It’s too early for the fall edition of Columbus Bride magazine to hit the newsstands, but since the ad deadline is tomorrow and I just finished mine up, I thought I’d share. This image is from Lindsay and Andrew’s May 2010 wedding at The Lakes. I love how happy they are as they come back up the aisle, and Andrew’s thumbs-up seals the deal.
A couple of really hot Saturdays ago, Andrew and I got to photograph Leah and David’s wedding at The Blackwell on the OSU campus. It was a beautiful day and the festivities started early, a boon since the forecast for their outdoor wedding was for temperatures hovering around 90. And, of course, with the ever-attendant Ohio humidity.
However, I started with Leah and David and a hundred or so of their closest family and friends at Columbus Square Bowling Palace for their unconventional rehearsal dinner. As soon as they’d told me their bowling plan in our initial meeting, I was very excited. Who does a bowling party for their rehearsal dinner?? I loved it. And it turned out to be a really fantastic party. Everyone got into the bowling and it was very fun to photograph. I really enjoyed seeing everyone again the next day for the wedding – it was like we were old friends already!
We started on Saturday with photographs around the Fisher College of Business, where Leah and David met, and then by a major stroke of luck we were able to get into OSU stadium – the one and only photo request Leah absolutely wanted.
Then back to The Blackwell where everything was coordinated by the uber fabulous Blaire Blechinger, and the outdoor patio ceremony officiated by family friend DeeAnn, who became ordained just to be able to marry Leah and David.
OK, enough blabbing – let’s look at some pictures.

DeeAnn wrote out all the words to the ceremony in this journal as a gift to Leah and David.

And this is what I got.

Congratulations, Leah and David!
Last Saturday, Andrew and I traveled up to Sandusky and Port Clinton for the wedding and reception of Alyson and Ken, who I met at Megan and Nik’s wedding two years ago. Alyson and Ken had their reception at Camp Perry as well, and I love that the beach is right outside the door – makes for lots of impromptu opportunities for portraits whenever the light is right, which, in the evening on the lake, is often.
The wedding was in Sandusky at Old Calvary, a gorgeous old church that was converted to a weddings-only chapel, where all the proceeds from each event are donated to local charities. What a great way to give back!
Time for pictures!
