This past Saturday Dave and I took a roadtrip up to Port Clinton to be part of the wedding between Carrie and Dave. Their wedding and reception were held at the beautiful Mon Ami Winery. What a party! The photo booth was in use the WHOLE night and there were some fantastic pictures taken inside. Buckle your seat belts….this is going to be a wild ride!
Let’s start with a little bride and groom action…
How about some kissy faces….
And a little snuggling…
Now it’s time to party…
Funny story…this next picture was taken right before the dad licked the little boy in the ear. The boy was so angry at his dad ruining his picture. And as we giggled he yelled at us, “It’s not funny.” Dude, it was so funny.
Man, this crew must have taken like 40 pictures inside the booth….
Even the incomparable Kitty Maer and her assistant got in on the action…
Thanks Carrie and Dave for having us at your event. We had a blast!!!
Mary + Brad | Engagement
March 25, 2009 | Filed Under Couples | 1 Comment
Two years ago I was starting my sixth year of coaching high school track and it was the first year I had a staff. I had another assistant coach and a volunteer. The volunteer, Mary, was a new, young teacher at the school and was one hell of a track star in her day. Seriously. I believe she finished third in the mile at state and went on to run at Columbia. Mary and I became instant friends and spent many days and many miles together. We even ran the Columbus Marathon together that next fall.
That summer Mary went on a blind date. A blind date that had been set up by one of her students. I remember the first meeting….she was kinda wishy washy about the whole thing. :) They continued to go on dates and she began warming up to him. I finallly met him and I totally approved. A few weeks ago I got a text from Mary….”We’re engaged!!!” Then I got another text, could I do the engagement pictures and soon? What was soon? Soon was a week later because Brad was shipping out the next day. Brad’s in the Navy and will be heading to Kuwait.
These pictures are so them. It’s so nerve-wracking to take pictures of your real friends, but you also can get it right because you know them so well. Mary and Brad, I hope you love these.
I love this pictures. Mary’s a Mets fan; Brad a Yankees fan. They’re both from Ohio. What gives? At least Mary lived in NYC for 6 years.
This picture screams, “BUY A HUGE CANVAS OF ME!!!!” My favorite.
Here’s a great story. Mary’s grandfather was in the Navy and she had a framed picture on her wall of her grandparents together with him in his uniform and she was in her trench. Mary wanted the picture recreated. I think we did a good job. First is her grandparents; second is Mary and Brad.
I LOVE shooting engagement pictures. I love the way they touch each other, look at each other, giggle at all the same times. I love that look.
