I have known Amber for a few years through my personal journal, we randomly met on a Sex and the City group of all things ironically enough. She’s been with me (at least virtually!) from my hobby and love of photography turning into a business and when she became engaged I was honored to be asked to be her photographer! Her and Andrew got married in Wooster, Ohio at the OARDC Butterfly Garden and got VERY lucky with the weather. This month has been quite the nasty one when it comes to weather and I think it has been supposed to rain on just about every Saturday since May. The rain clouds cleared out just in time for their outdoor ceremony and it could not have been a more beautiful setting. The butterflies were flitting around the butterfly garden and the flowers were all in bloom! It was BEAUTIFUL! I highly reccomend this location to any and all brides in the area! The reception was just as lovely and I was VERY excited to see an old friend… the same cake from Adam + Anna’s wedding last year from West Side Bakery! YUM! It was delicious! The bride and groom had a lovely time and the location again was perfect! Thanks guys for letting me share in your special day!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Kristy since I was 12 years old and she’s always been one of my closest friends. We’ve been through a lot together and it’s hard to believe just how far we have came from our days in school together with nothing better to do than wonder where we should set off our fireworks (we both had a serious love for things that go BOOM and my Dad fed that love!). So when I had the rare opportunity to either be IN the wedding or shoot the wedding (or both!) it took me a long time to decide what to do. I eventually decided that she had plenty of people that would love to be at her side the day of the wedding and that I would rather be able to be at her side in a professional capacity. In the end, I’m glad it worked out the way it did because things got pretty hectic the day of the wedding.

I’m starting a new piece on my blog to supplement the pictures called Corey Talks. In it I plan on talking about various topics about weddings, photography etc. Feel free to comment and submit questions or tell me I’m crazy. I figured I’d start with the topic that gets lots […]
Last week I had the amazing expeience of taking a workshop with David Beckstead, one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the United States. He is just simply awesome. I learned SO much from him and he was the nicest person. Very friendly and easy to get along with. The workshop was hosted by Cat McKinley whom was just the best hostess ever. I can’t rave enough about this workshop, it was THAT good. By far the best money I’ve spent towards my education in photography. We went to some fantastic places in Akron and Cleveland with our model brides – the Akron Civic Theater, Stan Hywet and The Arcade in Cleveland. We also did a quick jaunt around downtown with our bride as well. The best of the best (IMHO) of what I shot is below. Beware it is very picture heavy!
Thanks so much to David for being such a wonderful teacher and Cat for setting everything up!
Elizabeth and Kevin got married on June 6th in Steubenville and they got lucky with weather! It was supposed to be an ugly day with storms and rain but the rain held off and although the day was a bit sticky, it could have been a lot worse! They were such a great couple – Elizabeth is a sweetheart and her dress was divine! Their bridal party was a great group and definately ready for good times! The Maid of Honor gave one of the best toasts I’ve heard from a Maid of Honor in my life, it was wonderful!
Elizabeth and Kevin have good photographer taste too… check out their awesome Trash the Dress session with Carrie of Brooke Mayo Photography! As you all know because I repeat it daily, Carrie and Brooke were my wedding photographers so I was really excited to hear they were using them during their honeymoon!
