Tara and Clint
Tara and Clint’s simple but wonderfully elegant garden wedding at the lovely O’Neil House in Akron, Ohio.
Noel and Jeremy
If Noel and Jeremy had a stressful time REplanning their wedding after Jeremy’s Army duties forced a move-up in the festivities it certainly did not show on their lovely winter wedding day. Cleveland’s Windows on the River is airy, light, and wide open, with breathtaking views of the city both sun up and sun down. Both the wedding and reception were held in the same space at Windows, and the staff did a stellar job of making the change over as smooth as could be!
Noel and Jeremy are a sweet, energetic, and vibrant couple, and I wish them the best of luck in their marriage and brand new home in Tennessee!
Joanna and Jack
Cozy, warm, intimate, and elegant. Throw in two smart cookies with matching wits and you have yourself a perfect little wedding. Joanna and Jack were married at the O’Neil House in Akron with just 22 guests in attendance. Because of the frozen clime, the entire ceremony and reception took place inside. Not to worry, though. Every nook and cranny of this beautiful bed and breakfast was absolutely photogenic. My favorite part of the ceremony was the fact that the guests watched the bride and her parents descend a gorgeous flight of stairs into a foyer where they were all standing, and then followed the bride and groom into the grand room where vows were exchanged. Such a lovely surprise for the guests!
During our little photo break during cocktail hour, I got to spend a some time alone with the couple. As I took photos of them, they quoted Keats and Beowulf for one another. I asked Joanna if she could speak Middle English in a New York accent. She totally did.
Enjoy. Congratulations, Joanna and Jack!

Katrina and Lee
Katrina and Lee are sincerely one of the kindest couples I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. So much handiwork went into the reception that I couldn’t resist including all of the little details. If you are a CLE bride and groom, you should really consider their reception venue, smARTspace at 78th Street Studios . It has an elegant yet urban feel and is flanked with working artists’ studios!
Ranjit
I recently had the pleasure of designing adorable Ranjit’s modeling portfolio. Kudos to Don Pavlish for his lighting prowess and intern Katie Cutshaw for so keenly holding Ranjit’s attention. What a beautiful boy!
Priscilla and Cheyenne: Engagement Session
Last weekend I had the absolute highest honor of my life photographing my best friend’s engagement session. Priscilla and I have been friends for sixteen years. We know each other intimately and share a history of fun and wonder, sorrow and pain, and now this overwhelming joy in the celebration of her love and life together with Cheyenne. While we haven’t lived in the same city for quite some time, seeing Priscilla is always like going home.
Our weekend shooting in and around Nashville was punctuated with warm weather, gorgeous fall foliage, and fiery golden sunsets that were as magical as they were romantic.
As you can well see, Scilla and Cheyenne are a stunning couple who are totally head over heels for one another. Half the time I think they forgot I was even there, camera in hand, taking it all in.
Ann and Sky
These California girls braved an incredibly frigid autumn day (in tank tops and skirts no less) in order to shoot some photos of their product line for Divinity Within Designs. All of the patterns on this exceedingly cozy yoga gear were designed by Sky and Ann and almost seem to breathe energy, balance, and bright bold strength. Ann also teaches a form of yoga she developed called Gypsy Yoga Flow at her studio DiviniTree in Santa Cruz, California. Her flexibility and passion for her practice were glowingly evident during our shoot!
Beth and Ken: Engagement Session
The one word I would use to describe these two? ADORABLE. Between her big doe eyes and his mischievous grin, these two have cute in spades. A warm, breezy, autumn day afforded us the opportunity to choose from multiple locations for shooting, and we took advantage of the possibilities! Congratulations, Beth and Ken!
