Tagging along....

One of the great things about having a network of other photographers and friends is being able to tag along occaisionally and just shoot and experiment. I got to do just that last weekend with Kim & Joe on their wedding in downtown Dayton. All too often as photographers can get involved in our own little worlds and how we always do things. It's nice to break out of that every now and then and discover some new opportunities!

For Beth & Joe's wedding, we started at St. Joseph's in downtown Dayton and then to the Dayton Art Institute for the reception.



I I kind of liked the Nautilus effect as I headed up to the balcony....



Loved the cake and the favors!




It was a beautiful day outside that made the rotunda area gorgeous but a little challenging....Beth & Joe on their first dance.....


Father daughter dance......


No...Kim didn't slip and fall..she's just not bashful about taking the angle she wants for a shot!


This summer has seen some weddings where the kids were really getting into the dancing - and Beth & Joe's day was no exception!




Even in a fast paced day we managed to get some nice quiet time with Beth and Joe...congratulations to the two of you!



So for you other photographers out there...if you haven't yet connected with others in your area definitely do so! Everyone benefits from the learning, helping and association!

Teagan & Tyler Street Session...in Dayton, Ohio

When it came time to do Teagan & Tyler's Street Session in downtown Dayton, we really couldn't ask for better weather or light! One thing about downtown Dayton is you can get a really nice variety of looks in a very small area....we had fun hitting a couple of old favorites - as well as trying out some new discoveries too!





Of course, if I see fountains I'm going to end up shooting through them!





It was soooo nice of someone to paint that heart on the wall... :)



Anytime I see an opportunity for something edgy or moody I'm there....

We'll see you two in just a few weeks!
