Andrea and DaLan - 9/26/09

It was truly a pleasure to photograph Andrea and DaLan's wedding on Saturday. It didn't matter that it rained from morning until night - in fact, it didn't phase them at all. They didn't fret about the small stuff -- and were just so excited that the day that they have been waiting for had finally arrived! It felt like I was photographing old friends -- I had spent some time with Andrea on Thursday for her bridal portrait session and then stopped by their rehearsal on Saturday to get familiar with the church. Gracious and kind doesn't even begin to describe this beautiful couple. They were all that and much much more, as were their families.

Hair and makeup near completion...
Gorgeous, numerous, tiny buttons lined the backs of the bridesmaids dresses...
Everyone wants a photo of the bride walking down the aisle!

Andrea gets teary-eyed before DaLan begins to read his vows...(actually...Andrea shed happy tears throughout!)Rain, rain, go away....




In keeping with their black and white/movie theme, I shot a film noir-ish photo...
The detail that went into planning the theme for this wedding was incredible!


DaLan wins points for the MOST creative and energetic garter removal! :-) What I love as much as the looks on Andrea and DaLan's faces are the faces of the guests watching...



Toward the end of the evening I noticed the lights in the hallway and asked them for a quick photo -- I'm so glad I did...

Kristen and Matt's Wedding -- 9/19/09

It was a perfect day for a wedding last Saturday - 70 degrees, sunny with zero percent chance of precipitation -- it just doesn't get any better than that! Kristen and Matt are one of the nicest couples I've had the privilege to work with -- friendly and so gracious -- as were their entire bridal party -- It was a pleasure to photograph their wedding! They were married in Bain Park in Fairview and Lolly the Trolley'd to their reception at Windows on the River. It was truly a fantastic day...on to the pictures!

Lisa and Vince - Engagement Session

What a beautiful day for an engagement session at Fortier Park in Olmsted Falls, also known as "the Quarry." After a long courtship, Lisa and Vince have decided to get married -- next month! I'm looking forward to photographing their wedding at Squire's Castle. We had a good time today and it's evident that they really love and appreciate each other :-)
