We definitely welcome the chance to shoot in new locations, so when Ashley mentioned that they live in Washington DC – we said “Of course we’ll come to DC!” DC did not disappoint. We took a few extra days to walk around the area! If there’s one place that stood out, it’s The Hirshhorn Museum. It was total fun! You should see it! We enjoyed a pretty awesome day with these two on Saturday….visiting Teddy Roosevelt Island(where Jeremy proposed to Ashley AND Teddy Roosevelt is Ashley’s favorite president) along with a little bit of Georgetown, the National Cathedral(which is amazing), and ending up in Old Town Alexandria just as the rain began to pour down! These guys are pretty great to hang out with and we look forward to their wedding next month(NEXT MONTH? ALREADY?)

Todd and Jessica decided to tie the knot on their second anniversary. It just so happened to be April fools day! It was all good with no practical jokes, only a beautiful day and a loving couple. We are really happy we got to shoot their wedding and we wish them and their family the best!

As soon as I heard That Chad and Brittanie wanted photos that were different form the norm I knew it was a good sign. Chad mentioned dramatic lighting and referenced James Dean photos that he liked. Again I was stoked! Their wedding is in September so we did a mini engagement session for their save the dates. 11am isn’t the perfect time of day for dramatic skies or shooting in the open in general but I had a few tricks up my sleeve and we pulled it off. Now I can’t wait for the full engagement session and wedding!

We had a little shoot today for Barbara Abbott of Canton Food Tours LLC. Canton Food Tours will present small group 3-hour guided walking tours of downtown Canton, May through November. Participants explore rich local history and discover the burgeoning art scene while sampling freshly prepared food and drink at stops along the way. She has some good things in the works so check it out. First up we have Rachel Hogue of Rachel’s Ugly Pies! I don’t think the pie looks ugly and I know it taste delicious! Last but not least everybody’s favorite Cupcake Kreator. Kristina Belliveau of Kristina’s Kreations! It was a fun shoot and make sure you check these awesome ladies out.

This is Jeremy and Ashley. They met through a mutual friend running at Walsh University. She is a High School teacher and he owns a timing and event management business in Washington DC. Race DC timing. This was just a small session because we are road tripping to D.C. in the spring for a full on engagement session. They were naturals in front of the camera and we are super excited about shooting their North Canton wedding next year.

I know i always say how lucky we are when I talk about our super lovely couples. Once again we have been lucky enough to score with Mike and Christine. It was one of those days that I knew instantly we were going to have some fun. After all, meeting up at Taggarts can only be good, right? We also had a first with these two… Mike’s family owns Tate Cleaners – yep, the one that you see at the corner of 30th street and Martindale Rd…. It’s been there FOREVER! We did a little photo shoot INSIDE the dry cleaners!! Definitely interesting! Another interesting part of this shoot – as you will see – was shooting inside the house that Mike is currently renovating(see last photo). He entered his kitchen into a “Win a new kitchen” contest and can you believe he DID NOT win? Anyway, I loved working with these 2 and wish them the BEST WEDDING DAY ever!!!

Amanda contacted us to do photos of her family because they hadn’t had one done “in a long time” …We hear that often – I think it’s super important to do these things if you’ve been meaning to .. It’s easy..Call us and we’ll set it up! We did a 4 generation photo of the girls in this family and I’m sure they’re going to be thankful that they took the time to do it! Thanks Amanda for making it happen! Enjoy!

Meet Marcedes! She is graduating from GlenOak High School in 2012 and we had lots of fun. Her dad had all kinds of pose ideas up his sleeve and he acted most of them out. We hope you enjoy your senior year at GlenOak.

Taylor graduates from Perry in 2012 – we’re happy to have photographed her for her senior portraits. She’s fun and a super sweet girl!

Dominick and Jen were in town from Philly  just for the weekend so we were able to squeeze in their engagement session while they were here! The weather reports called for wind and rain but instead we lucked out with some wind and beautiful Fall sunshine! We visited a few of their favorite places… Central Catholic High School, Taggart’s for a Bittner and Napoli’s for pizza … in that order! Here’s a few of our favorite shots from their Friday evening E-session!
