My good friend, Andrea, and I went scouting locations for some weddings we’re shooting together next year.  She needed a tour guide for Cleveland and I just needed and excuse to go downtown and shoot.

Among our stops was the old Cleveland Courthouse.  We found these fantastic puddles of light coming through the windows on the second floor.  The building was being setup for a reception and that was great as it gave us a good idea of how it will look when we get our chance at the place.

From there was hustled over to the Hyatt Hotel in the Old Arcade. There was a wedding being shot there as well. I’m sure we would have been doing it better. There wasn’t a whole lot of other activity going on except for these guys taking in the quiet afternoon with a game of chess.
