Ethan & Pam: August 8, 2008

Create a Free Slideshow

I had the pleasure of photographing Ethan & Pam's Wedding. You couldn't meet two nicer people! They made sure we had refreshments and food in the evening. We even sat with them for dinner and had such enjoyable conversation.

They had a gorgeous ceremony at St. Pats in Ohio City. Which ended with them being surprised by a piper. Pam cried with surprise and joy!

Unfortunately, someone left the lights on in the car, so Pam & Ethan's friends pushed them down Bridge until they could POP the clutch. It made for some fun photos!

And my favorite part of the day was taking photos at the Franklin Castle in Ohio City. The owner, Charles, is a friend of Pams. I don't think either of them understood HOW EXCITED I WAS about going INSIDE the Castle. We used to live right around the corner and I would spend some of my Saturdays walking around the gate that surrounds the castle and photographing what I could see. I used quite a few of those photos in my college projects. And I am thrilled and infatuated with the stories that surround the castle. Anyone up for a good ghost story?

We ended the day at the Nicholson House which is a beautiful yellow house on Detroit in Lakewood. A Taste of Excellence catered the party with a really cool potato bar among many other things! The event wouldn't have been complete without a JUG Band. Awesome! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Mike & Amanda's Engagement....

What an adventure! I ended up on the wrong side of Mill Creek Park in Youngstown. Asked a police officer for directions. Instead he gave me a police escort to Mike & Amanda's location. We had about a half hour before it started raining. We had a good time though and I can't wait to photograph Mike & Amanda's Wedding!

Presenting Mr & Mrs. Edgell....July 18, 2008

I love photographing Weddings that are referrals from other Brides! Noelle was a Bridesmaid from a Wedding I had last year with Alexis & Mark! So I was definitely looking forward to photographing the Wedding.

The Wedding took place on a landing in the front lobby of a hotel in Akron. I have never been able to be above the ceremony which was a really cool perspective. The Reception included 300 people in 2 large rooms. And let me tell you, they partied the night away with a really amazing band called SUMRADA.

Earlier in the day, someone set off the fire alarm in the hotel so the wonderful firefighters in the area let us take some photos by their engine! Totally cool.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day! I enjoyed myself so much and am looking forward to taking horseback riding lessons with you Noelle!
