Old Man's Cave Engagement Session

Brian Kellogg — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:00:56 +0000

I was amazed how great Hannah and Quincy's engagement session turned out. We started out at Old Man's Cave. We visited the Lower Falls, hiked around and also did a few things at the entrance road of Ash Cave. I was incredible to put my lighting in this area. It highlighted them and all the foliage with the rocks surrounding them turned out awesome. When I looked at the images in camera they were so gorgeous. It was so exciting to see that every image turned out so well. We also went to Athens to do the night session. I got some great imagery from that as well. A select few of my favorite shots are below.

Diane and Casey's Wedding at the Holy Family Church, Columbus Ohio

Brian Kellogg — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 16:00:47 +0000

Diane and Casey are such a great couple. I had so much fun with them and their wedding party. We started at the Holy Family Church on West Broad Street. The church is so gorgeous. I loved the ceremony and the lighting for the formal photos was wonderful. It was nice to have such a warm glow in the background. After the formal photos we had a little fun at Goodale Park. The wedding party had a lot of fun laughing in the background as Diane and Casey led the way around the pond. We also got a few sweet photographs with them sharing a moment on the park bench. We then traveled to the Worthington Holliday Inn for the reception. Here a few of my favorite moments from their wedding.

WaterFire - Brass Band on the Columbus Riverfront

Brian Kellogg — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:14:48 +0000

I like to go events every now and then that I think will photograph really well. I try to check out Experience Columbus and I also follow their twitter to keep up with events around Columbus. When I saw a tweet about the Water Fire I had to check it out. The Brass Band of Columbus played some great music and had a crowd of a few hundred people attending. Below are a few photos of that event. The next event is August 27, 2010 and the Dwight Lenox Jazz Band will be performing.

Amanda and Jon's Wedding in Dayton, Ohio

Brian Kellogg — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:00:20 +0000

I captured some great portraits with Amanda and Jon in Dayton, Ohio despite the extremely hot weather this past weekend. Amanda and Jon are a great couple. I loved photographing their engagement session and I had a lot of fun capturing all the great moments of their wedding. I am glad I went to the rehearsal because We started at the Taverniers Salon and Spa in Dayton, Ohio then traveled to the reception hall Irish Club Banquet Hall to get ready. From there we went to the ceremony at the Polk Grove United Church of Christ in Dayton, Ohio. Here are a few of my favorite shots from that day.

Tucker Lacks Wedding

Brian was awesome! He was so pleasant, fun, and creative. From the beginning of the day to the end of the night, we had such a great time. We were looking for a photographer who would be able to take the traditional wedding photos, but mainly modern and creative pictures. And we found the perfect photographer! The pictures turned out amazing! I would recommend him to any and everyone getting married in Ohio!

Emily and Wayne's Engagement Session in Columbus, Ohio

Brian Kellogg — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:00:48 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing Emily and Wayne's engagement session around Columbus. We covered Franklin Park Conservatory during the day session with Nationwide Blvd, the Short North and OSU campus at night. I love covering new places and photographing the places I have been in a new way. Below are a few of my favorite photographs from the session.

Catherine and Billy's Athens Ohio Engagement Session

Brian Kellogg — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:00:30 +0000

It was nice going down to Athens for Catherine and Billy's engagement session. It was really fun hang out with them capturing some goofy similes and walking around town. I visited a few new spots around Athens mixing it up a little bit. I am finding more and more these days that I should be shooting in different locations all the time. It is so easy to get into a groove of shooting the same shots because it is safe lighting. It is very refreshing to shoot in different areas around Athens and seeing that some areas are better than I thought. As a result of mixing up the locations this engagement session turned out awesome!

Brooke and Jesse's Wedding in Athens Ohio

Brian Kellogg — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:00:59 +0000

I love Athens weddings so much. Everything is so close there is so much more time to take great photos on Ohio University Campus. It was also nice to see that Brooke and Jesse were featured in a article in the Brew Week Guide and the Athens Messenger. I got to introduce myself to their friends and family when I came to the rehearsal the previous day. I also got to see the groomsmen gifts were Converse shoes and I knew this wedding was going to be a lot of fun. We started on Saturday morning at Aveda Raphael's Salon on Court Street then went to the Richland United Methodist Church for the Ceremony. We then traveled uptown Athens for some great shots on College Green and a beer at Pawpurr's on Court Street. The reception was held at Baker Center Ballroom. During the end of the reception I got to show off the images that I captured that day on a projector that was already set up *photo*. It was really cool to see them that big. I also went uptown for Boogie on the Bricks and took a few more photos of Jesse and Brooke enjoying themselves.

Dionne and Stefan's Graffiti Engagement Session

I had a great time with Dionne and Stefan. We went to the Franklin Park Conservatory, found a great place that has Graffiti, and also went downtown at night. I am always happy to cover new places I have not been to. It was a little dangerous but a lot of fun. Here are a few of my favorite images from the engagement session.

Amanda and Adam's Wedding at the Greek Orthodox Church

Brian Kellogg — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:00:58 +0000

I really liked working with Amanda and Adam this past weekend. My wife Jenna got some great shots of the girls getting ready and some beautiful shots of Amanda walking down the aisle. Sometimes I forget how great it is to be in two places at once having two photographers. We started at Amanda's house then went to the East Side Grace Brethren Church for the wonderful ceremony. After the formal and casual photos were taken we headed on over to the Greek Orthodox Church on High Street for the reception. It was great being on High Street at night. I love the area for engagement sessions and never had a newly married couple out there. It was a ton of fun with Amanda, Adam and their whole wedding party.
