About me . . .

Sarah and Don – First United Methodist / Inn at Ohio Northern University wedding

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Sarah and Don came to me by way of Erika and Jeremy, whose wedding I photographed three years ago now. I can’t believe how time flies. Slow down, already!

Anyway, Sarah and Don had a lovely and intimate wedding in Sarah’s hometown of Kenton, with their reception at The Inn at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. I’d never been to either town before and was greeted in Kenton by a huge parade. Way to welcome me!

The day was filled with lots of family and close friends and a whole lot of love. The weather even cleared in time for the ceremony and we had those intense blue skies of September. It was just beautiful.

Let’s look at some pictures.

Congratulations, Sarah and Don!

Aliza and Ben – Tifereth Israel wedding and The Westin reception

Monday, September 19, 2011

I love Jewish weddings. Maybe it’s because of the ceremonies within the ceremony or because everyone dances at the reception. Who knows? What I do know, though, is that when I have wonderful families to shoot for, it makes for a great wedding and great pictures.

Aliza and Ben live in North Carolina but were married at Congregation Tifereth Israel, with their reception in the ballroom at The Westin. I started first with the rehearsal dinner at Ben’s parents’ house and then got to document Ben and his groomsmen having straight-razor shaves at Mug & Brush. If you’re not familiar, Mug & Brush is an old-timey barbershop with lots of funky memorabilia on the walls and uber-hip tattooed young barbers. In other words, it was lots of photographer eye candy.

And, despite the pouring rain on my way to The Westin to photograph the girls getting ready, the weather cleared up nicely and we were able to do outdoor bride/groom portraits.

It was a really wonderful wedding, and here is the proof:

Sarah and Matt – maternity session

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

The Real Life Forever portrait program I offer all my wedding clients has again provided me with a lovely opportunity to see and photograph some of my favorite people I’ve worked with. Six years ago, I photographed Sarah and Matt’s wedding, and a couple weeks ago I photographed them on the cusp of celebrating the birth of their first child. I can’t wait to meet their new little one and make more photographs to add to their family history.

Be sure to take advantage of the Real Life Forever portrait program!! And, in the meantime, look at these beautiful pictures from Sarah’s maternity session.
