Katie & Jonah – Vintage-Inspired Wedding in North Canton

Posted on Updated on Weddings

Storms passed through the night before and cooled the summer heat. For weeks the temperature had been in the 90’s, but it cooled off just in time. Kate and Jonah’s wedding had finally arrived. A couple week’s prior, I went down to Walsh University for some early scouting. At the time, it was hard to see a wedding taking place at the University. Sure, Walsh University and North Canton are pretty, but it just didn’t seem to fit. On the day of Kate and Jonah’s wedding, we arrived early and were immediately met with a big surprise! Step inside to see how Kate and Jonah transformed the landscape to create a beautiful vintage-inspired wedding.

Danielle and Matt's wedding at the Clifton Club in Lakewood, Ohio

Danielle & Matt – A Clifton Club Wedding in Lakewood

Posted on Updated on Weddings

I’ve been anticipating Danielle and Matt’s wedding ever since we first met over a year ago. They’re such a wonderful couple together and the whole wedding plan was a perfect fit. To say they’re the ideal client would be an understatement. Danielle and Matt’s wedding took place right in my little Lakewood neighborhood. I could literally walk to their wedding, although I didn’t. Lakewood’s Congregational Church and it’s Georgian design would be the backdrop for the ceremony, while the vaunted Clifton Club would host the wedding reception, all just block’s from my home. Step inside to see some highlights from their neighborly wedding.

VIDEO – VSCO Film with Custom Settings

Posted on Updated on For Photographers

Previously I published a video overview of the new VSCO Film preset package for Lightroom. Since that time, a new version of Lightroom and VSCO have been released. In the original video overview, I mentioned a couple key points about VSCO Film that I didn’t like, one being that it affects sharpening settings. In today’s follow-up video, I demonstrate how to correct this issue by creating your own preset that mixes VSCO with your custom settings.

Molly & Dave – A Custom Heirloom Wedding Album & Presentation Box

Posted on Updated on For Brides, For Photographers

After each wedding there is a ton of work to be done. All the photos must be downloaded, backed up, culled and selects edited. Then digital copies are uploaded for online presentation, client discs created and meetings scheduled. Most important is drafting my clients’ wedding album. I always present clients with a draft album design because it eases the design process. Clients may choose to change a little or a lot, but a good draft offers an excellent starting place. The final album and presentation box just arrived for Molly and Dave, and I could not be more amazed with the results. Step inside to see one amazing album and for some design tips.
