On Saturday I took a trip down to Lima, Ohio, a place I had never been, to photograph Rachelle & Zach's wedding.  I wasn't sure what to expect in Lima, but I loved the character that we found there... and the amazing, laid back bride and groom, totally trusted my ideas.  You are both super sweet, rad people... CONGRATS and enjoy your honeymoon!

OK I'm going to unleash some honesty here for a couple sentences... I am a photographer, not a writer.  I don't like to pretend to be a writer on my photography blog.  While in college, I wrote some amazing papers the night before they were due.  When it comes to blogging, I do have trouble putting into words how amazing it is that I get to do what I do on a weekly basis.

Julia's sister, Danielle, said to me, and I'm paraphrasing... 'You have such a unique job, in that, you are with people on the most emotional day in their lives and you have this little window into their lives that most people who are closest with them don't even get to experience'... (You're awesome Danielle, I hope I got that right!).  Being with a couple on their wedding day, is emotional for every person who loves this couple, and it is also so for me, as their photographer.

Julia and Adam's wedding day was unconventionally beautiful.  I say unconventionally, because we had 50mph winds, it was super cloudy, and unusually (kind of) cold considering the weather to follow.  Putting the weather conditions aside, it was amazing to see a young couple who have been together 9 years officially become husband and wife.  They are amazingly complimentary, and have a bond + chemistry combo that is truly special.

Thank you both for being amazing to me! For being awesomely enthusiastic clients!  Thank your friends + family for me as well! We had a perfect 'work' day at their Maumee Bay Resort wedding !

I started my weekend engagement shoot marathon with Sarah + CJ.  I was pumped about working with Sarah since her initial consultation... she is a graphic designer, chose some amazing vendors, and has some amazing venues for their October wedding,which is also awesome, looove fall weddings!!  When I photograph for other artists, I always feel a wee bit of pressure to put on my thinking cap and give them something super special and artistic that they'll appreciate.  I love the photos we made!! Can't wait for October!

The blog-site looks great Mary! It seems that everyone's favorite image is the one of us laying down (in the laundromat parking lot haha)! it's definitely at the top of my list as well. Thanks again!

Very nice. These are some of the best I've seen.

Trinda is an art teacher, Bret is a farmer... and they are too adorable together.  They are completely at ease and free when they're looking at each other... which makes my task of documenting their pre-wedding love incredibly effortless.  We watched the sunset in Toledo, talked about weddings, and pizza... it was a gooood night!
