Suzi and Adam

August 11 was another hot, muggy day, but it didn't dampen any spirits or any of the great energy surrounding the wedding celebration of Suzi and Adam! We started the day with a typically gorgeous ceremony at St. Joseph Cathedral, arguably the most beautiful church we have here in Central Ohio. All 12 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, and Suzi and Adam's families were great troopers in the heat as we captured some great images at Franklin Park Conservatory. From there we went to the Hilton at Easton for a lovely reception, complete with beautiful details and heartfelt toasts. It was a beautiful day!

Here are a few of my many favorites:


We start with this amazing image from Melissa of Suzi hiding behind a wall of bridesmaids to get into the waiting room before walking down the aisle. Magical!

This is one of my favorite shots from the ceremony.

Guests, bestowing their blessing upon the couple.

Is this great light or what?!

It was stinkin' hot out and this image pretty much sums it up!

The cake detail was stunning!

Love this unique centerpiece!

Melissa caught this great moment during Suzi and Adam's first dance. Sweet!

The band totally rocked and the dance floor was packed all night. Love this behind-the-scenes shot!

Congratulations, Suzi and Adam!!

Happy Anniversary, Lindsay and Ben!

One year ago, Lindsay and Ben were married in a beautiful ceremony at St. Joseph Cathedral. We had a great time making some fabulous images there and at Franklin Park and Crowne Plaza, the site of their reception. I was also lucky to meet AnnaMaria and Chris there, whose wedding I just photographed on July 28!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from Lindsay and Ben's wedding:

Happy anniversary, Lindsay and Ben!

AnnaMaria and Chris

July 28 was hot and steamy, but it was a great day for AnnaMaria and Chris' wedding at St. Andrews in Arlington. The ceremony was beautiful and AnnaMaria was gorgeous in her mother-in-law's veil. We followed the ceremony with pictures at Franklin Park Conservatory, then on to Brookside Country Club for a fabulous reception.

Here are a few of my many favorites:

Congratulations, AnnaMaria and Chris!!

Awwww, that's so sweet!!

I just have to share the sweetest gift I received from my very special clients, Scott and Jess. At their wedding, there was a reading of the most adorable poem I've ever heard at a wedding, I Like You by Sandol Stoddard Warburg. If you ever have a chance to read this, it's a must! After the wedding, I commented to Jess about how much I enjoyed the poem, and she sent me a copy of the book along with the nicest note! Here's a picture:

What a thoughtful gesture! I'm so lucky to have the most wonderful people to work with!!

Thanks, Jess and Scott!

Happy Anniversary, Katie and Aaron!

August 5 marked the one-year anniversary of Katie and Aaron, who were married in the beautiful chapel at Denison University. Their reception followed at Cherry Valley in Newark and, even though it was blazing hot outside, we had a fabulous time and got some super images. Here are just a few of my favorites:

Happy anniversary, Katie and Aaron!

Jess and Scott

I'll just start with "wow". Wow.

I had the privilege of photographing Jess and Scott's wedding on July 14 at the Silver Grille in Cleveland. Owned by the Ritz Carlton and located in the old Higbee department store building, the Silver Grille is a monument to Art Deco and a beautiful setting for a wedding and reception. We had a great time hanging out with Jess and Scott and their super-nice families, not to mention making some awesome photographs of the event! Here are a few of my many, many favorites:

Scott's mom choosing a make-up style while the girls hang out and play cards

I love this shot with Jess' mom so cute in the background!

Jess and Scott's adorable pooch . . .

and his equally adorable tuxedo!

The array of attendants' dresses

The guys got to hang out in the pool

Jess' parents and grandma were so cute during the ceremony!

Check out the custom aisle runner - awesome!

Most of the Higbee building is unfinished, so we snuck off to make some romantic images against the unique "warehouse" backdrop

You know I love placesetting details!

Great lighting in this shot, for sure!

We even went into the kitchen to see the inner workings. This is the sorbet course set-up.

Love this cake-topper!

Awww, aren't they sweet??

Congratulations Jess and Scott!!

Stacy and Dave

07-07-07 was the wedding of Stacy and Dave. We had a great time photographing Stacy getting ready at the Renaissance downtown, followed by a first meeting with Dave in the gorgeous hotel lounge. Afterward, we took the limo tour of downtown, shooting in a variety of locations and making some great photographs! Then it was on to the Athenaeum for a beautiful ceremony and reception. What a great time!!

Here are just a few of my favorites:

Melissa got this great shot of Dave and the guys. Love it!

Marcella's was the site of this great shot.

I took this shot through the slats of my bench at the ceremony. I love shots that have some humor!

The stage lights cast a beautiful magenta glow on everything and I loved capturing that whole feeling.

Congratulations, Stacy and Dave!!

Happy Anniversary, Mia and Ben!!

I'd like to say a big Happy Anniversary to Mia and Ben, who were married one year ago at St. Joseph Cathedral. Mia, you'll remember, is the cover bride on the current issue of Columbus Bride magazine! If you haven't seen it, check it out - she looks gorgeous!

Here are a few shots from their wedding:

Happy Anniversary, Mia and Ben!!!
