Last night (Thursday) we went to another Resonant Soul show. They were asked by a British "football" (soccer) team to wear their jerseys during a concert so they could have a photo in the teams programs. What an awesome opportunity for them! We were totally psyched to be a part of it. So the show was of course great the crowd loved them, they played several songs past their set. They really are great performers. Not only is their music good but they really entertain. I will be posting a few pics to go along with this tomorrow.
Busy day/weekend ahead of us. We are both off work today but have a full day planned. Sunday we have a final meeting with a bride and groom for a May wedding, Megan and Aaron. We are looking forward to seeing them again and hearing what they have planned for their wedding. Next Saturday is another wedding, Ilana and Shawn. They are having a ceremony and reception at Courtyard at the Navy. We have worked with Ilana's family before and loved every moment of it so we are really excited to be working with them again and are looking forward to meeting Shawn's family. Last fall we were lucky enough to photograph Ilana's sister Allison's wedding to Jeff. Jeff and Allison are just spectacular and made the whole day a blast. Below is a photo of them.

First wedding of the year

Saturday held our first wedding of the season. Sam and Hollie were married at The Neiderhouser hall at Olander Park. We had not been there before and thought it was perfect for a small intimate wedding. As far as spring in Ohio goes it was a good day. The rain was a little threatening and forced the ceremony indoors as a precaution but we were still able to get photos outside before it got too cold, or rained on us. Hollie was a little chilly by the end but she was a champ and toughed it out. Hollie was absolutely gorgeous in her dress. It reminded me of 1940's Hollywood glamour. Hollie and Sam are very lucky to be surrounded by great families. You could really tell that that they are all very close and really were there to support the beginning of their lives together. And Sam's son Kolin is just the cutest thing. You can see from the pic above that he was really hamming it up for the camera. Hollie kept bribing him with the promise of the chocolate fountain but I don't think he needed it. Their reception was a blast! Ron from Decorative Sound kept everyone dancing and having fun well into the night. Everyone seemed to be having such a great time and the dancing was lively! The wedding cake was not only beautiful but also wonderfully delicious. The chocolate also had chocolate chips in it, mmmmm. Sam, Hollie and their families were such wonderful people and a blast to spend the day with! We are so glad we had the opportunity to work with them.

And so it begins....

And so it begins......

Last night was super busy for us. First we had a meeting with a bride and her family to finalize her wedding photography package and discuss her wedding. It was someone I went to school with so it was nice to catch up. Then we went to a charity concert on campus for Earth week. We went to see a band that we are so hoping to photograph some publicity shots for, Resonant Soul. They were awesome and we had a great time. They are playing again this week and we plan to go.

Tonight we have our first wedding of the season. We are really looking forward to working with Hollie and Sam. They are such nice people and have a laid back wedding planned to fit thier personalities.
