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!

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!

Sarah & Ryan have been in love for many years now. They are some of the very few lucky couples that found each other  when they were very young, and they have been together ever since. I had a great time hanging out with them at the park the other day and was very grateful that Sarah's mom was along to help hold the reflector, :-)

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....
