I hung out with Rachel, Mark, and their puppy the other day at Coe Lake and Cornerstone Brewery in Berea for their Engagement Session. I had such a great time getting to know them. I'm so looking forward to their 2010 Wedding. Its going to be an amazing event! Thanks for spending the morning with me!!
Jamie and I hung out with Amy & Andrew on December 12, 2009. We had an amazing time. We started out at the Brecksville United Church of Christ. Beautiful emotions were definitely flowing as the Bride & the Groom both cried when the Bride walked down the aisle with her Father. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house during this ceremony. After formal photos at the church we made a stop for some fun romantic photos at the Gazebo in Brecksville where Andrew proposed. Then we moved downtown to the park by the Courthouse and then onto the Arcade. We ran into Elizabeth Pruitt and her Bridal Party. Hi Elizabeth! Then Jamie and I headed to Cleveland State's Science Department with the Bride & Groom for some photos. Then the party started at the BarRoom Downtown which is a part of Cadalliac Ranch. The party was definitely hopping! The B&G went right into their first dance followed by a Ukranian Ritual where the parents present bread, wine etc. It was a wonderful evening full of fun, dancing, and amazing company! Special shout out to the fabulous Angela Wish! She was a part of the Bridal Party as well as helping her best friend the Bride with the Wedding. If anyone needs a Wedding Planner or Day Of Coordinator, Angela's your woman! Thanks Amy & Andrew for making us a part of your day! We had a fabulous time!
I spent a day last weekend with Logan, Meghann & Lance of the Green Family. Its always such a pleasure to work with them. Logan is such an amazing little boy and I always love visiting with him. Thanks for allowing me to feel like I was part of your family for a day!
Jamie & I joined Nicci & Dan for their beautiful Wedding at St. John's Cathedral on November 7. The church was amazing and the emotion filled ceremony was gorgeous. Then we headed to the park overlooking Browns Stadium for some fun group shots. We also stopped at City Hall and Public Square. The Wedding Party was tons of fun. We had lots of laughs and good times!
Then we moved onto the Silver Grille for the reception. The venue was set up with reds, whites and greys. It was magnificent. The toasts were heartfelt and there were lots of tears in people's eyes. Then the Brothers Fagan hit the floor. They were hilarious. Best toast I've ever heard full of laughter and tears. It was a wonderful evening! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day!
I spent an amazing day with Jaz & Eric at the Cleveland Zoo. Shannon Baker & his partner from SB Productions were with us also. We laughed all day long. Jaz & Eric are a wonderful couple full of love for each other and a passion for life. They also have fantastic senses of humor. I'm really looking forward to their Wedding in May!
It was the perfect Fall day for Emily & Kevin's Wedding. We had a tiny bit of rain but the colors on the leaves in Olmsted Falls were magnificent! To me the best thing about Emily & Kevin's Wedding was definitely the way they looked at each other all day. Their love was so refreshing and beautiful. We enjoyed hanging out with them. And it wouldn't be right not to mention the Steelers/Browns rivalry happening throughout the day. I think the officiant even mentioned it during the Wedding. The Groom is a Steelers fan and the Bride is a Browns Fan. I think I got that right! I also had a great time teasing the Groom's Brother about his Steelers hat. And he definitely got me back during the toast...LOL. I had such an amazing time! Thanks so much for making me a part of your Day!!
Kathleen & I hung out with Katie & Nick this past October for their beautiful Fall Wedding. We started out at Katie's home in the morning. It was a bit chilly but the ladies braved the cold for a few cool walking photos. Then we headed to the church for a lovely ceremony. Katie was gorgeous as she walked down the aisle with a huge smile! A bagpiper lead the way into and out of the ceremony..how cool?! We headed to Edgewater Park after the ceremony for a few cool Bridal Party and Couple photos. Then we headed to Mapleside Farms afterwards to finish up the photo session of the day. The reception was full of candles & lanterns. The atmosphere was breathtaking. The couple's friends and family were a ton of fun to photograph throughout the evening.

I had the pleasure of photographing my photographer BFF Liz Haas and her main squeeze Chris for their maternity session. They brought their awesome dog Echo. We had such a fabulous time. I've been wanting to photograph around the red bridge in the Flats. So when Liz suggested shooting in the Flats...I was definitely game! I can't wait to see the new addition to your family!!
I always have so much fun photographing Shake Rattle & Roll for Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital. And the fun was definitely not lacking this year. Next year I'm going to have to sit down and actually play Texas Hold'em.
