McKenzie & Kyle | Maternity

abammerlin April 3, 2014

McKenzie, my brother-in-law’s younger sister, was the first senior I ever photographed! I was thrilled to have the chance to photograph her maternity session! We took pictures at an old farm down the street from my house, which has now been turned into a park! Anyone in the community can come and plant in the gardens and it’s just a wonderful place for photos! It was so much fun with McKenzie, Kyle, Kara, their dog Scruffy and even McKenzie’s mom Sue popped in a few photos! Thanks to all of them for being such good sports in the heat!

Jill & Nick | Wedding

These next few posts are all terribly late, I apologize! I photographed this wedding the Saturday before I left for a month long trip to Europe and since then I sure have slacked on updating the blog! I’ve known Jill for quite some time, since kindergarten I believe, so I was so happy when she asked me to photograph her wedding! It was such a lovely day, I met up with Jill at her sister’s house and took some photos there before we made our way to the church where I met up with Nick and the groomsmen. Isn’t Jill’s dress gorgeous? It was her mother’s wedding gown and Jill and her mother-in-law redesigned it together! Such an amazing idea! Also how beautiful is that church, those high ceilings and gorgeous stained glass windows were a dream to photograph. The reception took place at the McKinley Museum, and it was a really cool venue, with the dancing taking place in the lobby of the museum! It was such a fun night, no one wanted it to end, the guests even convinced the DJ to play a couple extra songs!

Jessalyn & Sam | Wedding

Weddings

A couple months ago I had the pleasure of photographing Jessalyn and Sam’s wedding! I met up with the girls getting ready at the hotel in downtown Massillon and snapped a few quick shots across the street. (How great is that building? There’s such great old architecture downtown!) We then hurried over to the Canton Garden Center for the ceremony. The setting was gorgeous, just in front of the small waterfall. We took photos in the park and then moved to the McKinley Monument which clearly is a popular spot for wedding photos! (There were at least three other couples there at the same time!) The reception was so lovely, Jessalyn made all of the gorgeous centerpieces and isn’t that butterfly cake stunning? Jessalyn and I were in choir together in high school and she always had the most beautiful voice, so it was such a treat when she sang Ingrid Michaelson’s “The Way I Am” to Sam! It was just such a fun time and Jessalyn and Sam are such an adorable couple, I’m so happy I was able to be apart of their day!
