I’m a little behind on several boudoir sessions so you are about to see several back to back. Just keep checking for more.
M chose a hotel I was unfamiliar with but I am so glad she did. It’s nice to use new locations and props while keeping it personal to create some unique images. I [...]

If you have been planning on or contemplating contacting us about photographing your wedding in 2009, I thought I better give you a bit of a heads-up on what is going on with us recently.

Because Jeff and Tracy planned their Cleveland wedding from Chicago, we didn’t get a chance to meet them until just a few short weeks before the wedding would take place. As we learned about the various details throughout the planning process, we got the impression that this would be both a very unique, and classy event. When we finally got to meet Tracy and Jeff, they confirmed our suspicions and with the help of event planner extraordinaire, Valarie Kirkbride of Kirkbride’s Events, the wedding met and exceeded our expectations.

Evidently, being one of eight siblings pretty much ensures that there will never be a dull moment when you get the family together. That’s at least how it felt spending the day with Meredith, Greg, and his seven siblings at their wedding in Strongsville, Ohio. From the games of pit and table hockey [...]

A few months ago, we got an e-mail from a past wedding client, Ashley, saying the she wanted to surprise her parents on their aniversay with a family portrait session. We thought that was a great idea, and evidently, so did Ashley’s mom because she started crying when she was us walk into her kitchen with cameras in hand.

We have been looking forward to photographing Matt and Megan’s wedding for quite a while now, and when the guest list topped 1000 at one point, we knew we were going to have a very interesting day. While the size of the guest list and bridal party (twenty-two) certainly made this wedding unique, what really stood out in my mind was what great people Matt and Megan was to be around. After getting to know them a little, it’s not that suprising that so many people would want to be a witness to their marriage. Megan is a very tender spirit while Matt’s good nature kept the mood light and fun.

This whole photo booth thing is turning out to be a lot of fun. It usually takes a bit for people to warm up to the idea, but once they do, it’s a blast seeing how people improvise. While whole mall-style “cram’em in and close the curtain” type booths might be a quaint idea, we find that things develop much more naturally if you give people a little breathing room. This group needed very little encouragement!
