I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Garza family these last few months. I just adore the entire family and feel honored they have chosen me to capture these priceless memories. Mr. W was celebrating his 10 months this day and even though he wasn’t feeling the best, he put his happy face on when I needed it.  Thanks for looking!

I had the great honor and privilege of second shooting with one of Toledo’s finest photographers Jennifer Mott. This was a very different wedding than I had shot before and it will stand out for a long time. The bride had grown up on the theater stage and wanted incorporate that in to her wedding. So that is where they got married–on stage. They even had some skits and songs during the ceremony! Amazing. Even though was her matron of honor had been deployed to Iraq, that didn’t stop them! They left a seat open for her on stage, she saw the entire wedding and even gave the traditional matron of hour toast via satellite. There was not a dry eye in the reception hall that night. Thank you Jennifer for thinking of me and I hope to work with you again!

Everyone was seated and waiting for the ceremony to begin and one of the skits they performed.
