Thank You.

I’ve been spending the weekend working, and I’m glad.  I certainly miss the time with my family, I’m just glad I have the opportunity to do what I love in the greatest nation on earth.  The whole reason I get to do what I love is that Millions of Men and women from My generation and many generations past have served this amazing country and sacrificed so much to ensure we all enjoy our freedoms and the choice to be who we want to be.  I’m writing this as a thank you to all my family, Most notably my Fathers Jim O’Donnell and Ed Burns who served during the Vietnam war, and Ben my brother who served in the Army.  Also to all the friends I’ve made over the years through the studio.  Tim Wolfe who’s wedding we just shot served in Iraq and several of his friends have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Deirdre and Dan’s brother was in Afganistan the day of their wedding and called at 3am local time to say “Hi.” Jackie and Justin’s brother is still serving in the Army but looks to be home soon.  Niki and Kenny’s wedding last June was one of my favorites.  Nearly all of his groomsmen, Niki’s Father and Brother, and several wedding attendants had served or were currently serving.  Their movie is below.  I’m so thankful for each and everyone one of you I have met and worked with over the years.  I am so proud of you and I am glad to call you my friends. Thank you!

Lauren and Steve in Minster

 What an awesome wedding!  Blake, Kevin (DJ KevyKev) and I headed up to Minster on the 12th for Lauren and Steve’s wedding.  Lauren and Steve met us at MAry and Matt’s wedding last October.  We must have talked for a half hour about working with them while we were there so it’s been since then that we’ve been looking forward to our trip to Minster to shoot.  Now if you know Minster you might think it’s not the ideal place for cool places to shoot, I disagree!  We just come up about an hour early and must have spent half that time looking for the “old mill” which I thought was some cool old abandoned warehouse/factory spot that we could find some rust at. It wasn’t ’til right before we got to the church that I saw the bar called “the Old Mill” found the spots you see and I have to say I’m exstatic to see the results.  I have to give a huge thanks to everyone we worked with, from the Groomsmen and the Bridesmaids (Hi Kate!  Nice to meet you!!) and especially the families.  I loved working with you all, we just loved everyone and it’s not too often that happens.  And how awesome was that food!!  I’m predicting it’s the best food of the year, the cake was killer too! Thanks Lauren and Steve!  I’m so, so, so glad you’re friends with Mary and Matt and came to their wedding so we could meet, just made the 12th of May way awesome for us!!  Click here to view all the images online, and check out the show below or on YouTube. iPhone, iPad, iPod users click here to dowmload their custom app, use the link at the bottom in the app to share! -Nick

Julie and Will’s E-Session in Cincinnati

 Julie and Will are getting married in December and I’m sure the weather will be a little different than we had a few weeks ago for their E-Session.  Their first date was at the creation museum, and if that doesn’t tell you they’re a unique couple just check out the props they brought for the E-Session:  A Croquet set!  Looking forward to December guys!  Thanks for a fun day at the park! -Nick

Shot Stephanie and Carson out in Yellow Springs last week. What a cool couple, I’m really excited to get to work with them again! The wedding will be an emotional one and I can’t wait to be a part of it. Btw, Love that feild. It was kind of an after thought but they ended up being some of my favorites. -Nick
