Anniversary

One year ago, these two were married under a beautiful canopy of trees in a Disney-inspired wedding at Rapid Creek Cidery. I still get swoony when I look back at that day. The florals that draped over practically everything (including floral crowns for all the bridesmaids!), that masterpiece of a cake that was the statement […]

Anniversary

One year ago, we celebrated their wedding on a beautiful, summery Friday afternoon.

Family & Kids

I’d have to go back and calculate, but I think I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Ohloff family almost every year since I first met them back when the girls were little. I have had the pleasure of photographing Elizabeth and Seth’s engagement, wedding, and multiple family sessions since then (here, here, here, here, […]
