A glimpse into my second year as a wedding content creator in Columbus, Ohio

If my first year as a wedding content creator in Columbus was about figuring things out, my second year was about finding my rhythm. Reflecting on this past year, it felt less like surviving and more like intentionally building something I’m proud of. I learned not only how to better serve my couples and vendor teams, but also how to trust myself in a role that’s still relatively new to the wedding industry.

Here’s a glimpse into what my year looked like:

DECEMBER

• Documented a Christmas wedding at The Westin (it was magic) for one of the sweetest couples.
• Heard from another local magazine… stay tuned!

In year one, I often second-guessed myself. This year, I walked into weddings with a crystal clear understanding of my purpose. I knew how to blend seamlessly into the day, anticipate moments before they happened, and work alongside photographers and planners in a way that felt collaborative rather than cautious.

As I move forward, I’m incredibly grateful for the couples who trusted me with one of the biggest days of their lives, for the vendors who welcomed me as part of the team, and for the lessons that pushed me to grow both creatively and personally.

Here’s to continuing to evolve, to telling love stories in real time, and to creating meaningful wedding content in Columbus for years to come.
