heather & andy ~ 11.14.09

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Can I just say that we had a great day with Heather & Andy ~ they got lucky with the weather and it was still such a nice fall day [with sun!!] in November. We found some leaves at a ‘vacant’ house, had fun with a corn field and even went to the bar where it all started… :) These two are such a fun and laid back couple, lots of laughs which made the day filled with smiles. You know it’s going to be a good day when the bride & groom have great friends and awesome family members in the bridal party ~ I can’t say enough about how nice everyone was annnnnd how entertaining they were at the reception. Fun times! I sure hope you are having a blast on the honeymoon!!

making wishes for 25 years

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Awhile back I had a great opportunity to photograph an event celebrating 25 years for the Make A Wish foundation in Toledo. It was hosted at The Toledo Club downtown with many local vendors volunteering, donating and giving what they do best. Lots of goodies to eat, great music to listen to and the Photo Booth Live was and always a great hit as the evening went on. I’m so glad to be part of this and hope to do it again! Here is a sampling of the details and hard work Brittany put into the event!

kelli & mike ~ 10.24.09

This wedding was definitely one of my favorites ~ I loved being part of Kelli & Mike’s big day for so many reasons. They are 2 of the sweetest people with an incredible bond. Their friends & family are just the same with great sense of humors, fun personalities and fantastic to work with. It was a perfect fall wedding. And yes, there is a lot of yellow leaves and admit it - I couldn’t get enough. :)

details. details. details.

Okay…this is my last engagement session post – I’ve officially caught up with them! woohoo ~  Now onto a few weddings to edit, a wedding to shoot tomorrow, a few family sessions waiting – I will have almost 4 weeks to catch up, enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and prepare for my December weddings!!
Let me introduce another Amanda :) and her fiance Jay. I met them in the middle of nowhere, aka Ottawa or Ohio City or Lil’ Cleveland (or was that the school?) haha. Anyway, it was great to see where they live and see the church they will become husband & wife in. Also loved all the textures ~ the barns, fences, etc. Fun times. :) thank you for a great shoot! Looking forward to the wedding in May!
