Chelsea & Jim’s wedding | Columbus Ohio wedding photographer

Dianna — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:26:35 +0000

Before I photographed Chelsea & Jim’s wedding, I hadn’t set foot into the Ohio Union. I had no idea just how amazing that place was. After getting ready in the Green Room, Chelsea & Jim had a romantic “first sight” moment alone in Performance Hall (which I photographed, of course. Afterwards, we did some family formals in front of the fireplace, and took pictures with the wedding party in various areas around the Ohio Union. It has so many interesting elements to add to wedding pictures! After the ceremony, the bride & groom and wedding party took a driving route to Mirror Lake (and the amphitheater), and then the Ohio Stadium for more pictures. The reception was at the Clintonville Women’s Club.

I have to say that photographing their wedding was such a pleasure; they were such a fun couple. You can tell from the pictures.

Rachel & Tim’s wedding | Columbus Ohio wedding photographer

Dianna — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 16:34:38 +0000

It’s been a busy year for weddings! Rachel & Tim’s wedding was on Sunday, June 20, 2010 at the Brice United Methodist Church, and their reception was at the North Bank Park pavilion, Columbus Ohio. The one word to describe their wedding was “FUN”. Everyone had an amazing time at their reception, and some of the children even got soaked in the fountains. You have an excellent view of the Columbus skyline at North Bank Park, and when the sun starts to set, it gives everything a golden glow. It’s really a great place to host your wedding reception.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the event!

Tiffany & Jeremy’s wedding | Columbus Ohio wedding photographer

Dianna — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 05:22:20 +0000

Tiffany and Jeremy’s wedding was at the Parkview United Methodist Church, in Columbus OH, and their wedding reception was at the Bolton Field airport, on June 19, 2010. The weather was beautiful, we could not have asked for a nicer day. Tiffany and Jeremy both are artists, and when we first met, Tiffany said that she was looking for something unique and artistic in her wedding pictures. And when she told me that they would have her father’s airplane at the wedding reception, I knew we would create something special. So without further ado, here are some select pictures from their special day:

I’ve been really bad about updating the blog… be prepared for a blog update storm as I post some recent sessions here!

For Erin & Greg’s engagement pictures, we went to Franklin Park to get the creative juices flowing. They are getting married out east, and wanted some creative engagement pictures here in their hometown (Columbus). We had a lot of fun that day, check out some of the great shots we did:

Amanda & David’s Wedding – Jan 2, 2010 | Columbus Ohio Wedding Photographer

Dianna — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:20:47 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing Amanda & David’s wedding at the Pool of Bethesda, CLGI on January 2, 2010 … first wedding of the new year! What a wonderful way to begin the new year, with a wedding, full of promise and love. Their beautiful reception was held at the Embassy Suites Columbus Airport. We couldn’t go outside for pictures… too cold! But the hotel had a gorgeous interior, perfect for some fun creativity. Here are some of my favorite photos from their wedding day!

The balcony was decorated for winter at the hotel. Very pretty! I took this photo from the ground floor with a long lens… this was their send-off picture before they retreated to their room.

I love the fullness of Amanda’s dress, like a fairytale princess meeting her Prince Charming.

This was when they got into the limo to head off to the reception… it was bitter cold outside that day, they were troopers braving the weather even for the few minutes to get into the car.

This was take 1 of throwing the bouquet… the ladies were so excited to get it that there was a 3-way tie for the bouquet on the first toss. When I photograph the tossing of the bouquet, I always aim to get that perfect shot with the bouquet mid-air and an action shot of the ladies catching it.

Nikki & Javier’s engagement pictures | Columbus Ohio engagement photographer

Dianna — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:04:03 +0000

This fall has been crazy busy with photography… which is a good thing, but it’s bad as far as having the time to update my blog! I have so many wonderful sessions that I would love to post. If you are a blog subscriber, I apologize for the sudden influx in blog updates.

I had a lot of fun photographing Nikki & Javier’s engagement pictures. We started up at Inniswoods, but got rained out after a few minutes. So we rescheduled for later on in the week, and went over to Minerva Lake for a change of pace. I love Minerva Lake, it’s a very beautiful, small park.

This next one was just me being creative… our shoot was the week before Halloween, and it was very dark and overcast outside. So using my flash, I exposed for the sky and got a pretty creepy Halloweeny sort of shot that I think is fun.

Ok this next one was just them having fun! It makes me laugh when I look at it.

Mary-Rebekah and Ben’s Engagement Photos | Columbus Ohio wedding photographer

Dianna — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:33:37 +0000

I met up with Mary-Rebekah and Ben down at Goodale Park for their engagement pictures towards the end of October. It was my first time doing engagement pictures at Goodale Park, so it was a fun time for me to try out some creative stuff in a new location. The weather was fabulous! It does start to get dark early, and once the sun starts to go down, you lose light SO fast. This was the perfect time to do engagement pictures, because a week later, most of the leaves had fallen off the trees.

They’re getting married next July, and I’m very much looking forward to photographing their wedding!

We walked over to the Short North to do some more “urban” engagement pictures. Marcella’s is “their” restaurant (and they went there for some food after we were done with the photography session).

Emily & Kent’s Engagement Pictures | Columbus Ohio photographer

Dianna — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:02:36 +0000

I met up with Emily & Kent at Inniswoods for their engagement pictures… and I asked them, “Are you more interested in posing smiling for the camera, or are you more interested in artistic sorts of shots?” I was really ecstatic when they responded that they prefer more artistic pictures… those are the ones that I really enjoy doing (both during weddings and for engagements). It was a fantastic day for photography sessions at Inniswoods… you would not BELIEVE the number of photographers and clients who were also there. It was actually kind of hard to get pictures without people in the background.

I’m also photographing their wedding this next April. Should be a good time!

Patricia & Michael’s wedding | Columbus Ohio wedding photographer

Dianna — Fri, 08 May 2009 02:13:29 +0000

On April 25, 2009 I had the pleasure of witnessing and photographing Patricia & Michael’s wedding, which took place at First United Methodist Church in Newark, Ohio. It was a beautiful church with an awesome big window behind the altar. The reception was held at the Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, Ohio.

Click here to view the entire wedding gallery (Click the slideshow button to view them BIG).

Here are a few favorites:

That’s her grandmother, who at 87, flew all the way from the Philippines to be at her wedding (with her grandfather too). That’s a long way to fly at any age, let alone 87!

I was a bit amused because all the guests upon entering were all waiting in line to sign the guestbook! We were wondering where people were, and then found out they were all standing in line waiting to enter the church.

I was able to run up to the balcony to capture this wide angle shot of the wedding while the minister was giving a 5 minute speech. I really like how it shows everything.

One from the series of the bride & groom shots after the ceremony in the church’s courtyard.

A panorama from when we got to the golf course for a few quickie shots.

These guys were a riot! I have some fun photos of them dancing, too.

Patricia hugged the guest and their dresses stuck together… it took 2 more people to get them unstuck. All was well, the dresses were unharmed.

Someone came over to me and said “hey, there’s an awesome sunset out there!” So we went out and got some great sunset shots.

I love this shot of them dancing!

They had a lot of dancing going on! The couple on the left, they really knew how to move!

love this shot of Mike.

Ok it’s hard to pick out all the favorites, so look at them all on that link above.

Photographing Patricia & Michael’s wedding was so much fun, and it was so beautiful, you couldn’t ask for a better day. Best wishes to the happy couple!

If you happened upon my blog via a search engine and are looking for a photographer in the Columbus, Ohio area, you might want to go check out my main site which is at http://www.dgnphoto.net, where I have galleries & pricing information. And as always if you have any questions or would like to book a photography session, you can give me a call at 614-323-3147.

What kind of photography do I do? I am a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, but I would say I am primarily a portrait photographer and the majority of my clientele are people wanting family portraits, senior pictures, maternity & newborn photos, and children & baby portraiture. And then secondly I’m a wedding photographer, and I accept a limited number of weddings per year. Occasionally I wear a pet photographer hat, and I also do corporate & acting headshots. My studio is on Oak Street in Old Town East, in Columbus, Ohio (hours available by appointment only), but I split my time there and out on location shoots (parks and urban areas are my favorite!)
