Katie and Travis

I had a blast with Katie and Travis on Monday, shooting their engagement session in the Short North. As I told them upon my arrival, my personal challenge for their session was to shoot in locations I’d not used before. Sometimes it’s easy to go to the same place because it has a lot to offer, but it’s also sometimes easy to do the same things over and over, so I like to try to keep things fresh by looking through “new eyes”, so to speak.

Anyway, we had a ball. They were so much fun to work with and we really had a great time making some beautiful photographs. Here are a few of my favorites:

My niece, Melissa

I recently had the pleasure of taking my niece Melissa’s senior pictures. Hard to believe she’s a senior in high school!! And WOW is she gorgeous! See for yourself:

Congratulations, Melissa!!

Suzi and Adam

August 11 was another hot, muggy day, but it didn’t dampen any spirits or any of the great energy surrounding the wedding celebration of Suzi and Adam! We started the day with a typically gorgeous ceremony at St. Joseph Cathedral, arguably the most beautiful church we have here in Central Ohio. All 12 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, and Suzi and Adam’s families were great troopers in the heat as we captured some great images at Franklin Park Conservatory. From there we went to the Hilton at Easton for a lovely reception, complete with beautiful details and heartfelt toasts. It was a beautiful day!

Here are a few of my many favorites:

We start with this amazing image from Melissa of Suzi hiding behind a wall of bridesmaids to get into the waiting room before walking down the aisle. Magical!

This is one of my favorite shots from the ceremony.

Guests, bestowing their blessing upon the couple.

Is this great light or what?!

It was stinkin’ hot out and this image pretty much sums it up!

The cake detail was stunning!

Love this unique centerpiece!

Melissa caught this great moment during Suzi and Adam’s first dance. Sweet!

The band totally rocked and the dance floor was packed all night. Love this behind-the-scenes shot!

Congratulations, Suzi and Adam!!
