Theresa & Andy...married!
Every time I spied Theresa and Andy they were gazing...clearly made for each other. Best of luck for the marriage and thanks for having me there! (Thanks to Kelly too for the referral!!)
Jenifer & Jerry got married!
Jenifer & Jerry called me while I was in Phoenix over the New Year and we played lots of phone tag to get settled on their wedding date of August 8. Once I met them, I know it was going to be a special wedding.
Jen's dad had a special gift for her before the ceremony and I had time to get to know their families and friends as we prepared. Her dress was perfect and the surprise necklace from Dad and earrings from Jerry looked like they were made for the day.
Their ceremony took place at the Columbus Baptist Temple and they had a wonderful pastor sign the ceremony. Flowers from Bloomtastic were spectacular! From there we went on to Ohio Stadium and had SO much fun pretending to be the Buckeyes!!
On to the Haimerl Center for the reception. It was stunning with all of the work that the families put into decorating it. We danced the night away and had a really great time.
Jen & Jerry are two very special people who clearly will spend many days ahead happy and caring for each other. It was an honor and a pleasure to photograph their wedding. Here's the slideshow!

Pam and Jim get married.
We started at Magic Cuts in Hilliard with Pam and her bridesmaids. Had a run in with a not-so-cheerful McDonald's manager and then on to St. Margaret of Cortona for preparations and the ceremony. Pam's dress, from Wendy's Bridal, was perfect for the occasion. St. Margaret's is one beautiful church...when the light shone in during the ceremony it was like God himself was offering a blessing on Pam and Jim's marriage!!
Afterward we travelled up to Westerville to visit Pam's dad, who was unable to make it to the ceremony, then with a stroke of incredible luck we got to the Horseshoe and another wedding had cancelled their plans to go on the field, so we got to take their spot! It was awesome. There is nothing like being on the ground floor of Ohio Stadium with some true Buckeyes!! Many thanks to the limo company for getting us all over town.
On to the University Plaza hotel for a fun filled reception. The flowers, from Hilliard Floral Design, were gorgeous and held up perfectly through the whole day! The cake, from Our Cupcakery, was perfect as was the groom's cake from the night before. The DJ, Byron from Buckeye Entertainment, kept the dance floor moving all night! In fact, we even stayed later than planned because we were having so much fun!
All in all, a perfect day for these two great people. Thanks again for having me be a part of your day!!

Jennifer & Nick are Married!
After the ceremony, thanks to some more of that luck, we made it over to Ohio Stadium and into the locker room for some awesome "team" pictures of the bridal party.
Finally on to the University Plaza hotel for dinner and dancing...and dance they did. Everyone was on the dance floor and even Jen's grandma made it on to really "cut a rug!" A fun and lucky wedding from start to finish and a huge thank you to the bride and groom for including me in this day!!

Finally...Katie & Brian
So appropriate, I suppose, that I had some technical difficulties getting their slide show posted and therefore I FINALLY got it up. My apologies to Katie, Brian and their friends and and family who were anxious to see the images.
Katie, Brian & I met all the way back in December at a Starbucks where we talked about their summer wedding at St. Brenden's church in Hilliard. They told me about meeting in Spanish class and warmed my heart with the tale of marrying their high school sweetheart.
The wedding was perfect from Katie finding her dress after the saleswoman told her it was sold out to Brian's brother offering quite possibly the funniest best man's toast that I've ever heard to the SAME sweet woman cutting their cake who had cut Katie's parents' wedding cake years before! The staff at the Clintonville Women's Club was great and it was an excellent reception spot where Katie & Brian got to set up their Wii for friends and family to enjoy when they weren't dancing (which was not often!)
Many thanks to everyone and most especially Katie & Brian for having me be a part of their day!

At Last...Brenda & Nathan
The flowers were pink and cream roses, perfectly prepared by Connells Maple Lee Flowers, matched perfectly with the dresses from David's.
We braved the rain to head downtown where we got some beautiful images near the Santa Maria and then over to the Columbus Athanaeum for an awesome reception. Hands down, the best part BESIDES watching Brenda and Nathan "make eyes" at each other all night...easily The Hoodoo Soul Band!
Many thanks to Brenda and Nathan for having me there and to God for slowing the rain so we could get some beautiful pictures!

Going to the chapel and we're going to get married...
On to the party with Fermata Music for the 40's inspried music, think Sinatra and jazz. The OSU golf club's courterous staff did a terrific job and VIP Photo Booths had a booth set up for Sarah & Jason's guests to leave a memento in lieu of a traditional guest book.

A Wedding for Gina and Jason
It was a party from start to finish...Gina told me during the rehearsal she cheered the whole way down the aisle at the Westerville Community Church. The bridal party showed up in style with Ringer's Limousine. The beautiful flowers came from Bloomtastic, I loved the white calla lilies -one for each bridesmaid.
The girls had gorgeous up dos for the big day thanks to Erin Autry of Hair Lab at the Galleria of Salons in Dover, Ohio.
After braving the heat for some fun bridal party pictures, we headed over to the Pavilion at the Crowne Plaza North where Mark Dantzer had everyone out on the dance floor before dinner was even over!
I could see all of the joy that Gina and Jason had for each other, but it was even more apparent in the eyes of all of their family and friends. Thanks for having be a part of your day! Enjoy the slide show!

Photo sharing and online storage
Check out this article that reviews several options for both the pro and amateur photog: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2347919,00.asp
I'm knee deep in wedding season and loving it, but wanted to share another portrait image from my marathon Sunday a few weeks back. Aren't these boys the cutest?
To close the post, I have to share a funny revelation. For months, I've been scoffing at all of the Facebook posts, media hype and general hoopla about some vampire named Edward and his story, Twilight. I couldn't honestly believe that adults were buying this.
Somebody bought me the book recently and it's been sitting on my nightstand taunting me. I read it last night...in four hours and have decided that I, too, am totally in love with said vampire, Edward Cullen. Wow, what a story...Stephanie Meyer is a talented writer, make the time to read this book.

Christine & Brian get married
Afterward, we moved on to the Westin Great Southern where amazing Italian food, superbe dancing and the most unique wedding desert idea I've seen capped off the night.
A brownie sundae bar was Christine & Brian's answer to the traditional wedding cake and their guests showed their approval by standing in line to get a scoop and pick from the vast toppings! Cheers to the Westin for accomodating such a fun idea!
Christine & Brian were obviously excited, nervous, happy and in love. They were both surrouded by their families who, too, were clearly so happy for the newly married couple.
Thanks to you all - especially Christine and her mom, Amy - for giving me the chance to share in this special and fun day!
Enjoy the preview:

Amber and Jeff get married
We then went on to Carinwood Mansion, one of the most beautiful venues that I've ever seen where we took family pictures with Amber honoring her mom's memory by wearing her wedding dress. On to time spent with Amber & Jeff before the big event and then Jeff's entrance into the ceremony with a loud, "Who's ready for a WEDDING!!??"
