Okay, so actually no sweet talking was involved, but they were kind enough to brave the cold! Charity & Jason have been married 14 years (right, guys?) but had no problem at all acting as if they were newly in love... I'm pretty sure no acting was required for them. <br /><br />This session was set up for a little practice shoot with my super awesome interns, Lane & Michelle... Stay tuned for a post in the upcoming weeks to learn more about who they are & see a little bit of their work! <br /><br />Here's a few from my POV during our quick time in the bitter cold... Thanks again, C&J for being such troopers!<br /><br /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_4919.jpg" />Charity = Hot.

It was so great to get to see him & we had to (of course) go outside to take a few shots. It was COLD (note the snow) so we were only out for about 10 minutes, but was fun none the less!<br /><br />Trevor & I have been friends over 10 years now (We're getting old, Trev!) and I'm so proud of his hard work in Hollywood! I'm used to seeing him with long hair, so it's still weird for me to get used to the short 'do, but he recently had to cut it off for a movie he was working on. (He is Paul Bettany's stand-in in the upcoming movie, Priest, which finished production right before he came here to visit). I talked to him yesterday & he was on the set of some other movie that's in production with Steve Carell. It's always fun to hear the scoop from an "insider" on so many of my favorite tv shows & movies that he has been on! What an awesome job to have!<br /><br />Anyways, here's just a couple from our 10 minutes outside in the cold! Can't wait to do a REAL shoot eventually with him... Preferably in LA! :) (Ah... beach!<br /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_0220-1.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_0249.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_0262.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_0327.jpg" />Amanda Donaho Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675182040064800554noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762750644714268976.post-65193845119599519202010-01-06T07:34:00.000-08:002010-01-06T19:57:10.858-08:00Carrie & Colin - Engagement Session - Claremore, OklahomaI hope everyone had a great Christmas & New Years! I enjoyed allowing myself a few weeks of NO work (...and no blogging :) and had a great time celebrating the holidays with my family & friends.<br /><br />We spend Christmas in Oklahoma with Hayden's family this year & I was able to squeeze in a quick engagement shoot for his cousin, Carrie, and her fiance, Colin.<br /><br />For some reason, Oklahoma HATES me! This is my second back-to-back trip down that has had absolutely HORRIFIC weather! My last trip was specifically to do photo shoots, and some had to be moved around or canceled all together because roads were flooded, etc. This time around there was a straight up BLIZZARD. Oklahoma "blizzards" aren't a bunch of snow (like it would be here in Cincinnati) - it starts off with freezing rain which puts a good 2 inches (at least) of ice on the ground, and then the snow starts. This session went down during the freezing rain portion - It was FREEZING cold, with the craziest wind ever. I literally had to hold on to things or I would have blown away.<br /><br />I can honestly say this was hands down the worst weather I've ever shot in, and I'm SO proud of Colin & Carrie for being such troopers in that craptastic weather. We turned this into a mini-session & made the best out of it! Guys, I'm hoping OK is much nicer to me in August for your wedding :)<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/CC22.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/CC03.jpg" /></p><p>Who knew freezing cold look so good?!

Thank you.This year has been more amazing than I could imagine. I moved back to the Cincinnati area in July of '08, and after not living here for a number of years I was nervous about "starting from scratch" with a new area & my photography business. Tulsa had been good to me and I was hesitant to leave that great <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">referral</span> base. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.<br /><br />I should have known. The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tri</span>-State area houses amazing people.<br /><br />I am SO <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">grateful</span> for each and every one of my clients from this year. YOU are the reason this year has been so great, and the reason I am so excited about years to come. The "word of mouth" business that I have received from each of you literally makes me choke up, and I'm just so honored that not only would you trust me in capturing one of the most important days of your life, but that you would tell your friends to do the same. <br /><br />From the bottom of my heart... Thank you. (...I'm totally crying. Good Lord, I'm a sap.)<br /><br />A VERY special thank you to my wedding clients whom I've spent the most time with over emails, coffee, engagement sessions & wedding days. Here's to you.<br /><br />....................................<br /><br />The very first couple I met with when I moved back to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cincy</span> was Britni & Petey. Oddly enough, they also ended up being my first wedding of 2009. They had a beautiful January wedding in Dayton which I had so much fun shooting. Since then, I have also photographed their maternity photos (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">YAH</span>!) and soon will be photographing their brand new baby girl, Daisy! ...and a big congrats that it's ALMOST your one year anniversary! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Horray</span>!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/1britnipetey.jpg" />Carolyn & Aaron are such a REAL couple. From our first meeting I felt completely relaxed with them because they are such down to earth people. Their Dayton wedding was in May, and was the perfect wedding to start my busy wedding season with.... A great bridal party (complete with Aaron's hilarious brothers) and an awesome couple. You guys just plain rock.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/2carolynaaron.jpg" /><br />Oh, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kaliegh</span> & Jason! I still believe <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kaleigh</span> picked their wedding location just for ME :) This was SUCH a gorgeous wedding. Holy cow. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kaleigh</span> was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ridiculously</span> beautiful & matched her vintage location (<a href="http://www.historiclandmarks.org/HistoricSitesToursEvents/Veraestau/Pages/default.aspx"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Veraestau</span></a>) perfectly. I have really (really!) enjoyed getting to know both <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kaleigh</span> & Jason better, and am SUPER stoked that they're expecting! Expect more <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appearances</span> on the blog from this little family in the Spring... and one of their bridesmaids wedding, next year!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/3kaleighjason.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/3kaleighjason.jpg" /></a>Funky & super fun. That sums up Dawn & Josh.</div><div>Dawn also works in the wedding industry & went above & beyond with her wedding. It was AWESOME. Super creative details, bright bold colors, a beautiful couple, and the whole thing went down in an old <a href="http://www.leapinlizardgallery.com/">church converted to an art gallery</a>. Check & Mark. Fabulous. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/4dawnjosh.jpg" />Amy & Tom... Okay, Amy & HOBBS (as his groomsmen chuckled when I called him anything but) had a perfectly romantic wedding in Dayton. Amy looked like a princess and Tom was glad to be her prince. They're an adorable couple and had the perfect day.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/5amyhobbs.jpg" />Tracey & Jason are such gentle spirits... They ooze genuine care & concern for others, and are head over heals in love. No really... It was intense! Each couple has a particular thing that I always remember about their day... For them, it was the look in their eyes as they read their vows to each other. I've never seen anything like it. Just beautiful.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/6traceyjason.jpg" /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mailynn</span> & Jeff are awesome. They're so awesome that they've subjected themselves to my crazy methods 3 times now (engagement session, wedding day, and trash the dress session...the photo on the left is from that session!) and have sent 2 or 3 couples to me who's weddings I'll be shooting next year. I've started to loose count. They're awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love you guys :)<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/7mailynnjeff.jpg" /></div><div><div> I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">loooooved</span> Autumn & Jeff's wedding day. Almost as much as I love them as a couple :) It was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">absolutely</span> gorgeous, totally relaxed, and again at a beautiful location. Jeff is a sweet, gentle man and Autumn is a sweet, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">feisty</span> (she's a police officer!), STUNNING woman. They're a PERFECT match for each other & I'm so so glad they found each other. (Speaking of, remember <a href="http://donahophotography.blogspot.com/2009/10/p-family.html">THIS</a> post? <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kinni</span> is responsible for hooking them up! Way to go, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kinni</span>!!)<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/8autumnjeff.jpg" />Cara & Casey's wedding was a weekend adventure for me in the great state of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Wisconsin</span>. (I've since told Hayden that we should move someday to Lake Geneva, the area that they got married in, because I loved it so much!) Cara was a bridesmaid in a 2008 wedding & I was super pumped when she contacted me about shooting hers. I can't tell you how much I loved shooting this wedding. I stayed at a beautiful resort with them, was seated with their families during the reception, & laughed SO much with the whole bridal party. They treated me like family, and I am forever <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">grateful</span> to them for such a wonderful time. I love you guys! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/9caracasey.jpg" />Luke is the brother of my best friend, and Michelle was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed last year. Making the trip to Boston for their wedding was a no <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">brainer</span>. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Michelle is THE sweetest woman I've ever met. There are a LOT of contenders out there, but she takes the cake. After meeting her parents, I understand why. I love both of these families so very much & was so honored to share in this wedding weekend with them.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/10michelleluke.jpg" /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jeremey</span> is an old friend of mine from back in "the day".... I hadn't seen him for about 7 years until the day before his wedding. I was nervous to meet his bride to be, Michelle, because she pretty much needed to be perfect to be good enough for my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">extraordinary</span> friend. Luckily, she was. Michelle & <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jeremey</span> tied the knot in Michigan on August 1st.... and are living happily ever after :)<a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/11michellejeremey.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/11michellejeremey.jpg" /></a>Kathleen & Luke might be one of the worlds most attractive couples. Seriously. Brad & Angelina who? Shooting these two during their engagement sessions & wedding day was a breeze and (drum roll) I know their MATERNITY photos will be too! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_25" class="blsp-spelling-error">SOOO</span> excited about your new news & can not wait to see how adorable Kathleen is pregnant!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/12kathleenluke.jpg" />SO. MUCH. FUN. That pretty much sums up Stacey & Sam. They love to laugh, really enjoy life, and most importantly are totally in love. My favorite memory from their wedding day was the look on Sam's face when Stacey walked down the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_26" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">aisle</span>. Wow. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these two!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/13staceysam.jpg" />I love love love Natalie & Adam. I teared up more times at this wedding than I can count. It was a day overflowing with emotions and was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_27" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">absolutely</span> perfect. The perfect couple, perfect families, perfect weather. Perfect. ....and they're beautiful to boot :)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/14natalieadam.jpg" />I remember writing on Kristen & Sam's blog that Kristen is like a breath of fresh air. Really, they both are. I had so so much fun with them during both their engagement session & wedding day & really hope we have the chance to shoot again someday. They have infectious laughs & know how to kick back & enjoy life. <br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/15kristensam.jpg" /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_28" class="blsp-spelling-error">Christy</span> & Jason had a GORGEOUS October wedding. It was simple, classy, and stunning. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_29" class="blsp-spelling-error">Christy</span> spent so much time on the details & it showed.... Such an elegant day with a vintage twist, and I loved everything about it and them.<br /><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/16christyjason.jpg" />Jessica is my sister-from-another-mother's sister in law. Confused? Basically, Jessica is my new family. :) I was beyond honored when she, a fellow photographer, asked me to photograph her wedding day. Jessica & Daniel are cute beyond words and had a beautiful fall wedding in northern Indiana. Again, another wedding with a fantastic bridal party & families. I love my job.<br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/17jessicadaniel.jpg" />Deeann & Loyd were the winners of this years Wedding Giveaway that I did and I'm the one who got lucky! I met such amazing people, photographed beautiful details, and had an absolute blast. They opted to do a Day-After session since the sun was down by the time they saw each other during the ceremony, and I'm SO glad they did. These shots were from that day....<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/18deeannloyd.jpg" />Finally, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_30" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> & Steven. I just posted about them last night, but I shall say again how blessed I am to have met them. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_31" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> is so so so sweet and compassionate and she & Steven make the perfect couple (I forgot to mention their wedding date marked 10 years of them being together! That's so awesome!) Thank you for making my last wedding of '09 so memorable!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 513px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/19yeyinsteven.jpg" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Amanda Donaho Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675182040064800554noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762750644714268976.post-53258615450586115072009-12-14T19:39:00.000-08:002009-12-14T20:28:01.765-08:00Yeyin & Steven - Wedding Day! - Cincinnati Wedding Photographer<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> & Steven's wedding wrapped up my 2009 season with a bang. I've been looking forward to their wedding day for quite some time now, and it did not disappoint!<br /><br />They live in Chicago, so <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> & I first "met" via email. After the first 2 or 3 emails, I knew I we'd be fast friends. She has the sweetest personality and is so much fun. Why, Oh WHY must you live in the windy city, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span>?! :) Although <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> & I had the opportunity to meet up twice in person before the wedding, I didn't get to meet Steven until I walked into his hotel room that morning. What a nice guy. Really. I was so happy to see that my new friend <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> had such a fantastic new husband-to-be. <br /><br />The couple along with their bridal party, got ready at the <a href="http://www.cincinnatihilton.com/">Hilton</a> in Downtown Cincinnati.....<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 516px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/Untitled-1-17.jpg" /><br /> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> & her sister, April, are such beauties.... and I wanted to steal April's awesome dress. <br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8485.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8493.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8425.jpg" /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span> & Steven decided to see each other before the ceremony, so we were able to shoot around a little downtown & at <a href="http://www.aultparkac.org/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ault</span> Park</a> before the ceremony.</p><p><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeyin</span>, I hope you realize how gorgeous you are.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8544-2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8656.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/pickme.jpg" />While I was getting funky with the above shot, my sweet friend <a href="http://www.varlandphotography.com/blog/">Annie</a> who assisted as my second shooter for the day took it wide to capture the shot below.

The number of which they catch in the skirt represent how many children they'll have! :) It was fun to watch their pile grow HUGE (I didn't count, but there were <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">ALOT</span>!)<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_9507.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_9524.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_9544.jpg" />As you can see, everyone had a blast watching the ceremony!

Franklin, TNDeeann & Loyd were the winners of my wedding giveaway this year, and I am SO happy that I chose them. I went to the Nashville area this last weekend for their wedding & was wowed by the beautiful details that Deeann spent so much time on to make this wedding exactly what she wanted. She is an artist, so I knew it would be amazing, but WOW.... it was totally my style and just gorgeous.<br /><br />The ceremony & reception were held at their church, <a href="http://www.journeyfranklin.com/">Journey</a>, which is in <a href="http://www.factoryatfranklin.com/">The Factory at Franklin</a> (which is amazing). As I mentioned, Deeann is an artist & created this awesome old door/window combo which hangs along the back of the church (you'll see it lots further down)... Anyways, I took the liberty to writing their <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">initials</span> in the dirt :) <br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6607.jpg" /><br />She & her bridesmaids carried <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">lanterns</span> instead of flowers... Everything had a unique touch. This necklace was made by her maid of honor, Tally, and features a flower <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">piece</span> from Deeann's grandmother.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 522px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/lanternnecklace.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6883-2.jpg" />I love the "first look" with the bride's mom when she first sees her daughter as a bride....<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 600px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6922.jpg" />One of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">flowergirls</span> was coloring this picture of a princess, which I found all to appropriate for this wedding day.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6730.jpg" />Speaking of flower girls, I found another one later on like this.... (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sidenote</span>: She found this & started playing all on her own... She's 2, adorable, and has amazing <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">musicians</span> for parents, so no doubt this picture is just speaking to her future :)<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7523.jpg" />Deeann, you were a breathtaking bride.

It's always a guessing game when you walk into a kid photo shoot, as each child is SOOO different. Mary & AJ were just adorable. They have the most stunning big beautiful eyes & look like little porcelain dolls. They're also VERY fast. And they like to run in opposite directions. :) Good thing their mom didn't mind me doing a little bribery... I hope they didn't eat ALL the chocolate when they got home, Yvonne! :) Sorry! :)<br /><br />Anyways, they're just adorable.

You guys are awesome!)<br /><br />These sleek leather albums come delivered to you in a beautiful canvas bags, like the one shown here:<br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6037.jpg" />Below is the 10x10 album in White with the 4x4 mini-album in Black.</p><p>The mini-albums are exact replicas of your main album, and are perfect to toss in your purse & show off to your friends!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6035.jpg" /></p>These albums have super soft, plush leather. By far the best quality leather I have seen in a wedding album. The pages are thick and lay flat.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5902-1.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5905.jpg" />The 4x4 albums are NEW and adorable!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_6005.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5926.jpg" />Leather color options!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 467px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5987.jpg" />Next up, album design.<br /><br />My favorite thing about these albums is the ability to design them in "spreads" verses "pages". Basically, you'll open your 10x10 album to see a large 10x20 panoramic spread. The fold where the pages are bound is so well done that it's hardly noticeable, which allows nice BIG images! I am ALL for clean, simple albums that showcase your wedding photos and don't get too busy with extra "stuff". That's also why I like the simple design of these albums. You do NOT want your album to be "out of style" 10 or 20 years from now. These clean, modern, and TIMELESS albums won't be caught on a What Not to Wear episode.<br /><br />Here are a few spreads from a recent album design:<br /><br />(You'll notice some spreads have a few images, some several images, and some just one big image!)<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/klspread_01.jpg" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/klspread_10.jpg" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/klspread_03.jpg" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/klspread_15.jpg" /><br /><div>I offer albums in a variety of sizes including: </div><div>12x12 </div><div>10x10</div><div>8x8 (the perfect size for parent albums!!)</div><div>4x4</div>Amanda Donaho Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675182040064800554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762750644714268976.post-37903612655609531952009-11-13T09:47:00.000-08:002009-11-13T10:02:07.263-08:00Jessica & Eric - Engagement - Cincinnati Wedding Photographer2 posts in one day... again!

Continuing on with that is the beautiful Ariana. <br /><br />I had SUCH a great time cruising around with Ariana during this session and getting to know about her. She is the kind of girl that I know I would have hung out with in high school. She spends a large amount of her time volunteering and giving back to her community and is wise beyond her years. <br /><br />On to the sneak peek!<br /> <img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5359.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5383.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5425-2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_5485-2.jpg" border="0" />We also did a few shots in Borders....

People having a good time. Enjoying themselves. Enjoying each other. Enjoying life. <br /><br />I had 3 shoots last weekend, and all 3 featured gals with the most beautiful smiles. Darci is first up. She & Andrew have been sweethearts for many many years, and first met in the 5th grade. All of these years later, she still giggles like a school girl around him.

I'm determined to not overwork myself this winter, so I'll only be scheduling a few more sessions for the end of November & December.<br /><br />...and because every post is better with a few pictures, here's one of the adorable Keaton from her shoot a few weeks back...

I cruised a little over 4 hours north into the corn fields of Indiana to Winona Lake. It's a beautiful little town, which is especially charming in the fall. The fall themed wedding that Jessica & Daniel had was perfect down to every detail, and as fall is my favorite season, I absolutely loved it!<br /><br />On to the sneak peek!<br />Starting with some detail shots....

Daniel has lived in Germany his entire life before coming to Indiana for college. His family came from Germany for the wedding and brought with them the most delish chocolate I've had since my trip to Scotland a few years back. Tonight I cracked open the bottle of blackberry wine they gave me along with the German chocolate as I worked on this blog. Mmmmm.... Thank you Manduka family! :)<br /><div><div><div><div><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_4757.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_4757.jpg" border="0" /></a> Jess & Daniel - You're fantastic.

Woo-hoo! I'm slowly catching up!<br /><br />Ashley & Chris are ridiculously adorable as you're about to see. They live in Colorado, so I was super excited when they flew down for their engagement session. We shot around the <a href="http://www.miami.muohio.edu/">Miami of Ohio</a> campus, which is where Ashley attended, and where she & Chris first met. We hit some memorable spots for them that they hadn't been to in awhile & it was so much fun! I can't wait for their wedding next year!<br /><br />Enjoy the sneak peek:<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_2870.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_2903-2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_2921.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_3019.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_3042.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_3093.jpg" border="0" />Amanda Donaho Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675182040064800554noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762750644714268976.post-84554661384011154522009-10-28T15:46:00.000-07:002009-10-28T15:52:08.524-07:00Eden & Ava - Sisterly LoveAs I mentioned in my last post, I am BEHIND, so thank you for your patience & bearing with me as I play catch up this week. For that reason, the next few blog posts will be shorter than normal...

These are the place seating cards.... Christy worked so hard finding the little "gems" for each card & making them into magnets so the guests could take them home.

Let me just say, if anyone reading this blog has connections in the acting and/or modeling world, please hook this girl up. She needs a manager. Seriously.

Not a super exciting drive, but I was smiling most of the way. I noticed during that drive north that the trees on the side of the highway were more colorful than the day before. I knew that Kristen & Sam were having a fall themed wedding, and it made my heart happy to see that they timed the day JUST right. The trees had the most colorful leaves that had not yet fallen. Perfection.<br /><br />Kristen & Sam are such a FUN couple. You can't spend time around them without laughing alot. I heard more than one person say during their wedding day that Kristen is like a fresh breath of air. This couldn't be more true. Her genuine spirit & contagious joy is beautiful & reflects into beautiful photos. Sam is SO in love with his bride & it shows.... such a sweet guy.<br /><br />On to the sneak peek!<br /><br />First off, for those of you who read my blog who aren't from Ohio... THIS is Tipp City!

Seriously. They were so adorable their entire shoot and incredibly easy to photograph. My favorite thing to see is a couple interacting in front of me as though I'm not there... When you forget there's a camera on you, that's when you get the best shots. Fortunately, they caught on to this concept quickly & we had a great time!<br /><br />Here are a few of my favorites for their sneek peak...<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8038.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8097-2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8185-2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8252.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8288.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_8311.jpg" border="0" />I had so much fun with you both & can't wait until your wedding next year!Amanda Donaho Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675182040064800554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762750644714268976.post-73458962196714619572009-10-05T13:54:00.000-07:002009-10-05T14:03:50.197-07:00Emily Senior Session - Cincinnati Senior Photographer4 blog posts in 2 days! I love checking things off my list!<br /><br />I had the privilege of photographing my gorgeous sister's senior photos recently! It blows my mind that she's about to graduate high school (and makes me feel ancient)... We met up in Loveland where she has taken piano lessens since she was a little girl, and had fun checking out different locations around there to shoot. This was my first time shooting in Loveland & I really loved it! Such a cute quaint town!<br /><br />On to the photos...<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7589.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7635.jpg" border="0" />Hello blue eyes!<img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7693.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7704.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7804.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7773.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7844-3.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7897.jpg" border="0" />Amanda Donaho Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675182040064800554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762750644714268976.post-87185282021944719852009-10-05T10:52:00.000-07:002009-10-05T11:09:07.456-07:00New Arrival - Baby HaydenYou may remember a post a few weeks back of Abigail and Mitchell and I mentioned to stay tuned, as they were expecting a new sibling. Well, HE (we're all shocked!) arrived last week and I couldn't wait to get my hands on him! :) His name is Hayden (such an awesome name!) and he is soooo sweet. He is a chilled little man that has already learned to sleep through his big brother & sisters loud play times :)<br /><br />First, a quick shot of the new & improved "W" kiddos...<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7399-2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7434.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7467-3.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 700px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 467px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7451.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/amandadonaho/IMG_7508-2.jpg" border="0" />Congrats, Steve & Amy!
