Just Married! Marcia & Kevin

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

One of my favorites shots from any wedding is the bride and groom on their walk back up the aisle.  All the stress of the ceremony is over.  The nerves from the day are gone.  The happiness of being together is just flowing from couple.

Here is a quick shot of Marcia and Kevin living in that moment!

Matt + Kathy! The Wedding!

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Last weekend Kathy and Matt were married in front of their closest family and friends.    The day started off with a few surprises.  First it was raining like crazy on the east side of town and looked like it would all day.  Not the best for the outdoor reception that was planned for later that evening.  Second, I was greeted by a limping groom at the church.  Matt and broken his foot earlier in the week.  He put in a good effort and made it down the aisle without the walking boot and with a smile on his face, but I’d expect nothing less from a fireman!

The rain stopped just around the time the ceremony ended and we hit the fire station for a few quick shots before heading to the reception at their house.  A huge tent filled the backyard and a big BBQ was on.  Dinner, dancing and a great party ended with a beautiful release of Chinese lanterns after the sun set.  It was the perfect ending to the night!

Jessica + Yacine: The Wedding Preview

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

What a great time I had yesterday!  Jessica and Yacine came into Cleveland from NYC to get married.  Cleveland is Jessica’s hometime, but she’s truly international – just like her new husband.  Honestly, people flew in from all corners of the globe to take part in their special day.  I’m glad I was able to go along for the ride.

Christy & Mark: Engaged!

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

Every photographer loves to hear their client say “just do your thing”.  That’s what Christy and Mark told me to do and I think I did it pretty well.

I don’t recall much about meeting these two for the first time to look over albums except that it was cold and we just hit it off talking like we had known each other for a while.  It was a comfortable conversation and I was so glad when they booked me.  I have to give some props to Mark for be a North Ranger as well!  I’d say Rebel’s s*ck but it’s Senior Portrait season ;)

We met at Mark’s parents house and Christy had some fun ideas about using the pond and canoe.  Now most couples build up to stuff like this but they went right to the canoe!  We shot there for about an hour and then headed into Downtown Willoughby for a quick trip down the main stretch.

Having a great time in Alabama.  Thought I would leave the editing until I got home, but once I start flipping through the shots, I might as well put some polish on a couple.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a wedding and here are quick shots of the bride and groom!
