Jacquelyn & Luke's dog-friendly wedding


Hi friends! I’m an Ohio wedding photographer capturing down to earth, adventurous, and wildly-in-love couples all across this beautiful state. Whether you’re saying your vows on a mountaintop, in the middle of the forest, or at your favorite brewery with your dog by your side - I’m here for the real moments and the people that matter most. From charming small towns to hidden gems in nature, Ohio has some truly incredible wedding spots, and I love getting to explore them with my couples.


There's something extra special about couples who fully embrace what makes their day theirs and Jacquelyn and Luke's wedding at Brewdog in Canal Winchester was the perfect example of that. From the start, one thing was non-negotiable: their sweet dog, Chance, had to be there. And luckily, BrewDog was the perfect venue for that. Not only is it a brewery, but it’s also a dog-friendly hotel where your pup can stay with you - yes, even overnight! It’s one of those rare places where four-legged family members are just as welcome as the two-legged kind.


Jacquelyn and Luke were such a fun, laid-back couple to work with, and their whole day reflected that easygoing joy. They got ready surrounded by their parents and closest friends, shared a quiet moment for a first touch and private vow reading, and then had Chance join them dressed in the cutest tuxedo bandana. From the dog-themed cake topper to the dog treats guests got to take home, this wedding was full of personal touches that felt completely them. After their ceremony, which thankfully stayed dry despite the fall rain, they toasted their marriage contract with a beer (very on-brand for a brewery wedding), and celebrated with a lively dance floor that concluded with a quiet, romantic private last dance for just the two of them.


It was the perfect mix of fun, sentimental, and uniquely theirs!
