Just shooting around - Dayton Photographer

While I was in the park the other day hanging out waiting for my next client I was having a great time shooting different flowers that I was coming across....

It is so nice to have some flowers and trees alive - I love the Spring!!

I caught this image and even though it is just the tree branch I really like it and I think that I might print it for my wall at home....

The Wright Wedding - Dayton Wedding Photographer

I wanted to post just a few more images from The Wright Wedding. I shot this wedding inside The Wedding Connection last Thursday. I had a great time getting to know this amazing couple and I wish them all the best in the many years of happiness to come.

Taylor & Seth Engagement Sneak Peeks - Dayton Wedding Photographer

So I have so many favorite shots from Taylor and Seth's session yesterday. I will have to post more just as soon as I get a chance. They are so in love that I swear the pictures just show their love. They were brave and a ton of fun, exploring Downtown Dayton. Which honestly is so cool, I really hope that someday it can come back to life, I can just imagine how crazy awesome it was back in its time.

So many more to come of Seth and Taylor so if you want to see when more are posted "like" www.facebook.com/cmariesphoto and/or follow me on twitter at cmariesphotos

Jeanette & Terry Sneak Peek - Dayton Wedding Photographer

Jeanette & Terry were not only the People's Choice Winner of my Couple's Contest, but I get to shoot the beautiful fall wedding that they are planning for next year! We headed out to the park and got some great engagement portraits even though it was like 40 degrees and I kid you not I seriously was wearing my winter coat. They were great at thinking warm thoughts to get through the shoot.....there are so many images that I love but these are a couple of my favorites. I hope to get the chance to get even more edited and posted just as soon as I can. 

I had a great time getting to know them both a little more and I can't wait to meet the rest of their families at the wedding. They are a great couple, I can just see many many happy years to come in their future!! :-)

 I am so excited I got this shot, I have tried it like a half dozen times and never nailed it til now!!! :-)

For those of you who do not know Terry and Jeanette, they LOVE this car! I feel like this shot is a shot that tells a ton about them! He popped the question at the National Trans Am Car Show while showing this car at the show.

Baby Mathieu - Tiny Human Session - Dayton Newborn Photographer

I had the chance to meet little Mathieu last week when he was only about 10 days old. He is just darling, sure to be a heart breaker. I will be so glad to see him grow and capture some of his life's little moments. You can't help but fall in love with this little guy. 

Photographer's Note: That zebra stripe blanket is the best thing ever I have decided. It always makes the babies warm and I love the texture of it. And I am beginning to really enjoy newborn photography more and more as they are just so tiny and cute and just so sweet! It really is crazy how fast baby's grow they are bigger and bigger everyday so I really feel like I am capturing a moment in time.

Congrats to the new mommy and daddy!!

Baby Annabelle - Cutest Tiny Human Contest Winner - Dayton Children's Photographer

I miss Annabelle already! She is so sweet and happy! When Annabelle came down to visit and do her photo shoot, it rained pretty much the entire day so I had a serious challenge on my hands...

Thats right! Most of this photo shoot was taken in IKEA. :-) 

I now know all the fun stuff I want for my studio some day but people shopping that day might of thought we were completely crazy!! :-) And maybe we are! :-)

Annabelle is the full of energy and I can't wait to see what she does this fall with a pile of leaves!

The Hill Family - Dayton Family Photographer

This past Sunday I was hanging out with the Hill Family. I just love this whole family. Some of you might recognize Elaine from the Dayton Bridal Expo, she is such an AWESOME client that she was helping at the show! :-) I have awesome clients!! 

As I looked through all the images to see what all I got from the shoot I couldn't help but notice that in these top three images I feel like I can tell that Brian and Elaine not only love each other but also just love their little family! I wish I were a better writer, so I could explain that in better words but I guess you can see the 3000 words below....

Who says you can't use a tool shed as a great location! :-)

The Flowerman! - Dayton Florist

The Flowerman, is very well known in the Dayton Area for fresh quality at adorable prices with a large selection of flowers. Last May I photographed the most beautiful wedding of Shelley and Drew Gault. The Flowerman was the florist and I believe the flowers were very beautiful! 

The Flowerman keeps their cost low partly because they have low overhead. When you drive to The Flowerman, you might think your GPS has told you the wrong thing but if you are in front of a warehouse building, you are at the right place! It is kinda cool actually that it is in a warehouse I like it because it is different than expected. 

A cool thing that they do offer is a Do It Yourself Option, which is a great way to have amazing flowers on a budget. It not only saves you money but you have a ton of fun with your friends, families, and bridesmaids. Grab some snacks and get creative! 

The Flowerman has received several Best of the Knot and Wedding Wire Bride's Choice Awards!

September is Vendor Appreciation Month at C.Marie's Photography so please keep checking back all this month for more reviews on some really awesome companies!
