{Part 1: Love+Learning+Together} My favorite Autumn

I'm going to start a new series of photos/blog post called "Love+Learning+Together". It will be all about Reed and I's journey together. May not be a huge post every time, but just a little post showing you a peek into our life.

So here goes Part 1:

Our 8 month anniversary was a little over a week ago. It seems like just yesterday that he proposed to me. It's been the best 8 months of my life, yet trying at times.
We learn more and more about each other every day...every single day. We have made our house a "home". We've made big decisions as one. We grow closer together daily. He's pushed me to try new things..like running a half marathon (which is tomorrow, EKkk!). So proud to be able to run it with him! He has encouraged me to pick up old things, like my violin, and rekindle my love for it. He's good for me. He has made me a better--stronger person. Life is sweet with my husband!

Well Autumn is my favorite season. I love the bonfires, hayrides, pumpkin spice candles,hoodies , Fall parties, the COLOR on the trees, the crunchy sound that the leaves make when I walk on them ;) but this Autumn has been unlike all the other Autumns of my life. This Autumn I'm a married women, and I must tell you it's been my favorite Autumn of all.

(these' were taken on our 8 month anniversary)

{Senior} Allison: Yellow Springs, Ohio Wedding & Portrait Photographer

This is Allison, she's my cousin...and also my gal pal. We grew up playing dress-up!! We'd dress up like ballerinas & Disney princess' and throw fashion shows. We played Polly Pockets and rode bikes. Swam in the summer and had slumber parties all the time. Even though I was a little older then her that never got in the way. Some of the most fondest childhood memories are with her. No one could ever replace her! We even had plans on opening up a vet clinic (we had business cards and all lol.) SO many good memories with her!

She is strong, confident, beautiful, meek, SMART, and that's just a few of her strong characters. She's an amazing young lady and my life wouldn't be the same without her.


I told you she is beautiful!!!!! ENJOY.

{Happily Ever After} Nick + Monica: Cleveland, OH Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Nick + Monica's wedding was fabulous. They got married in Cleveland, OH. It was a beautiful, perfect day in May. Well, I hadn't met Monica until the week before the wedding. We talked about the details of her lovely day. When I left I knew it was going to be a wedding I'd never forget. It was going to be perfect!
Monica was quiet and reserved, but confident. She is one of those girls that has such a pleasant and sweet personality that everyone can't help but love. I hadn't met Nick until the wedding day, but I knew right away how good of a match they were. They complimented each other in so many different ways.

Monica had a lot of family come from Egypt for the wedding (how cool is that??!!). They had friends from all over the US come in for the wedding also. It was awesome to see all the love and support they had on their wedding day.

We started out early photographing Monica as she got all dolled up for Nick. She was glowing the entire day!









Monica had some gorgeous details...her dress, shoes, rings, jewelry--it was all beautiful!!!


I'm partial to LACE. I just love it.












Like I said SHE WAS GLOWING the whole day.




I'm pretty sure her daddy was on cloud 9 the entire day.






The guys were waiting for me at the church...a very fun bunch of guys!






ALL the girls looked just perfect!






BUT the day wouldn't have been the same without her little sidekick ;)

















































Nick's dad had passed a away a few years ago. When he found out he didn't have long to live he wrote Nick a letter, and he wanted the letter read to Nick on his wedding day. It was one of the most touching moments I've ever heard.


Nick's Mom
