Ashley & Todd Engagement; Schiller Park and German Village

I love getting to know a couple and shooting their engagement sessions is the perfect way.  Walking around outside and laughing and of course snapping some great pics while we get to know each other is a blast!  I met Ashley and Todd at Schiller Park and German Village on one of the first crisp Fall days we have had.  Ashley and Todd were up for anything!  I can't wait until this lovely couple ties the knot this summer.  Here are just a few of my favorite images from our time together.

The Flowers Family; Schiller Park

There is nothing better than a referral from a happy client!  The Flowers Family was referred to me by one of my all time favorite families and I was delighted to  get the chance to capture their family portrait session during our October Portraits in the Park.  I had the honor of photographing not just the Flowers Family but also Grandparents Rita and John and Aunt Christy.  Our location was the beautiful Schiller Park in German Village on a blustery (aka down right cold) October morning.  This family was full of smiles and laughter and warmth and pretty soon the cold air was forgotten.  Below are just a few of my favorite photos from my day with The Flowers Family.

Staci & David; July 27, 2013

You may remember Staci and David from their engagement session at Goodale Park and the Short North last fall.  I knew when I met this couple that their wedding was going to be full of fun and love!  Staci and David had so many great friends and family that their bridal party alone had 24 people in it!  That is a the most we have ever seen in a party and once we spent some time with Staci and David we could see why they were surround by such lovely people! 

The gorgeous ceremony took place at Saint Joseph Cathedral on Broad Street.  From there we jumped in the party bus and went to Schiller Park in German Village for some shots (we even made a pitstop at one of our Groomsmen's lofts and got some great rooftop shots with the city in the background!!).  The day ended at The Columbus Athenaeum where every had a great time dancing the night away.  

Below are just a few of my favorite photos from Staci & David's big day!

Congratulations Staci & David!

Brittany & Mike's Engagement Frank Fetch Park

Wedding Season is finally upon us and I for one could not be more excited! I kicked off the season with an amazing Engagement Session with Brittany and Mike at Frank Fetch Park in German Village. It was so nice to get a change of scenery and shoot in both an urban and natural setting. And I can not express how excited I am to photograph Brittany & Mikes Big New Years Eve Wedding at the Westin!!! What a gorgeous and sweet couple! Here are just a few of my favorites from our day.

I am in love with this pic of Brittany and Mike. It is so sweet and effortless. Love it!

Sometimes it takes awhile for a couple to warm up to having a camera capture their every move but Brittany and Mike were total naturals and it shows in images like this one where they have forgotten I was even there! And that is the secret for a perfect candid photo!

I had to include this shot of Brittany and her STRIKING eyes! It has to be one of my all time favorite portraits to date!

Body language can speak volumes about a couple and from their head to their toes this couple really shows how in love they are.

I love capturing moments like these of true laughter and fun. I have no idea what Mike said to get such a great smile out of Brittany but I am sure that their relationship is full of big smiles and even bigger laughs!

Congratulations Brittany & Mike on your Engagement and we can't wait to ring in the New Year with you!
