Kira and Jason | Part 1

Today’s the day the Kira and Jason will tie the knot… on Myrtle Beach! As of just a couple days ago, there was just the teeniest possibility that an uninvited guest by the name of Earl might show up as a healthy Category 4 hurricane. And when we arrived last night for the rehearsal, we were definitely feeling some of his effects! Serious wind and some killer waves were seen and felt all along the beach! This morning though, there isn’t a cloud in sight, the waves have returned to their standard sizes and I’m watching from my hotel room as the lawn is getting prepped for today’s ceremony!

In just a little while I’ll start shooting all the preparations, but in the meantime I couldn’t help but post a shot I took last night of the beach and some beautiful blooms…

Shooting with Kevin | Maggie and Andy

Any time I get to shoot a wedding with Kevin Keefer, I know it’s going to be a lot of fun!  Case in point… Maggie and Andy’s wedding! Storms threatened off and on all day, but the radar showed some clearing right around the time of the ceremony, so they decided to move ahead with their plans for their outdoor ceremony at the the Browning Amphitheater. The minute Maggie began to walk down the aisle though, lightning crashed and thunder rolled kicking off a downpour that would have sent most brides running for cover. Undaunted, Maggie and Andy began their vows. They were both positively radiant, so a little bit of rain wasn’t going to stop them!

Eventually though, they did decide to move things into the Faculty Club for drier acomodations. Either way, their day was beautiful…And there are pictures to prove it! I’m doing something a little different today and posting a lot of these in Black and White. There’s just a sense of emotion, excitement and anticipation that I think black and white conveys so nicely…

Here, a groomsman checks over the instructions for “how to make a pocket square”…Maggie…A hug from Dad…Andy wanted a shot of the rings…  I rather liked the shadow play with the ring box…Seriously…would you let a little rain slow you down if you looked this fabulous???A view of the ceremony once we moved indoors… The Faculty Club was beatiful!Making it official…

Maggie and Andy:  Congratulations!!  Kevin:  Thanks so much for having me come along!

Brittany | Columbus Senior Photography

This post has been a long time in the making…After all, it’s not every day that I have the opportunity to photograph a high school senior I’ve known for nine years! That’s right, I met Brittany shortly after we moved into our first house. If I remember correctly, she came knocking on our door to see if we had any kids…I think she was disappointed when we told her “yes, but he’s only five months old”.

It’s been such a trip to watch her grow up over the years… Check these out and see what a lovely lady she’s become…

Two Little Girls | Columbus Children’s Photography

You might remember Miss Brenlynn from her blog debut last fall just as she turned three years old. She’s pushing four now, and she’s a big sister to boot! Little sis, Azelin was born in April and continues to amaze everyone around her with her laid back attitude! Here were a few favorites from the shoot…

Thanks so much to Brenlynn, Azelin (and Mom and Dad) for a fun-filled evening of laughter and sunshine!

Stefani | Grove City Senior Photography

Meet Stefani! She’s getting ready to start her Senior year of high school right here, in Grove City! If anyone remembers back to last Tuesday/Wednesday we had some severe storms move through the area. Lightning was so constant and so bright…it reminded me of a flickering fluorescent light bulb..and then rain fell so hard, I thought it would never stop! So all day before our shoot on Wednesday, I kept checking the weather for any new updates. It looked like we were going to be rained out, so I was all set to present Stefani with “Plan B”, when the sun came out! We had gorgeous light to work in once we left the studio and headed to the farm where she keeps her horse, Kara. Check these out…

Stefani,  thank you so much for an awesome shoot!  Best of luck to you as you begin your final year of high school and embark on the next big chapter!
