The day after my sister’s wedding, I headed back out east – although this time not so far – to Pickerington to shoot the birthday party for friends of mine from my days at the Vorys law firm. Rob, the birthday girl Melanie’s husband, really did it up, from all kinds of delectable goodies to balloons and an embarrassing slideshow filled with prom dresses and big hair, to the gift of a Big Wheel. The party was great fun and here is some proof:
Happy birthday, Melanie!
Well, now that everyone in Rayland and Brilliant has seen my sister Susan’s wedding dress, I can finally post some images from the bridal session we did back at the beginning of March. You’ll see in the last images how good a sport Susan is in trusting me to “do” her hair and make-up, and not in a conventional way. I thought she looked great no matter, and it was fun sending them via phone to Ryan, teasing that this was going to be her wedding-day look.
Last Saturday, I drove out to literally the midde of nowhere to photograph my youngest sister Susan’s wedding to Ryan, who fits in with our family almost like he was born into (but not quite, because that would be weird, not to mention illegal). More often than not, as may be with a lot of families, most times I bring a camera around, my siblings and my mom, especially, stick their hands up in front of their faces or stick out their tongues, making getting a good clean image of them practically impossible. Trust me, they were all warned months ago that doing this at Susan’s wedding was a no-no, and I’m happy to report that everyone complied.
I had a lot of fun hanging out with my sister and combining sisterly duties with my photographer duties, and was really pleased that my parents got to see me in action doing a job I’m very proud of and lucky to have.
Let’s look at some pictures.
Congratulations, baby sister!
