Winter Wedding at The Westin // Beth & Steven

We kicked off our 2014 wedding season with a fantastic couple. Their remarkable families have a devout faith in God and a love for family that we rarely get to see. They bridged two continents to make this happen. Stephen and Beth grew their relationship, long distance, between Ohio and England.

Being so far apart is quite limiting of their face-to-face time, so Steven proposed at Christmas and they decided on a fairly short engagement. They planned and executed a truly spectacular event in just two short months.Despite their narrow time frame to pull it all together, their special day left nothing to be desired. 

Elegant flare, beautiful style, amazing accents, DIY details, along with special tributes from family across the pond, personal family traditional  blessings, delicious food and lots of music and dancing. It was the perfect beginning to what we hope is an adventurous season for us and our wonderfully unique couples.

Thanks so much, Steven & Beth. It's always an honor for us to document such a treasured occasion. Many blessings to you both and your families!

Rustic Ohio Same Sex Summer Wedding // Brady and Kyle

Some of you locals may recognize Brady Konya, of Middle West Spirits here in Columbus, Ohio, and his awesome partner, Kyle Boettcher. We had the incredible privilege of photographing one of the most heartfelt and moving ceremonies that we have experienced. 

Every once in a while, we get hired for a job and show up to shoot knowing very little about the couple. We do our job and then go home happy. What we love about so many of our couples (and our continuing hope for our clients) is that they let us into their lives. They consider us friends. They treat us as guests, while we work. 

Kyle and Brady are not only kind and supportive of one another, they are kind and supportive to so many of those whom they come into contact with. This day was no exception, considering they invited everyone that attended. Ha!

Their eye for art, design & beauty is unparalleled. (But don't take our word for it. See for yourselves.)

It was certainly a joy to be there for such an important occasion for them, while doing what we love.

Congrats, guys.--Val

Being around these two guys is unbelievably refreshing. There is no pretense, just plain old genuine love. Brady and Kyle were married at a private home in Granville, Ohio near Columbus. We can't believe they were able to design and plan this type of event given their very busy lives, one working as a senior manager for Abercrombie and Fitch and the other owning and operating Middle West Spirits, a micro distillery in the Short North district of Columbus. They pulled it off with ease, with no help from the weather.--Levi
