\u2022 \u00a0You may remember these guys from their amazing fall engagement session last year<\/a>. \u00a0It’s still one of my all time favorites.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You know it’s going to be a good day when it starts off with the bride’s sister getting everyone to smile for a posed picture by saying “think of Corey naked!” \u00a0I about fell over but they quickly told me about the inside joke and I started laughing. \u00a0I guess a few years ago in order to get the family to smile, a past professional photographer said to think of her naked to get laughs. \u00a0LOL!<\/p>\n

\u2022 While thankfully this was the first wedding in a long time that it wasn’t a scorcher or even humid, there was sprinkles here and there but Amanda came prepared with umbrellas. \u00a0*happy dance*<\/p>\n

\u2022 These two were so fun to play with, seriously. \u00a0Such great sports with easy going personalities. \u00a0Made my job a breeze!<\/p>\n

\u2022 It’s hard for me to pick favorites among all of the many beautiful wedding gowns I see but I have to say, Amanda’s definitely ranks as one of my all-time favorite dresses ever. \u00a0SO amazing!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Special thanks to Nicole for coming along!<\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Amanda spent the morning getting ready at her hotel suite at the Radisson in Olmsted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I always love when I am able to capture the makeup getting done!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groom<\/p>\n

While I was photographing Amanda’s final prep, Nicole went down and hung out with Matt and his groomsmen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

While they were zipping up Amanda’s dress I captured this image of her waiting patiently. \u00a0So beautiful!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

They had to pin the veil in once they had it placed just right and I loved the look of it over her face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I’ve done this once in the past and I have to say I absolutely LOVE having a bridesmaid first look. \u00a0As with Carrie, Amanda got ready with her Mom and sister and then came out once everything was perfect for the rest of her bridesmaids to see. \u00a0As you can tell, they were overwhelmed with emotion. \u00a0This is a great idea if you want that “gasp!” moment but don’t want to do a first look with your groom. \u00a0I’ve also seen this done with parents as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Can you see the bride and her Dad?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Nicole captured this image of Amanda walking toward Matt. \u00a0Can you find me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Kiss!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groom<\/p>\n

A long standing joke\/thing with this family was that in the 8 years that these two had been together, Matt and Amanda’s Dad had never hugged. \u00a0One of the things I was on a mission for that day was to capture the moment they finally hugged. \u00a0Mission accomplished!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see what gets a lot of comments on Facebook vs what you THINK will get a lot of comments. \u00a0This image is one of those that I personally was like, yay, like but just your average shot. \u00a0Everyone else though seems to disagree! \u00a0I do love the bubbles in this image though!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Amanda had already scoped out Oberlin and one thing that caught her eye were these doors, aren’t they amazing?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Seriously. \u00a0Aren’t they cute? \u00a0I could have shot them in front of this door all.day.long.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

One of my favorite shots of the day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bridal<\/p>\n

This little arch thing I saw and thought it would make for some neat bridal party images. \u00a0I was right!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bridesmaids<\/p>\n

All day everyone kept commenting on how awesome these bridesmaid dresses were, I have to agree!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groomsman<\/p>\n

Nicole played with the guys while I was with the bridesmaids. \u00a0I loved this shot so much.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bridal<\/p>\n

I loved it so much I brought the girls over to pose with the guys to create one of my favorite bridal party pics I’ve taken!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I always love when my couples have thank you signs, this one is adorable!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Another favorite!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bridal<\/p>\n

I finally was able to get out on the golf course for some images at Springvale! \u00a0We started with a group shot of the bridal party on the bridge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I then let the bridal party go and just played with Matt and Amanda in the yummy light with the gorgeous goldenrod meadows. \u00a0SO pretty!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Seriously I love these guys!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

They are so.darn.cute!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"artist<\/p>\n

Nicole was inside while I was outside with the bride and groom and she was capturing images of everyone enjoying their favors – a caricature artist!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

The guests kept tapping their glasses and Amanda was laughing at her dad and telling him they just kissed!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

First dance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"father<\/p>\n

Father\/daughter dance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"mother\/son<\/p>\n

I loved this image from the mother\/son dance!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"dollar<\/p>\n

In lieu of a dollar dance Matt and Amanda opted to do a Dollar Dash where each of them ran around for the duration of a song and tried to collect the most money. \u00a0It was SO fun and hilarious. \u00a0In the end Amanda won and they ended up with well over $500!!! \u00a0I hope more couples do this in the future, it was far more entertaining – and profitable! – than any dollar dance I’ve ever seen!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you both again for hiring me. \u00a0I had such an awesome day and you and your families were wonderful to work with!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
