Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Rachel & Tom

Elizabeth — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:10:57 +0000

Oh my goodness, where do I start with this wedding post? I’ll begin by saying that I LOVED LOVED LOVED the style Rachel chose. From the purple accents (shoes, wristlets, shawls, flower girl’s hair clip), to Tom’s very debonair George Clooney esq traditional tux, to the feather Rachel wore in her hair. Everything was put together so well! On top of the lovely details, I had a great time with this amazing couple. (Check out their E-Session here)

Here’s a breakdown of our day’s locations, vendors, and my favorite moments:

Florist: Creations by Lynn
Cake Artist: Celene’s Cuisine

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Becky & Nick

Elizabeth — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:52:35 +0000

With the exception of being a little chilly, Becky and Nick’s wedding was on a perfectly sunny October day. The ceremony was at Becky’s alma mater (these two met while Becky was studying to be a nurse at Case Western Reserve University), immediately across the street from our first photo location at The Cleveland Museum of Art lagoon. After taking some group and individual photos, we headed off to our second location by the Cleveland skyline, and then off to their reception in North Olmsted.

All in all, it was a great day!

Here’s a few of my favorites and their vendors:

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Joani & Jason

Elizabeth — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:00:16 +0000

Several weeks ago on a rainy, cool Saturday, Joani and Jason were married at the Brushwood Pavilion in Richfield, and had their reception at The Presentation of Our Lord in Fairlawn.

They met through a mutual friend and according to Joani, “We both felt a connection and comfort level we have never felt”. Joani told her best friend that this was the man she was going to marry. And she did.

Here’s a few of my favorites shots from our day:

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Jess & Dave

Elizabeth — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:02:53 +0000

A few weeks ago I photographed Jessica and David’s wedding. I had such a great time! They’re perfect for each other and have a really amazing group of friends. And as a professional wedding photographer, I’d like to remark on how gracious their wedding party was. Everyone was very easy to work with and agreeable.

We started off shooting at Lakewood Park and thankfully, the weather held off long enough for some great shots with the city in the background (Jess’ gave us the idea to shoot there…I think I’ve found a new fav spot!). Then, we headed over to the West Side Market, but not long enough to miss the rain.

I’d like to thank Jess and Dave for being such wonderful clients. They are honestly one of my favorite couples.

Here’s a list of their vendors, followed by some of my favorites shots from our day:

Ceremony Location: St. Charles Borromeo Church
Photo Location #1: Lakewood Park
Photo Location #2: West Side Market
Florist: True Vine Flowers
Reception: Carrie Cerino’s
DJ: Jerry Bruno Productions

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Jenny & Damon

Elizabeth — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:02:45 +0000

Jenny and Damon met at a community festival held every year in Columbus. They were both enjoying an impromptu drum circle when they began talking, and almost six years later they married.

It was raining on Jenny and Damon’s wedding day, however neither of them let it spoil their plans. Their beautiful wedding was held in the Hungarian Gardens, as originally planned, and we worked around the rain.

Here’s their vendor list and a few of my favorites from our day:

Vendor List

Officiant: Kristine Marshall - 314.497.5357
Ceremony Location: Cleveland Cultural Gardens
Salon: Dino Palmieri Salon and Spa (Downtown Cleveland)
Reception: Hilton Garden Inn Cleveland Downtown
Florist: 12th St. Florist
Cake Artist: Becker’s Donuts and Bakery
Videographer: Focus on You Video
Band: Rick & the Cutting Edge

One of Jenny’s bridesmaid’s got the job of peeking out the elevator to ensure Damon was out-of-sight. Can you believe we literally missed him by seconds?

Jenny and Damon decided to proceed with their plans to have the ceremony at the Cultural Gardens, despite the rain!

Emotions were running high as Damon first saw Jenny walking toward him.

The rain created some really beautiful reflections on the ground.

Concerned that it may start raining again, we decided to check out this cool bridge as a photo location. I loved the contrast!

The maid-of-honor gave a really great speech. I caught a few laughs from Jenny and Damon.

This shot was taken on Jenny’s signature drink — Apple Martini. I didn’t have a chance to taste it, but it looked delicious!

Rick and the Cutting Edge kept the crowd going all night! They really rocked it out!

I had such a fun time! Thanks for having me on your amazing wedding day, Jenny and Damon!
