It’s moments like these that always remind me of WHY I do what I do. There is no force more powerful than love.

The Wedding Of Steve + Jessica

September 28, 2018 in Weddings

It was a Mid-September day. Clear skies and eighty degree weather, the humidity was in full force. the venue was Ogden Gardens, a beautiful place to get married. The day started at the bride’s Grandmother’s house, lushes backyard with bright greenery, and a super cool garage with a corvette! I began to get my detail shots of the dress, rings, shoes and the day went of from there.

Lately, one of my favorite things to photograph have been the wedding rings. It gives me the chance to be creative in different ways.

Grandpa and his son Uncle Bob. I told them to make room for me because I’m going to move in. I could live in the garage, I’d sleep in the stingray!

After the ceremony we made our way to the “American Legion Hall” in Wanatah. Jessica is a former service member, this place was really close to her heart. The limo arrived with our newly wed couple then shortly we stole them away for some intimate shots before the reception started. These two were electric!

The reception started and all of the tables had some really pretty table settings. The cake was gorgeous as well! Everyone started to take their seats and you could tell people were excited to see their newly wed couple!

After dinner we stole this amazing duo away for a little while to get some additional pics. They happened to be right next to a farm that had these huge silos. These matched our couple perfectly. We set up our lighting and began to shoot away.

This day was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a more fun couple on their wedding day. Steve and Jessica, thank you for allowing us to share this gorgeous day with you!

It’s was AMAZING to work with @kelvinachapman again! She killed it. It was also fun to create a make-shift studio in my garage.

I had so much fun shooting this dress! The location was crazy epic and @lp24vswife does what Dru does… She absolutely killed it. My art has been in discovery as of late. I juggle between natural light and OFC. I think having a healthy mixture of both is needed. I’m finding that no matter how long I go without OFC I find myself going right back to it. I love using lighting. Check out @callasprom, love their dresses! .

Learning #offcameraflash has been a game changer for me. Have I learned it all? NO. Definitely not. But the exploration of what can be possible with lights is amazing. I’ve been doing photography professionally for a year and a half now. It’s all I do. I can’t imagine doing anything else right now. Are you chasing your dreams and desires? Are you stretching for what’s in your heart? You should! There’s only one life we get on our own. I say make the best of it and put your foot on the pedal. .
