ALUM CREEK FARM

dkphoto1 — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 20:56:00 +0000

ALUM CREEK FARM– A while back, I went to a barn sale. It was a great location with a beautiful house and I had farm envy. I followed them on facebook thinking I was following an antique dealer. The owner, Jennilee, posted something about the farm at the same time I was looking for a place to have my holiday mini sessions. So, I took a chance. I introduced myself and asked if they’d consider renting the barn to a photographer. That conversation led to the realization that they were going to be a wedding venue and they would need photos. It was fate. We (very quickly) planned a photo shoot to help Jennilee launch her venue. We gathered some amazing vendors and a cutey patootey couple and spent a chilly but gorgeous, blue sky day at the farm.

Many MANY thanks to the amazing vendors who lent their incredible talents to this photo shoot:

A LAKESIDE OHIO WEDDING

dkphoto1 — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 19:54:00 +0000

I absolutely love all weddings but when I had the opportunity to do a Lakeside, Ohio wedding, I jumped at the chance. I’m seriously a wedding nerd. I love every bit of weddings, the little bits of nervousness right before the ceremony. The hush of the guests when the bride is finally in view makes me tear up every time. I love the slide of the rings onto their fingers, the kiss, the giddy looks on their faces after being pronounced. The way they’re dying to kiss during all their portraits. The way the parents beam with pride, the sentimental tears and the the looks on people’s faces as they fight back the tears. I love wedding cake, sparkly rings, dancing and the laughter of a packed dance floor. I love it all.

And this wedding had it all… and it had it near historic Lakeside, Ohio.

Erica and Jackson

Lakeside holds a special place in Erica’s heart. She grew up visiting there every summer with her family. It was the perfect place for her to start her new life with Jackson by connecting it to her childhood and family. After this wedding, I can see why it’s so dear to her.

Lakeside has all these fabulous little spots that are perfect for photos. Inside and out, this little village is one photo op after another. Their ceremony was held in the outdoor chapel. We did portraits by the lake and the reception was nearby at The Winerie. I’m telling you. My little photographer heart was happy ALL day long with all the wonderful little spots we visited. And that final outdoor photo??? That made this heart of mine skip a beat or two. You can see the stars!!

Congratulations to Erica and Jackson! Thank you so much for choosing me!

xoxo

THE BLACKWELL

Working in the wedding industry means the opportunity to work in a lot of different venues. The Blackwell is high on my list of favorite places to work. The staff is always amazing and they take great care of the couples that go through there. I can only imagine they take as great care of their business clients and overnight guests as well. That said, I was thrilled when they approached me about doing some photos for them.

Madison (from the Blackwell) and I pulled together a great team of fellow vendors. We had All in Bloom Florist, Henri’s Cloud 9 providing dresses and Event Source for linens. I also have to say a HUGE thank you to Ryan, Mitch, Megan and Dominick for modeling for me. It couldn’t have all come together without any of you.

Now… Enough talking… Photo time…

LINDSEY & LUKE’S GORGEOUS FARM WEDDING

dkphoto1 — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 10:00:00 +0000

I totally love this girl! I mean really! I’ve been lucky enough to be friends with her for a few years now and honestly, she’s just a bright spot on this planet. She’s fun and sweet and silly she brightens up a day. Not surprised at all that cutie patootey Luke fell in love with her. And they are all kinds of good stuff together.

They were married at a friend’s farm. It’s a beautiful home. It, honest to Pete, looks like it’s out of the pages of Country Living magazine. I should know. I am a Country Living subscriber from way back. (I digress).

If I’m being “real”, the day was a little drizzly and a little chilly but if I’m telling you how it made me feel, it was a warm and wonderful day. The amount of love flowing around and the gorgeousness involved here may just overheat your computer. Maybe you should check out this blog post in little bits. Don’t say I didn’t warn you….

I’m such a lucky girl to get to be a part of days like this and to meet people like these! Life is so good! Thank you Lindsey and Luke for choosing me and go have an awesome life!

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Can you believe how beautiful that wedding was?!! It all came together with love from Luke and Lindsey and a little help from:

Dress by Morilee from Wendy’s Bridal
Tuxes from Express
Ties are from The Tie Bar
Florist is The Flowerman
Catering and pies provided by Made From Scratch
Bridal rings from The Diamond Cellar
Groom’s ring from Jeff Johnson and Co.
DJ is Jason Heyder
Make up by Capri Hemsworth
Hair by Maria banks at Polished Hair and Nails.

A LAID BACK BEACH WEDDING IN HILTON HEAD

dkphoto1 — Mon, 06 Jun 2016 10:00:00 +0000

What better way to start off the new blog than with a destination wedding?!

I learned a lot on this trip.
—After a few hours in a car, I need to get out and walk around.
—My limit is 10 hours in a car. That last hour was rough.
—I have really missed the beach. It’s been years since I’ve been and I think I should go again VERY soon.
—My kids missed me a lot.
—My dog missed me so much that he went on an epic jaunt through Dublin looking for me.

and most important of all— I have awesome clients!

Seriously, I really have awesome clients. Taking that trip and spending a couple days with those families would not work for me if they weren’t awesome people. This wedding had so much to offer: a bride who is insanely happy and always smiling, a groom who loves his bride and takes every opportunity to nuzzle with her, great parents, adorable grandmothers, swoony details, a fun day after session, an amazing view and so very much more. It was a fabulous couple days and I’m insanely grateful that they chose me as their photographer.
