Second Shooting | Jorgensen Farms

July 20, 2018 By // by kate

A photographer friend of mine, Jason, who owns and runs Jason Joseph Photography, called and asked if I wanted to second shoot a wedding with him, and my answer was a pretty immediate, duh. As our conversation progressed and we chatted through the details, I found out that the venue for the day was to be Jorgensen Farms. Hell yes. Jorgensen Farms has been on my photography bucket list for a while, and I was stoked.

Second Shooting | Jorgensen Farms

Second shooting weddings has fast become one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon (or day, depending on the wedding, and the photographer that is the primary) I get to show up, capture the day, hand over the files as outlined in the contract that k.H.a. has with the primary studio, and head home to flip through the files that I captured, edit those that I have a big draw towards, and then switch back over to working on the other projects I have on my desk.

Jorgensen Farms as a Wedding Venue

The calm, peaceful, WONDERFUL energy that the owners have cultivated hits you as soon as you set foot out of the car in the gravel parking area. You can feel the love and care and attention to detail that has gone into cultivating the Historic Barn (and property as a whole) into a venue and event space. It’s fantastic. The light out there, phenomenal.

The wedding that Jason and I photographed together took place in the back fields, the reception in the Historic Barn. The bride and bridesmaids got ready and dressed in the yellow house, to the right of the Arena, the fellas in the grey house (Jason covered those details, while I spend time with the ladies)

The Historic Barn venue is divided into four unique areas: The Potting Shed and Patio welcomes guests onto a cozy brick patio made from reclaimed materials; The Arena provides rustic charm for your wedding or event; the versatile Main Barn post and beam structure offers a unique area for appetizers, indoor dancing, seating and more; and the Flower Field stretches across half an acre with expansive flower beds that bloom throughout the seasons, and holds space for maximum seating. – Jorgensen-Farms.com/events

Ya’ll. This place seriously rocks, and made photographing the day a dream.

Hannah + Sam | Alum Creek | Columbus Portrait Photographer

August 24, 2016 By // by kate

So moving across the country has been difficult, to say the least. This week, I put feelers out through the Columbus chapter of the Rising Tide Society (which if you’re a creative entrepreneur, you HAVE to check it out) to see if I could talk anyone into modeling for me, as I’ve spent the majority of the summer networking, rather than shooting.

Enter Hannah and her husband Sam.

They agreed to meet me, and fellow photographer Joslyn Crowl (check out her work here, she is AMAZING) out at Alum Creek State Park for an impromptu session.

Hannah and Sam are two of the nicest, sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and they were a dream to work with. They put up with us posing them standing in the water, which progressed to Sam stretching out fully in the shallows, and did so with such ease, and with good humor, and with big smiles throughout.

Watching the two of them interact, and the way that they both looked at each other, you could see how much they love each other. The late summer evening light was PERFECT, and I can’t wait to get them back in front of my camera again.

When I moved out to Ohio I joined The Rising Tide Society, which if you’ve not heard about them, and you’re a creative, you HAVE. TO. check them out. (You can do so by clicking here)

The Cliffs Notes version is that they are a group of creatives that focus on community over competition. Through the local Columbus chapter, I’ve made some amazing women who are fast becoming friends.

I had the opportunity to second shoot with Mariah Ellenwood, of Mariah about Ellenwood Photography, at a wedding this fall, and OH MAN was it one of the best wedding’s I’ve ever shot at. The light was phenomenal, getting to work with Mariah, a woman that I instantly clicked with, the bride and groom were super relaxed, everything was smooth and easy.
