lAURA & MATTHEW

July was such a busy month, the busiest we’ve had this year.  We started the month, still in Minnesota on vacation, visiting family and friends.  Matthew’s mom took John and Grace too a really wonderful zoo (Hemker Zoo) where the kids could feed the birds, otters and even the giraffes! We then spent the 4th […]

This past Saturday, on the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, Caroline and Dale were married in Steubenville, OH at Holy Family Catholic Church.  Though their day started with clouds and rain, nothing could dampen the joy that their wedding day was finally here! One of my favorite parts of the day is being in […]

When Isabella and Eric asked if we could go on a little adventure for their engagement session, I immediately looked at Matthew and “YES!! Of course!” We love when our couples come up with unique and special places for their engagement sessions! On Saturday we drove up to the cutest little town on Lake Erie […]

Caroline and Dale met a few summers back while both serving on Totus Tuus teams in Cincinnati.  Their friendship began to form that summer and eventually that friendship grew deeper, into love.  They both went to college at Franciscan University of Steubenville so it was the perfect setting for their engagement session.  Fun fact about […]

Alexa and Matt first met just down the road from where we began their engagement session. So when I suggested we use the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY for the first location of their session, they loved the idea.  Matthew and I ALSO loved the idea since this is actually where WE had our […]

On an exceptionally gorgeous day, the last day of July, Deb and Mike were married in the stunning St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Steubenville, OH.  They had originally planned on having a May wedding in Georgia but like most 2020 couples their plans had to change. Though the location and date changed, Deb still had […]

This past Saturday Iliana and Aaron were married in a beautiful and intimate ceremony in Steubenville, OH. Their wedding Mass was in the iconic Portiuncula Chapel at Franciscan University and their reception was at the local favorite Leonardo’s Coffeehouse. Iliana and Aaron’s engagement session was so much fun, so I knew their wedding day was […]

Monica and Mitchell‘s day was filled with sunshine, joy, happy tears and an overwhelming sense of God’s peace. They, like so many 2020 couples, had to adjust their wedding plans, again and again….and then again. But despite all that 2020 threw their way, they had a gorgeous wedding day and now they are married!  Praise […]

God is a God of details.  He cares about our happiness, in both the big and the little things.  Catie and Brennan’s relationship is a testament to God’s faithfulness to the big and small details of our life. They met in college, at Franciscan University of Steubenville, through a mutual friend. Brennan proposed on the […]

This love story was 30 years in the making.  Franciscan University of Steubenville is an incredibly special place and many many marriages come from students meeting and falling in love there.  Two wonderful couples met and were married almost 30 years ago at Christ the King Chapel on campus. Katie’s parents, Chris and Joy Irvin […]
