Sophie + Spencer :: Columbus Ohio Wedding Photography

Remember Sophie and Spencer’s engagement session last fall on the OSU campus? It’s been a long time coming, but their wedding was at the beautiful Liberty Presbyterian Barn Church in Powell Ohio, just outside of Columbus.

Sophie had the day all planned out, and the schedule was pretty tight. They hadn’t planned on seeing each other before the ceremony, and when I saw the schedule, I had to ask. My question was simple, “Why?” This is a direct quote from Sophie’s email after I explained the advantages to her.

“Wow! We hadn’t really thought of the “First Look” from that point of view. I guess it had been more of a superstition, or a thought that no one else does, that was holding us against it. But a little bit of “us” time ahead of time sounds really nice and we definitely want to go for it! It sounds like a lot of stress will be lifted and we will not be rushed— perfect!”

After that I spent some time outlining what I thought the schedule might look like with the First Look instead of waiting. Sophie’s response was just as exciting.

“The schedule looks PERFECT!! I absolutely cannot believe how much more time that we have, and that we are able to get photos in downtown Delaware too! We love that idea and are so happy that you gave us this entire new perspective on the wedding day photo timeline— we already can’t imagine it any other way!”

They day went perfectly, we had the absolutely most beautiful fall day (not too hot, not too cold), and the First Look allowed us to spend some time after the ceremony doing some bridal party photos in historic downtown Delaware Ohio.

Here’s Sophie, some bridesmaids, and some family and friends checking out the same day slideshow. Definite hit.

Kelsie + Kevin :: Columbus Engagement Photography

Part two of our double header…

After our trip to the county fair, we met up with Kelsie and Kevin just outside the city of Delaware (which is just north of Columbus). Kelsie lined up access to an old train. These first two are from that train, but as you can see we got out of there real quick. It must have been 90º and musty in there!

We explored the area around the train, and found some pretty killer stuff, and the sun…. mmmmmm… the sun was just perfect! This is exactly why we recommend scheduling your session just before sunset.

We were hanging out near this fenced off power unit, and Kelsie goes, “Man, this fence reminds me of Prison Break.” BAM, that was all it took and I had this idea. Really happy with how closely this matched what I saw in my head!

Do yourself a favor and just look at Kelsies EYES! Wow, we cannot get over how intense and colorful they are! (They are NOT photoshopped or altered in any way)

Steph + Dylan :: Columbus Engagement Photography

Steph and Dylan are getting married next April. They told me that the focus of their relationship and of their wedding is “fun.” They love to have fun, and they want everyone around them to have fun too. We met up at the Delaware County fair in Columbus this past weekend for some fun engagement photos. 

Stay tuned for their wedding next spring!
