I had the opportunity to work with Christopher Chambers and Angela Packer again - and, per usual, it was a blast! There is so much talent in the CP Studio that I am constantly amazed. Truly gifted in the fine art of hair. Here are a few images from the shoot - I guess I should really post some from the last shoot sometime too ;)
This shoot was all about one thing .... COLOR!
I headed up to Columbus for Reena and Michael's engagement session. I was really looking forward to it - they had some fun locations they wanted to show me! They are such an adorable couple whose personalities I fell for immediately! I always try to capture my couple's relationship at the engagement session and when Reena got the disc with the images she said 'I don't know how you did it, but you captured US - and so quickly!' - makes my heart smile! Onto the images ...
Reena and Michael ... I can't wait for the wedding - which is RIGHT around the corner!!! Woo hooo!!!!
I had been looking forward to Amanda and Nick's wedding ever since our first meeting. Amanda is the wittiest person I have ever met and Nick is just 'cool' - 'nuf said. Their wedding fell on my birthday. Those of you who think that working on your birthday doesn't sound like fun, have obviously never met these two! Or their fabulous families and friends. I couldn't have been happier about spending my day with them :)
I can't even tell you how many images I loved from this wedding, so I tried to post the ones that captured real moments or had great emotion in them. For a lot more, please watch the slideshow at the bottom of the post.
I started out at Amanda's parents house and this is how I was greeted! A cake!?!? If I didn't love them before, I definitely did then!
I love this shot of Amanda leaving her room that she grew up in with her new name on the back of her hoodie ....
her gift from Nick was a beautiful bracelet ...
then she just said 'Ok ... I have to go see my fiancee!' .... and we headed out!
Meanwhile, Karen was with the guys ... love this shot
Nick got a new 'toy' for his wedding gift ... in the words of Napoleon Dynamite "wanna play me?"
an overall of the guys hanging out ... even Reginald made it in the shot. Reginald Rooster is Amanda and Nick's 'garden gnome'. I told them they should take him on the honeymoon and get pictures taken with him everywhere.
Leisa is an amazing makeup artist whom I have worked with a couple of times. I was so happy for her when she told me that she was engaged and even happier when I met Christian. What a perfect couple. Being that Leisa and Christian both had studied the arts, they said that they were particularly critical of their photography. After chatting with them and going through some of my work, they decided to have me photograph their big day. I am honored. For their engagement session, we headed over to Spring Grove and got some amazing images for them. Onto the photos ...
Leisa and Christian, I am really looking forward to the wedding in October!
Jamie and Matt were a referral from one of my favorite couples, Brittany and Jacob so I think it was safe to say that I knew I would love working with them! One of the bonuses of getting wedding referrals - you get more great couples!!
Here are some of the images from their day ...
Jamie and one of her bridesmaids looking at the seating chart for the reception ...
the gorgeous dress ....
and, of course, her fabulous shoes - can we say 5" heels???
Jamie running upstairs to get something ... love that her shirt has her maiden name on it ... her last day with that name!!!
getting her hair done by the amazing Brittany - who does hair for a lot of her sorority sisters on their wedding day
nails ...
I love the way the flower girl was looking at Jamie while she got her hair done ...
Jamie telling her mom something about the seating chart 'mishap' ...
