Allison and Joe's Engagement

I had a great time with Allison and Joe shooting their engagement photos at COSI. It's a beautiful location on the river with our beautiful downtown in the background. It was great meeting Joe and getting to know both of them better during our shot. Their wedding will be held at Wedgewood Country Club next year. Very much looking forward to their wedding!

Preview of Lauren and Alex's Wedding

I couldn't ask for a better wedding in winding down this years wedding season! A beautiful couple, a beautiful day and a beautiful venue. Lauren and Alex's wedding and reception was held at one of my favorite venues in Columbus the beautiful Franklin Park Conservatory.  Lauren looked beautiful! We started off at Penzones Grand Salon in Dublin, as always they did a fantastic job. The ceremony was held in the beautiful Palm House @FPC. The reception was a BLAST! Rob from Encore Entertainment kept the party going till the last song of the night. The flowers were just amazing! Robin and Anne from Flowers on Springtree Lane did an incredible job. Finally, I want to mention Jan Kish from La Petite Fleur. Her cakes are always amazing. Jan demonstrated the sabering of the Champaign bottle. Sabering is the French tradition of removing the cork from a bottle of champagne. This ritual dates back to Napoleon, when his soldiers used the reverse edge of their saber to break the neck of the bottle. Hence, the French expression "saber the bottle" came about illustrating the French belief that it is better to destroy the bottle than to do without champagne! 
Lauren and Alex left the reception in dramatic fashion with sparklers going off all around them. To an awesome couple, I wish you guys many years of happiness and a fun filled life.
