3 Models, 2 Photographers + 25 mph Wind Gusts

The weather never cooperates how you want when you have something scheduled! Fellow photographer Melissa and I had planned on going out Saturday evening with a few models to practice with some lighting techniques. Friday afternoon was in the 80′s, sunny but windy. Saturday was like we walked into late fall weather: it was in the high 40′s, overcast with wind gusts between 25-35 mph. Lucky for us, the models were all still happy to participate and grabbed their wedding dresses out of storage to play. A big thanks to Christina, Kelly and Amy for participating in the colder than usual May weather for us to try out some new ideas. Here are just a few of the images I captured while we were roaming the streets of downtown Columbus. Also, a big thanks to Nancy of Michael David Salon in Westerville for styling the girls’ hair before the shoot!

I told Melissa to move the light closer, so she decided to jump into the image!

The Best of 2009: Relationship Photography {Columbus, Ohio Photographer}

Danielle — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:46:52 +0000

Another set of the Best of 2009! Today we’re looking at the best of my 2009 Relationship Photography. Within this group I have examples of family, engagement and wedding photography. I had the opportunity over the summer to assist my friend and fellow photographer, Melissa Jones, with her weddings. It was a great learning experience for me and I hope Melissa will have me back to help in 2010! Yet again, I had a hard time picking my favorites from the year. I decided to show one from each category of relationship photos that I offer. My favorites all share one thing in common, I’ve tried to capture the connection and emotion between these folks in each image.

I had such a great time with Natalie and her family at the park for this session.
This un-posed image of them playing in the colorful fall leaves is a perfect moment.

Not exactly an “engagement” photograph of Jen and Jeff since they were married prior to this image, we’ll call it my favorite “couple” image of 2009.

I absolutely love this image!! It doesn’t hurt when you have a stunning bride and groom to work with!

I had the opportunity to assist Melissa Jones with another wedding over Labor Day weekend. Mallory & Braden had both their ceremony and reception in the Burgundy Room at the Makoy Center in Old Hilliard. After the reception, we headed over to Homestead Park to get a few more images of the happy couple. Congratulations Mallory & Braden!

Erin & Jason’s Wedding {Venue at Smith Bros’ — Columbus, Ohio}

Yesterday I had the honor of second shooting for the talented Melissa Jones as she photographed Erin and Jason’s wedding. I hope that it will be the first of many weddings that I’ll be working with Melissa on, we had a great time! Melissa puts everyone at ease in front of the camera with her great attitude.

Erin & Jason picked a great location at the Venue at Smith Bros’ for both the ceremony and reception at the same spot. And, minus a bit of wind, it was a cool, perfect day in August for a beautiful couple and a fun wedding.

Stunning rings!

My favorite image from the day!

The wind really kicked up right before the ceremony — I love the wind in her hair and veil!

Erin was such a beautiful bride!!
