Can you say money!? These two are the money!

I got together with these two on Saturday to celebrate their upcoming nuptials in [digital] film!
Now, you may have followed my Instagram and saw this:

Ouchies! I set Nikki (yes, the camera has a name) on a ledge; I jumped up on the ledge, picked up Nikki and the strap got stuck on the corner of the ledge, jerking her from my hands. She fell from about six feet up. The lens continued to work, although a little more slowly than I’d like.
This all happened right before I snapped this picture:

I couldn’t figure out what colors her eyes were. When I asked her, she didn’t know either. :)
It may have been worth it. Maybe.
We moved right along. We ended up catching some marvelous images.
I love this set!
Here are some of my fave pics of the day:
Wait. I can’t pick. They’re all so good!
Okay, I can do this.
Trying again…
Here are some awesome frames of Allyson and Corey’s love (in no particular order):


Pinky promise: I’m yours forever!


That awkward moment when the photographer says, “kiss” and you and your future spouse forget how to do so…

Me: Are you an arm girl?
Allyson: I’m an everything girl!



Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme!



So much ice her ring finger should be falling off!
Now, I have many more favorites. What? What’s that? You say I can’t have more than one favorite? Well, this is my blog and I write my own rules.
From this point forward, blog owner may choose as many favorite images as she wishes.
There.

Corey and Allyson, may God grant you two a deep and meaningful love that honors and glorifies Him.
Love,

Eek! I’m smack dab in the middle of processing the images from Corey and Allyson’s engagement session. I. Love. These. Pics!
So, I’m taking a quick pause to give you a quick sneak peek–well, mostly Allyson wants a sneak peek.
Check it.

I love it! I can’t wait to get through all the images. Stay tuned!
Love,

A photography friend asked me to help her photograph an engagement session and wedding. Blog friends, meet Haleigh and Andrew.

Haleigh and Andrew are getting hitched in September.
We met on Sunday at the Antrim Park in Worthington, Ohio to celebrate their promises to wed. I caught these sweet images.
This was one of the only requests the couple had: a jumping picture. What a fabulously fun picture!

The two are athletes. They bike frequently. We took a trip with the bikes down the bike trail at the park. Some of the cyclists didn’t like that we were taking pictures. Well, we managed to squeeze in a shot between the speeding cyclists.

This was a pretty sweet nook under an overpass. Andrew was surprised I didn’t need flash for this image. What can I say? I’m skilled! The lighting was perfect!

Bicycle lovin’.

Ever driven north on Ohio 315? This is that funky bridge on the right past the Bethel Road exit. Very cool.

I love snuggle pictures. Andrew, you do a great job snuggling your woman.

I’m looking forward to September, you two! Have fun planning!

Graciously,

Winter break has been simply splendid for me. You should be jealous, as I have over three weeks of break compared to the usual two that teachers get. Conveniently, my family went to Edisto Island, South Carolina for about a week. It was a great time. We laughed until our slides almost split open and–most importantly–I was able to wear flip-flops and a short sleeve shirt almost the entire time. In fact, the day we came back, we left at 4am and I was warm in my flip-flops and tee and came home to require at least a hoodie and real shoes. Sad times.
We went with my immediate family and my mom’s oldest brother and his family. He has three daughters and my parents have three daughters; we always vacationed together growing up.
At any rate, while we were gone, my middle cousin got engaged. Since we were at the beach, I pretty much required them to have engagement pictures taken. Here are some of the results; you can find more of them on the Rejoicing Rebecca facebook.

















I’m wonderstruck that I had an opportunity to take engagement shots at the beach during sunset. I’m from the midwest! This is just amazing to me. Thanks, Jon and Jess, for the wonderful experience! I hope you enjoy your images.
Love one another,

I caught these sweet pics a little over a week ago. I snapped at their wedding over three years go, as well. Check out the warmth.

I edited a mixture of warm and cold pictures; I figured they’d want to frame the warm ones and use the others for other types of art.











What fun! Glad to make Melissa and Ben happy customers again. :)
Warmly,
