Aubrie & Ray Wedding Teaser.....

I am about 3/4 of the way through this wedding and after seeing some of the amazing shots we got on our shoot, I just had to take a break and blog some of them.... I love when people are really into taking photos and these guys truly were.... Thanks again for allowing me the honor to photograph your wedding guys!

The last shot I'm going to leave you with I have been trying to get for quite some time.... It's a controversial shot, but ever growing in popularity and known only as the "Pee Shot" I have been trying to get at least one groomsmen to go the extra mile for this one and totally drop trowel for the shot.... Many have considered with no takers.... Today, I met the right crew for the job.... They all did it I think it was both amazing and hilarious.... Hope you will all agree....

Thanks again for stopping by....

The Hamptons....

So while I was up in New Hampsire shooting a wedding, I got the chance to go the the Hamptons the following day.... Wow what cool place! Been so crazy with shooting weddings and everything I thought it might be nice to get back to my roots and show off a little artistic type shooting.... I have actually sold a couple of these already just from people seeing them on my main site.... If anyone is interested, please let me know..... As always, I hope you enjoy....

You can see the rest of the images from this shoot on my site, just go to event gallery, then down to Landscapes....

Senior Shoot Montage....

Ok just a couple of senior picture collages I have put together recently to keep the sr. picture thing going.... Great working with all of you! Hope to have some more of these completed soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Erin & Ryan E Shoot....

Thanks to Erin and Ryan for driving in from Erie this weekend to have their engagement shoot done down the street from my home.... We scheduled a little later than normal so we could get some really good sunset light, and wow did we hit it just right.... but you be the judge....

What a perfect rivalry to start off their journey together! I love it!

I'd just like to take a moment to thank Mother Nature for her help on this shoot! Amazing light last night girl....

Yet another great couple! Thanks again for driving all that way guys! You can see the rest of the shoot on my site http://www.t1photo.com/ go to the events gallery and then engagement shoots.... Hope you enjoy!

Jen & Todd Wedding.....

Yeah so I am reaaaaaaaaaaaaally lacking in my blog posts lately huh..... Sorry about that, I promise to do better! Been a very busy last few weeks, but it's a good busy! I love what I do....


So Jennifer and Todd got married a couple weeks back in beautiful Chardon, OH.... I love those small little old school towns.... I have actually shot there twice now in the last month or so.... Once for an engagement shoot and then this wedding, so I knew the town well. That being said, lets get into some pictures.... Nothing like a lady in waiting on her wedding day huh.... I loved this shot of Jen trying to see the church filling up with people.... It was beautiful service and the church, St. Mary's of Chardon, was one of the best I have worked with.... Ok, so now to the fun stuff.... We took this show on the road and went downtown!Yeah we pulled out all the stops for this shoot, busted out the pole dance, carved some rails at city hall, jay walked, you name it! When it was all said and done, Jen and Todd were married and happy..... I think this last shot says it all.... I know, maybe a tad too much on the artsy side, but I just love it..... Hope you do as well! Have a great weekend everyone! Off to shoot at the Candlelight Winery tomorrow in Garrettsville, OH for their anniversary and annual Pug Rescue Day. If your in the area and have some time, stop by!

T1 Out!

Annette & Dan Trash the Dress Shoot.....

So I got to do my first trash the dress shoot of the 2009 season and it turned out great if you ask me.... Annette and Dan were great sports! Thanks god the lake was warm.... I know I was shooting in water up to my neck for most of these shots and it felt great!

I wish I could talk every couple into doing one of these shoots.... They are sooooooo much fun and your wedding pics will be like no one elses.... Every day on the lake is different in it's own special way.... maybe the it's the clouds, maybe the sun, maybe the colors in the sky or the waves on the lake....
Ok, as always, you can see the whole set on my website at http://www.t1photo.com/ hope you enjoy!

California Vacation.....

Ok, so it has been a little crazy since the LA trip.... Sorry I haven't posted in a while.... Hopefully some of the cool pictures I shot while out there will make up for it! Hope you enjoy them!

This first image is from a place many people may know, but have never heard of before, there

have been over 100 movies filmed in these rocks, one which was a household name when I was a kid.... "The Planet of the Apes" Pretty cool huh! Yeah, it's is like no other place I have ever seen before that's for sure.... It's called Vasquez Rocks and if you're ever in Southern Cali, it's worth checking out....

The second image is from Angeles National Forest at the very top of the mountain, it's actually right next to the LA Fire Suppression Camp which was really cool the next day when we got to see these guys in action driving up the 405 when there were fighting a fire! Did I get a picture? Heck yeah I did! My sister also informed me I could probably go to jail for shooting while driving in the rush our traffic out there.... Nice!

It was amazing to see these guys in action, all the respect in the world for the job these people do.... If you look close on the left hand side of this image, you can even see the firemen on the ground....


Ok, so that's all for now, I will post some more of the fun pics from Venice in the next blog! Won't be so long this time.....

Rebecca & Taylor E Shoot....

Man have I been lucky with the weather lately.... what looked like a wash out again yesterday held off to allow me to have yet another incredible engagement shoot.... This time with Rebecca & Taylor. Very much looking forward to their wedding, they are a great couple and we had a blast walking around Chardon Square shooting.... Think we got some really good images! EnjoyTaylor's parents have a beautiful home and I had to show off the incredible architecture in a few shots around the house before we headed up town....

I saw this wall next to the police station on my way into town and thought it would be a cool back drop... then I came to find out from Taylor's mom that it was painted by some friends of hers in 1974! Wow, now that is cool! I think it worked perfect for a back drop!

Thanks again for a great time shooting yesterday guys! Hope everyone has a safe and fun Holiday weekend! As always, you can the rest of the shoot on my main site.... T1 out!

Michelle & Jeff Wedding.....

Soooooooooo sorry for the lack of posts on here lately.... June has been a very busy month and as of last week, I shot 3 weddings in just over one week! Happy to say however that images from all three weddings have been delivered to the clients and they all loved them! So with all my excuses out of the way, I will now share with you some of my favs from the first wedding that took place in Medina, Ohio at the beautiful Williams on the Lake.... Hope you enjoy!


Some amazing natural light coming through a sky light above the bride, Matthew the Video guy for Beach Boyz Entertainment first noticed it and we were lucky enough to get the bride out of the dressing room and under it for a nice series of shots before it went away.... Nice work Matthew....

Down town Medina also made for some really cool street shooting opportunities and we had a great time doing it. Plus, Jeff and Michelle did things a little different and we went out on our shoot before hand which allowed for a very nice, relaxed shoot. You guys were troopers in that heat!

If you would like to see more of this shoot please visit www.t1photo.com and go to the event galleries.... Then just look for Michelle and Jeff!

2nd part of Amanda & Bryan Wedding....

Ok so here is the color installment and fun shots from the Toledo wedding....

Now I ask you, how many photographers will go up to a fisherman that has been waiting for over 2 hours to catch a fish and ask him to let his bride real it in.... I will!

We went to the Toledo Art Museum, The Docks, and some old building in a cool part of downtown, Thanks again for sharing your city with me and making some memories that will last a lifetime....

Amanda & Bryan Wedding....

So I thought I would start this series off with black and white images from the church and them move on to some color shots of the fun stuff.... Amanda and Bryan were an incredible couple and I am so glad to have gotten the oportunity to come to Toledo and share their wedding day with them....and also spend some time in a new city and shoot away from the norm that I call home in Cleveland. I met some incredible people and had a great time! Thank you to everyone....

The church was incredible and though the lighting was a little tricky, I think I was able to pull of some great images....

Bryan pulled of a great dipping first kiss to end the church service and we took this show on the road.... Check back soon to see some shots from that!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Deanna & Scott E Shoot....

Had another incredible couple for an E shoot over the weekend.... Deanna & Scott are the type of couple you can just walk away from and let them be themselves and get some great shots. Thanks so much for working with me and for doing the super man shot! I know you have probably seen this shot done before, but I thought this would be a great couple to do it with and I think it turned out great! They really look like they are taking off! Love it!

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did shooting it!
