Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Chris Aram, and this is my personal blog, which is mostly what happens when I'm behind a lense doing what I really enjoy: making awesome pictures, capturing awesome moments and working with awesome people!

Speaking of awesome things I enjoy, I am happily married to my beautiful wife and really enjoy spending time with her, our newborn son and our family and friends. Throw in a little PS3, music and eating (too much sometimes), and you've got a pretty good idea of what I like to do.

If you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail at chrisaram@hotmail.com or by phone at 614.973.9599.

Please check out my full online portfolio for more details!

    Father of a bride just called to tell me how happy they all were with their daughter's wedding pictures. That really makes my morning. :D

Jackie and AJ : Married

August 16, 2010

You might remember Jackie and AJ from their killer engagement session on Ohio State campus, where Jackie attended university. Jackie and AJ just have this natural mojo in front of a camera together and I really enjoyed shooting their engagement pictures with them – they had plenty of great ideas and made em all rock! :)

So a few short months later, their big day arrived. They were married at the beautiful High Street United Methodist church in Springfield, with the reception following at the nearby Marriott.

It felt easy to take pictures of a couple this totally in love with each other. ;-) And now, a few of my favorites! :D

Thanks for allowing me to share in your wedding day celebration, Jackie and AJ – I had a blast! Congratulations and a lifetime of love to you both! :D

Awesome pictures of an awesome wedding – these and hundreds more available now!

Sarah and Nate : Married!

August 10, 2010

Sarah and Nate were joined by their family and friends at NorthPointe for an emotional, poignant, fun-filled wedding day. And they, and their guests, just took over the dance floor like I have never seen. ;-)

I loved that their wedding felt so personally theirs; everything from the main event to the table decorations and favors. And that’s just about all I have to say about this amazing couple and their amazing wedding. Sometimes, I just gotta shut it and hope that my pictures will tell this wonderful story much better than I can put into words. :D

Long-time readers of my blog know that I am a huge fan of the private “first look” …

Because there shouldn’t be anything “formal” about a formal portrait …

Sarah and Nate wanted to dance with both of their mothers … one of about a hundred things that I loved about their entire day together. ;-)

Best.

Bouquet toss.

Ever! :D

Helloooo beautiful backlight! :)

Thank you for making me a part of your amazing wedding day, Sarah and Nate! Congrats and a lifetime of love to you both!!! :)

Luisa and Gordon : Married!

August 9, 2010

Luisa and Gordon were married on the beautiful Kenyon College campus – easily one of the prettiest venues I have ever shot. “Beautiful” is also a word I would use to describe their wedding day and Luisa and Gordon’s love for each other! :) Following their super-fun German Village engagement shoot, I’ve really been looking forward to photographing their wedding – and it did not disappoint!

If a picture’s worth a thousand words, how about a couple dozen of them? :D

Often when I am shooting the “formal” portraits I ask people to “do something crazy” or unexpected; whatever comes to mind. Their wedding party came up with some pretty comical stuff … ;-)

I could’ve posted a hundred pictures of Luisa and Gordon dancing. They made it look like so. Much. Fun!

Congratulations and a lifetime of love to you both! Thank you for the opportunity to share in your day together! :D

Check out hundreds more from Luisa and Gordon’s wedding day; order a print or two if you’d like!

It’s 11:21 PM … Do You Know Where Your Pictures Are?

July 28, 2010

If you’re wondering where … well, they’re a-comin’. I promise. I’ve been working into the early morning just about every day this week and am nearly delirious from lack of sleep and excessive caffeine intake, but I don’t tell you this to elicit your pity. :) I love what I do, even if it means I spend less time at Bedside Baptist than I would like to.

I’ve been finishing processing a buncha’ beautiful weddings, engagement shoots and designing a few albums to boot; I hope to blog each and every one within the next few weeks. So until then, because every post is better with a picture, here’s a favorite from my recent shoot with Selvi and Lamar … an awesome, fun couple who made it an equally awesome, fun shoot:

Be back soon. :D
