About Love is Greater Photography:
Hello, Love is Greater Photography is owned and operated by me, Joshua White. This is the blog... it will contain all the latest and greatest from our recent shoots, as well as anything else I feel like writing on any given day. Thank you for visiting.
Some random tidbits of information about me: Married since 2004 to my amazing wife. Born in 1981, living in Toledo, Ohio. Have a rad little girl who was born in August of 2010. My favorite things in life are family, friends, doing life with both, love, creativity, authenticity, hope, music, and being a coffee / food / beer / wine snob.
Finally, months have gone by and I’ve updated our portfolio, both wedding and portraits! Please take a look below!

It’s a two-fer Wednesday! I’m actually just catching up on blogging our most recent weddings, so here’s our New Year’s Eve wedding, finally! We were pumped about this wedding from the moment we sat down with Shannon and David and they told us it was on New Year’s Eve. There was an immediate rapport between us, and we were honored to be apart of their day! It was by far the longest wedding we’ve shot to date, as we stayed up until the strike of the New Year to get some photos from that very cool moment. Check out some of my favorites below!
Lydia contacted us early in 2009, distraught over trying to find a photographer who would be willing to shoot her wedding, knowing that it was a night wedding, and they wanted pictures outdoors. I was shocked to learn that she had been turned down by a number of area photographers, citing that it would be “too difficult to shoot in the evening.” Gregg and I gladly accepted the challenge, and we spent the next few months honing our off-camera lighting techniques. Overall, this was by far and away the most challenging wedding we’ve shot, even the ceremony was exceptionally dark as it was lit mostly by candlelight. Nevertheless, we had a great time, and are very pleased with how the images came out. This wedding has a soft spot in my heart, as it was the last wedding I shot as a resident of Toledo. Literally seconds after the garter toss I hopped in the car with my wife and drove to New Mexico. I apologize for the delay in getting these posted (like three months!), but what can you do =). Enjoy some of my favorites from the wedding! (ps – I left a clue in here with another reason why it was one of my favorite weddings of 2009…)
Ever since LGP was formed, we’ve been committed to donating 10% of ALL our income to a non-profit we passionately believe in. She Dances is an organization dedicated to seeing freedom come in the lives of girls who have been bought, traded, and sexually exploited. Slavery is alive and well in the world today, and even more heartbreaking, sexual slavery is a big part of that. This is simply unacceptable to me, and therefore from time to time, in addition to the money we already send to She Dances, you’ll see us promote She Dances.. in hopes that you too may get involved in fixing one of the world’s biggest atrocities. We are truly honored to partner with She Dances in this all-important cause, and LGP is excited to continue working with She Dances in the future, in even bigger and better ways. Please, take a few minutes out of your busy day today, and watch this video. If you at all feel convicted to get involved, please visit the She Dances website and give whatever you feel lead to give. Buy a t-shirt, a sticker, talk about it on your blog/facebook… whatever. Just do something =)
