Jackie and AJ : Married
Posted on 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! 
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!
Awesome pictures of an awesome wedding – these and hundreds more available now!

Sarah and Nate : Married!
Posted on 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.
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!
Helloooo beautiful backlight!

Luisa and Gordon : Married!
Posted on 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? …
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!
Check out hundreds more from Luisa and Gordon’s wedding day; order a print or two if you’d like!

Jenna and Andy : Married!
Posted on July 8, 2010
Jenna and Andy are such a sweet couple. Not only do they look great together but there is a profound spirit of kindness and love for one another, a quality that felt so obvious to me throughout the time we spent together. It’s hard to put into words! I was privileged to photograph their beautiful wedding ceremony at Emmanuel Catholic Church in downtown Dayton, OH, and the reception that followed at the Roberts Center in Wilmington.
Where words fail me, I like to think that my camera doesn’t. And since I was there to photograph their wedding and not talk about it, shall we look at some pictures?
Yes, we shall.
As your wedding photographer, I am *very* partial to the first look. And I do understand not wanting to see each other until you walk down the aisle in front of your guests! Really, I do get it. But not only is a private first look an opportunity to see each other in an arguably more intimate setting, it’s also a great opportunity for some awesome photos. That’s my two cents on the topic – and here is Jenna and Andy’s first look:
I had a blast shooting your wedding, Jenna and Andy! Thank you for making me a part of your special day together; congratulations again and a lifetime of love to you both!

Kaylee and Eli : Married!
Posted on July 7, 2010
I first met Kaylee and Eli via email when introduced by her brother Kevin, whom my wife works with. What a small world! They live in Pittsburgh but were married at the beautiful Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley, with the reception following at the Venue at Smith Brothers.
Yeesh, where to begin? I had an absurdly difficult time choosing pictures to blog; there were just too many. Kaylee and Eli are just fun together. They are such fun people and a fun couple! More than their beautiful relationship and their family and friends who shared in their wedding day, I also loved every detail of the celebration – from the beautiful venues, to the flowers, the table settings, the menu, (with mucho credit to Amy Dison for masterfully coordinating it all! Brides and grooms, drop her a line – you will be so glad you did!)
Finally, as a photographer, I like that Kaylee and Eli chose to devote some extra time to shooting a few portraits together (more on this in a future post.) If I could encourage every couple that I work with … this is time well spent! It isn’t every day you’ll look this great together and it’s worth taking a few extra minutes to remember it by!
Is it picture time now? Yes, it is. Look, and be glad.
Congratulations and a lifetime of love to you both, Kaylee and Eli! I had an awesome time at your wedding!
