Anna & Rick’s Wedding at Windows on the River

Elizabeth — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:08:55 +0000

Since we initially met last spring, I’d been looking forward to Anna’s gorgeous wedding day. It was then that she told me about her fiance, Rick, who travels frequently as a pilot. In fact, he proposed to Anna on a trip to Paris — at the Eiffel tower.

We had a beautiful Saturday in downtown Cleveland, and we made the most of it by going to two photo locations in between the ceremony at The Old Stone Church and reception at Windows on the River. Their wedding was elegant and classy, yet we had a fun & relaxing time with Anna, Rick & their wedding party.

Salon: Marengo Spa
Florist: Fresh Tendrils

Veena & Alex’s Indian Wedding at Lake Farmpark

Elizabeth — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:21:08 +0000

They met the night Veena crashed Alex’s Medical School Halloween Party. A year-and-a-half later, Alex whisked Veena off to Panama to ask for her hand in marriage.

Friday evening Veena and Alex held their Sangeeth at Quail Hollow Resort, followed by their wedding on Saturday at the Lake Farmpark in Kirtland.

This was my first experience photographing an Indian wedding, and what an experience it was! Aside from the gorgeous colors and festive events of the day, Veena and Alex were a joy to be around. They made me feel like more of a friend than a vendor. Many thanks to Veena and Alex for including me in their exquisite wedding celebration. I had an amazing time.

Sangeeth: Quail Hollow Resort

Saturday:

Ceremony & Reception Location: Lake Farmpark, Kirtland, Ohio
Officiant: Panditji Vinod Dave

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

Patti and Mark met several years ago while Mark was in training to be a manager at Patti’s company. After briefly going in different directions, they made a connection again and the rest is history. Patti says, “I believe our paths crossed for a reason. He is my soulmate.”

Their wedding was Saturday, August 15th — A bright, gorgeous day without a hint of rain. Patti and Mark had an outside ceremony overlooking Lake Erie.

Here’s a list of their vendors and photo locations:

On July 25th, Liz and Rick had a gorgeous wedding day. The rain held off, so after their lovely ceremony in Avon Lake we headed off to Huntington Beach for photographs before the reception.

Liz and Rick are such a sweet couple and were awesome to work with! Here’s some of my favs from our day:

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Julie & Chuck

Elizabeth — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:18:50 +0000

Julie and Chuck knew each other in high school and ran in the same circles in Elyria. They have the same friends, and Julie’s best friend married Chuck’s best friend. They’re a perfect match…it just took them a few years to realize it.

Julie and Chuck are parents to little Chase, who’s about to turn one. Chase wasn’t really into taking photos on his parent’s wedding day. However he seemed to have fun at the reception. It gave him plenty of time to run around after his bedtime.

Congrats Julie and Chuck! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to hang out with my E-Town peeps. I had fun.

Officiant: Rev. Jerry Henry Kruse
Ceremony: Lake Avenue United Church of Christ
Reception: West Side Irish American Club

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Stephanie & Mark

Elizabeth — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:14:42 +0000

Stephanie and Mark’s wedding happened on a beautiful Saturday in June. The weather was perfect — 79 degrees, sunny, and thankfully, it didn’t rain.

If I picked one word to describe this couple it would be, “fun”. Throughout the months we worked together, Stephanie mentioned this word to me several times when describing their wedding day. And on June 6th, both of them mentioned it. It seemed important to Stephanie and Mark that they relish the day and each other’s company, and that their guests have a festive time. I think everyone did. =)

Here’s a vendor recap and some of my favorites:

Vendor List

Ceremony: St. Angela Merici
Reception: Delucas Place in the Park
Makeup Artist: Color By Numbers
Florist: Tim Stanton
Cake Artist: Wildflour Bakery
DJ: Academy DJ’s
Videographer: Melendez Video Services (440-988-7400)

Mark and the guys were having a little fun, acting like Mark was going to jump into the fountain.

In the middle of the first dance, Mark and Stephanie surprised everyone by busting a move!

I caught this moment in the corner. Stephanie was dancing with her grandfather.

Looks like everyone had a great time. Mission accomplished, Stephanie and Mark!

Maressa and Alex’s Wedding at The Country Club in Pepper Pike, Ohio

Elizabeth — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:33:49 +0000

The first time I met with Maressa and Alex, I realized how much chemistry they have. Their chemistry is magnetic. Maressa and Alex are completely, madly in love, and I’m pretty sure you’ll see it in the photos.

I loved their wedding day. So filled with emotion.

Cleveland Ohio Wedding:: Elizabeth & Peter

Elizabeth — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:10:53 +0000

So I’m posting a few more images than usual, but I just couldn’t narrow it down. There were so many amazing moments! Elizabeth and Peter were married on April 18th — my first wedding of the season. Their ceremony was at St. Francis of Assisi in Gates Mills and the reception was held at the Kirtland Country Club in Kirtland.

Here’s some highlights from our day. Congratulations Elizabeth and Peter!
