Amanda and Ernesto – Columbus, Ohio wedding

Monday, August 17, 2009 Posted in Columbus Athenaeum,Columbus Ohio Photographer,Weddings

I knew from Amanda and Ernesto’s engagement session that the wedding would be hot hot hot. Of course, we had plenty of hot weather, thanks to the heat wave returning to Ohio just in time for their wedding, but the hot hot hot I’m referring to especially means all the sparks flying between Amanda and Ernesto. Wow. We began the day in Amanda’s hotel room at the Hyatt on Capitol Square, ran across the street for some quicky portraits, then on to Holy Cross Catholic Church for their beautiful ceremony full of love and traditions of Ernesto’s Mexican heritage. Then it was on to the Large Theatre at The Athenaeum for the reception, where the dancing was at fever pitch and oh so beautiful. At times, it was all I could do to shoot it – I was so mesmerized by Amanda and Ernesto’s sultry – and perfect! – dancing that I found myself just wanting to watch, it was so beautiful! You could definitely tell that they’d shut out the entire world when they were dancing with each other.

But, enough rambling – you want to see pictures!!

Congratulations, Amanda and Ernesto, and thank you for having us share your day!!

Chase and Family

Sunday, August 9, 2009 Posted in Babies,Columbus Ohio Photographer,Families

How lucky I am to have such wonderful clients who love what I’ve done for them enough to send me their friends! This is how I met Sarah, Rick and their delightful new family member, Chase. Sarah came to me through Stephanie and Greg, and we hit it off immediately, so I knew we were going to have a great time together.

I like to shoot portraits the same way I shoot weddings and engagement sessions: totally natural, with only a minimum of direction, with the focus on relationships and interactions. As you’ll see from these images, I like to get just as close with portraits as I do on a wedding day! Close, close, close – it’s how you get the good stuff!!

So, on to the show!

I love how babies can be soooo serious.



Chase’s first foray into the grass.

This, I understand from Sarah, is “The Look”.

Daddy’s home!

Time for lots of smooches and cuddling.

Easily the world’s cutest baby hair.

Thank you so much, Sarah, Rick and Chase, for allowing me to photograph your beautiful new family!

And if those of you out there are ready for your close-up, give me a call to set up your session!

Bryan and David – Columbus, Ohio wedding

A week ago Sunday I had the great good pleasure of photographing the wedding and reception of Bryan and David, which took place at North Bank Park. It was a beautiful evening, full of love and laughter, and those nice dramatic clouds that make for a beautiful backdrop. I had a fabulous time hanging out with Bryan and David and their friends and family, and look forward to the possibility of seeing them again in September at Amy and Spencer’s wedding.

Here are some of my favorites (again, hard to choose!!!):

David’s brother, warming up. His sister performed the ceremony.

See what I mean about the sky??

A card we found along the way to do some portraits.

The cake was amazing!

Lots of clinking on glassware.

David’s sister wiping off the damage from the cake cutting.

The first dance.

Dancing with mom to an old Carpenters song. I haven’t heard one of their songs in years!

Bryan’s mom and sister.

Congratulations, Bryan and David! I was thrilled to be part of your celebration!
