Uncle Bob vs A Professional Wedding Photographer

Saw this absolutely wonderful and on-point blog post from ISPWP (of which I’m a member!) on choosing between “Uncle Bob” and a professional wedding photographer for your wedding.  I especially love the chart highlighting the important differences and I’m sure there are a lot of things on this list that brides don’t know to consider, so I thought I’d share that great post here.

Uncle Bob vs A Professional Wedding Photographer

Wakeboarding on the Sandusky River

Oh no, not me, but Ken of Alyson and Ken, one of my June wedding couples. When Ken called me up a month ago and asked if I’d come up to the Sandusky River to photograph him doing wakeboard tricks, I admit I was nervous. While I shoot fast-moving events for a living, I’m not usually on a fast-moving boat while I’m doing it. I’m also not a swimmer or a sports shooter, so that’s three strikes right off the bat. However, Ken’s a man with a plan and it was all smooth sailing, you could say. We warmed up with Ken’s brother and friends, and then Ken took his turn. It was a really great time – I had an absolute blast – and would do it again in a minute. I loved being out on the boat and the river was beautiful with the golden sunlight, even if it was in the 90s!

Here’s a look at my foray into sports shooting while bracing myself on the engine compartment of a chase boat:














Misty and Dan – Columbus Athenaeum wedding

I always love shooting at The Columbus Athenaeum and was thrilled to be there for Misty and Dan’s wedding held in the Priory and the Olympian Ballroom a couple Saturdays ago. Misty was beautiful in her very unique gown and the wedding was just a wonderful time all around.

Let’s look at some pictures!

The ceremony was performed by Dan’s aunt.

If you look closely, you can see that the only part of this guy that’s touching the floor is his tie!

Congratulations, Misty and Dan!!
