Trevin & Shawn November 2008

Trevin and Shawn are huge OSU football fans!  They actually scheduled their wedding to be on the one Saturday in November when the Buckeye's were not playing.  We had the pleasure of shooting their wedding at the OSU Faculty Club.

Trevin had told me when we met that she wanted a picture of her gown hanging.  I thought this was a great shot in her room at the Blackwell.  Her gown literally glowed in front of this amazing window.

And Trevin glowed too as she was getting her hair and makeup done for the big day!

The ceremony, again in front of an amazing window that just lit up their vows!

Shawn was great to photograph.  Here we captured him in a "G Q" moment that was great!

The adorable couple in front of OSU stadium

We actually got about 5 minutes on the field after Shawn talked to the man at the gate.  It was so exciting for this couple (and us) to get their wedding day photos in the stadium!

The first dance.  I love this little close up of their hands together.  Such a sweet moment.

Congratulations Trevin & Shawn!

Nikki & Casey September 2008

I met with Nikki and Casey in May of 2008 and immediately knew this was going to be a fantastic wedding.  The couple knew they were going to be married in September at the Franklin Park Conservatory.  This would be the first wedding ever shot in the brand new "Brides Garden".  There is simply not a more beautiful place in Columbus to shoot a wedding.  At our first meeting Casey had me laughing right off the bat and Nikki was the perfect compliment to his antics.  I knew this was going to be one fun day with this couple!

 

This is great shot of Nikki and her girls getting her ready.  I especially love her little girl looking on in the background.  They had matching dresses that were so cute!

Some little details.

While I was shooting Nikki my assistant got this great shot of her little girl looking down on us.  Way to go Chris for getting such an awesome shot!

Here is a great one of Casey that I took in between gasps for air.  It was really hard to shoot such a funny guy!  He had us laughing so hard I swear there was tears in our eyes!  

The kiss

After the ceremony we shot Nikki and Casey together.  They couldn't have been any more laid back and relaxed which always makes for great photos.

I love love love this picture of Casey giving his Grandma a smooch during the reception!

Congratulations Nikki & Casey!

Jamie & Matt August 2008

I first met Jamie years ago when we worked together at a local office here in Columbus.  I was just starting to shoot weddings on my own and she told me that when she got married I'd be the first one she called to photograph her wedding.  Well Jamie is a woman of her word!  She and Matt had moved to Oregon and gotten married in an intimate ceremony in the woods but they wanted to have a wedding in Ohio for all their friends and family to take part in.  So it was off to Wooster to photograph their wedding at the Quailcrest Farm!

Although it was extremely hot in the little house where Jamie got ready, you would never know by looking at this photo of her.  She was cool, calm and stunning the entire time.

We came across this little shed on the grounds and thought it would be a perfect place to shoot some pictures of Matt.  Sure enough this shady spot made for an awesome backdrop. 

I love this shot of Jamie and her father "coming down the isle".   We watched them walking across the huge lawn towards Matt and their families.  It is just a perfect frozen moment. 

After the ceremony we took Jamie and Matt under a huge weeping willow tree just down from the ceremony site.  These two were just so easy to photograph.  They are truly a perfect match for one another and it shows in every picture we took of them.

Jamie and Matt had  a little down-time during cocktail hour and really wanted to spend it together.   I love this picture of Jamie sitting by the window barefoot.  It really captures her perfectly.

The reception was in a restored barn on the property.  It was so intimate and lovely.  Jamie and Matt hired a local band from Columbus to play, the New Basics Brass Band.  They made sure that everyone had a great time dancing the night away.  

Congratulations Jamie & Matt!
