Carli + Kevin: Wedding!

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I can’t say enough good things about how much fun Carli and Kevin were to work with from their engagement session back in June up until their wedding this last weekend.

The morning started with the girls (in plaid) getting ready at Carli’s mom’s condo before heading over to Mentor United Methodist Church for the ceremony. From there it was off to Colby Park for formals and then time to dance the night away at the Radisson.

Besides how great the wedding party, family, and friends were – the weather also did a nice job of cooperating with us and keeping the rain away – cloudy was good. Rain wouldn’t have been.

I wish Carli and Kevin nothing but the best and a future full of happiness together. From what I’ve seen in my time spend with them it should be easy for them to achieve!

On to the pictures!

This could be my most favorite dress shot I’ve taken.

O-H!

And maybe it’s because I have a little girl that I’ll one day dance a Father-Daughter dance with on a wedding day, but this picture of Carli and her father makes me smile. Another instant favorite of mine!

Kevin is a braver man than me! Look at the stare down he’s getting from his new father-in-law!

Renee – Class of 2011

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

One of the cool things about photography (with a little help from Facebook) is that it has brought me back in contact with a lot of old friends. Renee and I met before she was a year old. Right there is the proof in color.

I was skinny and she was cute. Guess which one of us doesn’t look the same…. :/

I fell out of touch with her mom after college, but we crossed paths once again and in an effort to make me feel really old she asked if I would take Renee’s senior portraits. How could I refuse?

We met up earlier this week and walked through downtown Willoughby. I was one of the last hot days of the year most likely and we took advantage of that and even went down to the river and got a little wet.

And if Superman shows up then you have to take your picture with him. I’m pretty sure it’s a law.

Superman Walking – Allen Mullins

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

I met Allen this morning while shooting a senior portrait session in downtown Willoughby. How can you not stop a guy in a Superman costume and ask for his portrait?

Allen is wearing that costume and making his way across the United States. He’s walking to every state capital in the name of homeless veterans. He wants to make sure they have someplace to come home to because they are Superheroes.

You can learn a bit more about Allen just by Googling his name. It seems every town he visits puts a little article in the local newspaper about him. You can also click HERE.
