Erica & Frank: July 28, 2012

As soon as I met Frank & Erica, I was so excited to work with them. They are just two of the sweetest people I have ever met. We joined them at the Botanical Gardens for their Ceremony. The ceremony was held indoors due to some rain earlier in the day, but it was an absolutely gorgeous ceremony. I just loved the HUGE smiles on the faces of Erica & Frank as Erica walked down the aisle towards him. And after the ceremony, we were able to sneak out into the gardens for some photos. After the Botanical Gardens, we headed to The Cleveland Museum of Art & then Edgewater. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. And the Wedding Party was SUCH a blast to hang out with. We all had so much fun during the photos. Then we headed to Wagnor's Country Inn for the reception. Erica & Frank shared a rousing introduction with their Bridal Party. The Best Man gave a hilarious toast. And the Maid of Honor's toast was extremely touching. It brought tears to my eyes. After some heartfelt dancing with the Father of the Bride & the Mother of the Groom, the dancing party started! Thank you so much for allowing me to spend your special day with you. It was AWESOME!

Mary & Mena: July 21, 2012

Katy & I joined Mary & Mena at St Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Seven Hills for their Wedding. This was my first experience photographing a Coptic Wedding Ceremony and I absolutely loved it. Everyone involved was absolutely wonderful. And we were able to be anywhere we wanted to be which made it really easy to capture images we needed/wanted. Mary & Mena are absolutely a pleasure to be around. Their love for each other is such a beautiful thing. The way they laugh together is profound. You could see how much they cared for each other every time they looked at each other. So beautiful!

 After the ceremony, we headed to E.4th and Edgewater for some group and couple photos. It was such a blast hanging out with this group. :-)

 Then we ended our day at La Centre in Westlake. I was really digging the up-lighting at the reception. Mary & Mena started by sharing their first dance with each other and then immediately went into the cake cutting. They were so sweet & polite about feeding the cake to each other. And after dinner, when the dancing started, this group really showed us their moves!

Amanda & Jimmy's E-session

I invited Amanda & Jimmy out to my in-law's farm in Newbury, OH.  Its a favorite place of mine to shoot because of how gorgeous it is.  So I was thrilled that they were game.  It was wonderful getting to know them both.  I just loved how they smiled at each other.  Their eyes said everything they feel for each other.  It was just a beautiful day.  I'm very excited to shoot their Wedding!
