  • Rachael and Kyle: Cincinnati Same Day Edit

    This is a wedding that had it all- a beautiful couple, an awesome venue, and an amazing team. Rachael and Kyle’s ceremony and reception was held at the stunning Green Acres Arts Center, a location like no other. Early and the day Rachael, her mom and her bridesmaids were treated to massages as they prepared for the day, while Kyle and the guys golfed at a nearby country club before they saw each other in front of this majestic venue. After the ceremony, the celebration continued as their guests danced on the packed floor. Rachael and Kyle wanted to surprise their guests with this Same Day Edit, which premiered at their reception after dinner.

    Krista & Jeremy: The Enhanced Same Day Edit

    It doesn’t get much better than an awesome Fall wedding at Drees Pavilion.  Although it was a little cooler and wetter than expected, it was still an incredible event as Krista and Jeremy celebrated their new beginning with their friends and families.  They were so easy going and up for anything, running through a field with no shoes, hanging out on a bridge, and all of it before the ceremony.  Prior to the wedding day we also hung out as we filmed their love story, which would be a part of their Same Day Edit.  Its a feature that can add so much backstory to a Same Day Edit and offers a little insight about the couple.  We set up in the studio and just talked about how they met and their lives together up to this point and then we go have some fun with the cameras.  That is then mixed with footage from the actual wedding day and presented that night durning dinner.  Enjoy!

    Amy + DJ: The Highlight Film

    I couldn’t ask for a better wedding to start the year. Amy and DJ joined hands and lives in front of their closest friends and family members at the Cincinnati Art Museum on a chilly March day. I had the pleasure of working with DJ on a few projects over the last few years and I was really excited when he called me to film his wedding. This was a very intimate ceremony where DJ’s father was also the minister and symbolic butterflies adorned the ceremony and reception.  This was more than a wedding, it was a family union and I’m very honored to have been a part of it and to share the day with my friends Kortnee and Ted of Kortnee Kate Photography.  I hope you enjoy their highlight film, the soundtrack was their first dance song, but I chose to use a cover of the same song.

    Who doesn’t love a pumpkin patch?? And what could be better than spending a day in a patch with two of your best friends who just so happen to be two of the raddest photographers under the sun??!?! Well, the answer is clearly NOTHING!
    A few weeks ago Reagan and I took Sadie and Mya to meet Kortnee and Ted and their son Micah at Berries & Blooms in Loveland for some pumpkin patch fun, with an extra added ingredient, mud. The days prior, it had rained and rained some more. Of course rain + farm = mess, but we had a blast with it all! The kids loved it, with the exception of Sadie, who wasn’t sure what was going on and why she was being placed in crate full of these cold orange objects (pumpkins) while some woman (kortnee) stood in front of her with this thing (her camera) while she made cute baby sounds. While this is going on, Ted and I are constantly refreshing the web on our phones to get the latest score of the Vikings/Packers game. The mud certainly made things interesting and its amazing how kids are magnets for that stuff. No matter how hard we tried, we simply couldn’t keep them clean!
    Carmel Apples, a hay ride, picking your own pumpkin out of a patch with your family and friends, this was good day indeed. We truly love Kortnee and Ted and Micah too (as long as he quits hitting on Mya) :)
    I wanted to share with you some of the awesome pics that Kortnee took that day. Here’s the link to her blog with more of goodness that was captured that day  Enjoy!
