Sometimes things just work out perfectly. Rain was in the forecast for Rachel and Mark’s wedding, and that can always throw everyone into a little bit of a panic. And it did rain. But miraculously only when we weren’t doing photos. The overcast skies gave us some great light, and we managed to get all of the photos we needed without getting too wet. God rarely works on our schedule, but He was gracious enough to give us some windows throughout the day.

It helps that Rachel and Mark are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and they’re comfortable in front of a camera (thanks in part to shooting their engagement session last fall). Their bridal party was hilarious, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day (well, besides some sun).

Make sure you check out Rachel’s little surprise for Mark… those shiny white cowboy boots!

P.S. How do you like the new larger blog photos?

Ceremony: Linworth Methodist Church

Reception: The Conference Center at Northpointe

Downtown Cincinnati. Need I say more?

Cherie and Ben had a fantastic idea. They drove around downtown and mapped out a “photo adventure” for their wedding day. They picked some of their favorite spots around the city and came up with a plan ahead of time. It worked out great (as you would expect), and we were able to shoot in some really unique locations with a wide variety of textures and colors.

We love it when couples are excited about their photos! One of the most important services your photographer can offer is the ability to help you plan your wedding day schedule. That’s why we take time to work together with our couples to make sure their ideas and our expertise mesh. It not only helps things flow smoothly, but it lowers your stress level and allows us to take the great photos that you expect!

Oh, and we’d be silly if we didn’t mention her amazing CHEESECAKE wedding cake. Umm… delicious.

Feeling short on words and short on time today, so I’ll keep this brief. Last weekend we had the joy of spending Saturday with Clare and Geoff in Columbus. The ceremony was held at a little old catholic church in Victorian Village, and the reception was at the Ohio State University Faculty Club. Enjoy!
