Handpicked with Heart by Yours Truly—So You Can Stress Less + Dream Bigger
Planning your wedding should feel like popping champagne—not drowning in spreadsheets or guessing your way through vendor lists. You’ve got bold ideas, big feelings, and zero desire to play it safe. That’s where I come in.
As a wedding (and boudoir) photographer in Northeast Ohio, I’ve had the absolute joy of working with some of the most talented, wildly creative, and kind-hearted vendors in the game. And because I believe in no-gatekeeping and full transparency, I’m sharing my go-to dream team with you—like I would if we were curled up on a couch, wine glass in hand.
This isn’t a random roundup. These are the people who’ve weathered the chaos with grace, showed up early, calmed nerves, made magic out of Plan Bs, and always—always—put love first.
Let’s meet them. And yes—save their names. You’ll thank yourself later.
