, she makes some amazing jewelry!! Anyway, she and her new hubby Dwaylon have been together for 4 years and were married on April 20, 2019. They had an intimate ceremony at The Bendora Wedding Gallery in Worthington. (Unfortunately I wasn't there for that.) BUT, I had the opportunity to photograph their reception at Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center and we had a blast! These two were so

Only 23 days left until Spring. And do you know what I like to do in Spring?? TAKE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS! The trees are in bloom and the days are longer and warmer, the perfect combination for outdoor photos. A lot of couples debate whether or not to get engagement photos taken. But there are so many reason why you should consider it. One, it is a great opportunity for you guys to practice being photographed by your photographer before your wedding day. I mean, most people don't

I know that no wedding day is perfect. But Katelynn and Ben's day came about as close to perfect as it gets! From the first email I received from Kate, I knew that we would work great together. Her wedding was all that I love; laid back yet organized, outdoors on the water, family and friends oriented and FUN! The weather was perfect with the day ending in a sunset that stopped us all in our tracks. Honestly, I loved every minute of their day. And most importantly, Ben and Ka

This is the time of the year where I might finally get a chance to post some weddings! I plan to post some of my favorite 2017 weddings so stay tuned. Mari Ann and Jordan are one of those couples that just makes my job so fun and easy. So calm, so laid back, so happy and so in love. Technically, no wedding day is perfect, but this one sure came close. And shooting at Irongate Equestrian Center is always a pleasure. I love working with Laurie and her staff. #columbusweddings #

So it's bridal show season. Time to collect hundreds of brochures and cards and meet hundreds of vendors. NOW WHAT??? You have a bag full of STUFF, and you don't know what to do next. You might actually be more confused now than you were before you went to the shows. Bridal Show season can be overwhelming, but don't let it stress you out. There are some things that you can do to help sift through the madness. 1.Before you go to a show, make a list of vendors that you would

I first met Nitina back when her little sister came to my studio for senior portraits. Her and her two sisters are so close that they wanted a sister shot during the senior session.

I LOVED the venue and I loved Nitina and Jamaal's decor. Nitina is an event planner and it showed. (Check her out, Burg

There aren't many things that will make me put my camera down at a wedding. But when the zookeeper brought out the baby animals, I couldn't resist! Colin and Regan were married at St. Cecilia Church and then their reception followed at the Zoo. If you have never attended a Zoo wedding, convince someone you know to get married there ASAP! Here are a few pics from their special day. And I experienced something for the first time at this wedding: Regan's sister wrote a three v
