Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes – Page 5 – Toledo Wedding Photographer

Rob and Lisa

Today is Rob and Lisa’s One Year Anniversary and to congratulate them, I thought I would share a few of their pictures.

Rob and Lisa were actually married at Sandals Dunn’s River Villagio in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Although I didn’t get to go with them because of logistical reasons, I did photograph their engagement and reception.

We started with the engagement session and created a beautiful announcement card using Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen technology.

Their tropical themed reception was held at Camp Miakonda, where they had the entire campgrounds to themselves for the entire weekend. It was their own Paradise at home and it made for some amazing images!

Then, just a couple of months later, Rob and Lisa were surprised with more great news!

In April of 2010, they welcomed their beautiful baby girl!

Congratulations Rob and Lisa on your whirlwind first year together as husband and wife!

Sarah and Ryan by Toledo Wedding Photographer Kurt Nielsen Photography

Sarah and Ryan were married on March 27, 2010 at Mayfair Plymouth Church in Toledo in a beautiful ceremony!

Of course, the bride was nervous before the ceremony and needed a little something to calm her nerves!

And the groom got quite emotional when he saw the bride walking down the aisle!

All in all, it was a great ceremony and the bridal party was awesome!

The Doves from Doves of Love didn’t quite want to cooperate…they tried to fly back into the church!

After all of the formal wedding pictures were taken, everyone piled into the Party Bus they rented from Limo Toledo…

and we headed to downtown Toledo. The first stop was The Toledo Museum of Art.

Then we headed to the Reflecting Pond (which wasn’t exactly filled, but made for some nice pictures anyway).

Then the wedding party headed to The Easy Street Cafe for some snacks and a drink, with a quick stop at the local fire station for more pictures.

Then it was back in the limo and off to the reception at Dusseau’s Reception Center in Ida, Michigan where everyone danced the night away to Josh Bollin’s Super Sounds DJs.

We even had Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen fun at the reception!

But the night didn’t end there! Everyone piled back into the party bus and headed back to Toledo and the Bier Stube where the wedding party had to sing Bon Jovi for their Karaoke song! Bride’s choice!

This was a great wedding for a great couple! Sarah and Ryan, may you enjoy many, many years of wedded bliss! (Sorry about having to choose from over 1450 pictures! but it was a fun night!)

Toledo Wedding Photographer: Choosing A Wedding Photographer

Your special day is filled with passion and excitement, laughter and tears, family and friends. Choosing a photographer with over 20 years of professional photography experience and having photographed over 700 weddings means that you know all of those precious moments will be captured. Having a photographer that has extensive knowledge of today’s digital photographic technology means you will receive images that are as unique as you.

My time as your wedding photographer starts with your initial consultation. At our first meeting, we will discuss what options are available with photographing your wedding day, and your expectations of your wedding pictures. We will also customize your wedding package in order to fulfill all of your photographic needs.

Of course, this will not be our only contact before the big day. From previous experience, I know things will change. You may realize that things will not work out as you have previously planned and need to make changes. I am more than willing and able to give you my perspective of how to make things work better when location and timing are at issue; so don’t hesitate to call me with your questions and concerns. I also have no problem working with a wedding planner, if you have one. I will then meet with you again a couple of weeks prior to your wedding day to finalize your photographic plans.

When the big day finally arrives, I will be with you from beginning to end; capturing all of the details and intimate moments from your wedding and reception, without being intrusive and demanding. And have no fear; I always have back-up equipment, just in case! I will then have your proof slideshow ready for you to view within a couple of weeks after your wedding date. I will also post your pictures on-line for your friends and family to view.

Planning your wedding is a lot of work and can quickly become very expensive. Just remember, down the road, years after your wedding, the only thing you will have left are your memories. Your friends and family probably won’t remember your decorations, or what was served for the meal, or even how your invitations looked or the gifts you gave your guests. Will you remember everything about your wedding and even who was there? With a good professional wedding photographer who can capture all of those memories, you will!

If you need to cut corners on your wedding budget, make sure it’s not on your photographer. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words!
