I love receiving thank you card, well who doesn’t  I received one in the mail the other day from Annie and Jake (you might remember their wedding a month ago and their trash the dress session.) I loved the card, it was perfect!

we loved the photo and kind words :) 

(as a disclaimer, we don’t normally stand next to each other when we shoot, it just happened to be the time when Annie and Jake first saw each other that day and there is only so far you can go on a bridge  )

We also received an email from a fellow photographer friend Mike Brice who we ran into while shooting at the museum on Saturday, he sent us this…..

Because we are always behind the camera we don’t have many photos of ourselves, so we appreciate it, even if joe’s face is covered  lol

A few more kind words we like to share and let you know we truly appreciate them, we love what we do and put our heart and soul into this so we always love to know it is appreciated. 

“we want to thank you and Joe, the pictures were absolutely wonderful, more than we ever expected. I showed a few people the slideshow, and they were just amazed at how the pictures captured the moments and people at the wedding were so impressed at how friendly and fun you guys were! The magic of the whole day can be re-lived through your great pictures. 

Lisa”

“Carli!

Carli,
 
I just wanted to thank you again for doing such an awesome job on the pictures of my girls!  You are always so easy to work with, and I really appreciate the time and attention to detail that you obviously put into the work that you do.  The fact that you come to us and photograph the kids in their own familiar environment makes it so much less stressful for me as a mom than to pack them (and all of their things!) up and take them to a strange studio. You capture real moments, of them just being themselves!  Those are the types of memories that I will want to look back upon in the future.  Thanks again and I know we will see you again soon, after all the kids are changing everyday and will need more beautiful photos to help and capture those fleeting moments!
 
Sincerely,
Amy (Bacon) Adams”

P.S.  we have some very big news that we will be sharing very soon, so stay tuned!

Saturday we ended our long weekend with the fantastic wedding of Rachael and Dave.  They were married at Blessed Sacrament Church and Park Inn held their reception.   I loved the color choice of bright pink and green, the whole wedding party looked great!  Rachael had a fabulous dress that looked stunning on her with her long veil, Dave looked very handsome in his tux!

Over all it was a great time, we had a lot of fun being part of your special day!

Enjoy the sneak peek…….

Thanks for letting us join you, we had a great time and you can tell all of your guests did too!

Friday June 27th Katie and Mike tied the knot at St Stephens church in Toledo and had a beautiful reception at Cambridge Place on Alexis.  It was pretty hot yesterday but their whole bridal party were troopers and went along for some outside photographs  It was a beautiful ceremony and a fantastic Arch of Sabers exit from the church.  Katie looked Fabulous and Mike looked quite nice in his uniform.  We had a lot of fun being a part of your wedding day, and from the looks of all your friends and family in photos, I think everyone had a great time  

They were another one of our couples who saw each other before the ceremony, which worked out great because with only a 1/2 hour between the ceremony and reception they wouldn’t have had time to travel to any locations after the church

I wanted to put up a sneak peek before we head off to another wedding today

Enjoy!

We hope you enjoyed your sneak peek, we enjoyed being a part of your day!

On Thursday we traveled via the Jet Express to Put in Bay, South Bass Island for Kellen and Jason’s wedding.  It was a small quaint affair, but it was beautiful.  Although the weather was a little warm, the rain held off so they could have their ceremony by the water.

We had a great time and thank you for letting us be part of your special day.

Here is a sneak peek….. Enjoy!

Have a great reception back home in Illinois tonight and good luck on the move cross country

Here are a few photos from some recent session.  These are a little different because they are portraits of your pets.  This is something new we are beginning to offer, because we know (from experience) that your animals are part of your family and for some they are your children.  So why should they miss out on getting a great portrait done?!

We will have more information soon about these, but feel free to contact us in the mean time to get the scoop. 

Enjoy …….

Saturday we photographed Sarah and Doug’s wedding,  we had such a good time hanging out with the two of them and their family and friends.

I have a sneak peek from the wedding, I loved photographing the two of them, you can tell how much in love they are by the looks in their faces every time they are around each other.  Sarah looked fabulous  as well as all of her bridesmaids (Doug didn’t look too bad either )

Enjoy your sneak peek……

wedding: First Presbyterian Church of Maumee

On Friday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Alysha and I had a blast!  Alysha is an aspiring model and stunningly beautiful at that so what better gift for a boyfriend to get her then a photography session

Jamal surprised her with this session for her birthday, he contacted me and set it all up with out her knowing until the day of, what a great surprise!

Here is a sneak peek, and if you are an aspiring model or just want a more fashion forward type of shoot (I am a fashion magazine junkie as well as America’s next top model ) give me a call  and we can set something up

Enjoy……

I thought I would throw in a few of Jamal as well…..

I know he had a few more surprises up his sleeve for the weekend so I hope you had a fantastic time!

Thursday we met up with Annie and Jake (they got married on May 31st) and we trashed their dress.  Annie loves photographs, they were one of our couples to see each other before the ceremony to allow more time for photography and she wanted more and some that she wasn’t willing to do on her wedding day

Here is a sneak peek, we had so much fun!

Can you see why she didn’t want to do some of these on her wedding day

These two are very similar but I love them both (and yes they were both done on purpose.)

Who’s next ?  

Oh and all you seniors keep in mind we can do something like this with your prom dresses as well

Saturday we photographed Trisha and Kyle’s wedding at Brandywine Country Club.  This was our first time working at Brandywine and we can’t wait to go back later this year  I loved everything about this wedding, the peacock feathers, the colors, the fact that Trisha, Kyle and all their family and friends were so much fun to be around.  Their cupcake tower was deliciously appealing, her bright purple shoes were fun and we love when couples see each other before the wedding

I think Trisha looked stunning and I love how her whole face lights up when Kyle makes her laugh and vice versa.

We also had the pleasure of working with Class Act (which we love).

The cupcakes were from Buggy Whip Bakery.

And I recommend Brandywine as well, Autumn and the rest of their staff was a pleasure to work with.

Here is a sneak peek….. Enjoy!

I love the one in the middle of Trisha laughing  fav!

Oh and I forgot to mention they had a mariachi band during dinner

We hope you had a fantastic honeymoon!

As always we love blog comments
