Alison + Collin

Rain. That’s the thing about spring, early summer, or some random hour or Tuesday in the mid-west…you just never know when it’s coming or how long it will stay.  Luckily for myself and every photographer I know, that beautiful R-word likes to pop up during weddings.  Sense the sarcasm? Yes, it’s true…while we easily know how to shoot indoors, shooting outside in the sunlight is always ideal, and seriously luckily for me, I’ve never had to do otherwise.  At least during the bride and groom portraits (one day, having said that out loud will come back and bite me in the butt).  During Alison and Collin’s big day, it was no different 🙂 It poured most of the day, and as we were leaving the church to head out and do portraits, even I had my doubts as to if the big-R was going to let up.  The skies parted just in time and we were able to get some beautiful photos!!

I “met” Alison and Collin over the phone a year and a half ago when they were sent to me via a previous bride and groom (shout out to Ali + Dave!).  I got to officially meet them in person a few months later when I drove up to the University of Dayton, where they met and fell in love, to photograph their engagement session.  Having spent time with them on campus while they pointed out some of their favorite places, I loved hearing their friends and family talk about them on the day of the wedding, especially in reference to their new romance on campus at UD and some of the more funny stories (I won’t tell any stories here, but just know for a fact that the best man had us all cracking up during his speech :).

With the sweetest personalities, families, and love, I know Alison and Collin have an amazing future ahead of them.  I couldn’t be more happy for you guys…congrats!! XOXO

Alison and Collin didn’t want to do a first look, but they wanted to exchange letters <3

Remember those fun little GIFs I mentioned earlier this year?! I love this one of them dancing 🙂

It was raining when we left the church, so their exit bubbles were put to good use during their first dance!
