Cleveland Beach shoot... in November? Sweet!

So I have to say, when Lisa and Bill called me up and wanted to cancel our E shoot back in September due to some bad weather coming in that day, I didn't think we would have much luck getting a decent day to shoot before next spring.... Wow was I wrong! Sooooooooooo glad we waited!






And we still managed to have some leaves to get in a good leaf shoot too! Sweet!



Hope you enjoyed!

T1 Out!

A New Trash The Dress Shoot....

Wow.... It's really been almost 3 months since I posted a new blog entry.... Where does the time go? It's been a very busy wedding season so far for 2010 and as we get ready to make the turn into the 2nd half of the season, I thought I should take the time today to post something...anything...just to let you all know I'm still out here....

With that, lets take a look at an awesome TTD shoot I recently did with Maria & Curt at Mentor Headlands Beach.... We had an awesome time and I think I may have captured my new favorite Bridal Portrait....






And finally, here is my new favorite portrait....



I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope to post more soon!

T1 out!

If you were to get an album from me, the following is what you should hope to expect to see.... Hope you enjoy!









































Thanks again for stopping by, hope you enjoyed the post!

Wow, it's been a while....

So it looks like I have not posted on my blog since some time in September.... Where did the time go? At any rate, Happy New Year Everyone!

Now my question is, with so many incredible weddings since my last post, where do I start? Hmmmmmm well, lets just throw one out there.... How about Rebecca & Taylor? Sweet!
Gotta love a big old pick up truck over a boring old limo right? Heck yeah, we are in Ohio.... Loved it! Nice work guys....

Another great couple to work with and another fantastic shoot at the always beautiful Genva Lodge.... I love when the entire wedding party is into the shoot as much as I am and you can tell that they are by the images that you get..... Thanks again for having me on your big day!

I promise I will continue posting other weddings I have done since September and there are quite a few of them!

As always, thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out the blog!

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!

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!

Sarah & Allen E Shoot

Another fantastic couple and another fantastic day to shoot! Sarah and Allen love Kelly's Island, the water, and sharing a bottle of wine with friends. So with that in mind, we tried to show some of that in their engagement picutes. We started off just down the street from my studio in a small local vinyard....

Sarah & Allen are also big fans of black and white, which I am too.... so for this blog post, I chose to stick with that concept through out....

From the vinyard we went down the street yet again to one of my favorit shooting spots, the lake..... It was a beautiful calm day and would have been a great day to be out on the water. Allen and I were both bummed that we weren't able to be out there.... but soon!

One of the things that I love most about this shooting location is that nature has a way of always changing it around.... If anyone followed my site last year, you probably noticed a huge drift tree that I did quite a few shots on. Well that tree is all but gone now, so the entire landscape of the beach has changed. Being that I do shoot some of the same locations over, I constantly try to mix things up to keep it fresh. I try to use different lighting, different angles, etc to give the shots a unique perspective.

I hope you all enjoyed this shoot as much as I did.... as always, check out http://www.t1photo.com/ to see the rest of the shoot. Thanks for stopping by!

Laurie & Jason E Shoot....

Wow! What a perfect way to start off the Cleveland wedding season! Perfect day, perfect weather, perfect light, and the perfect couple. This is also a perfect example of why I like to do the engagement shoots with my couples.... It allows me another day to meet with and get to know my couples, it is amazing what you learn about each other in just a short hour long shoot with them. When Laurie and Jason asked if they could bring their guitars along for the shoot, I was more than happy to say yes.

Remember what I was talking about when I said the light was perfect? Take a look at this first picture and judge for yourself....

From the beach we went to a cool little old time train station I found only a few minutes from my home/studio. It's amazing what you can find to shoot right in your own back yard, all you have to do is open your eyes when your out and about. My wife may bed to differ, she thinks I look around a little too much when I drive...but in this case, I think was worth it....

Love it!

Ok, so if you would like to see the rest of the images from the shoot, please visit my site http://www.t1photo.com/ and go to the proofing gallery tab. Hope you enjoy! Looking forward to your comments.
