Delaware, Ohio Photographer: Happy Holidays!!

I wanted to take a moment to wish all my clients from 2009 a Happy Holiday! I was taking a moment to reflect back on 2009 and realized that I had 30 special clients last year (half of which I think I worked with in the last 3 months!)! That just amazes me and makes me SO happy! I love you all for all you have done over the past year to help me grow my business exponentially. And to imagine that this is a part-time gig! I can only hope that 2010 is just as awesome as this past year.

I truly hope more weddings, families, puppies, and babies are in my photographing future!! Happy Holidays from the Harrington Family! See you next year!

Dayton, Ohio Wedding Photograper: Ashley & Sam Part II

And... now what you've been waiting for. The wedding ceremony!

Ashley was such a beautiful bride and her brother looked so proud walking her down the aisle.
Ashley and Sam were so cute during the ceremony, holding hands, giggling, and looking at each other. Awww...
I swear Ashley was just *beaming* throughout the whole ceremony!


Thanks to my super duper assistant/husband Adam for this shot from the balcony. .
You may kiss the bride...
So happy as they were heading off to their celebration.
Everyone packed into their "party bus" by Beats Feet. I loved the faux fireplace and their driver was so courteous and professional!
Before the reception, we were off to the Dayton Art Institute. I just LOVE the colors!
And someone (one of the girls) had this great idea! They were so cold they took the guys' jackets. I'm not sure which guy had the idea to hold the flowers though... too cute! ;) Sam just looks stunning in that shawl!
Time for some favorites!



The buffet was catered by Rob's and everything looked and tasted amazing! The alfredo and macaroni are the best! The cake was just gorgeous and delicious, by the way. From nowhere else, but the amazing ele'.
Kudos to Adam for this great capture. How precious is she?!
The lights and tunes were great! And not only does the DJ keep the party going, but he also break dances! This is one of my favorite reception photos of all-time with a little help once again from fisheye.
Parting shot! I love this pic of Ashley! She was getting wild with the Welch's Grape juice!
I wish you two the best and hopefully we'll have some more photos together in our future!

Dayton, Ohio Wedding Photographer: Ashley & Sam Part I

If you can remember waaayyy back to the early spring, I did a photo session with the "R" Family - seven kids, spouses/significant others, and dogs. Then, later I had an engagement session with Ashley and Sam. Well finally their big wedding day came! I feel like I've known them forever now! And I can't thank them both enough for being my biggest promoters and getting my business (specifically wedding business) going in the Dayton area. You two rock!

I was so honored to get to shoot their wedding today, and it was nice to see so many familiar faces (and a previous Harrington Bride - Leanne). I was just so excited about their winter wonderland pics that I just had to stay up late and work on a post. I couldn't have imagined better weather in December, especially after the below zero wind chills we had earlier this week. The day was perfect and everything and everyone was beautiful!

Here are some peeks at my favorites! Enjoy!

I loved Ashley's little snowflake jewelry and her pretty shoes.

Sam, the groom, and his best man/brother Eric.
The handsome groom.
The guys - what good sports with their "jazz hands." Sorry guys! Just had to post it!
The "posse."
Ashley was a gorgeous bride!! Love this pic. She had the great idea of getting a few shots at the Dayton Art Institute (more to come from there in Part II).
The girls doing their "My Space Pic" poses.
And this is one of my absolute favorites of the girls... the sun setting was just perfect with the light. They all look so happy despite the fact that they were all freezing! Thanks for being such good sports, girls!
Her bouquet was just beautiful and wintry.


I LOVE all the bling on her rings and his was just so shiny I could see my reflection (which was edited out). :)
And finally, it was time for the ceremony at Our Lady of Mercy Church.
Stay tuned for ceremony pics and the bride and groom!!

Storybook Albums: Mary and Kevin

Recently I have been designing my little heart out. You may also remember Mary & Kevin from their October wedding. I just finished designing their storybook album, too, and theirs is on its way! It should arrive any day! Enjoy!

I just loved all the pictures on their bridal party pages.

The last page is a fun one! Everyone looks so happy!
Thanks you two! I hope you enjoy your "goodie box" that's on its way!

Storybook Albums: Nicole and Allen

You may remember Nicole and Allen from a while back. They have all their wedding photos already, and they've patiently been waiting for me to design their storybook album. It is ordered and on its way! Here is a sneak peek for you two!

Enjoy!

The bride was just soooooo pretty.
I love all the shots of the girls, too.
Yay! They're married!
So sweet!
