Katie & Tyler's Schuster Center Wedding




To say we had fun with Katie and Tyler and all their friends and family would be an understatement! Katie and Tyler wanted to have a relaxed, carefree day and not take the wedding day too seriously. We laughed all day and had a great time celebrating right along with them.


Katie and Tyler incorporated many traditions and mementos from their lives to personalize the day. They met at Ohio State so of course guests got to enjoy yummy Buckeye treats. Greek music and traditional dancing started off the festivities. Guests also could view a slide show of Katie and Tyler growing up throughout the years. And of course, the most important thing to Katie and Tyler was having so many friends and family travel from far and wide to celebrate their special day with them. It's very apparent that Katie and Tyler have many close relationships to cherish!


Katie and Tyler are now relaxing (and hopefully winning big!) in Las Vegas this week. Feel free to leave well wishes for the newlyweds below or see and tag more images on the studio's Facebook page. In case you missed their engagement session, you can still view it here. Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.!

Melissa and Devon at The Manor House




Melissa and Devon dated throughout their college years at Ohio State and used that for their wedding inspiration. Aside from the red color palette, guests also got to enjoy yummy Buckeye wedding favors and got to dance the night away to Hang on Sloopy :)


Their fun loving friends and wedding party had us laughing all day. Devon's Bestman made a great toast and stole the show at the reception trying to win the scavenger hunt. Melissa and Devon also surprised their guests by turning their firs dance into a flash mob with the rest of the wedding party and a few guests joining in on the fun...great idea guys!


Melissa and Devon had also picked the Manor House for their ceremony and reception. The perfect amount of clouds rolled in just in time for the ceremony making perfect lighting (us photographers love that sort of stuff). The lush garden and gazebo made for a beautiful ceremony. The newlyweds are relaxing in Hawaii this week...so jealous! However, you can leave them messages below or see more images on the studio's Facebook page. Congrats!

Brittany and Jonathan, Shawnee Country Club




Brittany and Jonathan have known each other since kindergarten and their wedding day was another wonderful in their long history together. Their friends and family are all very close, which made for one great party at the reception!


Their wedding was at the Shawnee Country Club near Lima, Ohio. We rarely get to travel that far north, but the trip was definitely worth it! We had a great time laughing with the wedding party and their families all day. I think we all had just enough fun to forget about the hot August weather.


Brittany and Jonathan had a fun color palette of hot pink and royal blue and added touches of whimsy with their polka dot cake and flower girl dresses. Guests also got the extra treat of having their own miniature versions of the bridal cake delivered to their tables. If their sweet tooth was happy yet, they also could enjoy the cotton candy machine (with blue and pink cotton candy of course!) and the assortment of gummy candy skewers.


Brittany and Jonathan are relaxing this week on the beautiful white sands of St. Lucia. Feel free to leave the newlyweds well wishes below. You can alsosee more images on the studio's Facebook page. We'll have their slide show posted later today. Congrats!

Kim and Brian and Dayton Art Institute





Last weekend we had the honor of photographing Kim and Brian's elegant wedding at the Dayton Art Institute. Mother Nature decided to have the biggest heatwave of the year with temperatures in the triple digits. However, we worked with frequent air conditioning breaks and didn't let the heat get us down.


Brian works in the for Getty Images in Chicago so the pressure was on for us to get take great images :) The museum is the perfect venue this time of year because it has many beautiful places to photograph without having to go outside. Kim and Brian also had decorated with a classic black and white color palette making the museum look gorgeous.


Kim and Brian had many thoughtful touches throughout the wedding from all their nieces and nephews participating in the wedding (I love the shots of them walking down the isle) to Brian's Dads band performing during the reception. Friends and family traveled from far and wide to celebrate with Kim and Brian making for a very memorable evening.


The newlyweds are currently honeymooning in Hawaii, but feel free to leave well wishes in the Comments section below. You can also visit the studio's Facebook page to see more images. Enjoy!
