Dave and I are so lucky to have friends like the Suttons.  First off, they are the whole reason Dave and I are together, but they’re also great because they continue to think of us and be great friends even though their lives are completely different from ours.  Their kids are three of the best behaved children I know.  And cute!!

Thanks Suttons for being our friends.

Lindsay + Elliott | Engagement

While in Toledo for Andrew and Amanda’s wedding, I met up with Lindsay and Elliott for an engagement shoot.  Elliott is the brother of Allie who I shot her engagement pictures a few months ago.  We met up at the Toledo Botanical Garden and found some beautiful places to shoot.  Thanks you guys for having fun with me!

Jeni + Brian | Photobooth

November 17, 2008 | Filed Under Inside the Booth | Leave a Comment 

The Embassy Suites Rivercenter was the host for Jeni and Brian’s reception and what a wonderful location it was.  The photo booth was located in the lobby as guests came to and fro from the party.  We had a great time listening to people giggle, seeing all the great pictures, and putting together a fabulous scrapbook.

Congratulations Jeni and Brian!  Thank you for letting us be part of your special day.

Let’s start with a little bride and groom action…

Vanessa + Billy | Wedding

Way back in September I got to capture the wedding of Vanessa and Billy.  This was only the second wedding I was shooting as the primary photographer and I was nervous to say the least.  But, I think things turned out beautifully.

Buckle your seat belts!  There are A LOT of pictures!

Let’s get started with a little bling…

Amanda + Andrew | Photobooth

November 7, 2008 | Filed Under Inside the Booth | 1 Comment 

I have been to a lot of weddings in my day, but this one has to be one of the most beautiful ones I’ve seen.  (I’m guessing I’ll be saying that a lot as our wedding business continues to grow!)  Amanda had the most amazing lace dress with a matching shawl and a beautiful feathered hair pieces instead of a veil.  If I were to get married again (and I hope that never happens), that is exactly what I would wear.  The wedding was at Nazareth Hall in Grand Rapids, Ohio.  The staff there was more than hospitable.  They went the extra mile for us; I can only imagine what they did for Amanda and Andrew.  Congratulations you two and thanks for letting us be a part of your special day.

Here’s a little picture I snuck during the ceremony with my iPhone.

Amanda and Andrew chose our scrapbook option.  This is a great idea and creates an immediate gift and memory from the event.  With our scrapbook option we provide the scrapbook, pens, and adhesive.
