Missy and Jason were married on April 24 at the Shaker Run Golf Club in Lebanon, Ohio. The week leading up to the wedding was a nail biter, they were calling for thunderstorms Friday evening and all day Saturday. We had planned on taking pictures before the ceremony, outside and around the beautiful golf course.

Lucky for us, we live in Ohio, where not only is the weather unpredictable, but the weathermen…well, they’re kinda terrible. The rain held off until after the ceremony started, and we were indoors the rest of the evening. It worked out brilliantly!

Congratulations to Missy and Jason!

In December we had the honor of shooting Crystal & Nate’s wedding here in Dayton. During the planning, Crystal asked me if we had any suggestions for videographers. Since we didn’t know any at the time, we enlisted Facebook to help us find a good fit. A friend recommended that we check out Timeless Pictures, the company run by Brett and Drew Varvel.

This is the video they put together for Crystal and Nate. If you ask me, it’s just stunning.

For those of you planning your wedding, these guys are who you need to talk to if you want video. They were great to work with, extremely professional, and they push the limits of how “cinematic” a wedding video can be. We would love to have the opportunity to work with them again!

Some of you may remember back in November when we shot Stephanie & Eric’s engagement photos. Well Stephanie is good friends with Lily, and recommended that she check us out for her wedding photographers. We met up, and it was an instant connection. They scheduled their engagement shoot for just a few weeks later, and we headed to Wegerzyn Gardens just outside of downtown.

Lily and Joseph are a lot of fun, and we’re really looking forward to their wedding next April in Grand Rapids, Michigan! 

This might be one of my favorite frames I’ve ever taken…
