Danielle & Jeremy: October 20, 2012

Lexi & I headed out to Buffalo Creek Retreat to join Jeremy & Danielle for their Day. I was so excited because I had never been there before. And it didn't disappoint. It was AWESOME!

 We started the day taking some Getting Ready Images followed by Formal Family Images of Jeremy & Danielle separately. Then we spent some time doing fun images with the Ladies. The ceremony was gorgeous. It was to cold to be outside but it was set up beautifully inside the building. Danielle & Jeremy were so sweet. I loved the looks and expressions they shared during the ceremony.

 We then headed out into the cold to do some cool & romantic images on the Grounds of Buffalo Creek. It was just amazing outside. The Fall colors were so vivid. And this group was soooooo much fun!!!!

The Reception was also tons of fun. I loved Danielle's choice of color. And she had homemade Mad Libs at each table. The toasts were funny & sentimental. Danielle's dance with her father brought tears to my eyes. The Best man surprised Danielle & Jeremy with paper lanterns. It was just a really wonderful evening!!!

 Congratulations Danielle & Jeremy! I have loved every moment of working with you both. And I wish you tons of love and happiness for an eternity!

Amanda & Jimmy: October 6, 2012

I joined Amanda & Jimmy at Michaud's for their special day.  We started out with some getting ready photos.  And then moved outside for the ceremony.  The officiant read some things Amanda & Jimmy said about each other which was very sweet & heartfelt.  It brought tears to my eyes.  I just loved the way they looked at each other.  So sweet.  :-)

We headed over to Coe Lake for some fun images.  Amanda was all about props and I LOVED it.  Especially the photo frame.  I'm thinking about investing in one.  Anyway we had such a great time!

Then we went back to Michaud's for the Reception.  Amanda danced with all the men in her life which was really beautiful.  The Anniversary Dance was so much fun.  And then the Bridal Party got crazy on the dance floor!  It was a fabulous night!

Congratulations Jimmy & Amanda!  I wish you an eternity of happiness.  :-)

Brianna & Breck: September 29, 2012

Brianna & Breck are just an incredibly cute & lovable couple.  As soon as I met Brianna, I knew I wanted to photograph her Wedding.  And when I did this couple's e-session, I also fell in love with Breck's personality too.  They are just wonderful people!

Lexi & I hung out with Breck & Brianna separately to photograph their Getting Ready Images.  Then we moved to the Hall for their Wedding Ceremony.  I loved the way Brianna just cuddled into Breck with a huge smile during the sermon part of the ceremony.  They are just so sweet.

Then I joined the B&G with their Bridal Party at a park for some fun images.  We had a great time laughing and dancing.  They were just a fun fun group!

After group shots, we moved to the City Club of Cleveland for the Reception.  After some very heartfelt dances between the B&G and their parents, they moved into dancing & getting down.  Breck & Brianna had a photo booth for their guests which is always a hit with everyone.  They also had a candy bar which always makes me happy.  LOL.  And the fabulous Kimberly L from Love, Laughter & Elegance coordinated the fabulous event!

Congratulations to Breck & Brianna!  I wish you an eternity of love & happiness!

Channy & Cole: September 8, 2012

I had the pleasure of joining Channy & Cole at one of my favorite locations, The Greystone in Akron.  It is this beautiful old Masonic temple that has been converted into a Ceremony & Reception location.  It's just gorgeous!

Channy is the cousin of some past clients so I was thrilled to join their families again for such an awesome celebration.  And Channy & Cole are just the sweetest couple.  Plus it's so much fun when couples want you to be creative and are willing to do whatever you ask them to do.  :-)

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day.  Wishing you an eternity of happiness & love!

The A Family

It was so awesome to hang out with the A Family for the First time.  It was a perfect day in Olmsted Falls.  There were like 10 other photographers in the area.  Crazy!  But we chatted, laughed and played with the kids.  It was a fun day.  And definitely an honor to meet the A Family!!
