Today 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!

Alex 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!

Last month, my fiancé, Donny, and I went to visit some family members in Clearwater, Florida – our soon to be permanent home. In planning our trip, we set up photo sessions with couples and family living in the Tampa area. We were lucky enough to have Hoby + Kathryn in town during the same week! Capturing their love was an incredible experience, despite some unavoidable and uncontrollable obstacles that were thrown our way.

I first met Jordan and Eva when we went to Fellows Riverside Gardens for their engagement session about five months before their wedding and I just knew I would love them. They’re so sweet, fun, full of life and completely in love with each other. Their connection is so undeniable and pure. You couldn’t tear these two apart if you tried. It’s couples like this who make me feel extra honored and excited to do what I do. I couldn’t wait to document one of the best days of their lives!
