Condom Couture 2011 – Shadowbox Theater

It was an honor and a privilege to photograph Condom Couture in 2010, and an even bigger honor and privilege to be asked back to photograph the event for this year.  My dear friend Karen and I had a fantastic time photographing the models being made up (by the uber-talented Tim Mauer of Mukha) and fitted by their amazingly talented designers, students of fashion design at CCAD who used 800 condoms to make the fashionable garments.

The venue this year was Shadowbox Theater’s new space down on Front Street and it was awesome.  The people who operate Shadowbox were great to work with and put on one hell of a show.  Loved the live band this year!

Enough jawing; let’s look at some pictures!

Melissa and Tom’s family – Short North portrait session

I love getting together every fall to document Melissa and Tom’s growing family:  seeing how the kids have changed from the prior year (which, at their ages, is quite a bit!), and enjoying the company of some of my favorite wedding clients – it’s a great tradition.  This year, we met up in the Short North on a picture-perfect October day and simply wandered around, ending up at Jeni’s (as all shoots should!).  Kids and ice cream:  a fantastic combination!

Courtney and Justin – First Community Church wedding / Station 67 reception

You know how you meet some people and you feel like you’ve known them for years?  That’s the way I felt when I met Courtney and Justin for the first time – like we were old friends already.  You know it’s going to be a good match when that happens, and I was glad to get to spend lots of time with them when they were in from Cincinnati for their Columbus wedding:  at baby Jackson’s baptism, the rehearsal and then on the wedding day.  They told me their families and friends were fun and they did not lie.

So, have a look at some pictures:

Congratulations, Courtney and Justin!!
