 PHOTOGRAPHY

I had photographed a wedding at Hale Farm once before, so getting the chance to come back again was incredible. There’s something so fun about returning to a venue already knowing some of its best little corners while still getting to see it completely differently through another couple’s wedding day.

As a Cleveland and Chicago engagement photographer, I've photographed couples everywhere from city streets and museums to beaches, parks, and lakefront locations. While every session is different, there are a few outfit choices that photograph beautifully almost every time.

a Cleveland wedding photographer (and historian!), I’m always keeping a running list of Northeast Ohio wedding venues I’m dreaming of getting behind my camera at. These are the places that immediately make me start imagining the photographs I could create there—from timeless portraits and candid moments to a little editorial flash magic.

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.

A LOT has happened behind the scenes, and it feels like the perfect time to officially catch up. If you’re searching for a Cleveland wedding photographer or Chicago wedding photographer, this season has been one of the most meaningful yet—and I’m so excited to share what’s been going on.

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

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.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and realign. As an Ohio wedding photographer serving Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago, and Beyond I’m stepping into this year with intention—focused on growth, creativity, and building a photography business rooted in connection. In 2025, I’ve learned that great wedding photography isn’t just about beautiful images. It’s about storytelling, trust, and creating an experience that allows couples to fully enjoy thei
