Yesterday Angela and I drove to Ohio State campus in Columbus OH to shoot the engagement of one of our September 2013 couples. We made stops at the Journalism building where Lauren & Matt first saw each other, then onto Mirror lake, the Oval and finally the amazing Union building.

Reception quick shot

Here is a quick pic from last Sunday’s wedding in Dayton. We have fun whether behind or infront of the camera. Here I am palling around with the best man Zack. The picture is straight out of the AMAZING Canon 5DMKIII camera and was taken by groom mom Shirley. Well played Shirley, well played.Dayton Wedding Photographer at Presidential Banquet Center

Jana + Anatoly // Married

On Saturday I photographed my first Russian wedding. We spent the morning getting ready at the Cincinnatian Hotel where Anatoly, as is customary in the Russian weddings, had to complete a handful of tasks before being allowed to see Jana. After some quick formals at the Cincinnatian, Motortoys Limousines brought the bridal party to Alms Park for the ceremony and some formals with the guests and family. Over the next two three hours we made stops at the Newport Aquarium, Purple People Bridge, and Piatt Park for more formals before arriving at Pebble Creek for our reception.

Thanks to Niki and Rebecca for their lending their photography skills. Here are select pics from the wedding day. For more make sure to visit our Facebook page.

Enjoy, Max.

I always try to look for great light with which we can “play” to make our Contemporary style of photography stand out. Here I saw a spot light and some cool lines to provide a backdrop for Jana.

The Cincinnatian has an awesome staircase which provides great “Leading lines” for some powerful images composition when coupled with a lot of negative space.

I always give props to people who make my company look good. Here is an example of my assistant Rebecca with a Canon 1DMKIII and 100-400 mm lens. That has to be about my heaviest combination of camera body and gear… at about 5 lbs.Cincinnati Wedding Photographers at Alms Park wedding

Cassie + Brandon // Married


On Saturday Niki, Rebecca, and I photographed Cassie +Brandon’s wedding. You’ll recall their snow engagement earlier this year. Niki and I started at Ault Park in Cincinnati with the formals and then proceeded to St. Aloysius Chapel for the ceremony. To finish the night, we headed to The Bell Event Centre for a great reception led by Scott Chamberlain of the Party Pleasers DJs.

To provide all of the wedding guests with a wedding favor, we rolled out our AWESOME Live Photo Booth and provided 4×6 prints to each guests. Here are some choice pics from the wedding.
