With this wedding we travelled around the Cincinnati proper, including St. Cecilia’s Parich, Purple People Bridge, Spring Grove, and Cincinnati Museum Center. Lastly, the dress that…

Today, Niki and I met one of our May 2011 couples for our e-Motion Engagement Sessions at Cox Arboretum. Both Sara and Anthony wore their wedding colors of purple and black, although they claim it was unplanned and just happened that way. Either way, we spent a couple of hours exploring the Cox grounds and…

Katie, my intrepid second photographer and I traveled to Western Cincinnati yesterday for John and Cindy’s wedding. When I met with John and Cindy, the original plan was not to see each other before the wedding, however based on the fact that late evening September weddings in Cincinnati are usually not conducive to any post…

I don’t often get to a chance to work with three photographers at my weddings, but when the clients require the “ultimate” photography experience, along with video services personally provided by Jeff Hill and Duffy Garber of PartyPleasers DJ providing awesome sounds, then it is time to bring out my photography crew. Here I am…

Beautiful couple, great weather and spectacular venue equal a great wedding of Bryon and Erin at Manor House. Check out the dove on top of the gazebo. Ironically enough, the cake topper was also a dove. Coincidence? You be the judge. During all of our receptions, we pay close attention to color of the ambient…

Second wedding of the weekend brought me to Kumler Chapel in Oxford OH for another, say it with me “Miami Merger Wedding”. I was told that Miami University is known for generating the most wedding couples (Miami Mergers) of any college in the country. Must be something in the water. Great weather allowed us to…

Reception – Manor House DJ – Jeff Clarke of Party Pleasers DJ Video – Shawn Young of Matrimoments Productions Love how the skies are vivid blue. I gelled my flashes to get the subjects properly balanced while getting…
