It's fall and I've officially fallen behind. After my busiest summer yet, I've been playing major catch up!I've shot a few more amazing, gorgeous late summer and autumn weddings and will post a few pictures below. Brides and grooms who are still waiting for proofs, have patience and faith, my fingers are working fast!Family portrait sessions for the holidays have been keeping me busy as well.

Julie & Thad were married on Saturday at Brookshire in Delaware, Ohio. We met way back in December and it was love at first sight. Well, they were already in love, obviously, but I knew right away that I wanted to shoot their wedding. They felt the same way (I think!) because they called me up later that night to book me! Awesome.The matron of honor, Julie's sister, wrote a storybook to tell us

This one hits close to home. Mark, my brother-in-law and friend for 11 years married Brandy, my new sister-in-law and friend this weekend. I loved how in love they were all day!I have so much to say, but will limit it to a final congratulations to them both and a welcome to the family to Brandy.The whole weekend was amazing thanks in large part to our families and also to the following vendors

Last weekend, I was there to see Theresa and Andy get married. The wedding took place at St. Patrick's church, downtown...arguably the most beautiful church in which I've had the pleasure of shooting a wedding!The flowers...amazing, Bloomtastic again. The wedding gown, perfect from Saks and the bridesmaids dresses, outrageous! Theresa's mom made them and I loved every inch!Andy kept me laughing

August is flying by so fast, I can hardly keep up. Apologies to the couples who have yet to see thier blog post and slide show.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

On Saturday, Aug 1, I was fortunate enough to celebrate Pam & Jim's wedding with them. Yes, they were as cute as their namesakes on The Office!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

This weekend I was lucky enough to join Nick & Jennifer as they celebrated their marriage at St. John's Church in downtown Columbus. As luck would have it, a storm brought Jennifer to Ohio and a storm was what started the day. Luckily the storm passed and the wedding went on in perfect weather...just like the luck that brought them together.After the ceremony, thanks to some more of that luck,

Finally was the word that suited Katie & Brian's wedding...having met 7 years ago in their sophomore year Spanish class, everyone was so happy that they were FINALLY getting married.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

Saturday started at the Laura Gregory Salon where Brenda and the girls had their hair done. On to the beautiful Our Lady of Victory in Grandview Heights for a wonderful Catholic ceremony, done by the Deacon who was presiding over his 2nd wedding! He had wonderful words of advice for Brenda and Nathan and truly understood the vows he helped them to make.The flowers were pink and cream roses,

Sarah & Jason's big day was on Saturday! I met Sarah and her mom just a few months back and was so looking forward to this day. Sarah had planned a wedding that had a throwback feel to the 1940's and I just loved every minute of it.We started the day at Dominic & Co. where Christine and Tammy took care of Sarah's hair and nails. Christine and Sarah had been discussing her wedding 'do for the last

Gina and Jason got married on Saturday!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

Ever wonder how to take great wedding images yourself? Take a look at this article from the Sparta Tennessee Expositor. It's got some good ideas:http://www.spartaexpositor.com/articles/2009/06/08/life/doc4a2d55975ae87704233088.txtMy favorite tip? My friends and family will tell you that I ALWAYS say, "Fill the frame!" You get the best pictures when the entire viewfinder is full of your subject.

I had such fun at Nichole & Jay's wedding this weekend. She was beautiful in a Maggie Sottero dress, St. Peter's church in Worthington looked great decked out with the purple themed flowers and Bridgewater did a terrific job from food to decor. Michael, from Sinatra & Friends kept us dancing all night!Many congratulations to Nichole, Jay and their beautiful family. Enjoy the preview!

On Saturday, I was pleased to be the photographer for Christine and Brian's wedding at St. Leo's Church in German Village. It was a beautiful ceremony, highlighted by a heartfelt homily accented with touching stories about their courtship.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

I first found my love for photography with a Polariod camera back in the 1980's. Hundreds of polariod prints littered my parents' house when I was growing up...chances are, if you dig through their basement now, you could probably find at least 50 great prints shoved between books and in shoe boxes.I so loved the Polariod that I used them at my wedding for guests to leave a note and an image for

This weekend I flew to Philadelphia to photograph the wedding of my good friend from college, Amber. From the minute I got to her house, I knew I was in for a fun event! We went to the magnificent King of Prussia mall to the MAC store for make up and back to her house where she & her bridesmaids had their hair done.We then went on to Carinwood Mansion, one of the most beautiful venues that I've

I'm so tired from a whirlwind weekend in Miami that I'm just posting one quick pic of my friend Kellee's beautiful son, Christian.

As always, busy weekends! Cindy, Denelle, Britt (my new assistant-who rocks!) & I had a great time at Goodale Park and then over to the Frog Bear Wild Boar to take some engagement images.These two had me laughing, especially when Cindy started giggling - it is easy to see that they were having fun too.

This weekend, I had the great pleasure of working with another photographer to cover Megan and Josh's wedding. As always in these situations, I walked in and had connections to the bride and some of her friends!

On Monday afternoon, my good friend Colleen called me with breathless news that she was going to be named President of Spartanburg Methodist College in South Carolina.

I know, having been a resident of Ohio for 8 years and Pittsburgh for 20, that there's at least one more snow to come, but nonetheless, I've been celebrating the outdoor time with my kids and husband.The other project that's kept me away from my blog is that we're getting ready to sell our house. It's a charming older home...which means we've had

NEW PRICING!!!Yes, you read correctly. I changed my collections and that's good for you because they are now more affordable for these tough economic times.Every day as I've watched the market drop and heard the woes of my friends and families, I've considered what it must be like planning a wedding today.

On Sunday, I met up with some of our old neighbors to do 2 year old pictures of Casey! We went down to OSU to see all of the Brutuses (Bruti?) that were designed around town and to the stadium. However my favorite images came from just across the street when we were focused just on the birthday boy! He was a natural, except for hating the sweater vest.If you're intrested in setting up portraits

On Saturday, I drove up to Findlay (home of Big Ben Roethlisberger, Go Steelers!) to photograph Karin & Joe's wedding. I met Karin way back when as she is one of Jodi's best friends (see last week) and it was so cool to see her on this most important of days!Even cooler to know that they had the unique opportunity to get married in the same church where they met!

As usual, we jumped the gun as they are probably too young, but we all had a blast anyway.

It was a long weekend at the Minister household. Friday night was spent watching the Opening Ceremonies, Saturday at Ginger & Joey's wedding and Sunday morning, more portraits! Ginger & Joey had such a fun wedding, they were totally laid back and easy to photograph.
