For the fall/winter issue of The Knot Magazine Ohio issue we had a wedding from May 2008 featured. We couldn’t be more excited to be published in a major magazine.
Here are the pages from the magazine or pick up your issue at most book stores….
We scanned them in so they look much nicer in the magazine, we recommend picking up this magazine for all brides to be, it has a lot of great information in it.

In the beginning of Jan. we shot Karen and Matt’s wedding in Chicago and due to the chilly weather they wanted to find a fun indoor location for their photos so they chose the ABT store and Matt just let me know that they made a blog post about it

One of our weddings that we photographed in May Robin and Danny’s will be featured in the upcoming Fall/Winter issue of The Knot Wedding Ohio Magazine, which will come out in the summer. But I just received an email today that some of the DIY details are featured on the editors blog. You can get to it by going to The Knot and following the link on that page or go to this link:

Real Wedding Photos – Creative DIY Wedding Ideas
Posted Tuesday, February 10, 2009 10:06 PM
DIY wedding ideas is such a hot topic on our message boards. From programs to place cards, cake toppers, and even cuff links (check out the red and white polka-dotted ones below!), there are so many elements that — with time and patience and a couple good friends — you can really do yourself. The gorgeous aqua and red wedding photos below (which we’ll be featuring in our regional The Knot Weddings Ohio magazine) is filled with amazing DIY ideas. Check them out!

Here’s what Robin says about her and Danny’s wedding in Chesterfield, Ohio…
“Our wedding style could be described as whimsical, homemade, rustic and cheery. We had repeating symbols of birds, branches and leaves. We also tried to use the apple farm reference in some of our décor (i.e. the cake flavor and red apple flavored jelly beans in our favors). Everything was very spring-y! We also wanted everything to be very “us” and for it to be fun for everyone. We decided early on that we were willing to bypass tradition in order for things to fit our style.
All of the flowers for the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and decorations were hand made. We made them out of cardstock, tissue paper and coffee filters that we water-colored. We got all of the ideas for flower patters from crafting sites online as well as from our own designs. The flower construction was really a huge group process. We had a lot of help from family and friends to make all of the flowers that we used for the wedding.
The reception building had a very rustic feel with dark wood walls and big windows. We had white tablecloths and red napkins, as well as aqua colored chair covers. Our centerpieces were tall round vases that had branches with little red crepe-paper flowers on them. They were meant to have the feel of the apple blossom branches, but also match our colors. We also put out little aqua votives on each table. The room had a big fireplace with a mantle so we decorated it with tissue paper flowers and the letters for “love” that I made out of pre-bought letters and fabric. We also hung up a display of family members’ weddings at the entrance. This project was especially fun, because in finding our parents’, grandparents’, aunts’ and uncles’ weddings we also got to see all of their wedding pictures and learned a lot about their own weddings.
At each setting we had little jars filled with red apple and vanilla flavored jellybeans. We chose them to go with the apple orchard feel. Each one was tied with an aqua ribbon and a note. The note thanked our guest for being so “sweet” and told them that we wanted to return the favor. It also instructed them to visit our candy bar, which was filled with aqua and red candies, as well as our personal favorites.”

Jill and Ryan you may remember got married in July and they met on campus, so it was only logical to have the campus play a part in their wedding day.
