Two years ago, I photographed Chloe, Tatum’s older sister. When mom contacted me about photographing Tatum for her senior year, I was surprised that it had been two years already. Like Chloe, we went to the Short North, but the last thing I wanted to do was anything that we’d done with Chloe! Tatum is her own special young woman and nothing would do but to showcase her apart from her sister, so we did just that. Have a look.
This is the second year in a row I’ve photographed Nikki and Nathan and Joey, although I did photograph Nikki and Nathan’s wedding a long time ago. This time, they have moved way far away to the beautiful countryside and, although it was windy as all get out for our shoot, we braved the elements for just long enough to take a wagon ride and play in some leaves and eat sticks. Then it was into the house to jump on the bed! Yay!
Kristin was the maid of honor in Melissa and Tom’s wedding, which I photographed way back in 2007, and I’ve seen Kristin at various events/parties I’ve photographed for Melissa over the years since then. When she contacted me about photographing her own wedding, I couldn’t have been happier. I met up with her and Joe and learned that they also work at a place where I worked a long time ago and that we know a lot of the same people. It was crazy, all the connections we had.
And their wedding plans were right up my alley. I always love it when my couples do something outside the ordinary. Kristin and Joe were having their ceremony and reception on Halloween at Everal Barn, catered by City Barbecue (my favorite!), and their main focus was that their guests have a wonderful time, which they did. There was an after-party at Old Bag of Nails in Westerville, complete with a photo booth with amazing masks, and some guests even showed up in costume.
It was a lovely wedding, filled with a lot of love and laughter. Let’s look at pictures, shall we?
