One of my favorite parts of portrait time is slowing everything down. Wedding days can fly by, and these moments give couples a chance to step away from the excitement, soak it all in, and simply enjoy being newly married together.

What I loved most about this session was how effortless everything felt between them—no stiff posing, just the two of them existing in their own little world while the city moved around them. James and Prisca have such a calm, grounding energy together. You can tell how much they genuinely enjoy simply being in each other’s presence, and that always translates so beautifully in photos.

Stephan and Gabby’s engagement session at the Wisconsin State Capitol felt like stepping right into a classic love story. From the moment we started, there was such an easy connection between them—nothing forced, nothing overly posed, just the kind of natural comfort that makes photographing couples like this so meaningful.

If there’s one thing I love just as much as photographing couples, it’s helping them find locations that feel right for their story. A Client-friendly note to all who visit: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by options, don’t worry—that’s completely normal. Most couples don’t have a location picked when they book. I’ll help you narrow this list based on your vision, outfits, season, and how you want your photos to feel . Think of this post as inspiration, not homework. Northeas

As we settle into the new year, I can’t help but look back on one of my favorite engagement sessions from late fall—just before the first snow blanketed Columbus. There’s a special kind of magic in those last golden days of autumn: the air is crisp, the colors are warm and muted, and everything feels calm yet full of life.

Before you dive headfirst into planning spreadsheets and Pinterest boards, take a moment to simply enjoy being engaged. This season is short, sweet, and incredibly meaningful. That said, once the excitement settles, most couples find themselves asking the same question:“Okay… now what?”

Cleveland has no shortage of charming, intimate spaces. From historic bookshops to neighborhood cafés, the city offers endless opportunities for sessions that feel warm, romantic, and personal. For couples who want their photos to feel like a memory rather than a production, Cleveland provides the perfect backdrop.

Shooting in a city for the first time always brings a fresh perspective. I found myself slowing down—paying closer attention to light, textures, and natural framing. Duluth encouraged a more intentional approach, one that blends adventure with intimacy.

2025 Year in Review — Weddings I Had the Honor to Capture This year was an incredible year filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. As I look back through the weddings I had the privilege of photographing, I’m filled with gratitude for every couple who trusted me to tell their story.
