Rebecca's a Bride!

Do we like this one in color....
...Or black and white?

The many faces of Rebecca...

One of my favorite times of the year is when we start to get geared up for wedding season! It is so much fun to see what this season has in store for us, and being able to share this with you all is so rewarding. Ok, enough with the mushy gushy.

I met up with soon-to-be bride Rebecca Snyder for her bridal shoot last night and let me tell you...I haven't laughed that hard in a while! She is so much fun to hang with and I know their big day is going to be a blast--especially if last night was a testament to anything! I just loved exploring Cleveland while everything was in full bloom! Right off the bat Rebecca gave me free artistic reign and was so relaxed and carefree that I think it really showed in her pictures.

Bridals are such a great way to get some unique shots while trying out your attire, hair and makeup all at once. The pictures are also great for displaying at the reception, as gifts, or just for memories. I definitely had a rough time choosing my faves for this post!

Thanks again Rebecca for a terrific evening!

Call the studio at 423.386.5324 for your own swanky shoot either before or after tying the knot! Oh, and grooms are welcome!

Rachel and Josh's E-Session

Oh wow! This week has started with a bang and I am so excited for you to meet Rachel and Josh. They will be tying the knot very soon and wanted some engagement pictures before their big day.

We explored some great spots last night and I got to hear a few hilarious stories from their past. I loved getting to know them both and their love for each other was so obvious! There are some people that just have that "good feeling knowin'" personality (a line from one of my favorite Brad Paisley songs) and I am amazed how Rachel and Josh both possess that gift. Their smiles could light up a room!

Thank you both for a great shoot and I am so excited to work with you again!

a Little Healthy Competition

Hey there Friends!

I'm excited to start making some contributions to the blog, so here goes my first attempt (this is Beau, by the way). I absolutely love working with my wife. Hopefully that's easily seen when we're shooting together. We've gotten to a point where we can anticipate how the other is going to act and react while we're shooting. The beauty of photography is that we can be standing side by side, shooting the exact same subject matter and manage to get very different shots because of all the variables.

One thing you may not know about us is that we love to compete in different activities (you should see us when we have a game night!). I like to think this is our way of making each other better, you know like "Iron Sharpening Iron"...we make each other stronger. If you ever pay close attention at one of our shoots you will see brief moments throughout where we're showing each other a picture that we've just taken. What we're really doing is trying to out-shoot the other one! But don't worry, you guys definitely benefit in the end.

Recently, while talking with Katherine and Nick (whose wedding we were honored to shoot in February), we were laughing about how much we love to compare shots and Katherine suggested that we actually get people to vote on the blog...GREAT IDEA!!! Daisy and I decided that we would each pick two of our favorite shots that we took from our most recent wedding (Allison and Tim) and let you guys vote on which shots you like best.

Of course, Daisy and I have agreed that there will be no retribution here so vote with a clear conscience! These shots are straight out of the camera (no post production, photoshop, etc) and in no specific order just to keep it unbiased.

Let us know which two are your favorites and we'll give the results soon...

ready...set...GO!

A Spring Celebration

I was so thrilled to get to spend more time with former couple (and new friends of ours), Katherine and Nick! Katherine's wedding was a few weeks ago, and she swapped places with Allison to be HER bridesmaid for the day. :)

This past weekend was SUCH a wonderful time to celebrate Allison and Tim's wedding! The weather couldn't have been better and the Fillaur House in Cleveland provided one of the most romantic and fresh backdrops for their big day. Their love for each other couldn't have been more obvious--they were truly in their own world! The Collins Brothers Band provided amazing musical entertainment and Alshabibi Catering provided the delicious cake and cuisine.

Beau and I had such a hard time narrowing down our favorites so be ready for a rather large post... hee hee!

Check it out!

I just glanced through the newest edition of the I Do for Brides (Tennessee) magazine and I was so excited to see one of our couples, Sarah and Elias! We shot their wedding last July and were honored to be featured in this amazing resource for Tennessee Brides. Take a peek when you get a chance!

For those of you interested in having your big day submitted for publication, contact the studio beforehand and we will discuss ideas to make your day amazing... just remember its ALL in the details!

Jack and Elijah are HERE!!!

About a month ago our close friends Matt and Michelle finally welcomed Jack and Elijah into the world! I cannot get over how sweet and handsome both boys are and during our first shoot I loved their uniquely different personalities. Both have a headful of blond hair (sure to come from Michelle) and mischievious little grins (a sure trademark of Matt). Enjoy some shots from Michelle's Maternity shoot and the baby's first of 4 photo shoots.

Katherine and Nick are Married!

Probably one of the cutest ring bearers I've met! He was so sweet!

This is incredible! The pendant below has been used in every female's wedding in Katherine's family for generations. If I remember correctly it began with her great-great-grandmother (please correct me if I'm wrong). Such a sweet sentiment!



I know I have a bit of blogging to catch up on now that the site has finally launched, but I promise it is worth the wait!

Last weekend we were honored to be commissioned for Katherine and Nick's big day! I loved working with them both, as they truly had an appreciation for photography and were troopers through it all. The cold weather was a teeeny bit unexpected, but they were such good sports and it truly shows! Thanks again guys, I've loved working with you and your family!

Baby Dalen!

Dalen's first shoot was so much fun! I couldn't decide which was more adorable, his huge eyes or his flirtatious little smile!!! Megan and Mario were wonderful--as always its such a pleasure to catch up with them! Thanks again guys, and I'm excited to capture his first year with you all!
