Dear Lauren & Ryan...
Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 2:15 PM When we met in the Spring, and did your engagement session, I completely fell in love with you both. I knew right away, just be seeing how great the two of you were together, that your wedding day was going to be wonderful.
I was wrong.
"Wonderful" does not adequately describe how utterly fantastic your wedding was. It was beatuiful, amazing, incredible, marvelous, extraordinary... all of those words times infinity! And I'm not just talking about the dress, or the flowers, the amazing venue, the delicious food, or the rocking DJ... No.
What made your wedding so awesome was bearing witness to all of the love shared between the two of you, and your friends and family. I love hearing the story of how you both met... when college-aged Ryan stayed at your house while visiting your high school band...how the two of you stayed in touch over the years; how your family and friends watched as the friendship you formed blossomed into love; and how, on this day, you both dedicated your lives to one another for eternity.
Nothing is more beautiful than that, and I am thankful that I was able to share this day with you.
Below are a few of my favorite photos of the day, followed by a slideshow. Enjoy!
a familiar album cover, perhaps?
I couldn't get enough of these two cuties...
And my 2nd shooter, Jenny Beck, NAILED this image... (thanks Jenny!!!)
The reception was at Creekside Conference and Event Center, in Gahanna, OH.... gorgeous facility....so incredible...
Not sure why...I LOVE to take pictures of people taking pictures....
Now for the slideshow...

Chantal!!! Oh my gosh! These are so great!! Ryan and I are so pleased, and we can't wait to see all of the pictures on pictage. How will we ever choose for our album??? You're amazing, really :o) Thank you so much!
These are amazing pictures. I've watched the slide show twice and both times it brought me to tears, not just because I am so happy for Lauren and Ryan, but because you and your assistant captured it all so magically.
I wish I would have had you at my wedding! Your imagery is phenomenal. The way you captured the couple, especially Lauren...it simply goes to show how much you got to know her. Every picture is just Laurenesque and Ryan easily brings it all out in her.
I was happy to meet you that evening and again, wonderful job on the photography.
Great job Chantal!!!!!!!!!
