Columbus Wedding Photography // Jim and Bonnie // Cleveland Courthouse

Paper17 Comments

NIGHT COURT MAGIC WITHOUT HARRY T. STONE

CH: We headed up to Cleveland recently for Jim and Bonnie’s wedding. They picked a gorgeous setting for an evening wedding at the Old Courthouse near the lakefront. Tall ceilings, pillars, and arches: the cornerstones of beautiful backgrounds. Plus even more architecture references.

ZK: BAAAAH NANANANAAAHHH….NAAAH NAAAH NAH

ZK: The architecture was impressive; I believe it was one of Ivo Shandor’s earlier constructions …no studying.

The caterers, A Taste of Excellence, prepared amazing food, and Jim and Bonnie selected a lot of nice details that transformed the empty courthouse into an elegant party space. Congratulations Garrisons; Everything was beautiful!

Columbus Engagement Session // Jim and Bonnie

Paper9 Comments

I SAY TOMATO, YOU SAY CLAMATO

ZK: With Jim and Bonnie’s wedding coming up in November, they decided to use this unseasonably nice weather for an engagement session shoot at some of their favorite spots around Columbus.

CH: Yeah, they definitely picked a great time for some outdoor scenery. They came to us with a great idea to get some pajama clad shots of them enjoying the morning on their porch in Clintonville, and then on to Schiller Park in German Village for some quality play time with Swenson.

Columbus Product Photography // Lea Gray Design by Paper Photographs

When I ran into Lea at Agora 8 a couple months ago, she started telling me about how she was giving up her day job to focus on her business full time. I always love hearing stuff like that; people taking the plunge to start making a living doing what they love to do. So she was going to need some product photography done for her online portfolio she was putting together and I told her of course we’d be happy to help out.

We scheduled two different shoots – one for the products themselves, and the other at the Park of Roses to get some lifestyle shots of people interacting with her work. Our models for the shoot, Kate and Lea herself, did a great job acting like rain wasn’t pouring into their eyes. Chris clocked the shoot time at a total of 8 minutes before the rain and strong winds forced us inside. We really wanted a softly lit, sunset look to the images, so we had to work some computer magic to turn that dark gray evening into a bright, golden sunset.

Note to all photographers out there: Always shoot RAW!

You can take a look at all of what Lea does on her website here at Lea Gray Design. Thanks for being an awesome client Lea, and best of luck on the new Lea Gray enterprise!
