Andrea Dozier Dayton Wedding & Lifestyle Photography

I am contemplating re-naming this blog to Andrea Dozier: Previews.

It seems that is all you are getting lately! With a rush of warm, beautiful weather, I’ve had to overlap several sessions into a short amount of time that had previously been rained out. I’ve also continued to work with some gorgeous brides & can’t wait to continue sharing in full what I’ve been up to. I love being able to shoot so much more, {even though I’ve somewhat abandoned this blog}. I am excited that I am doing my favorite part of my wedding photography job- working with happy couples & capturing genuine dreamy moments.

Many of you follow my work on Facebook and have been able to see these previews first.

This is an engagement session in Troy, Ohio with a couple who loves their pups & loves to go fishing:

This wedding was also in Troy, Ohio, with the wedding & reception held at the lovely & historic Troy Hayner Cultural Center.

Finally, even though I have not been able to continue to do family & baby sessions, I have made a couple exceptions lately. Here is one of baby Adalay who’s mama was the first person I ever photographed as a “job.” She saw something in my personal work & design projects that I didn’t see… I’m so grateful for people like her who encouraged me to do what I am doing now!

Our little house is also coming along and also sports a fresh coat of paint. It just seems that spring has been full of growth & change. Two things I welcome wholeheartedly. ♥

P.S. After a very busy month, I am taking tomorrow off to hang out with my family at the Troy Strawberry Festival. Will I see you there?!

Thanks for coming back.

Seriously.

If you just visited recently, a window may have appeared on your computer warning you against my site. {Hacked. Boo.}

Or you may have realized that I had not posted anything new. For a long time. {See above ^ hacker situation.}

The fact that you have come means the world to me & I feel grateful for friends who follow my work.

Here’s a little preview of Brad & Alisa’s beautiful wedding at the Brookside Golf And Country Club in Dublin, Ohio:

It was so fun to shoot with my friend Caitlin, of Simply Photography. Thanks for letting me assist you, can’t wait to work together again!

We spent the last two weeks visiting my family while my husband gutted & rebuilt our bathroom. It has been a much anticipated project & I am actually thankful for the drywall dust that has covered our home. It signals progress & a new chapter.
I am so delighted to shop for all the little bathroom accessories that will make it feel like ours.

You have a lovely day too! ♥

I am really excited to share Stephen & Autumn’s wedding story with you today! It’s amazing how they lived several states away and didn’t meet until they both lived in a foreign country. They fell in love while serving as missionaries in beautiful Haiti.

Autumn took a risk by having her wedding in March, but the weather was kind & unusually gorgeous for Ohio. I love working with my favorite makeup artist Ruby Randall & hair stylist Amy Barger. It’s pretty much the wedding dream team that a bride could have. I’ve known both of them for many years & it’s always very fun to work with them at weddings.

Explaining how to dive into the dress…

Loved the “wrap” they used to cover her dress while touching up Autumn’s make-up!

All ready to go now…

I love the way they look at each other ♥

I love when grooms sing to their moms. When I photograph weddings I imagine what it will be like to dance with my sons someday a LONG time from now I hope.

It’s inspiring when you “meet” the couple who’s been married the longest. They were so cute!

Wishing you both all the best, huge hugs go out to Haiti for you both! ♥
