This eSession was done during August 2010. So, it was HOT! But that didn't stop me, Mairi and Joshua from having a lot of fun during their engagement session. Can't wait for their July 2011 wedding at the Savannah Center!
As you can see, an eSession at Ault Park is perfect almost any time of the year. Next week, I'll talk about photos at Glenwood Gardens. An almost free option. Look for my Cincinnati Music Hall review and photos coming soon!
In the meantime, enjoy a little slice of summer.....

Video Montage { Amanda & Chris } May 2009
This video montage is from Amanda and Chris's May 2009 wedding at beautiful Ault Park. We started with photos in the gardens, but a pop-up shower caused us to make a mad dash for the pavilion. The couple originally planned to have the ceremony outside but had to move everything under the cover of the building and tents.
Luckily, the rain didn't last long and gave us the opportunity to take some very cool umbrella photos! Amanda and Chris were such great sports and took it all in stride. And were rewarded with a beautiful sunset.
I LOVE Ault Park - it's one of my favorite places to shoot, and I do photos there all the time. I would love to talk to you if you are planning your wedding at Ault Park - or any park, for that matter! We have several 2011 weddings scheduled at local parks, and my camera loves taking photos outdoors.
Also, all 2011 packages now include the video montage - let us know if you want to discuss your 2011 Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana or destination wedding. We'd love to hear from you!

Some Tough Church Rules & The Manor House
Big wedding tomorrow. Ceremony is at a church in Hyde Park. I read their photographer rules on their website, and WOW - they are STRICT. I've worked under some crazy conditions, but these are the worst by FAR.
1. No photos except from the balcony or the narthex (which is the church lobby). So, that means all telephoto shots, maybe a few wide angle from the balcony. And I'm going to assume that the narthex will have glass between it and the church area - those photos through the glass are going to look GREAT (yeah, right!).
2. I can't go past the eighth pew during the processional.
3. Only ONE shot of the Bride and each Bridesmaid as they walk down the aisle. Seriously, ONE??? I just don't think that's possible - and come on, how will they know? Are they going to count the number of times I press the shutter...? I may follow all of their other crazy rules, but I'm going to bend this one for sure.
4. No flash except during the processional. I don't remember anything about the recessional, but another rule I'll break if necessary.
From what I can tell, it's a fairly pretty church - I even think I was in a wedding there years ago (this will jar my memory for sure). But some pretty hard core rules on photography!
The reception will be at The Manor House in Mason, Ohio. It's on my "list" of places I want to do photos. From what I've seen online, there's a gorgeous courtyard area with a gazebo, small stream, bridge, etc. We'll be rushing from the church to The Manor House to squeeze in some of those key photos before the sun sets! We won't have much time, that's for sure.
All in all, tomorrow won't be the easiest of weddings - some of the conditions are definitely not in favor of the photographer (yours truly), but that won't stop me from trying to get the most fabulous photos I can! I haven't had an angry Bride and Groom yet, and I don't plan to start now.
