PhotoBooth on May 29th, 2010 at Kolping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio - (Post by David) Tiffany and Zach’s wedding was filled with laughter — and a lot of it was in  their photobooth! Special thanks to our assistant Amanda for helping out with the booth that night too!:DIf you’d like to see more of Tiffany and Zach, be sure to also check out their wedding!:)

Wow.:D

Why do we use a 12′ x 12′ space? This is why.:DTry and fit this in a 3′ x 3′ box!

Grrr!!!

This was by far the funniest moment of the evening. SERIOUSLY. We had a full dance.:D

Love you! Mom

(David's) Dad - June 12, 2010 - 10:57 am

What a lot of fun!

Loved the b & w of Tiffany & Zach dancing with their bridesmaids. Makes it feel like a live-action photo that is still going on.

Well done.

Tiffany and Zach’s Cincinnati Wedding

Wedding on May 29th, 2010 at Kolping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio - (Post by David) “Cathy and David — I absolutely love your style!  I know I am getting married right in the heart of the busy season but I am really hoping you are available on that day!  I love your style and your work and how the photography seems to be just as important to you as it is to my fiance and me. You are exactly what I have been looking for!  Please, please, please be available that day!” These are the sorts of couples we look for and we love getting brides who are so excited about their photos. Even back last July when we were talking about their album options, Tiffany couldn’t get the wedding out of her mind day and night. So when the big day came, she was so excited.

We picked up our friend Amanda Hoffman, who came along as our assistant for the day as she wanted to get some experience shooting weddings. She’s going to be shooting her first wedding on her own soon, so we wanted her to get a little more air-time before she did it alone. Anyways, after dropping off Cat at the salon I met up with the guys at a building by the church where they were doing jumping into bean bag chair contests, seeing how far they could go. It was a little crazy.:DThankfully however the building was air conditioned and was the place to be whenever it got too hot outside for people (we’re talking 90+ degrees, okay? Super-hot for us midwest people). After their ceremony was over and a harrowing adventure in the Mustang getaway car, we went through her list of formals in no time (thanks to their family for being so organized!).

We had so much fun at their reception, shooting in our PhotoBooth (coming up on the next blog entry), listening to the heartfelt toasts and laughing with their family and friends. Everyone at this wedding was warm, inviting and made us feel like family. Even with the guest list topping 350 people (…wow…) it seemed as though everyone knew everyone, and the hugs and cheer never ceased. Everyone danced at their wedding, the waiters, us, the family and friends, even the DJ and his wife at the end (seriously, these two could be on dancing with the stars!!!). We had such a fun time with all of them, and when the lights came back on and the last dance was over, we were sad to go.

How crazy-awesome are these shoes?:DHow she walked down the aisle (oh yes! she walked in these!!) I have NO idea.

Tiffany and Zach escaped through the basement. This might be one of my favorite shots of the day.:)

An awesome shot taken by our assistant, Amanda.:)

Then Cat caught her mom, boogyin’ through the bubbles.:)She was super-awesome.:D

Don’t know why but this is also up their for favorite photo of the wedding.:)

Zach might take the award for only person I know who drives crazier than I do!!! …seriously…:)

If you follow me on twitter or facebook then you’ve seen this photo. This might be one of my top 5 favorite photos I’ve taken.:D:D:D

I’ve started using our 70-200 2.8L IS a lot more at receptions since talking to our friend, Josh. Loving the results (two below).

So many cute kids at this wedding.:)Left two are by Amanda, the right one is by Cathy.

Amanda’s shot on the left, my shot on the right.:)

This group danced from minute one till the last song, non-stop. We loved them.:D

Gotta love seeing all the parents dancing. My wife rocked these shots.:D

I LOVE her shoes!!

Jan Rickard - June 27, 2010 - 8:33 pm

This is Tiff’s mother and I just want to tell you guys the significance of the one picture where you stated “Don’t know why but this is also up there for favorite photo of the wedding” – the older man in blue suit focused on the right side is my dad and Tiff’s grandfather. Tiff is my parents only grandchild – this pict is very special as my Dad has Alzheimer’s – that look on his face is very peaceful and happy. Thank you!

Tiffany and Zach Elston - June 16, 2010 - 1:36 am

We have finally made it to Wyoming! You guys are absolutely AMAZING!!! You sooo lived up to our dreams and far surpassed them! I am SO glad you were available to shoot my wedding… it was meant to be ;) haha! The pictures are absolutely GORGEOUS! You captured every moment perfectly! Thank you soo much! Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures and the album! Take care! <3

Thomas Lester - June 13, 2010 - 4:58 pm

What a great set of images. Good looking couple, HOT bride. The first bride/bridesmaids grouping and the backlit shot (really warm) are both AWESOME. Those are my faves, but the whole set is fantastic.

Saskia - June 13, 2010 - 1:43 pm

Amanda and Roger’s French Lick Wedding

Wedding on May 22nd, 2010 at French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana - (Post by Cathy) We have been so impatiently waiting for this day! We have known Amanda for a while now, ever since she accompanied her friend Summer to a meeting with us over coffee. Summer soon booked us for her and Ryan’s Huntingburg wedding, as did Amanda’s friends Meredith (who sung during the ceremony! YAH!) and Ulises. And then it was Amanda’s turn to be engaged and of course she called us up as soon as the ring was on her finger.:)Amanda and Roger’s Lake Geneva engagement session ended up being one of our favorites of all time (gorgeous couple + sweet location + the best post-session pizza on the planet!).

So when Amanda and Roger’s wedding day finally arrived, we were almost as excited as they were. Amanda’s girls (who were all stunningly beautiful!) were by her side all day and kept her calm and laughing until it was finally time for the ceremony. Before stepping through the church doors to walk down the aisle, Amanda stood outside with her girls concentrating on breathing and holding back her tears. Her dad, who had yet to see Amanda in her dress, stepped outside to join her. He literally could not contain the emotions that hit him when he saw his only daughter looking so beautiful in the most important dress of her life. Standing outside those church doors watching Amanda’s dad admiring his daughter and wiping away tears was probably one of the most emotional moments I’ve witnessed at a wedding. And that was just the beginning. From their vows to their speeches at the reception to their very first dance, everything about this day was full of genuine emotion and love.

Amanda and Roger – We had an awesome day with you two. Thank you SO much for letting us be a part of it. It was an honor to capture your first moments as husband and wife and we had such a blast hanging out with your friends and family! Hope you’re having an amazing honeymoon and we love you both!!!

David didn’t notice the little message on the top-left when he took this.:)

Stacey Mayo and her team did an AMAZING job (as usual!!!) on Amanda and the bridesmaid’s makeup. She’s our fav.:)

Amanda’s church was simply stunning to say the least.

David and the guys went up in the old bell tower to get these (both with natural light!). Apparently it was a bit rickety and steep because David came back down covered in a nervous sweat.:D

Normally David is the one that gets choked up at weddings. This time though, Amanda and her dad really got me going.:)

Thumbs up!:D

David was almost in tears laughing when he took this. The guys didn’t have a clue why till after he took it.:)

Every so often we shoot at a reception location that goes above and beyond expectations. French Lick Springs Resort was impeccable. The service was incredible, and the staff was super-friendly. We could shoot at this location for every wedding and love every minute of it. Honestly if you’re thinking of having your wedding here you’ll have nothing to worry about! David’ pet peeve is that most places don’t iron the table cloths. See any wrinkles on the left? NOPE!

Amanda and Roger gave an incredibly heartfelt thank you to their guests before they did their first dance. It was so sweet and a very tearful moment.:)

Amanda and Roger hired a band from Atlanta who did an awesome job!

We loved the bridal party at this wedding.:D

“SHOUT!”

Me, Summer, Amanda, Meredith and David. We’re all crouched, except Meredith.:DHehe.

Thanks for reading! – Cathy and David, Photographers.
