Yesterday I had the honor of shooting the First Communion portrait of my friends Leah and Jordan. We go way back to since they are also on the soccer team I sponsor and have been listening to me yell from the sidelines for three or four years.
This session was a while in the making. It got delayed twice. I’m really glad we pulled it off because the session paid off with some really nice shots.
They were perfect little models and just as angelic as they appear. I have to admit, though, it was weird not seeing them in shorts and spikes running around on the soccer field like I usually do!

Life really is incredible when you think about it. Michelle and Kevin met back in grade school at the Catholic church they ended up getting married in. They both did their own thing for a long time but when people are meant to be together they also seem to find each other again.
This was really a great wedding to shoot, Michelle and Kevin were a great couple and didn’t mind me dragging them all over the place for shots after their ceremony. Patience is incredible too. 
St. Mary Magdalene is the church I go to with my family as well. I’ve been there (just about) every Sunday. I know a lot about it, but I never really looked at it much through the lens. Michelle and Kevin wanted to capture the church and the grounds around it because they had so many memories there.
I wish them both all the best as they head off into their future together!

My son, Carter, made his first Communion and Confirmation today. I put on my photographer hat for a few shots, but then but all the gear away and was a good parent and sat quietly in my pew for the whole mass.
The shot above was a happy accident. Pap-pap just happened to take a seat while I was setting up the lighting and firing off a test shot. The shot below is what I had planned to capture.

I had the privilege of shooting the Holy Saturday Mass at Saint Mary Magdalene Church in Willowick last night. The ceremony is very impressive and it was really nice to be able to have an all access pass to capture it as it happened.
The Mass began outside around a bonfire and then proceeded into the sanctuary. The beginning is all done in darkness and candlelight. Wonderful candlelight.
As I was changing lenses from the shot above I stopped in a corner of the church and noticed this woman sitting alone with her candle and couldn’t resist capturing this moment of her.
Father Ron takes light from the Paschal Candle.
Newly blessed in Holy Water, a young girl receives her Baptismal Candle.

Had a great time shooting Mindy and Bo’s wedding over the weekend. No shots of the girls for me – I spend the morning hanging out with the men! My friend Andi got to hang with the ladies while they got ready.
Couldn’t have asked for better guys to work with. Easy going, willing to try anything and looking to have a good time.
We cruised through downtown Painesville on our way to the church for some shots and then made it to the church on time.
Congrats! I hope you have a wonderful future together.
