Maggie + Brandon | Montpelier, Ohio Wedding Photographer

My heart has always had a special place for winter weddings. The chill, all the sparkle, the glow of the lights, the snow, and the holiday love all make it so special. Maggie and Brandon were lucky enough to get a beautiful snow on the day of the wedding, and it made everything even more perfect. Their love for each other is so comfortable, and it has really stood the test of time already. They have both become very special to me, and I thank them for treating Trevor and I like an extension of their family.

Trevor caught this special moment. I just love the way he looks at her.

This image has become my favorite of the day. It feels like such a classic black and white.

These girls had so much fun! Their laughter was infectious!

I love this moment!

Gilsdorf| Family

Everything about my first session with this family was amazing, and I was so excited that they called me to schedule another one this fall. Oak Openings had so many things for Mason to get into that I definitely got my workout that day chasing him. It was worth it though and so much fun! And having their two dogs there was an added bonus. I just love dogs! Enjoy!

Elizabeth + Justin | Engagement

I have never been so excited for a photo session! When I got this email from Elizabeth, one of my 2010 brides, I literally jumped up and down!

Just wanted to let you know that Justin and I are super pumped about our
engagement pictures! After much contemplation.... We are going to try for
a 1970's look... not crazy, bright, loud, hippie, retro 70s... but more of
a classy vintage style.

Along with the email she sent me this image as their inspiration.



I was speechless for awhile. I have been wanting to do something like this for so long and know the right couple had come along! After more planning and lots of brainstorming, I don't think the session could have been any better. Justin is wearing a three piece vintage suit that he borrowed from a friend, and Elizabeth got her dress off of ebay and then had it altered. They brought along a record player and some old records, and I brought along my thrift store suitcases that I bought months ago waiting for just the perfect session. We chose to go to downtown Bowling Green for the session. It became the perfect background to create the vintage 70's look.

Thank you Elizabeth and Justin for not only stepping outside the box, but challenging me in a whole new way also! I cannot wait for your 2010 wedding!
Enjoy!

I loved Elizabeth's shoes, and she just found those at a local thrift store the night before our session!

We stumbled upon this record store, and I could not pass up an opportunity like that.

This is another idea that they found while looking at images online. (They did their research!) They handmade this quilt with their wedding date and are going to use these images for their Save The Date. How cute is that?
