samantha {a senior session}

Man, we have sooo lucked out this year with such great Seniors!!! Each one has been so special and unique in their own way, and we still have more left for the year! I really love Senior sessions. :)

Samantha was fantastic! She was relaxed, laid back, and willing to do anything I suggested. She was a natural and sweet as could be-not to mention BEAUTIFUL!

Starting off with one of my favorites.

Beautiful girl!!!

Something different…

We had PERFECTO light that evening.

WOW!!!  Check out those EYES.  :)

I know this is busy, but I totally love this scene.

LOVE this one too!

ummmm… and this.  :)

She wanted to jump…we did a jump.   :)

Thanks Samantha for hangin’ with me for a while!!  Thanks to your Mama (hi Patricia!) for all the help with your LARRGGE wardrobe.  :)  It was fun!

lindsey + ted {are married!}

Well we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for our first outdoor wedding.  It was just beautiful!!  Lindsey and Ted were married at the lovely Shaker Run Golf Course in Lebanon, Ohio.  It was a great venue for a wedding and reception.  They chose this place because, of course, they LOVE golf!  (And don’t ask them about who is better.)    ;)

A little bling on a golf club…but of course.

A little bling on the beautiful Lindsey….

So, I thought the girls were gonna kill me when I suggested going down this steep hill to take a photo…they EMBRACED it and were cracking up the whole way down.

I told them it would be worth it.  I think it was.

Meanwhile Brett and the boys were somewhere else goofing off.  2 things in this photo crack me up.  $10 itunes gift card to the first person who guesses.   :)

The flowers were BEAUTIFUL!!! I thought the green flowers were “Hydrangeas” at first, but Lindsey told me they were “Irish Bells.”  They did a lot of fun Irish things in their wedding celebrating Ted’s Irish roots.

These bagpipers ROCKED!  It made the beautiful fall day a little closer towards “perfection.”

It was incredibly sweet how emotional Lindsey’s Dad was.  :)

LOVE this shot Brett got as Lindsey walked down the isle.

Happiness.

After the ceremony we had a line of golf carts waiting for us to travel around to take photos.  :)

Like I said, the place was BEAUTIFUL!!!

What a FUN bridal party we had!!!

This bridge was pretty amazing.  LOVE the shots we got on it.

So, Lindsey actually had a dream about a certain shot she wanted to have done.  This was her only request.  She dreamt that the groomsmen were holding her up so that we could get a shot of her dress train.  Well, we got a LOT of photos of this for you Lindsey!  Brett liked this one he took because you can see the bridesmaids up there waiting.

How cool is it that she had this creative dream??!!

Very trusting of her men!

the boys.

This wins the prize for the funniest groomsmen shot I have seen.  :)

Then we snagged a couple minutes alone with them before the reception.

Hearing that these two met while dancing came as no surprise after seeing their first dance to, “Living on a Prayer.”  They rocked it out!!!

Ted and Lindsey…thanks so much for having us be a part of your special day.  We wish you all the best, and happiness for many, many years to come!!   :)
