Wedding Image Sneak Peek

As photographers,  we are always searching for unique moments and we have been fortunate that each wedding we have attended always gives us something new to capture for our couples. We photographed a wedding this weekend that fit the bill of being unique.

A little bit about the groom and bride and their wedding party

Allison is a becoming a EMT paramedic and Duane is a volunteer fire fighter. So what did they do to make their images a little bit more unique? They included Fire Fighters in their wedding party – actually all of the groomsmen as well as the groom were part of one fire department, which gave us access to one of their fire trucks – that spelled picture opportunities for us.

The ceremony was great, family portraits were done outside in 92F + weather (no one melted) and then it was time to play with the firetruck.

Here is a sneak peek of a few images from their wedding day.

If you were at Allison and Duane’s wedding, or you are relatives, and would like to be contacted when their images are ready for viewing – send us a note and we will email you a link to their images when they are up on a private gallery.

Allison and Duane – enjoy your honeymoon and congratulations your marriage. Thank you for having us be a part of your wedding day.

Looking back at some of the images that we have captured during the summer, it seems hard to believe that we are waiting for snow to start flying.

That aside, its never too late to have some outdoor images captured – plus our studio is nice and warm to capture those important steps in one’s family history. Children grow up so fast, and go away on their own to make their way in life – a family portrait is a great way to freeze a moment in life. Wall portraits always make a great gift for your family. Get a hold of us to schedule your session before Christmas comes and goes.

We photographed Kayla and Justin’s wedding a few weeks ago, and after they have had  a chance to look over their pictures, we post them on our site to share with others.

Their day started off as most wedding days do – the bride and groom show up to the church and they start getting ready for their day. Having the advantage of being a couple wedding photography company, we offer our couples something different then a single wedding photographer. Nicole can be with the bride, and Bruce can follow the groom around to create portraits before the ceremony. Not only does this offer a different vantage point because we have 2 cameras capturing images – but its something that the brides appreciate because Nicole can be there to help out.

This was another amazing wedding and we were grateful to be a small part of Kayla and Justin’s start of their new live together.

Congrats Kayla & Justin.

Here is their slideshow, which contains a select number of portraits.

Here are Janell and Courtney Begue’s wedding images.

The day started as any wedding would – ladies getting ready and the men just hanging around. Things changed quickly when we were ready to have portraits done – the guys were ready and the ladies were not too far behind. Everyone was looking at the weather, as rain was being predicted for the day. The ceremony was held outside and they had an indoor reception. This worked out perfectly as the rain held off till we starting photographing family images in the gazebo.

Janell and Courtney were surrounded by their family and friends and had a great day to be married. The ceremony was great, the balloon release was something to see and the reception hall was decorated amazingly. The food, finger food and their cake + cupcakes for the guests were also amazing.

Janell & Courtney – thank you for allowing us to share in your wedding day.

Their Slideshow

Ashley and James were married September 18, 2010.

Why do we love weddings? We get to capture such a special day in a couple’s life. Getting married, being around loved ones and also wearing those fancy outfits (including the photographer) happens every once in a while and it’s great that we can be there to capture those memories for our couples. By the end of the night, the vows have been said, the environmentally friendly rice has been thrown, the food has been eaten, the cake was eaten, and the dances were danced – and we were there to capture it.

And the most rewarding of capturing a couple’s wedding is the great comments that we receive immediately after they have seen their images. Knowing that we captured a couple’s wedding day and that they love their images is such a great feeling.

Ashley and James – congrats and many happy years.

Here is their slideshow.

Jessica and Matt tied the knot a few weeks ago. We had a little bit of rain on that day, but there is a saying “a Wet Knot is a tighter Knot”. Jessica and Matt were married, they had a great reception and we captured many images that they will charish for years to come.

The slideshow below is just a handfull of images that were captured that day.

Congrats Jessica and Matt – thank you for allowing us to share in your special day.

This Saturday is the BIG DAY for Jessica and Matt. When Matt proposed to Jessica, she did not hesitate to contact us to see if we were available for their wedding day and we were honored to have been selected to photograph their wedding. Capturing portraits during several engagement sessions with them was great as we had the opportunity to meet Matt and see how he would be in front of our cameras. We already knew Jessica from a few years back – we photographed her mother’s wedding and Jessica has worked with us as an assistant on several weddings.

The images below are table favors that we provided them, with images from their engagement session. Everyone loves pictures, and why not have something for the couple to share with their guests. Plus the guests will have our website information readily available so that they can look over images from Jessica & Matt’s wedding once we have them posted online.

Kelsey and Ronny were married this Saturday in front of the Glamorgan Castle in Alliance, Ohio. For those of you that are not familiar with this landmark in our hometown, it houses the Alliance Schoolboard (that is where all of my taxes go to) .

The ceremony was intimate with family and some close friends, followed by a reception at Bender’s Restaurant in Canton, Ohio.

Prior to the reception we took some time to capture some images of Kelsey & Ronny, and we also captured some great images after the reception.

Kelsey & Ronny – thank you for allowing us to share in your special day. Hope you are enjoying your honeymoon. Here is one teaser image from their day.

What is a wedding without a great cake? That would be like having a wedding without a GREAT photographer (I know one or two – drop me a line and I can help you).

We met the owners of A Catered Affair, LLC at a bridal show a few years ago. We were blown away with their cake designs and the taste of their cakes. Please visit their site to see more examples of the cakes.

They were approached by a Wedding Cake Magazine, to have an original cake photographed and placed in the magazine. There were some rules that must be followed to have the images of the cake be included in the upcoming edition. It could not have been displayed at a bridal show and/or photographed for magazine, website or any other form of publication. So the cake that you see pictured in this post is not the one that they are sending to the magazine, but they had with them as I photographed the cake that they recently built. I should have permission to place the images of their new cake on my site soon – I don’t want them to have spent all of their time coming up with a concept, designing, making the cake and transporting it to our studio for nothing.

Let me tell you – these sample cakes looked SO good that I could have taken a bit out of them. Interesting fact that I was told about the sample cakes – you can smell the sweetness of the fondant for up to 2 years after it has been made. My studio smelled like a bakery for a couple of hours after they left.

Today we were visited by 2 couples and both selected us to photograph their weddings.

Nicole and Joe & Janell and Courtney – we look forward to your upcoming engagement sessions. Plan on having fun and capturing some great images to share with your family and friends. Now on your wedding day – pretty much the same as the engagement session. Plan on having fun and capturing some amazing pictures of your special day for years to come.

What does this mean for couples looking for a wedding photographer? There are only so many weekends that we can photograph weddings. Do we have yours open? Send us a note and we will check our calendars and get back to you ASAP.
