Here are just some of our summer associate weddings!

GINA & KYLE

Gina and Kyle’s wedding mass was at St. Joseph Cathedral in Ohio. The day was covered in sweet florals with pockets of joy all throughout. I especially love the location where Gina and Kyle’s first look was; the stairs, the tiled floor, and the lights are just all so stunning.

Looking back at the images from Iza and David’s wedding day just leaves me starstruck. How am I so lucky that my team gets to photograph such beautiful wedding days?! Anyway, their wedding was at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Indiana with a reception at the stunning Omni Severin. Every detail of the day was classy and timeless and I absolutely love this solo portrait of David checking his watch.

The reception was at The Barley Room and featured the men carrying Joseph all around the space to the music.
