When couples imagine their wedding day, they often hope for clear skies and sunshine. But as any experienced wedding photographer in Northeast Ohio will tell you, some of the most beautiful wedding days happen beneath a cloudy sky. Take this rainy spring church wedding for example: pure proof that the drizzle doesn’t take away from […]

Late Summer and Fall are the epitome seasons for Country Club Weddings. With the crisp air, manicured lawns, glittering lakes and those color changing trees; it is a backdrop that holds a ‘new adventure’ magic. Spin with getting ready in a villa, overlooking the grounds and you have it made. Colleen and Andrew’s day embodied […]

Although it was a rainy day in July, this St. Matthew Wedding will not disappoint. From a stop at Stan Hywet, to some rainy moments, to (one of my favorite!) cookie tables, and wine bottles, these two best friends had SUCH a magical day!   Traditional churches are something I truly enjoy capturing. I think […]

If I could put this wedding into one word it would be somewhere along the lines of “emotional”. I’m not sure if I cried more or my husband. Nevertheless, it’s evident when you have a bond with the bride and groom like we did, the day explodes with meaning and feels. So let’s begin: RosaLia […]

All dates have meaning. Regardless of the season chosen, the date also has significance. Not always are they just numbers on a calendar. This one, in particular, was the same as Alysse’s parents AND grandparents. Three generations starting their love story on the same exact date. Goosebump central, for sure! So let’s dive into this […]

To me, hotel weddings are the equivalent to a blank canvas. You can take any ballroom and splash all the fun to make it your own. Lexi and Nick’s Hilton Fairlawn Wedding did just that. They took this big empty space and filled it full of gold, white and purple accents. Their florals had hints […]
