Weddings

Bobbi + Ryan

The most gorgeous fall wedding. Bobbi & Ryan’s magical autumn day was filled with beaming sunshine and incredible rustic yet elegant details. It made perfect sense to have this kind of wedding on a farm. Just like Bobbi & Ryan engagement session in Seattle, it was wonderfully relaxed and a ton of fun. Their personalities compliment each other so well. I love their laid back demeanor.  The wedding day had the same awesome carefree feel. It was just so effortless and wonderful. My favorite moments have to be seeing them interact with their bridal party. It was hilarious at times. This of course made the dance party that much better. All together this wedding was incredible. Thank you so much Bobbi & Ryan for trusting me to capture your perfect day. It was an amazing way to end my wedding season.

Annie + Chris

All that sparkle. Wow this wedding will leave you feeling so festive! Annie & Chris went for the prohibition vintage glam inspiration and boy did it look amazing. First off I love that their dog was present for the photos I mean after all he is family. Second, I thought Annie’s wedding dress was stunning but then she changed into a gold sequin number at the reception and it was incredible! So fabulous. Third, I loveedd all the vintage cigar boxes, camera’s, and bourbon bottles for the table settings. It took the theme to a whole new level. And finally fourth, the guys sang to Annie at the reception an old fraternity tradition. Swoon. Despite the cold frigged weather, this wedding was brilliant. I’m so happy for you Annie & Chris and wish you both all the happiness and love. Thank you so much for sharing your dreamy day with us.

Julie + Tony

The day I photographed Julie & Tony’s engagement shoot, we had the craziest snow storm. Ironically on their wedding day we also had hail/snow. It must be some sort of good luck thing because this wedding was amazing. Inspired by classic colors like ivory, white, metallic gold, navy, charcoal gray, and hints of raspberry pink and caramel, Julie wanted to stay traditional with a clean twist. The reception took place at The Mayfield Sand Ridge Club. The Tudor style architecture tied everything together perfectly. The Motown band had this party rockin and probably my favorite memory from this gorgeous day was watching Julie & Tony sing RESPECT on the mic towards the end of the night. Awesome. Thank you so much Julie & Tony for everything. You both together are perfect and I wish you guys all the happiness and love.

Cassie + Andrew

I end up somehow connecting with amazing people in this world through documenting their love story for the day. It’s a privilege and an honor. Something I hold very dear to my heart. Cassie & Andrew had their incredible wedding in downtown Cleveland. The ceremony took place at the always gorgeous St. Patrick’s Parish. After the ceremony, because it was such perfect weather, the gang really wanted to start the party at the 9. The alley right next door to the hotel had the best lighting. Thankfully Cassie & Andrew did not want typical wedding photos so I had a ton of fun utilizing all kinds of textures and industrial elements. The reception took place in the private room at Cibreo Privato.  The ambiance had a rustic romantic feel with all the candles and wine barrels. This wedding holds for the longest speech I’ve ever heard. Andrew’s father spoke for 32 min (someone timed it). Indeed he had a lot to say and it was very heartfelt. Also Cassie’s twin sister had everyone in gut busting laughter. Might be the funniest speech I’ve ever heard. All together this wedding was amazing. Their special bond with their friends and family was gleaming. Cassie & Andrew thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love.

Claire + Kevin

Inspired by shades of lilac, eggplant, green’s and silvers, these pops of color brightened this wedding in such a lovely way. It’s amazing that this wedding took place in October. It truly looked like a spring wedding with all the lush greens. Knowing how chancy Cleveland can be when it comes to weather, Claire and Kevin came prepared with matching umbrellas that made for really great bridal party shots. My favorite moments would have to be the first look (super heartfelt) and the reception (super awesome dance party) I’m a sucker for a good dance off. Claire and Kevin I hope all that rain brings you tons of good luck. Judging from how amazing your wedding was, I think you’re off to a great start. Wishing you lot’s of happiness, love, and fun dance parties.
