In August 2022 I photographed a long-time friend’s wedding at Kamp-A-Lott campground in Bellefontaine Ohio. I have been camping at this campground situated an hour from Dayton and an hour from Columbus. The wedding guests I have known for years. The groom brought a 1933 Roadster vintage car which I used to create bas-ass vintage car wedding photos. This was my 223rd wedding and first at a campground. The images show a little bit of camp while elevating the location to create beautiful wedding photos.
In 2022 I was honored by Ohio Weddings magazine to be named one of the best wedding photographers in Ohio. Being a Dayton wedding photographer and being recognized in the “Best In Ohio Weddings 2022” is such an honor. Since 2007 I have been photographing weddings in Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, and beyond.
In September 2022 we took our first trip to Seattle Washington. Seattle was the most amazing city I have ever been to, and as a wedding photographer, it presented an incredible array of Seattle wedding photography locations. I have been a wedding photographer since 2007 and can’t imagine a better city in which to photograph a wedding.
On a rainy day in 2022 I photographed a fun couple’s wedding at Benham’s Grove, an outdoor wedding venue in Centerville Ohio. I assured the couple we would be able to knock out the formal photos and family photos before the rain took over. With only about one minute to spare, all photos were done and everyone made it inside. The photos turned out great, and these were by far the best Benham’s Grove wedding photos I have ever taken.
My first wedding of 2022 was for a really nice couple who married at Richmond Indiana’s Fourth Floor Blues Club. This club is only accessible by going up an old freight elevator to the fourth floor of an old factory. Upon exiting the elevator, you are greeted with a beautiful open floor plan, brick walls, and tons of natural light. This is where this Richmond Indiana wedding took place. On the other side of the wall is a huge blues club with a full bar and seating for 100+ guests. This wedding was great, and the venue was stellar. Although I am a wedding photographer in Dayton Ohio, I travel to Richmond Indiana for weddings.

Generally, an eight-hour wedding timeline gives your photographer plenty of time to capture all the details and activities of your day. Additionally, it provides a buffer in […]
“Excellent photographer and very professional!!” This is the kind of review every photographer lives for. This couple braved a cold day at Dayton’s busiest MetroPark to create some fun portraits. They were a beautiful couple whose outfits were absolutely perfect for the cold park setting. In addition to their fall color outfits, they changed into matching “just married” t-shirts. I gave them mad props for braving the cold with long sleeves and even bigger props when they walked around in their short sleeves. My photography skills in addition to my knowledge of the park allowed me to quickly create beautiful and timeless portraits. If you see this Schiquetta – Thanks being a great couple to photograph.
These two grooms made my 215th wedding as a wedding photographer in Dayton Ohio so great. I have photographed several LGBTQ weddings in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus, but this was my first wedding with two grooms. We had a great 30 minute portrait session at sunset on a golf course in 30 degree temperatures. They were so great following my subtle directions and even had ideas of their own. I love photographing LGBTW weddings in Dayton, LGBTQ weddings in Cincinnati, and LGBTQ weddings in Columbus. Love is love!!
The awesome floral artists at Beavercreek Florist in Beavercreek Ohio put up one heck of a beautiful display of floral arrangements at my Dayton Arcade wedding in October 2021. The flowers were impeccable both on the tables and in the bouquets. They complemented the beauty of the Dayton Arcade. I love being a Dayton wedding photographer who has photographed Dayton Arcade weddings.
In 2022 I began surprising wedding couples with a 2-5 minute wedding highlight video. The video below is from a fun wedding at Tipp City’s barn-themed wedding venue, The Willow Tree. It shows the personalities of the bride and groom as well as some aspects of this historic property. I love that this couple wanted an American Gothic style photo in front of the house.
