Fourth of July wedding in Cincinnati, OH! Everything was held at their church, Northminster Presbyterian on Compton Road. We loved doing photographs with Dan's motorcycle in front of the church - he had to quickly get it home before it rained, though!
We finished up the day with sparklers in front of the church - then headed off to our own Fourth of July celebration. It was a great day - with a super fun couple!

Behind the Scenes
It's bound to happen - you have two (or more!) photographers, and you sometimes get in each others way. And next thing you know, one of you is in the background of the other person's photo!
My second shooter (who is also my husband!) and I have mostly worked this out. We have our "positions" for different points in the ceremony and reception, and we try to time our photos, so that the other person can move out of the way.
For example, he might be at the end of the aisle shooting people as they walk down it. Since I tend to stick with my bride, I am often at the other end of the aisle getting them before they enter the church or ceremony site. And I get photos of the back of people as they walk down and the candids of the Bride before she enters.
We try to make sure we've positioned ourselves, so we can duck out of the way or hide when the other person is taking their photo. I will see his flash go, and then he will get out of the way, so I can take a photo without him in it. Takes a little coordination, but come on, nobody wants a bunch of photos with US in them!
Since I am the primary photographer, I am often the one in the way....but hey, I need to make sure I'm getting all the photos the Bride and Groom have requested. Sometimes, it's just not really possible to get the photo without one of us in it....here I am shooting Beth and Dan at their recent July 4th wedding...

4th of July Wedding - Beth & Dan
Beth & Dan, July 4, 2009
We were lucky to meet Beth and Dan - a truly fun, happy couple! This is another crazy story. They had a photographer lined up for their wedding, but it was a friend who was going to charge them next to nothing.
Well, last minute, the "friend" decided they would be out-of-town and couldn't do the wedding! That is when Beth began to frantically search the Internet for someone else. Some magic combination of keywords brought her to us, and they booked during our first meeting!
