Earlier in the year, we were asked by family friend and swim-mate Dara Strader to shoot the nuptials of her son and fiance, Josh and Laura on September 29, 2012. Amber knew Josh, but hand't yet the pleasure of making Laura's acquaintance, I knew neither so we knocked out 2 birds with one stone when we arrived with cameras in hand. After it was all said and done and we were driving home, we agreed that the day spent with the bride, groom and their bridal parties felt very similar to hanging out ... View Post
Reva & Adam Hurless
It's always an adventure meeting a couple and shooting one of the most important days of their lives' an hour or so post-introduction. We'd be a lying if we claimed that we didn't feel a little pressure in these situations. But when the bride, groom and their respective friends and families are as generous and fun to be around as the Norman and Hurless clans, what starts out as nervous anticipation quickly transforms into relaxed and endearing + exciting commitment to creativity. We arrived ... View Post
Tiffani & Carlton Jarrett
Friends Tiff & Carlton had us along for their engagement shoot this past, ahem, fall. We've found after many o' shoot, if the chemistry between the couple is tangible just by hanging around the them, the pictures are going to be special. Tiff & Carlton were no exception. When we earned the opportunity to shoot their wedding, our anticipation, at times, was explosive. The ceremony took place on the front 9 of the Alliance Country Club. The weather threatened, but remained ... View Post
Kelsee & Michael Cappon
Could the weather of Mike & Kelsee's winter engagement shoot have contrasted any more with the weather on their big day? We think not. The sun was shining brightly under a clear blue Ohio summer sky at Country Cottage and Gardens which housed both the ceremony and reception. The people and weather came together to make for a beautiful day. We've taken in our fair share of wedding ceremonies, but saw something new when Mike, Kelsee and their respective bridal parties flew Chinese sky ... View Post
Marisa & Nick Hough
Nick & Marisa took a chance on us, they were officially our first booked wedding after we decided to start our business last May. Additionally they're family friends so the normally high stakes were even higher when their big day came to pass. We've learned that shoots are as good as they can be with the variables in play come show time, the more favorable they are, the greater the probability of an amazing shoot. How amped we were when we walked in to the breath taking St. Joseph ... View Post
Meredith & Luke McCartney
July 21, 2012 was such a beautiful day. We were honored to be chosen as the wedding photographers for Meredith Traxler and Luke McCartney. Their simple and elegant ceremony was held at Leesville Faith Community Chapel in Leesville, Ohio. Their reception at Bistro 131 in New Philadelphia, Ohio was filled with family, friends and great food. We had a great time with Meredith and Luke and captured many great shots in between the ceremony and reception. We played around on the railroad tracks ... View Post
