Brittney and David | Dayton Wedding Photography

Brittney and David wanted to ensure that their wedding was meaningful, not just to them, but to their friends and family. It was a day full of personality and many personal touches; from the handmade pink and navy accents to the lovely wedding party they both chose to stand by their side. Brittney carried her mother’s antique clutch and wore a handmade chiffon flower in her hair. The neon Kanye glasses gifted to the bridal party were big hits and prompted quite a few fresh poses. The little thoughtful things were a perfect reflection of the sincere and fun nature that makes up their relationship.

Also, it is clear what’s important to them. They hugged every guest and thanked each one personally for being there. The outpouring of love that day made by family and friends is a true testament to this couple’s character and love.

David and Brittney, thank you for having us be a part of your day. We were honored to capture your wedding and blessed to call you friends. We wish you much happiness (Tiger Woods fist pump)!

Summer Vacation | California

Something about summer always brings back memories of childhood. I remember other seasons, but summer is particularly vivid. Vacation, freedom, sun tea on the deck, hearing the screen door slam, writing and rewriting my birthday list, running through the sprinkler and hopping on my bike (it was thrilling). Days where your bathing suit was your outfit for the day and it was perfectly acceptable. Those summers of my youth. Every summer I’m reminded and think fondly of my 6-year-old self. I hope my girls can have similar memories.

In May, we visited Southern California. Where I was born. Our honeymoon destination. In-N-Out Burger. Needless to say, it holds a very special place in our hearts. Jonah packed just one camera and three rolls of film. 36 shots. Georgie lining up smooth rocks in the sand; Vivi running to the ocean and falling in the ocean; The girls giggling as they walked through the grass barefoot; Their glee upon entering Disneyland and meeting Goofy. I cherish each moment.
