Tonya & Steve Married Today - Dayton Wedding Photographer

Today at The Wedding Connection Tonya and Steve tied the knot. There is nothing more fun or amazing as a wedding photographer to start my day with a wedding. Wanted to get a couple sneak peeks up for them to share with friends and family. I hope they have a beautiful wedding day and many many more happy years to come.

I just melt when couples hug after their first kiss.

Laughing together! This couple just kept melting my heart!! Cheers to make more years of laugher!

Bauman Family Sneak Peek - Loveland Family Photographer

I have had such a great time getting to know this family. I had a great time with them again this weekend for summer time family portraits. I can hardly believe how big the kids are getting, they are so big. And I love that they love to say my name and get so excited to play when I come over. I just love this family!

Here are two sneak peeks....

Boehmer Family - Dayton Photographer

Thank goodness for great neighbors with wonderful flowers, Tara and Sam have a wonderful neighbor that let us use her yard and it worked out perfectly!! It was very hot of course but we all made it! Bella was having a very serious day but thanks to an iPhone and lots of dancing and begging we got a few really sweet shots out of her! She was seriously killing me with those facial expressions!

I feel Bella is saying "Really guys, really?" LOL

YAY for the iPhone that makes animal noises! :-)

I actually really love that you can see their house in the background! :-)

Rebecca + Brian Engagement Sneak Peek - Dayton Wedding Photographer

This afternoon I got the chance to meet the bride and groom for June 16th's wedding. Brian and Rebecca were a lot of fun and we got to go to several locations to get lots of fun photographs with many backgrounds. Below is just two of many more to come. For those of you who don't know Brian and Rebecca, Brian is deaf and so I have been trying to brush up on my ASL skills from high school classes. Lucky for me one of my best friends has taken 6 quarters of ASL in college and came with me today so I could keep learning and help me be able to talk to Brian a little easier. I am actually really enjoying learning and I was pretty proud of myself I remembered more than I thought, and Brian I promise to get better at it, thanks for your patience. And for those of you that do know me, you know I love to talk so I really want to be able to sign or he will never know just how much I love to talk, which is just part of me. HEHE.
I really think that the two of them are just very sweet and I am looking forward to the wedding and its only 19 days away - so stay tuned to the blog and Facebook for their wedding pictures! I know it will be a beautiful wedding from what Rebecca was telling me about today!!

I asked them today how they met and they replied with "It was love at first sign" :-) I love that, so sweet!

Erin + Dan Married | Bluffton Wedding Photographer

Erin & Dan tied the knot in Bluffton Ohio at Bluffton Baptist Church and celebrated their reception at VFW in Ada, Ohio. With flowers decorating the church and reception made by Panache, LLC located in Bluffton, Ohio. Erin & Dan picked the perfect day for their wedding, the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful. People came from far and wide to attend and it was great getting to see how much amazing support and love these two wonderful people have in their lives. I wish them both many many happy years to come.
