D&D...on the other side of the lens!

Hey everyone it's Darrin...I thought I would toss up a few pics of Deanna and myself shooting lately. We've had some fun with other photographer friends coming along lately too, including Leigh Caraccioli, who is helping us out a little bit this year and also our local friend Kelly Settle. First up was Kelly coming along during Sara & Troy's engagement session in Cincinnati. We spent a little time in Eden Park, near the Krohn Conservatory, where Sara & Troy's wedding was being held, as well as spent some time in Mt. Adams and Newport On The Levee. If you want to see a few of the images from their session, you can check them out Here.


We usually try to give a little visual feedback to our couples as we're shooting...it's not only fun for them but it also helps to build confidence that they're doing just fine on getting the shots we want to get for them!


We're also never afraid to demonstrate of course!


Here's Kelly on the streets and sidewalks of Mt. Adams...literally....


More fun in Mt. Adams...this time with Emily & Ben and Deanna helped shoot this one with me.


We have started doing "same day slide shows" whenever possible...maybe a little more details on that another time...but here is Deanna and Leigh beginning to load and sort some images on Sara & Troy's wedding day.


Leigh jumped in a shot a few of us while we were spending some time with Sara and the girls before the ceremony.....



Leigh moves rather quickly and you never know where she's going to show up! As you can see below....of course in between all of the hats she wears at home and behind the camera - she's also one of the Twitterati - so some of you may know her better as @fleurdeleigh. For this photo I think I'm calling her @fleurdeTREE!



...and of course, as photographers, it's pretty much a given that we'll go about anywhere to get the shot we want! Here's Deanna up to here eyeballs in clover....




So there you go - a little look into us keeping busy, and we'll have some more to share in the not too distant future, as well as some tips and insight for other photographers too!

Sarah & Jason...Columbus Street Session!

It had been quite awhile since doing a Street Session over in Columbus, so it was great to shoot Sarah & Jason's session while we roamed around Worthington, downtown Columbus and the Short North! Originally I was going to put up a quick 3-4 image sneak peek - but we had such a variety of locales - I just couldn't narrow it down! We did quite a bit of night shooting as well....

We are looking forward to their wedding at the Taft Museum in Cincinnati later this fall.....Here's just a few favorites!



Love this railroad bridge that crosses the Scioto River in downtown Columbus...and yeah, the lights in the background indicate a train is coming - but it never showed...bummer!



We always say, we're not ones to make you do goofy things or do the jump in the air kind of shots...however if you WANT to - we're more than happy to oblige by capturing absolutely anything you end up doing...... :)

Jason did a great job of plowing his way through a number of takes!


As things got dark - we headed into the Short North to work on some night time shots....gotta love this building!



A quick stop at one of Sarah & Jason's frequent hang outs......


The Short North is filled with all sorts of great little shops, restaurants, doorways, lights and neon...





We'll see you two in Cincinnati!
