The Rogers and Henson Engagement

Well what can I say, other than I had a fun time shooting this couple. We traveled about an hour from town to the foothills of Springville. We got lucky and the weather was not to hot. Unfortunately the worst time of the day to shoot in is when we could get together. Devil light as it is referred to, the 12 noon style of light. If they werent squinting from the brightness of the sun I had crazy shadows to contend with. They gave me a good run for the money I tell ya, testing my abilities.
We made the most of it and would jump into any shadow we could find, However, most of the shoot was in fact out in the harsh light. I am looking forward to shooting their wedding and not running from the sun. Im looking forward Dossie to the 49 Merc you will be showing up in.
Thanks Garry and Dossie for showing me another cool spot to shoot in. Any family and friends that are interested in any of these images I will be giving Garry and Dossie a link to a web page I will be setting up for them. On that web page you will be able to order any image at any size. So stay tuned.

Weddings In Ohio

More of my favorites I shot in Ohio.

Weddings In Ohio

When it comes to Ohio, I have found that they are not short on beautiful places and churches. I mean really how can you screw up ( well, I mean, ah, yes you can).

Anyways, All the images here were shot by me. I could not resist taking such a gorgeous shot or two. The Churches are hand picked by David and he does use them often for Weddings. I have to admit, that using the same venue over and over would make it easy to nail the money shots as he has 30 years in the area I believe. All his experience is being shared with each group and I am looking forward to making beautiful images for my clients as well.

I hope you enjoy..

Spring Grove Cemetary

Well here is the picture I promised in the previous post. It seems I only had room for 5 images to post. I hope you enjoy

A day in Ohio

Wow has it really been a week already?! Time sure flies once you get home and back at the old grind stone. The Trip to Northern Kentucky and Ohio turned out to be an exciting trip. Many new friends were made and stories told. I wanted to share a couple of images that I took while in Ohio on Friday July 31st. The first few images are of the Cincinnati Museum at Union Terminal. It is of my understanding that at the height of WWII that 40 thousand soldiers a day came through here. It was the busiest terminal in the states I was told. Now a great museum with a great history.

I also thought the old brick street was interesting since you just don't see them anymore. By the looks of the neighbor hood I don't think many live there either. I can see traces of asphalt, makes you think that they just asphalted over the bricks way back when.

The image above of the park like setting was taken at the Historic Spring Grove Cemetery. This is a Cemetery like no other. Second in size only to Arlington National Cemetery. The size was really to much to see even in one day. With monuments of old and Civil War sections you could get lost in here for a week. Being I'm from California I was surprised to here that at this Cemetery they have a camping area for kids clubs. They even hold Weddings and parties, yes I said weddings at a Cemetery. This has got to be one of the most beautiful park like settings I have ever seen. From the rolling hills and lush greenery to all the monument like the one I included a picture of. if you are ever in the Cincinnati Ohio area this is worth the half day excursion. Just be sure to stop at the front and get your map, otherwise you may never make it out alive....
