Andrea and Jay in Germatown

Love this one of Andrea and her father!



Andrea and Jay had a wonderfully intimate wedding the week before Christmas and I have to say it really put me in the Christmas spirit! I was concentrating so much on making sure everything was ready for my son to arrive I didn't even have time to get out my Christmas music. But since it was almost an hour drive for Blake and I to get to Germantown I thought I would dust them off. Andrea was one of the most calm brides I've ever worked with, and Jay was a little nervous, but you could jsut tell it was him wanting to make sure everything was perfect for his lovely bride. It was really nice to have so much time to work with them on an individual level. Most of the weddings we do have large wedding parties and lots of family that need to be photographed, but for Andrea and Jay it was all about them and we wouldn't have had it any other way. I felt like I was shooting old friends I'd known for years. My favorite part of the day was after all the guests had left and the family was cleaning up we snuck over to their new home and got some shots of the sunset and Jay carrying Andrea over the threshold. It was a shot I will never forget, in all my years I've never seen a groom carry his bride over it! Thanks Andrea and Jay it was a blast, you two were such warm and thoughtful people, we hope to get to see you again soon!

Meghan and Nic!

Meghan and Nic got married in November on a gorgeous day! They got married at UD and had their reception at Carillon Park in a new area that is almost finished! They were one of the first couples to have a reception in the new room. When I met them I knew it was going to be a blast working with them because I could tell they were very artistic! I was even more excited to work with them on their wedding day. You can just see how much they love each other and how perfect they are together! We had such a great time with all of the guests and thier wedding party! We loved talking with all of the people from different parts of the country and giving the best man a hard time about being from North Carolina when he was in the home of the Wright Brothers! The day was so much fun and we hope you all enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them!
Meghan and Nic, thank you both so much for having us come spend your wedding day with you! You guys are so much fun and we hope you have a wonderful life together!

Amanda and Alex

Amanda and Alex got married back at the end of October. The first time I got to shoot with them was at their engagement session which was so much fun, it lasted almost 3 hours! It was great getting to know them and talking about cars with Alex. We even did pictures with his Mustang Cobra, which he unfortunately doesn't have anymore. The weather was perfect and the leaves had tons of color! We met them at Country Club of the North, where their reception was later that day. They were both so excited about the day and the bridal party was excited as well! They were a fun group to work with and made our job really easy all day! It was such a great ceremony and we could really feel the love from everyone who was there to be a part of the wedding! When we got to CCN we were able to use some of the amazing color in the trees to get some great pictures, it was just like their engagement session! The reception was really fun and we had a blast being outside right next to the dance floor all night with the PhotoGuestbook! It really made for some creative and unique guestbook pictures! We hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
Amanda and Alex, thank you both so much for being such great people to work with! We enjoyed every minute of your wedding day and we had so much fun with the two of you! We wish you nothing but the best as you start your new lives together and hope you enjoy all of your photos!

This was one of our favorites because it is just so funny and we don't see this at every wedding!

Karen and Andrew

Karen and Andrew are getting married this summer! We meet up last week for their engagement session at The Greene. They wore some of their totally cool Ohio State gear. It was so much fun and I know their wedding will be too. Their colors are also scarlet and gray, which will be awesome! Go Ohio State! Check back in the summer for more from this great couple and their wedding photos! ~Lauren

Melinda and Bo

Melinda and Bo got married in October in Dayton and it was such a great day! The weather was perfect and their bridal party was so much fun! We knew it was going to be a great day when one of Melinda's bridesmaids came up to us and gave us one of the delicious soft pretzels from the pretzel place down the street! We got to shoot in an area we don't get to visit very often so it was really nice having new things to work with! Melinda and Bo are some of the nicest people we have ever worked with and it was so great being able to have a lot of time with them! Not only were the bride and groom great to work with but we got to shoot the cutest and sweetest little flower girl we have ever had, Emma! The day was so much fun and Melinda and Bo did such a great job putting everything together! On our way to the reception at Lake Lyndsey we stopped in some really neat places in Middletown and at beautiful Armco Park! The trees were amazing and we got some really good shots with all the nice fall colors! Lake Lyndsey was the perfect place for their reception and we had so much fun with all the guests. They were so lively and very much into the PhotoGuestbook becuase it was one of the biggest ones we have ever had! Great job to all the guests! Enjoy the photos everyone!
Melinda and Bo, thank you both so much for giving us the opportunity to come be a part of your wedding. You two were great to work with and we had a blast with you! Thank you for giving us time to work with you and for treating us like family. We hope the photos bring you guys as much joy as they did for us when we were shooting them!

Steph and Scott

Steph and Scott got married back at the beggining of October in Dayton. It was such a fun day with them and their wedding party! We shot the guys downtown and were able to get into the Dayton Dragons stadium to do some really cool stuff! We started taking the girls pictures at Square One Salon in Centerville where Steph works and eventually ended up going downtown to do some pictures with the girls and went to the Square One downtown, so that day we really did go back to Square One! After the ceremony we went downtown when it was dark and did some really neat pictures with the wedding party..out in the middle of Third Street! The reception was at Top of the Market and it was so much fun! We had such a great time with everyone and loved some of the creative PhotoGuestbook ideas! Thank all of you so much and we hope you enjoy the pictures!
Steph and Scott, thank you both so much for having us come be such a big part of your beautiful wedding! You are two of the nicest people we know and loved being able to work with you! We wish you the best in your lives together! Oh and Scott, thanks for the kisses and the end of the night! Getting a kiss on the cheek from the groom was a first for us! We hope you guys enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed shooting them!

Amy and Ryan

Amy and Ryan we married at one of my favorite churches in Dayton, Holy Angels. I love Holy Angels cause some of my all time favorite weddings have been there, Fitting for Amy and Ryan, because they made that list! I usually share my favorite part of the day but this one is a twofer. Amy and Ryan saw each other for the first time outside the church just before the ceremony, it was great for them to shake off their jitters and get the family photos done but for me it was great to be a part of Amy's big reveal with Ryan. They were both anxious to see one another and the moment Ryan got up to Amy all he could do was grin ear-to-ear and giver her a great big hug. It was so adorable to see the them looking into their eyes and see those pre-wedding jitters melt away. I loved when they got to open their gifts, Amy had this really awesome drawing made that had all the little things from their past on it, along with their new place. It was funny to hear some of the stories, the Chinese food, the prom proposal with Mickey. I have never seen a more thoughtful gift in all my years as a wedding photographer, job very well done Amy! So we had a great ceremony and then the rain came. It didn't bother them a bit! We just cracked open the umbrellas and went to all the places we planned on, I was a little more dry on my drive there but I wasn't in the windowless trolley! My other fav of the day was shooting the two of them under the umbrella, while most couples would think twice, a third, and fourth time about shooting in the rain they just grabbed the umbrella and put their trust in me and enjoyed themselves. I really think their work in the rain is the best I've done, heck it was the cover of their PhotoGuestbook! We even all stopped for ice cream, weddings don't get any better! Thanks Amy and Ryan, you and your families were so fantastic to work with. I hope you enjoyed the rain and the rest of your wedding as much as I did! Click here to view all the images. -Nick

Brittany and Andrew E-session!

We shot Brittany and Andrew's E-session out at the Greene and it was a lot of fun. We were able to shoot the session on a brisk Wednesday afternoon during Andrew's lunch hour. We had a great time talking and getting to know each other. I know their wedding will just be as chic as they come! Check back next year for their wedding images, Thanks! ~Nick

Congrats Amanda and Tony!

Amanda and Tony got married in October and it was truly a beautiful wedding! Normandy Church is one of my favorite churches to shoot at because it is so unique. Both inside and outside of the church are awesome and it went so perfectly with the colors and flowers that Amanda and Tony picked out. They did such a great job with planning everything and it all came together just so amazingly. On top of that, the love they share shown brightest of the day and made everything just that much more perfect! Such an totally adorable pair and two of the sweetest people you could ever wanna meet and they are perfect for each other! Thanks to everyone for letting Marci and I be apart of such a special day and for making us feel so welcome! Enjoy the photos and to see all the rest just simply click here. Thanks! ~Lauren
