Who We Are...

     We contribute all of our success and ability to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without him we would not be where we are at today.


     We are two of the most fun loving and care free people you may ever have the pleasure of knowing! Jokes are a normal part of our day and having fun while providing excellent service is what we live by. We do take our job very seriously and professionalism is a must for us but at the same time we strive to create a relaxed session that you can be yourself in. Our goal is to capture you being, well... you! Our work reflects the personalities of the people we shoot.


     We are a husband and wife photography team based out of Columbus, Ohio. We are photographers in love... In love with our work, and in love with each other. What sets us apart from everyone else is that we know what love looks like. Someone once told me. "You cannot lead someone where you have not been." How can a photographer capture the love of your wedding day if they simply do not know what it is? We are unique in that we can capture true love and we can also help create moments with true love.


     The wedding day is a whirlwind of excitement and emotion. You have to be able to confidently rely on your photographers because there is no time for mistakes. We promise to be those photographers that you can fully trust. We will get the shots that you want and we will also make your day that much more enjoyable. All we ask is that you will let us be a part of your amazingly amazing day!

Christmas Love

Christmas. My top 10 favorite moments during the Christmas season!!

1. Cookies!!! Every year we always make different kinds of cookies. This year my favorites were called Russian tea cake cookies.

2. My Team Jacob T-shirt and poster that Jared and his brother so thoughtfully purchased for me.

3. My mom bumping me in the face with chocolate. To all you Choco lovers out there….this was the dream….

4. Spending time with my Nieces and Nephew. These are some crazy wild munchkins.

5. Sante Fe soup….it only comes out twice a year. Its one of my many weaknesses.

6. Losing weight! That’s right, I actually LOST weight during Christmas. Uncalled for!!

7. Dawn flying into town for a short but great visit.

8. Shopping. Like most I shop a lot around the Holidays. I think I finally started shopping for OTHERS Christmas eve!! lol

9. Seeing everyone in a joyful mood. I love when everyone is so giving to one another.

10. Spending time with the one I love. Without him Holidays would only be half the fun they are :-)

Jenny and Kyle | Wedding

 That morning I woke up, routinely grabbed my coffee, peered out the window…..and saw FROST. Frost? As in like Jack Frost nipping at your nose….Frost was here and so was the time to get out and shoot a wedding in it. Stubbornly I through on my nice black dress pants a Cami, turtleneck, woolly grey cardigan and my winter coat. I was READY! Ready to freeze. Jenny and Kyle had a beautiful Old Hollywood themed wedding. I think they did a marvelous job at pulling it off. Jennys hair and makeup were done by her fabulous brides maids who constantly fixed her up when needed. It was like having her own personal hair and makeup crew for the day. I could seriously get used to having them around. My eyes would water and her best friend Catie was at my side wiping away my tears. How wonderful! :-)

Jenny and Kyle opted to do a first look! Something I wish every bride and groom would do! Their ceremony was held at 6:30pm and it was going to be to dark to shoot. So we hit up Nationwide Arena and had a BLAST! Here are some samples of their wedding portraits!

Sarah and Andy | Wedding

Stunning. The only word to describe this beautiful winter German Village wedding.  As I walked into the house where the girls had decided to get ready, I saw Sarah sitting in her chair by the beaming window light just glitzing in the sunshine. A huge grin sang from ear to ear as she was constantly being praised for her beauty.  I took the girls to Schiller Park in Columbus for their very brisk portraits. As the girls are shivering and shaking , Sarah looked as if she was mentally somewhere warm. She rocked her bridal portraits and I cant wait for you to view them below. Jared was with the guys hanging out at Gordon Biersch and taking pictures around the Nationwide arena area.

Church: Saint Leos Roman Catholic Church Columbus, Ohio

Peanut butter and banana pancake

A lot comes from the month of December. Cookies, dinners, parties, more cookies and OH what do you know….MORE COOKIES!!!! For those who follow our blog you know that Jared and I hired a personal trainer (Jake) a couple of months ago. Well, Jake expects me to lose 5 pounds this month. Jake, will definitely get his 5 pounds from me. Whether it be losing or gaining. There will definitely be a 5 pounds change in me!!

Sugar. Check.   Brown Sugar. Check   Flour. Check.   Vanilla. Check.   Baking soda……as I walked away from my recipe to find my baking soda a specific memory memory popped into my head. As I pulled the memory out of my memory jail cell, I started to chuckle to myself. Let me elaborate.

The setting is my parents cozy, country decorated home. Hannah (my little sister) and I were home alone. I, about 12 and Hannah about 10. I’m hungry, she’s hungry. We decided to make ourselves some pancakes from scratch. I pulled out my moms 100+ year old Betty Crocker cookbook and found the delicious fluffy pancake recipe. As I’m follow directions I come to baking powder. I mozy my way over to the baking cabinet and pull down, what I thought was baking powder. I measure it out and throw in the recommended amount needed. Once the batter is mixed I start frying up my pancakes. Once they are done I yell for my little sister to come in and enjoy this wonderful, made with love, pancake lunch. We smothered our butter, peanut butter, bananas and syrup on them ready to feast. We both decided to try them at the same time so that we would both let out the same reaction. It was the same reaction alright!! We both turn to each other, cheeks popping out from the huge bites we has just taken with a disgusted-oh-my-gosh-kind of look. Spitting out what we had just shoved into our mouths we both let out a “this is HORRIBLE’” shriek. Turns out I had tossed in baking soda rather than baking powder. The two are definitely not similar in any way! If you haven’t made this mistake before, I recommend being very careful in NOT making it. Or, 10 years later, you’ll be telling a story like I have on your new social networking site.

Jared and I are shooting Jenny and Kyles wedding today! Its supposed to be a high of a good ‘ol 28 degrees. Days like today make me wish I lived down south. Or at least had a home down there for the winter season!

Here is a sneak peek at tomorrow’s blog post!

German Village Wedding

December 12, 2009 - 6:22 am hannah - EWW i so remember those pancakes those were so nasty hahaha. Funny time though. I cant believe you remember how old we were i just remember the pancakes haha. Hope you arnt making those anymore haha love yah SIS

December 11, 2009 - 9:14 am Tasha - Haha! Good story! I once did that with sugar cookies...they were horrible! Now I'm very careful when reading and baking :)

Thomas | Newborn

The other week Jared and I were kindly welcomed in the Brenda and Steve’s Hilliard home. They had just given birth to little Thomas 2 weeks before the shoot. Thomas cooperated great and I cant wait to share the sneak peek with his family. His big brother Evan is going to be the best big brother any kid can have!
