Shannon and Chris: June 2, 2007



























Shannon Keys and Chris Murphy were married on June 2 at St. Brendans in Hilliard Ohio. It poured rain all morning and as I drove to the church in a huge downpour I was a little bit concerned. Although the wedding was indoors, we had plans to take the wedding party photos outdoors afterward. Everything worked out great. The ceremony was beautiful and the rain stopped before the ceremony even ended. These guys were so awesome and I wish them all the best in their new life together. Thanks to the Keys family (I love you guys!) and the Murphy's for letting me be a part of their special day.Here are some favorites from the Ceremony.

A Cemetery, Leatherlips, Dancing Bunnies, and the Scioto River















One morning while I was in Ohio last week I decided to wake up early and go out to shoot some scenes around Dublin. I started out at Scioto Park, where I took some shots of the river and of the Chief Leatherlips statue that I've seen so many times. We used to go sledding in this park in the winter and my church has a picnic there every Memorial Day. Next I headed over to Balantrae (sp?), a neighborhood that did not exist when I lived in Dublin. I saw the creepy dancing bunny statue last year and have wanted to photograph it ever since. Right across from the neighborhood is a really small, old old cemetery that I've driven by a thousand times and decided to photograph for the first time last week. Although I got up early to shoot in early morning lighting conditions, the light didn't change a whole lot over the two hours that I was out shooting. There was cloud cover just above the horizon, so I was lucky enough to not have to race the light. This was the first time in a long time that I've been out shooting on my own and I really enjoyed it. Here are some favorites.
