Married // Charlene + Geoff
I started the wedding season quite early this year! in January! Charlene and Geoff got married on a beautiful, sunny but chilly, Saturday afternoon at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Grove City. It had been cold all week but the sun came out for their wedding! I was introduced to Charlene through one of the bridesmaids, Alice, who recommended me to be their wedding photographer! Luckily, Charlene liked my work and gave me a call. And now here are the photographs!
Hairspray!
Charlene got her hair and makeup done at New Wave Salon in Columbus

I saw you sneak a peek at me!
boom! married!
Love my new lens! It's so sharp!
Although it was sunny, it still was cold!
took awhile to get, but we got the jumping shot!
I love when dads tell embarrassing stories!
A nice moment
I think kids always have the best time at receptions!
Charlene and Geoff, thank you so much for letting me be apart of your day! Wish you all the best back in NYC!

Retreat Recap Video/New Years
Over Winter Break, I attended my church's Winter Youth Retreat. It was a blast seeing all these guys get pumped up and really learn about who God is and what He is about. I was asked to serve in the roles of worship and video. Every year, there is a mistake that I make and something that I learn. I'm always humbled in some sort of way and this year was no different. There were times that I stepped in when I shouldn't have, there were times where I should have trusted where I didn't; there were times that I spoke when I should have just stayed quiet. It just really shows my weaknesses and what areas I severely lack in. Although the retreat theme was Passion, I felt God speaking to me in a different way. I felt God was speaking to me about a time of quiet and of stillness, to really be still and quiet and listen.
Being a photographer, student, worship leader, and a small group leader, doesn't really give me much time. So my time with God easily gets pushed off to the side. Which is awful =/ I feel very convicted and sad that I have neglected the one thing that should be first and foremost. I have been so focused on taking care of everyone else that I have forgotten to take care of myself. So this is where I am. I know what I need to do.
Whoo, that was a loaded little post. Sorry about that ><
Alright! In addition to doing some worship while I was at retreat. I was in charge of doing all the video there (by myself). The night before the end of the retreat, I stayed up in the cafeteria until 5:30am editing the video so that it would be able to be shown at the Praising into the New Year. So here it is! Instead of calling it a SDE (same day edit), you could call it a SRE (same retreat edit), get it?! hahaha...

Hacked!
Over my vacation/break, I was hacked by someone...I don't know who, but I came back from my retreat with a text message stating that something was wrong with my website! I quickly called my webmaster Kevan and explained to him the situation. Since he was also on break, he did some quick magic and got my website back but the blog was still down. I wanted him to enjoy his break so I told him to do it after =)
We are officially back! YAY! Thank you Kevan for being awesome and as always so helpful to me and my business. I couldn't do it without you.
