We’re down to the final stretch in the MyFox Cleveland contest to be named the top wedding photography studio in Northeast Ohio. It’s been a really tight race for the number one position all the way through, and while the current standings are no longer up, I imagine it’s a really, really tight race right [...]
I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that I am NOT pregnant. Instead I wanted to introduce to you April, our new office manager and first employee.
Business has been going well, so well in fact that we are spending all our time working and neglecting our family and friends. So we decided [...]

Well, the remnants of Ike really had it’s way with our power grid here in Northeast Ohio, and it looks like we might be without power for several days. Obviously, this will throw a major wrench in our post production schedules so those of you who’s weddings we have shot recently, or if you are [...]
Hey Everyone,
We don’t do this very often but we got an amazing e-mail from Megan this morning after she got a chance to check out her wedding images for the first time. (You can check out the blog post from her wedding here: Matt and Megan’s wedding )
“Wow wow wow, just WOW. I had some [...]
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.
In the last two weeks alone, 10 prime dates have been reserved, which brings us to roughly half of our capacity [...]
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that we are spending the week in California’s wine country for a short culinary vacation with some friends, so e-mails and phone calls might go out a little slower than usual. We’ll be back on Friday so we’ll try to get caught up with everything then if you [...]

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, [...]

We were picked for The Knot magazine’s Best of Weddings 2008 Issue!
While we’ve been offering Flushmount albums for a while, I’ve felt lukewarm about the covers that were available. That is currently changing with a new company we’ve found that I am sooo excited about!
The first album we ordered is a 10×14 album. It is comparable to the 12×12 Fine Art album we offer so if [...]
We just received some sad news that a wedding we were going to cover in France has been postponed. I guess I’ll have to rein in my excitement about the wedding in Tours until next year. Maybe we’ll even have 2 in France by then (hint hint).
The good news is that we now have an [...]
We’ve been thinking about offering a simple photobooth type service at wedding receptions to guarantee better coverage of the guests that might not otherwise wonder out to the dance floor during the open dancing part of the reception. We decided to give it a try and Mary and Erik’s reception (see below) and it was [...]
Whoohoo, we are published again! This is our second Knot Ohio magazine in a row that we are having one of our couples featured (and I am quite sure #3 is about to happen).

In the past couple months we’ve been designing lots of albums but realized we never share any of our designs.
In our recent little survey (scroll down 5 posts or so) you told us some of the things you wanted to see. You asked for it so here are some of our recent favorites pages:
Brandon and [...]
While we have four couples that made it to finalist, all of them will also be winners. How is that possible you might ask. Here is the reason why: someone amazing photographer friends Andrew Jordan and Tom Forrest have offered to cover the weddings we can not. Can you believe that? I am so humbled [...]

Most people tend to have goals like eating better, loosing weight and getting in shape. While I am certainly working on those, I have others that I could use some help with.
In 2008, I want to:- spend more time with friends and family. We’ve been working 6 days a week and sometimes 7 but I [...]
This was a very tough decision. We received so many wonderful entries from Moms, sisters, a boss, friends and of course brides and grooms-to-be. Most of the entries were for dates we are already booked but we received several for dates we do have open.
Because it was so hard to choose just three [...]
Yes you saw the title right. We did this last year and debated doing it again as we have few openings left in 2008 but we thought it was worth a try.
So here is what we offering to one lucky couple:- 8 hours of coverage by James or I (haven’t decided yet)- online gallery- DVD [...]
This post is overdue but better late than never
2007 has been a difficult but also very rewarding year for us. I am so happy we’ve made new friends, captured timeless family memories, created art and added a little one to our family. Thankfully our couples were very understanding with the hardship surrounding Ezra’s [...]

Lots of people voted for us in my Fox Cleveland contest and that means so much to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The results came in and we finished… #2. Not bad really considering there were over 90 photographers listed and James and I are some of the younger photographers on there. It gives [...]

Recently I’ve had several people ask if I design cards and I certainly do. I’ve just not shown any samples [...]
I finally took the time to read all the comments people have left on the my fox Cleveland contest. I must say I was floored. I had no idea how nice the comments would be and I had a tough time holding back the tears. That is the main reason I love my job so [...]

After my sister pointed out that my last post was a month old, I thought it was time to keep you posted on our happenings. February turned out to be a busier month than we expected. Although we have no weddings in March, we have been staying busy and will soon be heading to Las [...]
The feedback and voting from everybody has been amazing. We’ve received a lot of votes, over 750 votes in fact. Along with the votes, a lot of people shared their thoughts and feelings about the couples. I thought I would share some here:
about Jenn and Bill:
- We are so excited that he has found the [...]
For all those that took the time to write and send in an application to win free wedding photography: Thank You! It was VERY difficult to narrow down all the entries to just 3 even with over half the applications being for dates already booked.
What impressed me about the couples I chose is how [...]
