First and foremost, Nikki and Kevin’s Lakewood Country Club wedding transported everyone to the beautiful Italian coast. Italy is one of my favorite countries to visit! My family is from a small town by the heel of the boot, and I studied abroad there during college, taking multiple Italian courses. I still dream about the […]

Summer celebrations, mid-July, are the epitome of wedding season. There is something about the sunshine and the excitement that just hits a tad differently than a cozy winter wedding or a brisk fall soiree. Tie in a root beer stand, farm animals, and the most beautiful purple sunset Ohio has ever seen, and you have […]

Friday weddings should receive a bit more of the spotlight in the wedding circuit. Just because it happens on a day of the week doesn’t mean it’s any less full of energy and love. Take this Portage Country Club Wedding for example. It took place on a Friday afternoon. Erin and Elliot had a Ceremony, […]

When Allie and Frankie inquired about their South Bend, Indiana wedding, photography was one of the first vendors they booked! It’s always an honor when couples reach out and ask about my schedule, but this felt a little extra special. Truly, any couple that trusts me to capture their memories when travel is involved is […]

Ever witnessed an Arcade Wedding in Cleveland, Ohio? I don’t mean a place with video games and tokens (although adding that to my idea list if Woody and I ever renew our vows). It’s more the historic center of this Hyatt hotel in the heart of downtown. From getting ready to reception dancing, Annie and […]

Marissa and Mike’s intimate Sapphire Creek Winery Wedding spoke directly to my summer heart! This winery holds one of the classiest, and hands down coolest, atmospheres for wedding venues in Chagrin. First, if you just look at the building structure, with its large, open windows and high ceilings. Then follow the grounds and see a […]
