August 2013 \\ Columbus, Ohio \\ The love, laughter, smiles, tears and laughs of Michael and Emilie are beautiful. I hope you hear and feel them as you look through this post! Congratulations guys!
July, 2013 \\ Columbus, Ohio \\ “Beauty on the inside, that feeling… that knowing, is most important. Brides with such inner confidence and beauty, deserve a dress to match.” – my thesis statement for this editorial shoot \\ It was, without a doubt, a joy and honor to be part of such a talented group of people for this shoot. Through this editorial I hoped to express a portion of the beauty, grace and elegance of these hand crafted dresses By Ghinda.
AMAZING PROS INVOLVED \\ DRESSES – By Ghinda, Jen is the only dress maker in Ohio! Her gowns are beautiful… as you can see \\ MAKEUP – Beauty Marked By Kelli, amazing tailoring of the perfect makeup on any bride \\ MAKEUP – Bride Face, Nancy has an impeccable eye for quality and color \\ HEADPIECES – Maya’s Curls, Juliet hand crafts these amazing headpieces \\ MODELS – our beautiful models, Erin, Morgan, and Jennifer \\ PHOTOGRAPHY – Derk’s Works, Benjamin (I mean… I just would have felt left out if I didn’t link to myself too…)
Congratulations Andy & bride, these are lovely indeed. Assuming the sanctuary trees are to be planted by your home…I whole heatedly approve:) Many of the black/white shots are uniquely beautiful, particularly the double exposed surprise.
These two girls are not only awesome to hang out with and extremely talented artists but they also pour their complete heart and soul into their work, clients, and craft. Their business, All Together Now, is a creative, fun, and personal event designing and party planning idea factory! They’ll help you think through all the details, stay on top of your vendor relationships, organize your timetable, to-do list and probably even your sock drawer. Lindsay (left) has a design background and will give you the most beautiful version of what you’ve asked for. Marti (right) is a big picture idea generator paired with a background in production, making her your perfect ally in getting things done. Together they’ll rock the house and give you the gift of enjoying your party as much as your guests.
To my friends who like parties, are getting married, or need some festive ideas these two are your perfect answer. To my professional friends, colleagues, and contemporaries, I encourage you to get to know these guys. The collaborative potential of working with people who love their work as much as these two, will result in an unstoppable party.
To anyone who wants to meet Marti and Lindsay and see a little more of their style (and I know that’s all of you…), you should check out Make My Day. Hosted by All Together Now, it is going to be the best, most fun, awesome-est, and all out inspiring wedding show in all of Ohio.

June 2013 \\ Toledo + Gibsonburg, Ohio \\ An amazingly beautiful, genuine, joyful, and passionate couple. It was my joy to be part of their engagement as well as their wedding!
(sometimes a “First Glance” isn’t a glance at all… sometimes it’s connecting heart to heart before the wedding.)
This year marked the premere of Yellowood‘s Ax Camp. An invitation only camp out, where skills are put to the test and the soul’s inner adventurer can roam free. We didn’t just randomly “chop down a tree” (though that is awesome too), we went to a place where new friendships were formed from the shared experience of exhaustion, exploration, and basic living. We “tended the soil” and had a blast in the process! Everyone went home with a nickname, awards were given, and we were all filled with the joy and gratitude of being a part of the inspiring Yellowood legacy. -benj
