Amanda and Nick's engagement session

Amanda and Nick's engagement

Talk about a great day for a session! I met Amanda and Nick up at Sawyer Point for their engagement shoot. I had been looking forward to their shoot since they booked me. Their wedding day is on my birthday next year. So, I guess it goes without saying that they have to be a pretty fabulous couple for me to want to work on my b-day ... and if you assumed that ... you would be right! I knew as soon as I met them that I just HAD to photograph their wedding - such a fun couple!!

Here are a few shots from our e-session ...

I love the light in this one ...

Amanda's laugh is infectious ... I was laughing right along with her ...

the ring ... I like how this shot sort of looks like a positive/negative. One is in the light and one in the dark ... I just thought it was interesting.

OMG ... so cute ...

at the end of their session ... we played a bit with their shadows ...

Amanda and Nice, I hope you guys already know that I just adore you! I can't wait for the wedding!

One word ...

VOTE!!!

Miranda and Joe's wedding

Miranda and Joe's wedding

I am finally getting around to posting Miranda and Joe's wedding! I posted their sneak peek, but then couldn't find time to get the rest of the post done.

I met Miranda a couple of years ago when she was an intern at Cincy Chic. Once she got engaged, she called me. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with her. She's a great girl and when I met Joe ... I realized they were the perfect couple! They had an outdoor ceremony at the sunken gardens at Landmark Baptist church. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out. What a wonderful place for a wedding.
here are a few images from the day ...

I love this shot ... Miranda is gorgeous!

the wedding party at the ceremony site ...

Joe almost didn't make it to the alter ...

thank goodness he did :)

I love this shot of the flower girl chasing the ringbearer down the aisle ...

a shot during the ceremony ...

sand ceremony ...

Miranda getting emotional during the vows ...

the receiving line under this amazing tree ...

during the ceremony, a lot of people were having trouble hearing the vow which Miranda and Joe wrote themselves. So when they got to the reception, they grabbed a mic and did a re-reading.

their first dance ...

father/daughter dance ...

mother/son ...

the bouquet toss ...

Miranda and Joe, congratulations!!! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!!! Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph such a wonderful union of two wonderful people!

another thank you goes to Karen for being my right hand!!
