About Tabitha & Wellspring Photography

What I love about my job is that it brings together so many of my favorite things: art, family, weddings, children, animals, and nature. Most of all I love connecting with others. It is important to me to make that connection during a photo session (and in life), and then to capture it through my lens. Getting to do that as my job is truly a blessing especially if I can capture significant moments for others that will last a lifetime.

I’m BACK!!! Hello, my name is Tabitha; nice to meet you again:)

Saturday, March 2nd, 2013

 

Well… I've dusted off my blog and am ready to get back to it:) I have had a rather crazy past year and a half, and while I won't go into details I will say that there have been many changes in my life. 2012 was one of the best and worst years of my life and because it was that way, I learned some rather valuable lessons and appreciate life even more than ever before.

I took a break from blogging (amongst other things) to let myself breath a little, but am SO happy to be back to letting you know what I've been up to:) 

I never stopped shooting (thankfully) and BOY was 2012 a busy year! 

Shameful that I didn't share even one blog post with you!!!

So I will just jump right back in and try to catch you up on what I've been working on.


First up…the lovely baby Evelyn.

The sweetest face, TONS of hair and super squishy…who wouldn't fawn all over this little bundle of joy?

Their reception was at the Toledo Zoo and there was an awesome bonus of getting to hang out with a couple of animals: a Mexican hairy porcupine & an Asian alligator. Getting to check out those two was definitely one of my favorite wedding moments!

Michelle & Kyle Tied The Knot! *Toledo Wedding Photography*

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Can't wait to share these photos with you from Kyle & Michelle's second big day! Their first big day was back in June in Myrtle Beach with an intimate wedding ceremony overlooking the ocean.  Since not everyone could be there, they wanted to have a reception here in town at Parkway Place for their friends and extended family. I had a blast with all of them and met lots of really nice (and fun!) people:)

Check out their day…

Adam & Kristin’s Wedding!!! *Ohio Wedding Photography*

Monday, July 25th, 2011

I am SO happy to share more of Kristin & Adam's big day with you!

Phil & I shot their lovely wedding in Oak Harbor & their gorgeous reception at the Catawba

Island Club. I just can't say enough about how great this couple and their families & friends are; we loved getting to know them all:) 

Take a look at their wedding day…

You know I had to get a couple shots of the pooch. Somebody even gave her a purple ribbon to match the wedding colors! Love it:)

Don't worry, they didn't run ALL the way to the wedding…

Adam had a card delivered to Kristin before the ceremony, she read part of it to us and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. TOO SWEET:)

Another emotional moment…

What a handsome groom…and we are kinda crazy about red hair at Wellspring!

Cutie patooties!!!!

The stunningly beautiful bride.

Kristin did an amazing job with the details! She even did all the bridesmaids bouquets, we love a DIY bride that has style!!!

The speeches at weddings are always one of my favorite parts of the day; it always gives us such a personal glimpse at Brides & Grooms. 

K&A organized a FLASH MOB for their reception! They had about 40 people involved and it was quite a sight to see, you guys rocked it! 

Guess who else is getting married…:)

"It's a party in the USA!"

GORGEOUS!!!

K&A-LOOOOOOOVED your wedding! What a great way to start a marriage:):)  I hope you both listen to Kristin's Grandpa's advice to see every day together as a holiday, and of course I hope that Kristin's dad's dreams of many grand children comes true too (but hopefully you get to enjoy being newlyweds for a little while first!) Congratulations you two:)

Luke & Kayley’s Post Wedding Session *Ohio Wedding Photography*

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

I need to keep this short because I have SO much editing to do since I've had LOTS of really great sessions lately, but I wanted to share some favorites from Luke & Kayley's post wedding session. I LOVE post wedding sessions because the pressure is off and it is TRULY all about the bride & groom (as well as giving the bride a reason to wear her beautiful wedding dress again:) 

I didn't get to meet Luke until their wedding day since we didn't do an engagement session, so it was REALLY great to get to spend some time with JUST Kayley and Luke for a bit. As wonderful as wedding days are, they are usually pretty hectic, so it is always quite a treat to do a post session and get to hear about the couple's memories from their big day and get to photograph them away from all the crowds and hustle & bustle.

Here are some of my favorites…

I absolutely LOVE how fun & goofy these two are together and I just HAD to capture some of the crazy faces that they would make at each other between photos to get the other one laughing:) They're too cute:):)

I'm crazy about all the pics but am in love with this next one…

L&K-keep on laughing and having fun together and you will have a long happy marriage! It was wonderful to get to work with you two again and it was awesome to get an "insider's" view of Oak Openings; so glad we got to do pictures there since it has so much meaning for the two of you:)

Kristin & Adam’s Wedding Sneak Peek! *Ohio Wedding Photography*

Monday, July 11th, 2011

As I write this blog post I am munching on vanilla nut flavored popcorn from last night's reception (btw- K&A: the popcorn is deeee-licious!) and thinking about how much fun Kristin & Adam's wedding was. Besides fabulous locations, beautiful & personal details, and lots of gorgeous (and super nice) people, I don't think I've ever seen two families who meshed better than Kristin & Adam's families. And while we are on the topic of Kristin & Adam let me just say that, along with everyone who knows them, I ALSO agree that they are totally 100% meant for each other. This wedding celebration was FILLED with touching moments, TONS o' fun, DANCING, dancing, more dancing & lots of love. 

Here is just a quick preview from yesterday. 

First up: they didn't want to see one another before the ceremony but instead opted to have a little moment to hold hands just before the wedding started. It was really sweet and I have to say that neither one seemed nervous at all, just really happy & excited to say "I do."

Ummmmm…don't they both look like they just stepped out of a magazine? What a beautiful couple:)

I seriously am SO excited to post more photos!!! Congratulations K & A:) Hope today was another great day with your family & friends.

Keep an eye on my blog for more photos from this wedding soon…

P.S. Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE what I do????? 

Tabitha

And if you are thinking about having us shoot your 2012 wedding PLEASE contact us soon because we have limited Saturdays left for next year's wedding season and we don't want you to get left out:)
