Dayton | Columbus | Cincinnati Wedding Photography

I met Lindsay through Whitney {see Ryan & Whitney Engagement}. Lindsay is such a beautiful, sweet person and I felt so honored to be part of her wedding day- it was my first wedding! I worked under another photographer, and it was a lot of fun to have the freedom to shoot “from the shadows.” Enjoy :] Location: Columbus, Ohio Date: April 25, 2009 .jpg "g_8 other")  .jpg "garter") .jpg "g_7")

Just in case it isn’t obvious, my husband is Active Duty Air Force. I’ve met some really awesome military families that have loved ones away for various reasons, and I understand the challenges of staying in touch while our children grow daily without Daddy or Mommy there. Even though we spoke often through web cams and I sent pictures frequently, my husband couldn’t believe how much Kevin {my son} had grown while he was in Afghanistan. I offer a complimentary session for families with deployed members or on extended TDY orders. Please contact me for more information at: andrea.dozier@yahoo.com Our friend, Jeremiah, is currently in Iraq. I had the chance to get some shots of his wife, Guadalupe, & their handsome son, Manny. Can’t wait to see the three of them together again! We had moved to Texas during our first anniversary and the cake never made it down. I really wanted to do a special top tier this year, and probably started a new tradition for us. I’m always game for any excuse to have dessert! It’s been a busy week so I just made a little homemade yellow cake with my fresh vanilla bean frosting {the icing resembles ice cream}. I made it for my son’s third birthday and fell in love with the flavor. I am always on the hunt for icing flavors that are elegant without being too sweet. You can find the simple one I use on my other blog {soon} at Military Spice. I didn’t have a lot of time on my hands this week so I made the gumpaste flower {inspired by my favorite headband} in the hotel room. I forgot scissors, so Rock had to save the day with his Leatherman {knife & wire cutters}. As a Biomedical Technician, he always has one somewhere! He is a good sous chef… Trust me, five years will go by very quickly! Savor every moment.
I love getting e-mails from Whitney about her wedding plans and ideas. She’s been coordinating so many details on her own and really doing her research, it’s going to be a fabulous day. Their wedding is set for Halloween and I can’t wait to capture their beautiful city wedding in Columbus! We had a lot of fun and they made my job really easy! I include engagement pictures in my package because I want to get to know the bride and groom. It gives them a chance to know what it’s like to work with me. A lot of men are a little camera shy, but I try to keep everything as natural as possible so that you don’t feel the pressure you think you will have. All they have to do is hang out with their future wife and I take care of the rest.
I adore doing vintage shots, but sometimes full color is just perfect.
Tonight I am officially launching this blog! I am so excited that I was able to customize it to complement my official website. I hope you enjoy my work and come back often to visit while this new chapter is written :] I thought it would only be appropriate to re-visit the pre-deployment pictures I took with my husband a year ago. They were taken the day before he left for his deployment to Afghanistan. It was shortly after our anniversary, and so I wanted to take them where we had our little wedding at Wegerzyn Gardens.
I would love to do more photo sessions in this style… seeing our men in uniform is just about as good as it gets! I ruined the dress by sitting on some dark berries in an attempt to immortalize the shoes I had painted. I think it was worth it. It was early September and a very unusually hot day. We laughed about having our winter coats on, but he was a good sport. This was the last shot, taken after we were “done” and our way to the car. We were anxious to get back to our son, but I’m glad this one was taken. My mother-in-law took this at Rock’s basic training graduation four years ago. When he was deployed I turned it into a vintage portrait. I didn’t mind looking at his face on pictures since they were all I had. It’s part of the reason I am so obsessed with taking pictures! I understand their value. ♫
