Kristen & Doug's Cincinnati Wedding

The weathermen were calling for severe thunderstorms with up to four inches of rain on Saturday. Needless to say, Krissy and Doug were worried that we wouldn't be able to do the outdoor photographs that they wanted. Luck was on our side and even though it rained all morning, the rain literally stopped right before we were to start photographs!

Krissy and Doug are such a sweet happy couple, and I think it was Krissy's bubbly personality that chased the rain away. Krissy and Doug's ceremony was at one of Cincinnati's prettiest churches, Hyde Park United Methodist, so we we're more than happy to do photographs there. It was a wonderful day with lots of friends and family, who kept us laughing all day!

Thanks for sharing your day with us and enjoy Antigua...so jealous! Feel free to leave well wish for the bride and groom below this post in "Comments Rock." Become a Fan of Mark Garber Photography on Facebook and be sure to Tag your photos.

Krissy and Doug had some great wedding vendors. A special 'Thanks' to them too!

Brianna & David!

We had a fun, but super windy, afternoon with Brianna and David. At times, it felt like the wind would sweep us away, but we still got great images! We even had two little deer follow us around for part of the session. It was like Brianna and David had a fan club at the park.

When we were parting at the end of the session, Brianna said, "I thought this was going to be brutal, but this was easy and great!" It made us laugh, and maybe we should add that to our business cards? Have a safe trip back to Florida!

Professional Photographer Magazine

This month we were asked to contribute to a business article in The Professional Photographer Magazine. The article, which is compilation of interviews, starts in the magazine and continues online. If you are a PPA member, you can read the article by clicking on this link.

Mark's long time friend, fellow photographer and past PPA President, Dennis Craft had a multiple page article featuring his children's work. He caught us off guard by mentioning Mark as an inspiration to him. Very sweet of him to think of Mark! Hopefully we continue to inspire you just as you have also inspired us over the years. Thanks Dennis!

Melissa and Ed!

Melissa and Ed had an interesting twist of fate, which ultimately brought them together. Melissa, a police officer, and Ed, a fireman, met on a call. We love to hear stories about how our couples meet and theirs is certainly in the top ten best for sure!

Thanks for the great time at Cox Arboretum. Can't wait for the wedding!

Molly & Andrew at Dayton Country Club

You'll have to ask Molly what the girls were laughing at ;)

Molly and Andrew lucked out last Saturday by missing most of the heavy rain. Molly and Andrew still got sprinkled on a little during some of the photos, but they didn't let it dampen their spirits any!

Molly had a beautiful Vera Wang gown that was accented with wonderfully fragrant spring blooms in her bouquet. The pink peonies (Jennifer's favorite) filled the room with their delicate sweet fragrance. Jeff Martin Florist did a great job using spring's best flowers. The pink and black accents were striking...especially loved the bridesmaids hot pink shoes.

Molly and Andrew were surrounded by tons of friends and family that had the dance floor at DCC packed all night. Fifth Avenue had the place jumping! It was fun to watch everyone have such a great time. Thank you for sharing such a fun day with us. Congrats!

Love + The Newport Aquarium

Tara and Brian met at the Newport Aquarium, while both of them were working there. Needless to say, it was a perfect place to do their engagement session! I have to say it was a first for us too! Working with jellyfish and sharks don't fall into our everyday job description.

Tara and Brian have a beach themed wedding complete with Hawaiian honeymoon so the aquarium fit right into their theme as well. We had lots of fun and also got in some photographs along the Ohio River with Cincinnati's beautiful skyline as a backdrop. We had a super fun time and thanks for the unique photographic opportunity!

Margot & Patrick in Chicago!

Luck was on our side for Margot and Patrick's engagement session in Chicago. With both of them living in different states with busy careers, alone time is hard for them to find...much less get engagement photos done.

Timing was just right that they were able to schedule a trip into Chicago, while I was there attending a workshop. I'm glad we were able to cross paths because we had such a fun time! We hit a lot of Chicago's famous landmarks all while getting to enjoy the spring weather.

Thanks for the great time! Can't wait for the wedding!

Molly & Greg at Yankee Trace Golf Club

So the wait was finally over! Molly & Greg had a long 18 month delay before the wedding while Greg was doing a tour of duty in Iraq. Lots of email and Skype conversations helped to pass the time, but nothing was sweeter than Greg's safe return home!

Molly & Greg had a beautiful wedding with fun bright colors...which fits Molly's personality to a tee. We helped Molly with a lot of her printing needs by designing and printing her seating chart, table numbers and table favors all with a matching theme that coordinated with her invitations. They also had a sign-in-album for guests to sign made from the engagement photos we took of them just days before Greg left for duty. Lots of great details make for a beautiful and memorable wedding for sure!
