Holly and Jeremy

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I went back home to shoot a wedding of an awesome friend and fun couple. I also used that time to book an engagement session of two really special people: Holly and Jeremy.

Jeremy is my nephew and I was so excited to be asked to cover their wedding as well as this session.

Jeremy has gone through a lot of stages in his life, but to see the care, passion and concern he had for Holly was refreshing. They both have this cute playful side too!

When a couple is so comfortable together and in front of the camera it makes our job that much easier! We had a blast…thanks to Holly and Jeremy for allowing us to capture a part of their life and relationship and to be able to share it with you!

Our session was held at Mill Creek Park, Rose Garden. It’s a beautiful place and a first choice for many couples on their wedding day!

Raquel and I had a fun time walking and photographing Holly and Jeremy and being able to spend some time with them before their wedding.

It’s going to be a beautiful day! Thank you for allowing us to capture these memories for you!

Erica and Jesse – Love

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

This is our first video (be kind) so I threw it up on our blog to let you see just a small (very small) part of how our day starts before we shoot your wedding! Generally it’s getting motivational coffee and tea! Click to view video!

This past weekend I went back to Ohio to photograph a wedding of a dear friend. I’ve known Erica a LONG TIME!!! In fact, you may remember the famous picture of her floating in the water during a TTD session here.

Erica and Jesse met at the workplace and from there the road was all smooth sailing. Jesse had always wanted a wife and children from as long as his mother could remember and Erica wanted a good man to care for her and her children. Then it happened. It “clicked”! I’m all about the “clicking”!

I love finding the little stories of how people meet, how they were when they were children and how their special day was formed and created from the time they met until the day I come into their lives and capture their wedding and make it a memory for them.

It’s an honor no matter who I am shooting, but a double honor to shoot family and friends. Thank you Jesse and Erica for allowing Raquel and I to cover your event. Can’t wait to hear how Florida treated you. I KNOW you had a blast!

Now…the pictures…

Nick

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Last weekend I travelled to Ohio to shoot a wedding and had lined up a senior session while I was there.

Nick brought along his mother and his aunt, who happen to be my sister in laws! We shot at Mill Creek Park and had a fun time walking the grounds of the Fellows Garden and talking and sharing.

Nick was easy to shoot. We had to work on that smile but, it was just a matter of time until Nick fell into his comfortable stance in front of the camera. It’s not the easiest thing to be the center of attention and having two photographers shooting you like your some famous football player! But, once we found the key word to make Nick “smile” we were on a roll!

Sometimes as a photographer you need to allow the person to be comfortable in front of the lens, this takes talent from the photographer and once you achieve that, then the natural body placement of an individual is easy to achieve!

Nick was so much fun and even climbed a few trees for us while my sisters-in-laws kept watch… just in case it was against the rules!

We also learned about praying mantis eggs, different 5 pointed leaves and gooseberries. I seriously LOVE when I learn new things!

Thanks Sue, Carol and Nick for allowing us to spend a short part of the day with you to capture Nick for his Senior year in High School!

See you soon:-)

Here’s some shots I pulled to share with all of you!
