Holiday Photos {Ohio Family Photographers}

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!! I don't know about you but I'm so excited for 2011. So many new things for us and we can't wait to share. But you'll have to wait:)

While I was back in Ohio for Thanksgiving Chelsey and Kim got ahold of me to do some family photos of them with their siblings. Perfect present for their parents. I was so excited to photograph them. It was so much fun. Cold but fun:) I have to get my brothers to do this but that's like pulling teeth. One day. 

How cute are Kim and her sisters??

And Chels with her siblings...

I love that Mitchell is the only boy. And the youngest. :) He was such a good sport during the whole shoot.

Holiday photos new tag line is: making moms cry one present at a time. Both Chelsey and Kim's moms teared up after receiving the framed photos. Is it wrong to get so much satisfaction from hearing that? :) Keep that in mind and call us for Mothers Day. We'll set up some tear-inducing photos for you, too.

Here's to 2011 and all the great things to come!

Chessa & Josh Married! {Destination Wedding Photography}

Internet, meet Chessa & Josh (their faces might look familiar because they are pasted all over our website:) This couple is special to us for a couple reasons..Chessa is Kimothy's sister in law and Chessa & Josh was our first couple to photograph together as a team; we realized that we COULD do the whole photography business.

So, we traveled back to Ohio to document the perfect Ohio wedding. What is a perfect Ohio wedding you might ask? It goes like this; beautiful weather, two adorable people so excited to get married, even more adorable flower girl and ring bearers, formal photos at a farm including a rustic red barn and a beautiful open field, a pastor that looks and sounds like Owen Wilson (it's uncanny!), a backyard reception complete with a tent that resembles a castle, tons of dancing, family and friends. So, enough of the rambling and on to the photos.....

The line up of flower girl and ring bearers. Cutest/funniest kids around. Kim's niece and nephews (triplets!!)

 

Some seriously awesome shoes (no, she didn't get married in those, just partied)

(above) Kimothy shooting in her bridesmaid dress. (below) why I love photographing weddings..pure love and joy (see what i did there??) ;)

Congratulations you two!! We wish you all the best and many healthy babies for us to photograph!;)

Chelsey & Jeremy Married! {Destination Wedding Photography}

Now we just have to get them to move to CO.....

So, photographing a friend’s wedding goes like this:

Feelings of honor, excitement, nervousness, then to down right panic and now happy (that
they are happy). Emotional roller coaster to say the least. The worst part was hearing all
the sniffles and trying to keep it together during the ceremony (I’m a baby). Best part,
Kayla took over for the reception and I got to enjoy the party.  I'm so happy to have been
a part of their big day and have such an important role. Thanks you two:)

Things I loved about this wedding:

-spending time with my bffs in OHIO!

-the bridesmaids' dresses and the color. love.

-and their shoes. so cute!

-mass amounts of pearl jewelry (Chelsey is synonymous with pearls)

-ribbons wands for the exit of the church

-watching Jeremy's eyes fill with tears as Chels walked down the aisle 

Just to jog your memory, we are talking about these two:

Now that that's out of
the way...let's get to
the photos!

Everyone, come see how good they look. Can't wait till they have babies!!!
