Andy & Amber in Akron Ohio!

I actually met Amber & Andy awhile ago when I used to photograph Barbizon models. So as soon as we met about their wedding photography, we hit it off. It was such a gorgeous day for a Wedding. The church was absolutely gorgeous. Both of their Mom's were such sweethearts. And the day went perfectly!

Carmen & Cleavon's Engagement in Downtown Cleveland!

How adorable is Carmen? And Cleavon is such the gentleman! We all had such an amazing time together! After the first few nervous photos, Carmen & Cleavon looked like they could be models. Cleavon had a few ideas we decided to try out downtown. And they worked so well, I think I will use them again. I can't wait to do their Wedding. It is coming up fast!

Rob & Melanie!

Rob & Melanie love old cars and are both architects! So they supplied the architecture and the old car and I supplied the posing and cameras! Their Wedding Party was awesome. And we all had such a great time photographing and getting to know one another.

The Tudor House Wedding!

If you have never seen the Tudor House in Akron, you should definitely check it out. It was such an amazing place to have a wedding! The dressing rooms upstairs were full of available light. There were lots of wonderful places to do photos without having to travel. The lake was close by and it was an amazing day!

I've been looking forward to shooting Scott & Tracy's Wedding for awhile now. Tracy said one of the reasons she hired me was because I didn't "Attack" her at the Bridal Fair like all of the other vendors. And we all seemed to hit it off very nicely. Plus they share my love of animals!

Tracy has such an amazing sense of humor. We were laughing and having a great time while we were doing the getting ready photos. And Scott is such a sweetheart! Needless to say, we had an amazing time! And a wonderful experience.
I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much as I would like too! Things in the Wedding World are winding down a little now. I'm working on albums and trying to accomplish finishing up the 2007 Season. I have one last wedding in December.

Introducing Emily & Alan Milikis!

I had such an amazing time at Emily & Alan's Wedding. The Couple and the Wedding Party took amazing photographs. It was almost as if they had been trained in modeling. Most of all, they all had fun and I had a blast!

Their Emily's Grandparents were actually married in the same church. St John the Baptist church. It was an absolutely gorgeous church. And both families were so loving and kind. I enjoyed my time with them immensely!

Lynsi & Jared's Engagement

Oh my gosh! I can't even explain the experience I had with Lynsi and Jared. We all had this great connection that really helped me to create some beautiful images. Both of their Mom's came along for the "Ride." And let me tell you it was a ride.

I drove about 2 hours out in the country to Jared and his Family's Cow Farm. We all took a ride on this little off road vehicle down a really scary path to photograph in the location where Jared proposed to Lynsi. And let me tell you how amazing the proposal was!!

He used a CHAINSAW to carve a heart with Will You Marry Me in the middle of a Tree! Wow! Now that is romance. I don't think anyone could have said No to that kind of proposal!

We waded through creeks, we climbed down a steep hill using ropes and leaning myself against a tree to steady myself so I could photograph Jared and Lynsi around their favorite waterfall! And through the entire experience Jared was SUCH a gentleman. He helped me down the hill with my equipment. Jared and Lynsi made sure I had a pair of boots to wade in the creek! What a caring fabulous couple!

Then we went out to a cousin's cabin to photograph around their lake! It was one of the best Engagement experiences I have photographed so far. My motto has always been I will "do anything for a photograph" I think I definitely proved that on this shoot! Did I mention I am afraid of heights?...LOL.

I absolutely cannot wait to photograph their Wedding in December!
