Keri and Steve are my super cool, hot, stylish, New York City couple... they are totally in love, super excited about photography, and trust whatever crazy suggestion I throw out at them... Keri rocked her Christian Louboutin booties on an über filthy abandonded railcar... YES, she's that awwwesome! I had the motto in my head, go big or go home, for their shoot... so I shot a lot, they made my job easy by just being their gorgeous selves... and here's the delightfully photo-packed blog post. Can't wait for September 5th!!!
Yesterday (yes I'm quick about blogging) I met up with Kiersten and Adam for their engagement photos! I could tell right away by their style that it was going to be a good shoot. I absolutely looooove the shots we got... they've been together 8 years (I hope that's right??) so they have that perfect, chill chemistry that makes my job effortless... ha, well... almost.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!
I am always trying to come up with new places to do portraits, and I knew that Beth & Randy would totally trust whatever I came up with for their engagement shoot. I took them to one, of the many, abandoned buildings in Toledo to do their photos, which has a super cool, minimalist, graphic style! They are a ton of fun (got to love couples with more than one dog!!) and I won't have to wait too long to photograph them again... 19 days and counting!! :)

Freaking LOVE the pug in the front! How funny!
On Sunday, Val and Ben drove in from my hometown of Berea, Ohio to Toledo for their engagement photos. It was the first time we had met in person, we had their initial consultation over the phone and a few emails, so I wasn't sure what to expect of their personalities. Well, they were all smiles, laughs, and a ton of fun... even with Ben feeling a little crummy and both on little sleep... you totally could have fooled me! I am uber pumped about their wedding at the Cleveland Zoo's Rainforest... I absolutely loooove the Cleveland Zoo and have fond memories (and recall a rap song) of the Rainforest!! Their wedding will be beyond rad!
Enjoy :)
Enjoy :)

The following blog post is a result of having an amazing, awesome wedding.
I knew that I would have a ton of fun photographing Tanya & Bryan's wedding when I first met Tanya. She totally 'got me'... she loved my style and wanted it for her wedding. Their engagement shoot was, well, epic... as epic as an engagement shoot can be. And it was during this shoot that I also fell in love with the photogenic radness of Findlay, Ohio.
Their wedding was perfection. Everyone looked perfect..... the whole bridal party was down for whatever I suggested (thanks!!!), the weather couldn't have been any better, and we had a ton of time for photos.... and don't even get me started with how amazing the reception was!
Tanya & Bryan, you are super perfect for each other, you're both amazing!! Thanks so much!!

These pics are STUNNING! Beautiful couple and artistic photography. A joy to view. One "personal" question....what about the dress? Do you know the designer? Where she might have got it?
what if you added that to the list of details about the wedding? just an idea, for us brides to be.
