I had been looking forward to shooting with Lauren and Dustin for quite some time. We had an absolutely perfect day to shoot outside. Being in Ohio, it's really anyone's guess as to whether mother nature will cooperate.

Any time I can get by the water it just triggers inspiration. The surf, the warm sun, the cool breeze... it all makes for some epic photography. It just feels good.

Lauren picked out some great outfits to bring along which gave us an opportunity to really push what we could get out of their engagement session. When they stepped in front of the lens, I just knew. Their love for each other came through with every shot. I couldn't ask for anything more... the day was perfect.

Enjoy the vid / pics!

I love shooting at the beach, and luckily, we've had quite a few couples this year that were excited to make the drive up to one of the most beautiful areas in Ohio. This summer has provided us with some amazing weather and gorgeous sunsets. Ashley and Jimmy first approached us during the winter months about their wedding plans. I knew from the first time I sat down with Ashley that this was going to an opportunity to shoot something really special. Jimmy had experience with wake-boarding from an early age, so doing a shoot up at the lake was naturally perfect for him. Ashley is simply radiant, and her personality comes across in every photo.

I wanted to share some of my favorite pics from their shoot, and I think you'll agree, they look great together!

Steve and I had a great time shooting Sarah and Michael's wedding a couple weekends ago. The sun was shining, and everyone was in great spirits! Sarah and Michael got married at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Columbus, Ohio.  Shortly after, their reception was held at the Ohio State Bar Association which was very close by.

The day went very smoothly, and everyone enjoyed the down-time before the ceremony.  Everyone's nerves were calm, which made our job that much easier and allowed us to produce some beautiful photography for a lovely couple.

The night ended with several formal dances at the reception hall.  Lots of guests got involved in the dancing, which proved to be a lot of fun for everyone.

Congratulations to Sarah and Mike!
