Tom and Mara – there are not enough words to describe this sweet and energetic couple!! They are passionate about each other and completely in love not to mention they were thrilled to be getting married! This wedding was perfect start to finish! We love this special family!! This wedding was very special to us because four of the bridal party members either were or will be one of our brides + grooms! We are honored to photograph all our couples’ weddings and we love each one as well as their families! But when we were invited to photograph all the siblings weddings too, then we knew that we were truly loved!

Tom + Mara, we wish you all the best and thank you for making us a part of your wedding day!! ~ Tim + Sasha

Any other details unique to your wedding -

• “My father is a certified marriage commissioner and is performing our ceremony at my request.
• Our groom’s cake is created to mimic Tom’s grandfather’s antique fire helmet from the NYFD in the 1930’s.  It is a nod to Tom’s career as a firefighter.”

A little bit about you two, and how your wedding reflects who you are -

“We are an easy-going , fun-loving couple who hold our friends and family close to our hearts. We wanted an occasion that reflected our personalities, and included those close to us.”

We had so much fun walking around downtown Columbus, Ohio with Lauren + Chance! They are crazy about each other and photographing them was so much fun!!! We cannot wait to see them next year and celebrate their marriage!

I love working with Tim and seeing the different ways in which we see the same situation! This is my angle…

And this one is Tim’s…love it!!

Last month we teamed up with Dickie Morris who is the owner of just a little ditty… She brought her latest fall ditty bags and along with props from Ben Morris of Stonegate Event Rentals and our gorgeous model Mallory we had a fantastic evening! We hope that you will enjoy these inspiring images but also please stop by their awesome sites and see how they might be a part of your wedding day or any other special occasion!

Thank you to everyone who made this shoot a success and we cannot wait to work with you again!
