Brandon and Megan’s wedding – Divine Word + Mooreland Mansion

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Brandon and Megan were the very first couple to book us for a 2008 date which means it has been a loooong time since we first met them to talk about their wedding. We had been looking forward to shooting another wedding at The Mooreland Mansion as we had not been there for [...]

Havin’ fun with fellow photographers

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Earlier this week, a group of photographers got together to hang out, enjoy a campfire, and share old war stories.  Our friends, Ted and Rachel Linczak, wanted some fresh photos of the two of them, so we thought we’d make a thing of it.  Kind of a party shoot, if you will.  We had a [...]

Aaron and Madeline – Akron Reformed Church + Roses Run Country Club

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Aaron and Madeline were the second winner for our free wedding at the beginning of the year. This time Andrew Jordan was in charge and I got to sit back and relax…well maybe not quite. It was fun though to see him calling the shots.
Aaron and Madeline had the biggest bridal party I had seen [...]

The Muller Family Portaits

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

While I knew this was a family session, the emphasis was definitely on Wyatt. At 18 months old, he kept all of us busy with his moving/running/chasing around. It made my job more challenging but also more fun and rewarding.

K’s boudoir

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I won’t say much about K’s boudoir other than I had such a great time trying out some new ideas. I am so excited to update my gallery with some new images for the last sessions I’ve done.
Enjoy these tasteful teasers:

Matt and Elizabeth’s wedding at The Quarry

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

We’ve been looking forward to Matt and Elizabeth’s wedding here in Canton for quite some time. They made it very clear to us that their photography was very important to them, and that they would do everything they could to make our jobs easier. We can live with that!

Little Caden

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

I had a great time photographing Jonathon and Tricia almost 2 years ago so I knew I would also have a great time with their son Caden. I’m glad I was able to capture this sweet and peaceful side of him before he starts crawling all over the place and keeping his parents busy.
Caden definitely [...]

E’s boudoir photos

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

E inquired about photography back in 2007 but getting the schedule and details sorted out took a while longer than expected. Thankfully it all worked out and she is the first to do the photos at the new studio. I am so excited to have a place just for shooting. It made it easier that E was such a great model.

Brian and Katie – Renaissance Hotel Cleveland

Monday, June 16th, 2008

We have been looking forward to Brian and Katie’s wedding for several reasons:

#1 they totally trust us for photos were willing to go anywhere we recommended in the 3 hour brake between ceremony and reception

#2 they chose some fantastic vendors (and I don’t mean us) that make our day even more enjoyable. One great example was Scott and Carla from Moonstruck Productions but keep on reading to see the others.

#3 we photographed Katie’s sister’s wedding so it was like a mini-reunion to be with them. It all added up to a lot of fun!

Brian and Kim’s engagement session

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I got to try a completely new location for Brian and Kim’s engagement session – Virginia Kendall Park.  I’ve been there many times with friends and family, but I had never shot there.  It was a lot of fun!  There are lots of cool textures and natural features to play with and climbing around on [...]

New Studio Grand Opening Party!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Thank you so much to everyone that came out last week to our open house to celebrate the opening of our new studio.  We had a great time even if it was hot a blazes that day.  The AC was running full tilt the whole day and it just couldn’t keep up.
We saw friends, family, [...]

Scott and Christina – Chateau Michele + Akron Reformed Church

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Remember the wedding contest we did at the beginning of the year? Well Scott and Christina were the winner and I had the pleasure of photographing them.
One thing I must say, there was no shortage of emotions at Scott and Christina’s wedding. There are times I am happy I have a camera to hide [...]

Cody and Alyssa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Almost 2 weeks ago, I had the pleasure of trying something very different for me. My friend Michelle Turner asked me to second shoot a wedding with her which I had never done before and the destination for this couple was Puerto Vallarta Mexico, another first. Thankfully Michelle is familiar with the area and prepped [...]

Phil and Dawn’s wedding at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens

Monday, June 9th, 2008

There are few environments in Northeast Ohio that offer as much beauty and variety for weddings as Stan Hywet in West Akron. Dawn and Phil definitely made the most of it with the ceremony near the West Overlook and a hybrid indoor/outdoor reception at the Carriage House. The bridal party had our sympathy with the tuxes and dresses in the sauna like conditions but it didn’t seem to have much of an effect on their spirits.

2nd Place in WPJA image contest!

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Hey Everyone, we have good news!

One of Genevieve’s images from Mary and Erik’s wedding just got 2nd place in WPJA’s image contest in the “Off camera flash” category. Whoohoo!

This is just a friendly reminder that the open house for our new studio space is this Friday!  We hope to see you there!

Tony and Kara’s wedding at St. Paul’s and The Blue Heron

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

What a beautiful day for a beautiful couple Saturday was for Tony and Kara’s wedding in Akron. From the first time we met Kara, we knew she had great taste so we were excited to see how everything came together. Sure enough, the dress was stunning, the flowers from Roses for Weddings were beautiful, and the room at the Blue Heron Golf Club was breathtaking.
