Emily and Ryan's Wedding at the Columbus Greek Orthodox

Emily and Ryan's Wedding was one of my favorite weddings of 2011. Every photo looked like it was portfolio worthy. I think I might make a studio sample album out of this wedding. We started at the Hampton Inn on High street to photograph Emily getting her hair done and a few dress photos. I also love to do commercial work with gifts when ever I get a chance. I had the opportunity to do this with the perfume that Emily received as a gift. I really liked how it turned out. We then traveled to the St. Francis of Assisi Church. The church had such a wonderful glowing light to it from the stain-glass windows on the left hand side. It was perfect because I never use flash during the ceremony. After the ceremony we went to Goodale Park for a few portraits. I took one of my favorite photos of 2011 here. I might get a copy for my wall. When we were walking around the reception hall for a few last second portraits and I was so glad we did. I captured another great photo with the Short North sign in the background along with and beautiful sunset. We arrived at the Greek Orthodox Church Reception Hall and I set up right away for the first dance. I put a remote flash behind them and got some great photos out of that as well. You will be able to view some of my favorite photos from the wedding below.

Kaylan and Kevin's River Club Wedding

I really enjoyed Kaylan and Kevin's Wedding at the River Club at Confluence Park. The view was spectacular! The food was amazing and Kaylan and Kevin were a lot of fun to work with. We started to get ready at the Overbrook Presbyterian Church on 4131 N. High Street. The ceremony was beautiful and I got some great photos of the flower girl along with their exit from the church. We then traveled to Nationwide Blvd Arch Park. The photos that I got from here are some of my favorite from all year. I love it when the entire wedding party lines up and I tell them to start laughing at each other. It breaks the ice and everyone has fun doing it. When then do all the other fun shots along with some romantic photos of just Kaylan and Kevin together. We then went to River Club at Confluence Park for the wedding reception. As I said before the view was awesome and  the reception was fantastic. I back lit their first dance and loved it. The staff at the River Club were great as well. I just wish I had more weddings there because there are so many portrait locations I would love to try. Below are just a few of my favorite photos from their wedding. Congratulations to Kaylan and Kevin on their new life together!

Katie & Justin's Wedding at Galbreath Chapel in Athens, Ohio

Katie and Justin are one of my best clients of this year. They are such a great couple to work with. I love Athens, Ohio weddings so much because everything is so close to each other and there are so many locations around campus that are just beautiful. The weather for the wedding was perfect and we even had Rufus (the Ohio University Bobcat) join us for a few portraits. We started the day at the Ohio University Inn for the wedding dress photos along with a few getting ready shots. We then went to Emeriti Park for a few portraits with Rufus. The ceremony was held at Galbreath Chapel on the Ohio University Campus. I love that the light shined down on their hands during the ceremony. After the ceremony we went to a few locations. We covered College Green, Ellis Hall, Alden Library, and finished up on Court Street. The reception was held at the OU Inn and everyone had a blast!

Erica and Adam's Wedding at The Renaissance Hotel

Erica and Adam's Wedding was quite an experience and I was very happy to be a part of it. We started at Salon Lofts in Gahanna for Erica's hair and headed on over to Charles Penzone also in Gahanna. We did a few portraits before had so we had the "First Look" outside The Renaissance Hotel ballroom. They were so incredibly happy to see each other. We went to the rooftop of The Renaissance Hotel for a few portraits and started the ceremony. The weather was perfect and the ceremony was wonderful. After the ceremony we went to Nationwide Blvd and Genoa Park beside COSI to take a few portraits. They all turned out amazing. We then traveled to The Loft at Smith Brothers for the reception. The Loft is one of the most unique reception venues in Columbus for the fact you can look down from the upstairs down to the middle of the dance floor. Taking photos at this wedding was such a pleasure I wish I could do it all over again. Below are a few of my favorite photos from the wedding.

Jennifer and Michael’s wedding at the Four Seasons

I really enjoyed photographing Jennifer and Michael’s wedding at the Four Seasons in Hilliard Ohio. I started in the getting ready room photographing the dress and the guys getting ready. We started the ceremony inside the Four Seasons because the rain. Thankfully the clouds parted so we could go outside for a few portraits. I love the lake in the background and all the nice features outside. We then headed inside for the first dance and reception. The Four Seasons is a great reception hall.
