Julie & Matthew || Ohio Wedding Photography || Sandusky, OH

Julie & Matthew's day was filled with so much love and sweetness, along with enough scattered rain drops to keep us guessing all afternoon. We made it through the outdoor ceremony overlooking the harbor and the clouds eventually opened up just enough for us to capture some of our favorite sunset portraits ever. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet… 

Julie's dad wrote her a song for the wedding day, so yeah, awesome ring shot if I do say so… 

Just a few pre-ceremony portraits at the Sawmill Creek Resort… 

We're submitting this as the definition of 'dapper'… 

Julie and her father walked across the lawn from the building in the background. They were all smiles and giggles the whole time. :o)

Just a few raindrops during the ceremony but never enough to scare us back inside. And check out that great view of Cedar Point across the bay.

See that seagull on top of the pole? He enjoyed the show from up there the entire ceremony.

Such a great skyline and backdrop for portraits. 

See that cute redhead on the right? That's our sister-in-law, friend and fun fact finder, Kim. Hi Kim! It was fun to photograph her in one of our weddings.

Such a fun group! We're thankful (and surprised) no one fell into the bay during the wild group photos. 

That blue ride on the right is the new GateKeeper. It breaks seven world records… just FYI.

One of our favorite portraits. You look beautiful, Julie!

We loved how the colors of the boats blurred into a great background.

We then headed inside for some dinner, cake and a few dances.

Credit goes to Christy for this great perspective of the first-dance.

The overcast skies finally cleared right before sunset so we ran outside for a few more portraits. We LOVE the colors of this one and how the sky and water just glowed with deep shades of blue.

Such a sweet portrait. We love the reflections and lines in the water too.

And there's one of our favorite sunset photos… ever! And yes, it was that beautiful. I didn't click a magic 'nice sunset' button to make the photo something it wasn't.

And then back to the PARTY!

And a few of us…

Like I said, the sunset was amazing. Every minute the light looked a little different.

Oh hey again, Kim! And that's Christy's brother (just in case you couldn't tell).

Julie & Matthew, thanks for letting us spend the day with you. We're so happy for you and so glad that the weather worked out in our favor so we could capture so many beautiful outdoor photos for you. We hope you enjoy them! Tons more coming your way soon. 

Thanks for visiting our blog!

Danielle & Mike || Ohio Engagement Photography || Downtown Kent

We enjoyed a beautiful summer afternoon a few weeks ago with Danielle & Mike exploring downtown Kent and the KSU campus. We've been so excited to finally go through these pictures and post a few. We knew they were going to be a super sweet couple to photograph but we didn't know they would be this stinkin' adorable! 

Can't walk past a construction site without experimenting a little...

Found this amazing little cove down under the Main Street bridge.

Danielle was a super fun (and stunning) model and we love the ones we got of her laughing at herself. :o) Goofy leads to glam. Remember that ladies.

Mike had no trouble giving Danielle a big squeeze after watching her strut her stuff for the camera...

More experiments with the bright afternoon sunlight...

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

And our love affair with parking garages and geometry continues… 

This is definitely going on the 'favorites' list of ring shots… 

Now that's just adorable.

This was the very last photo of the day which always tend to be some of our favorites. 

And a few of us rockin' it out…

Sometimes you need those six extra inches of height to make the picture great.

Danielle & Mike, thank you so much for wandering around with us all afternoon and letting us experiment with you. You two were so cute together and we had so much fun with you. We're already excited for your wedding next summer so we can work with you again. We hope you love these first few preview photos. Tons more coming your way soon.
