| Long Wedding |

What a beautiful day it was last Saturday for a wedding!  I was once again honored to be asked to shoot alongside fellow photographer and friend Lauren Beers at this beautiful couple’s wedding!  From detail shots and the ceremony at the church, heading across the street and uptown, and then out to a home in the country, we ended up at their reception for a night of good food and dancing!  I love getting to share my talents with fellow photographers and learn from them at the same time; community over competition, building each other up, and providing a couple with even more shots from their special day!  Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Long!

Fall has arrived in Northwest Ohio, harvest has begun, and the colors are changing! While the rain chased us indoors for Melissa & Brian’s ceremony, that didn’t stop us from dodging the raindrops to get some great outdoor shots!  This fun loving couple and their bridal party were ready for anything, from trudging through mud puddles to crawling through the weedy pasture field!  It has been a pleasure working with this wonderful family, from invitations and their engagement session, to their beautiful wedding!  Thank you to both the Michaelis and Allen families for allowing us to capture your day!  Congrats Melissa & Brian!

What a gorgeous, warm day we had last Saturday for April & Tyler’s wedding!  I met the ladies as they were getting ready, then it was off to the church for pictures before the ceremony.  They chose to not see one another before hand, so the bridal party had the challenge of keeping the halls clear when changing groups for pictures!  Following the ceremony and their ride in the limo, it was family pictures before heading downtown to brave the heat for some great locations!  The bridal party was wonderful in helping one another with dresses and jackets, flowers and staying hydrated!  April & Tyler, what a wonderful journey it has been, from save the dates and invites, to engagements and your wedding, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day, it has been my pleasure!  Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Johnson!!!

What started out as a dreary, rainy morning last Saturday, turned out to be a great day for a wedding!  The rain moved out, the sun stayed behind the clouds, and the bridal party had a wonderful time!  We did Christy & Brent’s engagement shots this last summer, their wedding invites and programs, and now we’ve finished up with the wedding!  We started shooting their first look where They had their first date, the ladies took off for the church, we got creative with the gentlemen, then headed to the church to get ready for the ceremony!  From a great party bus, to a gorgeous bridal party, everything fell together just as they had imagined!  Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Appel!

| Lauber Wedding |

While exhibiting at a local Picker’s Paradise, I ran into a longtime family friend whom I hadn’t seen in years!  After much talking and visiting, I was creating her son’s wedding invitations and planning their wedding session!  I was so happy at her excitement of finding someone who could do both the invites and take the pictures at their special day.  Having known her oldest son in school and meeting her youngest at the Picker’s event, I had never met the middle son.  A few months later after emails back and forth, I finally met the Bride, Nanzhu, and Groom, Aaron!  They were so laid back and ready to start the planning process!  We carefully went over invite details, created, and produced invites, then went on to planning how to capture their special day!  Nanzhu is from China, so they had the joy of adding little Chinese touches here and their to incorporate her heritage.  The day finally approached, from great looking tuxes on the guys, to three dresses for the bride, it went off without a hitch!  So many family members showed up to celebrate this great couple and show their support for their future together.  Congrats to Aaron & Nanzhu Lauber!
