Say "Cheese"! - Photo Venues
As mentioned in previous posts, from the very first moment we sit down with a couple we try to get a feel for their unique interests and personality as a couple. Incorporating this makes photos memorable for couples and guests. It also helps we photographers flex our creativity and get pumped for the big day.
Some of our favorite photo venues for bridal party portraits after and before the ceremony include:
The Hancock wedding! Nicole and Rod had a blustery March afternoon shoot that took us to the rolling landscape on the campus of Defiance College in Defiance, Ohio. Opting for a more more geometric and abstract landscape, naked trees and weathered vegetation looked GREAT, and complimented the bride's dress perfectly.
The Strine Wedding! The Historic Sauder Village and Museum of Archbold, Ohio was a treat to visit as an adult. Probably every person who attended elementary school in one of the surrounding counties can recall that exciting field trip to the museum as a child. I'll admit it, at 28, I still enjoyed photographing and strolling around the quaint little workshops that, when in season, are home to period artisans and re-enactors. Shannon and Cory were a big fan of the covered bridge on-site, a standard for any wedding shot at this location, as well as a large weeping willow next to it. We really wanted to incorporate the willow once we spotted it since a large willow graces the couple's font yard of their Bryan, Ohio home. Elizabeth and I both fell in love with the wooden doors on one of the museum shops!

It's those Hermans again!
The Home of mama and papa Herman (Bryan, Ohio) had a huge hill with a valley wooded with many tall and beautiful deciduous trees. As the July afternoon sun dipped low, the golden hour lit the scene and made for a wonderful backdrop (random sticks were also used in centerpieces for tables at the reception)! Thank you again Diane!!!! :D
And finally... The Stubblefield Wedding! In our previous blog Fave Gift: Pay it Forward, we shared Kate and Jeremy's love of baseball. With the help of the Auburn, Indiana Parks and Recreation department, we were able to take the boys to the field and snap some great shots to reflect their shared bond. AND we even beat the rain! :D No game delay for us!
Thanks again Auburn Parks and Rec!!!
