ForeHope Champagne Breakfast – with Urban Meyer at Muirfield CC

It’s no secret that I’m a huge Buckeye fan. It’s also no secret that I photograph a number of events throughout the year that give me up close and personal opportunities to photograph people I admire and events held for worthwhile causes.

ForeHope’s annual Champagne Breakfast at Muirfield Country Club was one such worthwhile event, held on ProAm day at the Memorial Tournament. ForeHope provides assistance to golfers with disabilities and was established by the indefatigable Mindy Derr 25 years ago in honor of her father.

This year’s event was hosted by Bill Kelly and Clay Hall of ABC6 and featured Urban Meyer as keynote speaker and an auction with great and valuable Buckeye memorabilia, OSU tour packages, and golf packages at both Muirfield and Scioto Country Club. It was a fabulously successful event, so have a look at the pictures.

Amy and Chris – a Hilton Head Island, SC Wedding

There’s not much more I can say about this wonderfully lovely family that I haven’t already said when I photographed Sara’s wedding, then Sara’s first baby, then Laura’s wedding, and then Sara’s two kids, and Laura’s little boy, and now we come to Amy, the third and last daughter to be married.

Amy’s wedding to Chris took place at the Sonesta Resort on beautiful Hilton Head Island, lush and beautiful and green and humid and hot and sandy and perfect. Amy and Chris work as attorneys in Chicago, and both of their grandfathers – themselves judges – helped officiate the ceremony on the beach alongside the local officiant. And the random beachgoers. Can’t have a beach wedding without random beachgoers/spectators.

The whole day was extra special, with friends and family from afar and a touching dance with Amy and her grandparents that made me teary when I photographed it and just as teary when I processed it. This is one special family. See for yourself.

Katherine, Chris and Nathan at Park of Roses

I love it when my wedding clients who live far away come back into town to visit family and make time to have pictures done with me! Such was the case with Katherine, Chris and Nathan, who I’d not yet met. What a sweet little boy! He is so cute and adorable and loved the swings at the Park of Roses.
