Friday I drove up to Mount Vernon, Ohio for a shoot with the Burke and Wentworth families. He’s a couple quick previews from my time there…

(that’s a caterpillar on her head)

Saturday I was so excited to shoot Ana and Bob’s Worthington Hills Country Club wedding. It was gorgeous, and FRESH rocked out some incredibly floral design for them. Can’t wait to share the details!

I then made my way to New Buffalo Michigan to shoot the absolutely beautiful vineyard wedding for Frank and April. This one will also be awesome to share with you:)

Hair for this wedding done by my fave (and in-studio stylist), Leanna Murphey. She’s is THE BEST.

So, please close out everything in your browser tabs, except this. It’s gonna suck up some juice. Lots of super detailed, highly colorful wedding fun:) I couldn’t possibly post everything from this day. Not even half of it. It was entirely too much. So. Here’s my top top TOP favorites from David and Sarah’s homemade Mount Vernon, Ohio wedding!

After their first look, we headed to downtown Mount Vernon for some shots around the square.

And there happened to be a farmers market…

Sorry to jump to this so quick but I wanted to share a precious shot of Sarah and her sweet dad walking down the aisle. The chapel at MVNU is huge and beautiful and was the perfect place for this large gathering of close friends and family of the couple. They are deeply loved:)

This part of the ceremony special. They had a choir sing one of their favorite hymns during communion time. Goosebumps. They sounded amazing and the song was touching.

The stuff being thrown…origami cranes! Scroll down for a larger pic of the cranes.

Takin a stroll in the car shown below this…

These paper cranes were folded by friends and family. All 700 of them. And thrown at the bride and groom leaving the church as well as laid out during the reception!

Sarah’s friends Laura and Johanna plus a team of willing helpers created this amazing chandelier for the gazebo at the reception!

Dear EVERYONE. If you want a fun twist on family portraits, the photobooth is IT! THis was the best family portrait experience I have ever had with my couple. We did all their family shots this way. So fun!

Oh and he’s in the most adorable lion button-up from Lottie Da

Here’s a preview of what’s coming!

Aug 17: Peter and Danica’s gorgeous outdoor Portland, Oregon wedding…

Friday: Mirm and Barbara’s playful Cincinnati pet session…

Yesterday: The Mette family’s backyard session in the Cincinnati-area.

our Vail couple gets hitched in Ohio!

I’m headed home to rest up for tomorrow’s big day… Katie and Ryan’s Worthington wedding. If you don’t remember them, they were my Vail, Colorado couple:)

Following their wedding, I’ll be hopping on a plane (with the hubby of course) to Portland, Oregon to shoot Peter and Danica’s outdoor wedding. I’m thrilled. And it’s on a Tuesday…a first for me. I’ve been so excited for this wedding:) They’re wonderful friends of Matt and I and we couldn’t imagine not sharing this with them. There will be tears behind the camera (sniff sniff).

And sometime in that visit I get to finally meet my May 14, 2011 couple  from Seattle. They’re coming to Portland to meet and I am so excited to finally put a face with the name!

So, if you don’t hear from me for a few days, this is why! But you know the drill… shoot me an email and I’ll get back as soon as I return. And call if it’s an immediate need. I’ll be back online Thursday (i think we get in super later on wednesday) so look out for some fun previews!

Lastly, tonight wrapped up a the second of two senior shoots we did this week. Lauren. I like her name:) She’s so adorable, see for yourself…

Looking forward to alllllll the upcoming previews and completed posts! There’s so much happiness to share!

See you soon. You’ll be missed.
