Winslow and K2

Here are a few pictures from a portrait session Brad did last week. Brad always tries to get some standard smiling portraits, but he really looks to capture the moment and each child's personality.

Megan and Tony's Wedding by Kathy of Photosmith, Cincinnati Wedding Photography

Megan and Tony were married this past Saturday in an outside ceremony at Nathanael Greene Lodge. The forecast called for rain throughout the day, but that didn't let that stop them! When it was time to make the call whether or not to move the ceremony inside, Megan said they were going to go for it! Go big or go home, right? The rain held out for Megan's stroll down the aisle.

Have you ever seen a prettier bride?

It started to rain right as they were finishing up their vows. It didn't phase Megan and Tony at all. They were so focused on each other; it was ridiculously romantic!

I loved this bridal party. They were so awesome to work with!

LOVE.

Um, hello... they have swords. How rad is that?

Of course the swords were needed to slay the dragon, what else would they be for? What a rockin' gooms cake! LOVE IT! (By Diane's Cakes)

Megan and Tony, it was an absolute pleasure being able to document your day for you! Congratulations and may you have a lifetime of happiness!

Katie and Murray, photography by Brad Smith and Suz Fleming-Smith of Photosmith

Katie and Murray had a truly lucky wedding day rain on Saturday. All the luck of rain on their wedding day, plus it only rained when they weren't outside! Katie and Murray were great to work with and such a classy couple. You can see that Katie is ahead of what will surely be the new fashion trend thanks to Princess Kate Middleton: lace and sleeves. Though our Katie's dress is technically sleeveless, it still maintains the same kind of timeless look and elegance. Katie and Murray married at the beautiful St. Xavier and their reception was held at the Cincinnati Club. Murray is the fourth Monroe that Photosmith has provided photography services for. We always feel honored when family and friends refer us. Best wishes to this couple from everyone at Photosmith!

Photosmith makes a step toward being greener

Everyone that works at Photosmith wants to be a little bit greener. We've been recycling our soda cans and bottles, among other things, for a long time now. Recently, we just bought a flash drive to reduce the number of cds we use for each wedding. Now, when we take images to the proofing lab, we have one reusable drive instead of several single use cds. It's one small step we have taken to be a little bit greener. Next, Suz wants to invest in a power strip that cuts off all power to the computers over night so nothing is wasted through vampire energy. Here is a link to an easy to read article on vampire energy.

What rainy weather we've been having! Glad it let up a little last week. Got to spend some time with our new dog at the park. Today seemed like endless rain again. Glad it let up a little so I could do this portrait of the Petroff family. We met at Eden Park and little James was full of bounce and energy. Here are a few pics of him and his parents. Very expressive little guy!
