Jaime & Eli; June 14, 2008

What can I say about Jaime and Eli? It was such a pleasure and an honor to be with them on their special day! I immediately had a wonderful bond with Jaime and was so thrilled and excited to meet Eli. The whole day was such a joy. They were wonderful. Their friends and family were wonderful.

I had such a blast doing the park photos. However, my favorite photo of the day is the dancing photo (B&W) with the turntable in front! There were so many amazing opportunities for photos! Thank you so much for making me part of your day!!!

Best Dressed June 14, 2008!

This does of course exclude the Bride & Groom! The Best Dressed always seems to include the Best Dancers!

Danyel & Brian's Engagement @ Mapleside Farms

Danyel & Brian's Engagement was so fun. Brian has such a fun nature. And Danyel is such a sweetheart. We had a really great time getting to know each other again since we haven't spoken since Danyel booked me. We are actually going to do a Part 2 at Stan Hywet sometime in July so stay tuned for that! I can't wait to shoot your Wedding!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Things have been extremely busy for Platinum Photography.

Meredith & Larry's Wedding; May 31, 2008

What a day! We started out at Pundersen out in Newbury, Ohio with Meredith and Larry getting ready for their day! As the sky became darker, we all jumped in our cars and headed to Fowler's Mill Golf Course. Unfortunately there was a delay of Wedding. But being the troopers that Larry & Meredith are, they were still married on the Green as soon as the rain was over. And what a beautiful ceremony it was!!

Larry & Meredith are such a great couple and their friends and family are all wonderful as well. We had a wonderful time taking fun candid photos at the reception. We even started a new blog series called the "Best Dressed" which you can find below. There are also more photos from this wedding on my Associate Photographer, Martha's Blog. The link is the left of this post!

Best Dressed from May 31, 2008

So, I've decided to post a new Series called "Best Dressed" for each Wedding just for fun! So feel free to leave comments below. And this of course does not include the Bride & Groom because they are the "Best Dressed"!

Jaime & Eli's Engagement!

Jaime & Eli are getting married one week from today! I am so psyched to be photographing their Wedding. We had such a great time during our engagement session. We started out talking at Tommy's on Coventry. Then we moved to the park on Coventry to do some fun photographs. Jaime is infatuated with St. Ann's on Coventry and Cedar so we stopped there and did some beautiful romantic photos! Then we moved onto Lake Erie down Martin Luther King Blvd. I can't wait for them to see the photos!

Come & See My Show Tonight!

For all of you Brides out there, the show is called Fear, Death, & Fascination! One of my fascinations is Wedding Photography so there will be a slideshow of my work playing! So come out and say HI! All of the info is on the photo above!

Christy & Jake Rutkowski; Part 2!

Every Bride & Groom has a story! I absolutely loved Jake & Christy's Engagement Story. There is more to story but I'm giving the condensed version..LOL. Christy & Jake were playing Texas Hold'em. I believe they were seperated at one point but eventually ended up back at the same table. After waiting quite awhile, (we all know time is of the essence in Texas Hold'em with "going all in") Christy finally bet on a hand, when the betting came to Jake, he slid an engagement ring onto the table and asked Christy to go "ALL IN" with him? The story still gives me chills!

Christy & Jake are such a fun couple! We had a great time getting to know and photograph everyone throughout the day. And Jake's daughter is such a beautiful little girl so we have TONS of photos of her. And his son is so handsome so we had to include some of those!

We had many fun adventures and a couple experiences I will never forget thanks to a certain Groomsman! You know who you are! And as a bonus, one of Christy's Bridesmaids, Monica, is one of my future Weddings so it was really great to see her and Cory!

Thank you so much for such a Wonderful Adventure with such a Great Couple!
