Jamie and Andy - Engagement

Andy and Jamie joined us at Pearson Park in Oregon last night for and Engagement Session. It was looking a little rainy (it actually was raining in BG when we were leaving), but it blew over and turned out to be perfect for photos. They are the most adorable couple! They said they would do whatever we wanted and were good sports, even when I kept making Andy take his shoes and socks off to get the shot I wanted...We had been to Pearson a few times before but this time we found some things we never had before, including a vintage London-style phone booth!! I was so excited, it was stinking cute and Andy said it so fit Jamie...I'm sure Eric wouldn't say the same about me right? We are so excited to do their wedding photography in October!!

3 month Baby Session - P. and A.

Last night we had a 3 month baby session for our friends twins. They are the cutest little things. They will actually not be 3 mo. until next week but we were trying to squeeze it in quick. We had a great time! They were so well behaved, which is usually pretty normal. A. believes that she is a supermodel in training and vogues for the camera. They are very photogenic (they take after Auntie Nicole) and liked watching Eric take photos. I can't wait until the photos are done so everyone can see how adorable they are!

Emily and Adrian - Wedding

Emily and Adrian were married today, in Port Clinton, very early. We all know what a morning person I am....Eric drug me out of bed anyway with the promise of cini-mini's and boy was it worth it! We had a great day with them and it was so nice out. Emily looked like a 1940's Hollywood glam movie star, she was gorgeous. So, even though we were running a little behind I am so happy that they let me convince them to go to the lighthouse for some couple photos. Not only did we get some great ones, it was fun. After each one Adrian kept giving me looks because I just kept saying one more, but they were so beautiful I didn't want to stop! Anyway, great ceremony, great people, great reception and great cake! Thank you Adrian and Emily (and your wonderful families) for allowing us to be part of your day. Congratulations and best of luck on your future together!
P.S. Because we were done early in the afternoon we decided to take our time getting home. We stopped at the Cheese Haven and bought some very yummy 14 yr old cheddar, a farmers market for some veggies and visited a few antique stores. We had a great day!

Ann and Brian - Engagement Session

Last night we were with Brian and Ann for their Engagement Session. We are photographing their wedding in July. We had tried to schedule an engagement session last fall but you know Ohio weather... We went to Wildwood Nature Preserve, we had only been there once before for a wedding. It is so pretty there. We had a great time with them. It was a very relaxed session and we got some great shots. We are really looking forward working with them for their wedding. We know we will have just as much fun! Thanks Ann and Brian!!

Scott and Sarah - Wedding

Yesterday we were at the wedding of Sarah and Scott at the Ramada. They had their ceremony in the Atrium and the reception in the Grand Ballroom. Sarah looked simply gorgeous! We really enjoyed being a part of their day and felt very welcomed by their family. We all know I am addicted to cake and they may have had my favorite ever! It was from Cake Arts Supply and not only looked spectacular but tasted that way too. (I think Eric's piece tasted even better than mine...) Best wishes on your new future together Scott and Sarah and thank you for the wonderful day!

Kristen and Jason - Wedding

Kristen and Jason were married last Friday, May 1. Most of the day was gorgeous and sunny but regardless of the weather their wedding was perfect. Their style and attention to detail showed in every aspect of the day. The ceremony was at the Collingwood Presbyterian Church and the reception was at Tamaron Country Club, both great places for photos. We didn't get to do much at the Country Club but the front of the church was perfect for bridal party and couple shots. We had an absolutely great time working with them (and their friends and family) and were so happy to have had the opportunity. Congratulations Kristen and Jason! What a great wedding to start the summer with, one of our best ever!

Jackie and Matt - Wedding

Jackie and Matt were a blast to work with. They are very laid back and fun-loving people. They were married at Otsego Park in front of the river and had their reception in the stone shelter. Their wedding was a small and intimate affair that Jackie couldn't wait to get dancing at. It was evident to everyone that their family's love them very much. Matt's dad officiated their ceremony and Jackie's dad sang a solo during it. Matt and Jackie went to Florida for their honeymoon, sort of. They are moving there and left a few days after the wedding so everyone sort of saw the wedding as a bon voyage party. Good Luck in your new life Jackie and Matt!

Fun, Fun

Well, there are always photos of everyone else at their wedding on here but never any of us at them! Although occasionally you do see me helping with the train or lurking in the background in a few. At our last wedding Eric was taking a few test photos and took these 2 shots of me and I thought they turned out pretty cute. Not that I'm biased or anything. He always thinks I'm a dork when I ham for the camera, but see, my hard work does pay off! We have one more wedding for August tomorrow and then a little break to try to catch up a little.

8/9/08 - Whittney and Phil

I have 3 words to say about yesterday: What A Party!
We had another Wedding yesterday. We left the house about 10 minutes before eight in the morning and left the reception about 10 minutes to nine that evening. We did get almost a 2 hour break in between. (Eric took a nap; I finished a book, posted a wedding and responded to emails) Whittney and Phil were married at St Wendolin Church at 10:00am. Which is why I was coerced into getting up so early. They were on a strict time schedule so we had to get as many photos as possible done before the ceremony so we could be out before the next wedding arrived. It was a beautiful ceremony, their priest definitely knows them well. The bridesmaids all looked gorgeous in short black dresses that they were able to choose themselves which made a perfect backdrop for the bright flowers in their bouquets.
After formal photos at the church we all went back to Whittney and Phil's house for some more fun photos. Someone pulled out Phil's Harley (He broke his hand last week and couldn't) and there were some cool shots with that.
It was a perfect day for a Wedding and great for photos. We had a great time, everyone was so much fun. Congratulations Phil and Whittney!

Brittany and Josh

Today we had Brittany and Josh's Wedding. And it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful day. They were married at Ohio Northern University in the Ballroom. The weather was very cooperative so we were able to take most of the photos on the beautiful grounds of ONU. The photo below is from the engagement session we did with them there. The Bride and Groom look so beautiful together and I can't wait to see the photos we got. They are downloading right now and we will post a few in the next couple days. Brittany, Josh and their friends and family spent a lot of time and effort decorating the Ballroom for the ceremony and the reception hall in Kenton, and boy did it show. They must have spent days on the floral arrangements and bouquets alone. Brittany was worried that the guys were going to be hard to handle for pictures but Eric told her that I'm a tyrant and could handle them. It turned out they were quite well behaved and we were actually ahead of schedule for once! Brittany and Josh are such a gorgeous couple and we had such a superb time working with them. We were already talking about when we would get to do more photos for them. Congratulations Brittany and Josh!!
