Devon + John // Dayton Masonic Center Wedding // Dayton, Ohio

We've been enjoying traveling quite a bit lately, but there's something special about shooting in your own city. Dayton has a lot of history, but the city's been through the wringer. It's great to spend time exploring different parts of the city and see how a revitalization is happening, slowly but surely. Below, you'll see a crazy bright blue wall. The day before we were downtown and that wall was white. And now it's been painted further and looks different again. As a photographer there's a little bit of a proud moment when you see something like that happen and realize that no one will ever be able to take that photo again (even us). Devon + John's wedding was amazing. We had nice soft overcast skies for a big part of the day, and then the sun broke out and gave us some incredible light. We had a couple that was ridiculously in love with each other, and we so thrilled to have their family and friends around them. We had a great venue and ample time for photos. Couldn't have asked for better.

Reception: Dayton Masonic Center

Salon: Square One

Ceremony: St. Joseph

DJ: Chris Hatke

Ali + Brock // Hood Canal Wedding // Seattle, Washington

They say that it's always raining Seattle. If you ask us, it may be raining in Seattle, just when we're not there. We've been there twice now, and the entire time we've spent there it's been sunny and gorgeous. Their engagement session was perfect, and Ali + Brock's wedding was no different. We couldn't have asked for better weather, especially for an outdoor wedding at a beach house on the Hood Canal. Hopefully 2013 will bring more amazing opportunities to travel!

We also want to give a huge shout out to our good friend Jeff, who helped put us in contact with Ali + Brock. You can check out his video coverage of the wedding below!
