A collection of love stories

Welcome to my blog! Well…. I really like to think of it as a collection of short stories. The sweetest moments from those stories. The highlights.

Here I share small peeks into one chapter of the books I’ve been privileged to witness, capture and share with the world. I also have volumes of planning advice, a rolodex of fellow wedding vendors I love to work with and the occasional journal entry from my own personal diary, just so you can get a little insight into who I am as a human, a mom and a photographer. I hope you stay a while, find a story you can connect with, a character who makes you giggle and a happy ending that makes you shed a tear.

Kaile + Lumpy / Wedding

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Hocking Hills, Ohio, a story of love unfolded. Kaile and Lumpy, both talented tattoo artists from Tat-2-U in Lima, Ohio, decided to celebrate their love with an intimate and unique wedding that perfectly captured their personalities. Surrounded by close family and friends, as well as fellow tattoo artists from their shop, their wedding was a memorable affair filled with love, laughter, and personal touches.


The Setting

Hocking Hills, with its breathtaking natural beauty, provided the perfect backdrop for this unconventional union. The lush forests, striking rock formations, and cascading waterfalls were a stark contrast to the ink-covered lives of Kaile and Lumpy, creating a setting that was both stunning and symbolic of their shared journey.


The Atmosphere

One word can sum up the atmosphere at Kaile and Lumpy's wedding: casual. The couple opted for a relaxed, laid-back vibe, steering clear of the traditional pomp and circumstance. They exchanged their vows in a simple, heartfelt ceremony that truly resonated with their personalities.


Taking the Plunge

As the evening continued, the celebration took an unexpected turn when Kaile and Lumpy decided to jump into the Airbnb's pool. This spontaneous and carefree moment captured the essence of their relationship - a love that's not afraid to take a plunge, no matter how deep.


The Love Story Continues

Kaile and Lumpy's wedding was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to the beauty of love in its raw and authentic form. Their love story continues, and it serves as an inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to witness the union of these two tattoo artists. It's a reminder that love knows no boundaries and can be as vibrant and unique as the ink they craft on their canvas.


As the sun set over the rolling hills of Hocking Hills, Ohio, it was clear that Kaile and Lumpy's love would continue to grow and evolve, just as their tattoos do. It's a love story that will forever be etched in the hearts of all who shared in their special day.
