film favorites - a quick an easy share

one of my favorite blog posts is “here’s a random bunch of favorites from life lately, consume and digest as you will!” And, here’s one of those!! Do you have a favorite of the bunch? Have you started summer shooting?

Jessica + Javier | bridal portraits!

Jessica + Javier weren't even actually MY clients. My assistant + awesome second shooter, Savannah mentioned a while back to me how she was going to do a bridal shoot for a couple who, just the previous summer, got married at the Franklin Park Conservatory, but didn't quite love all of their bridal portraits. I thought it sounded super awesome, and smart of them, to go back, so soon, and get the portraits they wished they had done on their wedding day. (note to future brides: make time for portraits on your wedding day, avoid hiring uncle to do said portraits!)

Well, when it came down to it, Savannah's scheduled included a birth, and Jessica + Javier's schedule was not REscheduleable! ...thus they became MY clients! Thank goodness for our serendipitous meeting - I loved getting to remake these images for them + hope they fill the empty spot of wedding photos they were missing out on!

Enjoy!

Ally + Brian | Married at Athletic Club of Columbus

Ally + Brian were married on the.color-est.weekend of this fall. BUT, as you'll see, we have ZERO naturey-fall-ey-colorey-goodness photos. Say what? ..right? I was right there with ya, for a minute, then I edited the photos and quickly realized how obsessed with this wedding I am. Here's why: (and here's a thing about, as a person, and as a business, it's important you know: I'm always honest with you.) these two did it their way. We had planned to go and get some more portraits over in some awesome fall-ey places, but then...life. They decided that other things fit them better. And at first, I think I pouted for about 30 seconds because normally it's what you have to do on weddings: take portraits, but when I saw what I was getting to capture instead, I was super happy our timeline went this way.

These photos are candids, they're natural, just the type of wedding day that Ally + Brian wanted to have. As your wedding photographer, it's important to be able to follow a schedule, YOUR schedule that you've made previously..but it's also important to follow your LEAD on your wedding day, and be able to give you amazing photos when you decide what you thought you wanted just wasn't it.

Enjoy a candid look into Ally + Brian's wedding day at the Athletic Club of Columbus, with some portraits and fun around German Village!
