  • Grand Barn at the Mohicans Wedding Photography | Jenna & Kevin

    Jenna and Kevin said “I do” this month in Glenmont, Ohio. They invited me all the way from North Carolina to photograph their wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier to be a part of their day. I’ve known Kevin for YEARS now, we were college buddies, and I actually didn’t even get the pleasure of meeting Jenna until the wedding day, although it didn’t feel that way at all. These two got married at the Mohicans in the Grand Barn Wedding Center. They decorated the place with soft and natural greenery, with pops of white and gold. Their florist decorated the most gorgeous arch for their ceremony, complete with hanging terrariums with succulents and candles inside. The bridesmaid dresses were a nice soft neutral color which paired so nicely with Jenna’s beautiful dress, and Kevin even sprung for this incredible dark green suit – so cool! They had big Edison bulbs lighting their ceremony and reception outdoors on the patio, which made for some of the dreamiest dancing photos. Honestly some of my very favorite first dance photos EVER. We were also able to wander around the woods and hang out at tree houses, which I absolutely loved. They danced, they laughed, they had their siblings and parents make the most perfect speeches – mostly about Kevin taking his shirt off at family functions. I love getting to come hang out with old friends on such an important day, and I love it even more when I get to see how happy they are. Jenna and Kevin, you two are amazing, and I can’t wait to wish you a happy anniversary for years and years and years to come. Now go look at some of these gorgeous pictures!!!

  • Brooklyn Arts Center Wedding Photography | Jordan & Bo

    Sometimes you get lucky and you move to a new state and you don’t know a single person and you end up making friends with your photography clients. Sometimes you REALLY luck out and they turn into some of your best friends. That’s what happened with Jordan and Bo. These two are so fun and lighthearted and just an absolute blast to be around. Their love story is sweet, their relationship is so calm and trusting and comfortable, and I really believe they were meant to find each other in this crazy world.

    We spent the day laughing and singing and, okay, maybe sweating a little. Their wedding was held at the Brooklyn Arts Center in downtown Wilmington, in the big beautiful brick building with the tallest ceilings and the most gorgeous architecture. They decorated it and made it their own space, with sweet pops of summer colors. I really love photographing weddings for your close friends, because it doesn’t feel like I’m working at all. I had strict instructions to put my camera away at one point, and I even remember snapping a few after I was done (because I can’t help it and I’m addicted to my camera) and Jordan yelling at me to go get a drink instead. If that doesn’t make you feel right at home, then I don’t know what does! Thank you to both of you for having me capture these memories for years and years to come, I can’t wait to watch you two grow together.

    Life is ever changing but I will always
    find a constant and comfort in your love
    With your heart my soul is bound
    And as we dance I know that heaven can be found
