Looking for a super organized wedding photographer who values your family and legacy? I'm your girl.
I'm a wedding photographer serving couples in columbus, ohio and beyond.
So- you're planning your WEDDING! Yay! Most likely this is your first time planning a wedding, and I understand that the process can be overwhelming... but that's okay. I promise everything will come together! All you need is a great team of vendors working on your behalf + the people you love most in the world. It's a recipe for success, and I'll help you make it happen.
HEY BRIDE-TO-BE
I'M SO EXCITED YOU'RE HERE!
Remember that soaring sense of euphoria when you got engaged? THAT is the feeling I want you to have when you book your wedding photographer. It will feel like a match made in heaven and you’ll want to dance around the room, clap your hands, and celebrate. At least, that’s what I do when I’m excited. You do you, friend ;) Keep reading to find out if we're a perfect match!
PROFESSIONAL FAMILY ORGANIZER: Good news, friend! Your unruly family doesn’t scare me. If you're an enneagram nerd, I’m a type 9w1, which means I’ll do everything I can to diffuse tension and make sure everyone has an amazing day (especially you and your fiancé). I'll be your biggest advocate, mom's go-to when she's anxious about the time, and we’ll get your family photos done in a flash so Grandpa doesn’t have to stand too long. You and your family are my biggest priority!
is this what you're looking for?
We'd be great together.
WEDDING TIMELINE EXPERT: Wave goodbye to those stressful-omg-what-is-even-happening wedding-days you may have endured at your sister or friend’s wedding. My enneagram one wing comes alive when it’s time for timeline planning, and your wedding day will be planned out in great detail far in advance. No copy-and-paste templates here... your timeline is your own, and it will completely align with you and your fiancé's top priorities.
OBSESSED WITH YOUR LEGACY: It's 100% true that your wedding is about you... but your family matters too. I'm a chronic over-deliverer when it comes to wedding photos, and #sorrynotsorry - because I want you to have countless memories to look back on. I'll take a photo of mom and her high school friends, and follow your grandparents around the dance floor to capture those sweet moments that would otherwise be gone in a flash. You can expect to receive around 1200 photos in your wedding gallery!

you need to know about me
My husband Josh and I have been married since 2013 and have a full house with our two kids and our sweet pup Ellee! And while we’re talking about Josh, you should know that he owns and operates one of the top DJ companies in Columbus - Josh Staley Productions. We absolutely love working in the wedding industry together and making our couples' wedding days the best ever!
My husband Josh and I both work full-time in the wedding industry!
I grew up in Virginia, surrounded by mountains and beaches... and if I had the chance would cut and paste Ohio out of the midwest, I'd do it. I could sit for hours just staring at a beautiful landscape, reflecting on how gorgeous God's creation is. My favorite locations are the warmest ones... but I'm up for anything!
I love the desert, the beach, mountaintops... anywhere with a view.
I’m obsessed with iced coffee (I’ll take it from Starbucks please, a venti cold brew with vanilla cold foam), and will almost definitely stop there to fuel up for your wedding day. You may also get a Starbucks gift card from me along the way!
Iced coffee fuels my wedding days
