Mackenzie and Ryan’s fall wedding was in one of the dreamiest locations in Northern Ohio, the historical Stan Hywet Mansion.  Then with it being in the stunning month of October and planned by A Charming Fete’s wonderful Lauren Hibbard and her team, every detail was fall themed and perfect! Mackenzie and Ryan are a fun […]

When Cici (short for Siyi) contacted us, I thought she wanted an engagement session.  After talking a bit longer and realizing their wedding would be in China on New Years, I thought she was envisioning wedding pictures in her Chinese wedding gown! But, finally I “got the picture”, she was planning and wanting an “American […]

Scott and Shannon met through her best friend  (JoAnne) in 2014. The two of them had grown up in the same town, and then years later, Scott somehow ended up living in the same apartment complex as Shannon and JoAnne. Shannon feels they were meant to be.  There were so many small life choices that […]

Jeremy and Emily together are a perfect fit. Both busy professionals that have a similar drive, are very courteous and have the sweetest smiles when they look at each other.

As I was preparing this blog post, I was thinking about the first time we met Kyle and Samantha.  It was 2 years ago for their engagement session.  We loved photographing the two of them.  They had been dating for a long time, like so many of our clients, and had such a sweet connection […]

Jeremy and Michelle’s wedding was just as Fall was starting to show. They had planned it to be in the same month as their dating anniversary.

Katie and Michael were college sweethearts at the University of Virginia. So when they decided to have their wedding in Charlottesville, it made perfect sense.   As John and I landed in Charlottesville for the wedding, there was an instant since of happiness and calmness.  I love Charlottesville.  My family lived there shortly when I was […]

Vanessa and Jason’s wedding ceremony was held at one of my personal favorite outdoor historical wedding locations, The Western Reserve Historical Society.  The courtyards at the museum are just stunning and Vanessa selected the courtyard that makes you feel as if you are right in Italy. This was the perfect location for this very Italian […]
