On a beautiful July Saturday, I had the joy of photographing at wedding at Apostolic Assembly in Mineral Ridge, Ohio. The church, with its historic charm and warm light, provided the perfect setting for this couple to exchange vows surrounded by family and friends.


One of my favorite details from their day was the florals—handmade and perfectly crafted. From the bride’s bouquet to the reception details, every arrangement felt thoughtful and romantic.


After the ceremony, we headed to two of my favorite portrait locations in the area: Niles McKinley Library.  It was the perfect combination of nature and art—timeless and beautiful, just like the couple.


Every part of their day reflected intention and joy, and I’m so grateful to have been the one to document it.
