Robin + Danny = I Do!

May 25, 2008

Yesterday Joe and I traveled to Cleveland to photograph Robin and Danny’s wedding.  I have been very excited for this wedding since we met last fall for their engagement session and really hit it off.  They are both very artistic and Robin and I actually went to Bowling Green for fine arts at the same time although we never knew each other there :(

Then when I got this in the mail a little after the engagement shoot I was fully pumped….

 

 

From this save the date you could tell that they were going to be putting their artistic talents into their wedding and I love when people make the wedding their own.

Robin looked stunning and Danny was quite handsome.  We had a fabulous time with them and their friends and family.  Here is a sneak peek…..

 

Enjoy!

The girls got ready for the day with hair, makeup, and some wedding movies (and a little ora reading :) ).  The guys always seem to have it a little easier than the girls and this wasn’t any different since the guys got to enjoy some wii before the ceremony :)

 

One of Robin’s friends sang during the ceremony and I am jealous of her beautiful voice, it was AMAZING!

 

 

I am a detail junkie and this wedding had my fix!  Check all the stuff that Robin and Danny made and that I was in AWE of their talent.  Here is only a few to name…. the flower (they are made from paper)… wreathes…  all the mens ties, cufflinks… cake topper…. centerpieces…  and the list goes on…. WOW is all I can say!

 

 

 

We had SO much fun, thank you for letting us be part of your day!

Stephanie + Pat = I Do :)

May 25, 2008

This past Friday we had the pleasure to photograph Stephanie and Pat’s wedding…

ceremony: Gesu Church

reception: Tamaron (a favorite of mine :)

She had a lot of pretty pink and green details to go with their theme.  The ceremony may have had a little snafu with no organist but they were lucky to have someone in the audience that had a fantastic voice and I believe it made the whole day more special :)

The weather couldn’t have been any better for the end of may so we were able to get outside to do some photos :)

I hope you two enjoy island hopping on your honeymoon.

 

Here is your sneak peek…..

Enjoy!

 

 

They both looked stunning….

 

 

Here are all those little details I was talking about….

 

Let the fun begin…

 

We had a blast at your wedding!

Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

Let’s all hope for good weather this weekend :)

Brooklyn = too cute :)

May 22, 2008

I went to Botanical gardens on Sunday to Photograph Brooklyn, who was one of the winners from the Toledo Baby Contest in April.  All I can say is she is too cute!

 

So here are the many adorable faces of Brooklyn….

Enjoy!

 

We also took a few photos with her new brother and I think these turned out adorable.  I think the way she is touching his head is precious and now one of my favorites.

Tyler + Terah = I DO!

May 22, 2008

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of photographing Tyler and Terah’s wedding in Michigan.  Terah looked absolutely beautiful in her dress!  The rain held off luckily but it was windy :)    Thank  you for letting us be part of your day, we had such a good time with the both of you and your friends and family!

 

Enjoy your sneak peek…

Out of the Office… on the road

May 18, 2008

I am going to be out of the office Sunday through Wednesday evening.  Which means limited if any access to email and telephone.  Leave messages and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can, otherwise I will definitely get back to you on Thursday.  I am off to an awesome seminar about photography in Illinois and I can not wait to see what all I will learn and how it will change our business after it.  So look forward to new things on the horizon.

 

I will catch up with you all Thursday :)

Nicole + Jason = Baby :)

May 13, 2008

Last Friday I had the chance to photograph Nicole and Jason for some Belly Shots.  We started at their home in the beautiful Old West End and went to the community park by their house, which is beautiful.  Then since they both love downtown so much (as do I :) ) we took some photos down there.  I had a great time with Nicole and Jason and I can not wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl :)

 

Here is a sneak peek….

 

Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

This one below is a favorite.  I love the look she is giving Jason.

I LOVE getting mail… especially this kind

May 9, 2008

So I love getting mail out of our mailbox, I always think there will be something great in it, although most the time it’s just bills or junk mail.  Well today there was something good in it.

 

 

Kara and TK thank you for brightening my day :)  I love this kind of mail!

 

The pleasure was ours Kara and TK, your wedding was a lot of fun and I think your album turned out great!  I look forward to working with you both in the future :)
