When their plans to be married in Ohio didn’t pan out due to covid-19, Nate & Krista moved their big day down south, deciding on a destination beach wedding in Destin, Florida.
Read MoreShortly before returning to Ohio from our month long work-vacation in St. Petersburg, FL, Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Chris + Kristi. On vacation themselves, they wanted to take advantage of the Florida sunshine and beach before Kristi was deployed for duty. Hoping to capture a few memories to help manage their time apart from one another, they decided to do a cute mini session on the beach at sunset. Madeira Beach was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Enjoy these beautiful Florida beach sunset photos!
Read MoreSeveral weeks ago, Donny & I had the privilege of photographing the bond between two amazing individuals (who have now become friends), Will + Gabby. Their sunny Florida wedding in Venice was absolutely gorgeous, heartfelt, and intimate. Guests flew in from all over the world, traveling thousands of miles to be apart of the festivities and witness the love and commitment of their favorite couple. It was such a special day! We’re so thankful we were able to be apart of it and tell their beautifully unique story.
Read MoreMeet Tracey and her adorable "mini me." :) We got to meet up for a Mommy & Me session at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida a few weeks ago and I'm so glad we did! These two were such a joy to be around; I felt like they were old friends. We had a great time roaming through the paths, petting dogs (YAY to people who let me pet their dogs!!), swatting all the mosquitos (oh, Florida... #swampland), and soaking up the evening golden sunlight.
Read MoreToday on the blog I'm featuring Jayden + Jamie's stunning wedding at Stambaugh Auditorium in downtown Youngstown! Jayden and Jamie are some of the happiest, most go with the flow type of people I've ever met. I knew this about Jamie when I first met her years ago while studying art and working at Youngstown State University. She would seriously just make me laugh every time we were together because she has such an infectiously joyful personality. When I met Jayden a year ago for their engagement photos I knew they were a good fit for each other. These are truly my favorite kind of couples. The ones you just look at and go, "good job at finding one another!" They're just so cute and perfect together!
Read MoreAlex and Becca are the kind of people you want to be friends with - that's the best way I can describe them! We met up on a frigid, snowy day at Poland Municipal Forest for a fun, nature-filled engagement session. They brought along their beautiful white husky, Hafis, their parents, and fresh coffee and creamer to share (which totally went a long way because we couldn't feel our fingers)! Poland woods quickly turned into one of my absolute favorite photography locations in the Youngstown area. It just has so many unique elements and lovely scenery!
