I was looking through some older photos tonight, and found these from a wedding in October that I was the 2nd shooter at, with my friend Amber Walsh.  I enjoy being a second shooter: I get to practice and learn without all the pressure of having to make sure I get all the perfect shots.  In [...]

I loved so many things about Nick & Jayne’s wedding: that Nick’s dad was his best man, that Jayne made all the jewelry that she and her bridesmaids wore, that Nick and Jayne’s grandmothers got up and gave some reflections and advice on marriage during the ceremony, how happy they looked dancing at their reception. Everything was [...]

You may remember Zach and Sara from the engagement photos I did of them on a blustery, snowy day last fall.  They’re old classmates of mine from Otterbein College, and one of those totally cute couples that you know will be together a gazillion years.   They got married at a really old church in downtown Columbus and [...]

Brian & Sheila got married in a beautiful outiside ceremony at The Ridges, in Athens, Ohio.  (Athens is home of Ohio University, for any non-Ohio readers).  Their day was full of warmth, laughter, and lots of adorable little children!  Jason and I had such a great time documenting their special day as it unfolded.  Wasn’t [...]

Work + photography + new house = a very busy Jen Frederick.
I am hoping to do full re-caps this weekend, but for now, I am posting a teaser picture from each of my last two weddings.
First, Zach and Sara:

And here’s Brian & Shelia:

Can’t wait to share the rest! xo.

{ house } As you can see from the polaroid in my last post, Funnel and I are in our new house! 
We closed on our house May 20th and moved in on May 30th.  During the days in between were long, 14-hour days of working on the house.  I took the week off of work, and Funnel [...]

This past Saturday, I helped John & Ali (Contrast Images) shoot a wedding of Ali’s good friend, Jaimi.  In fact, Ali was in the wedding, and was totally Ms. Bridesmaid/Photographer Extraordinaire by doing both duties! 
First of all, I loved Jaimi’s beautiful Indian wedding dress (I can’t remember the proper term) and all of her accessories.  [...]

Last night was the Taste of the Independents. It’s an event that features cuisine from over 40 independently owned and operated restaurants in Columbus, and it benefits the non-profit that I work for, The Buckeye Ranch. It was the most delicious food that I’ve had in a long time (probably since last year’s event)! They [...]

Our friends, John & Ali, from Contrast Images Photography asked me to do a photo shoot of them for their “about us” section of their website and a promotional book they are putting together.
Funnel & I had lunch with them at Bob Evans and then we headed over with them to Canal Winchester for a [...]

So yesterday, a wonderous suprise arrived at my doorstep, helped along it’s way by faeries and leprachauns, no doubt…. my new camera!  What a perfect present for St. Patrick’s Day!
Funnel called me to let me know it had come, and that he was unpacking it.  It made for a long afternoon at work.  I came [...]
