Wedding Details at The Piggery at Anna Dean Farm

Since I became a wedding photographer more than five years ago, I've had a handful of clients who have requested that I keep (most of) their wedding photos private. This can be a little bit tricky because I obviously use my client's photos in my own portfolio to book more work.

While I obviously want to showcase beautiful weddings, I also understand that brides and grooms have personal or professional reasons for keeping photos private ... and they still deserve beautiful wedding photos! I'm lucky to be at the stage in my business where I can afford to give up a model release here and there and it not affect my bookings, but I'm not going to sugarcoat it: When I book a beautiful wedding with a beautiful couple who have hired amazing wedding vendors, it's so sad to give up that piece of the project!

Lucky for me, this bride and groom who were married last spring agreed to me sharing detail photos from their day, and I'm so, so glad I have the chance to show off their vision AND credit some talented vendors (Fair Rarity did the beautiful florals; Borrow Rentals provided the farmhouse tables, the furniture and other big reception details; and The Piggery at Anna Dean Farm lent the perfect reception venue).

Enjoy!

Tallmadge Circle Family Session

Akron Ohio Lifestyle PhotographyWant to see the two most adorable little girls? Well, scroll down because Clare and Maggie will just melt your heart. These two little ladies are so pretty in pink, and dare I say future Miami University students? :)

Fun story: I met Julie, their mom, at Scott Dining Hall on campus where we both worked. Yep, that's right. We mixed smoothies and twisted pretzels for the hungry students of Miami. How CRAZY that I'm now photographing her family! I don't think either of us would have called that one eight years ago!

Julie and her husband, Steve, are fellow Miami Mergers (you know how much I love Miami Mergers … here and here for just a couple examples) and are now doing such a wonderful job raising their two girls in Northeast Ohio. M family, I loved getting a peek into your life. Thanks for having me!

Akron Ohio Lifestyle Photography Clare is the most interesting 3-year-old I've ever met. While we were walking to the church in Tallmadge Circle she casually mentioned that it was "pitiful" that it was so cold outside. I couldn't have agreed more, Clare.
