One thing you should know about me is I am always shooting weddings in Northeast Ohio. I attended a university 45 minutes Northeast of Columbus, and many people I met in college, lived up that direction. I started my photography business as a sophomore in college, and because of this, so many of my clients are couples I met there. This wedding is no different.

Mary Kate went to college with me, and I was so excited went she reached out to me to photograph her wedding. Their big day was so fun to capture. Think—modern and elegant farm with beautiful neutral tones.
