We had a great time getting to know Eunice and Ke these last couple of months and couldn’t wait to cover their wedding.  They planned an intimate wedding with most of their friends and family traveling from out of town and we were honored to be part of their day.  Thomas headed to the Renaissance’s bridal suite to meet up with Eunice and her two closest friends.  Wendy from Just Browsing was the makeup artist and as always,  did an amazing job.  I headed over to their home, where I got to meet Ke and his family.  They planned a “first sight” at Wade Lagoon in University Circle.  We love capturing these moments, especially when the bride and groom light up like Eunice and Ke did!  It’s obvious how much they love each other.  The ceremony was held at The Old Stone Church in Downtown Cleveland.  After the ceremony, we did a walkabout around downtown with the bridal party to capture some fun shots.  The reception was held at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel in the Ambassador room….so elegant!  The gorgeous flowers were designed by Pieter Bouterse Studio and the cake was designed by Michael Angelo’s Bakery.  The entertainment was provided by The DJ Crew.

Check out a few of our favorites!

We had a blast covering Jennifer and Matt’s wedding day yesterday.  This was the perfect fall day in Northwest Ohio, but Jen trumped it…….she was simply gorgeous. They had their ceremony at St. Ignatius of Antioch Church.  We love the old world churches we get to visit in Cleveland and this one’s architecture is magnificent.  The vast gothic style windows and dramatic arches lined the long isle way…….thank goodness this one was taken off the list to close.   Once they said the I do’s, we started taking some bridal portraits around the church and then headed downtown with the bridal party.  We had a fun group, but taking advantage of the the beautiful day, we grabbed the newlyweds and headed to one of favorite spots, Rocky River Park.  We love this location for our wedding and engagements shoots…..one of the most requested too!  Jen and Matt were great to work with.  Then off to the reception at Wagner’s Country Inn in Westlake, where Spencer Reynolds of Jerry Bruno Productions was ready to go with the introductions.  The cake designed by Create-A-Cake had an awesome topper….a DeLorean miniature! from Back to the Future…love it, so perfect for them since that’s the car Jen sat in while he proposed  ♥

 Check out a few pictures from their wedding day!

Jen was so fun to work with. Gorgeous.

We love the moms that hire us and the daughters we get to spend the wedding day with.  We’ve had the pleasure of seeing a mom help her daughter’s wedding day come to fruition a number of times and each time is amazing.  This wedding was no exception with mom helping her daughter plan a wedding from Colorado, this wedding came together beautifully. Once we met Pam, we couldn’t wait to meet Elizabeth and Vincent……especially since they are foodies and wine & beer connoisseurs………definitely after our own hearts!  We knew this was going to be a beautiful event and we couldn’t wait to capture this wedding day.   We started off the day by by meeting the girls at Studio Blazon in Rocky River and then we headed off to capture the bride getting into her dress.  Elizabeth was a vision and couldn’t help capturing  gorgeous bridal portraits. Their ceremony was at St. Ladislas in Westlake.  After  the beautiful ceremony, we headed off to Wade Lagoon with the newlyweds and the bridal party.  Once we got there,  we couldn’t believe how many bridal parties were there…..we knew it was a popular location, but I think at one time, we counted ten bridal parties….talk about getting crowded!  We had to think a little outside of the box and I’m pretty sure we captured some beautiful moments.  The Glidden House was our next destination for the reception which was catered by the Spice of Life Catering and Radio Active from Jerry Bruno Productions kept the house rockin’

Check out a few from this past weekend!

Bridal sessions are my favorite.....love this photograph of Elizabeth.

Gisella got this beautiful portrait of Vincent just before the ceremony.

Gisella is the best at capturing these moments......how cute is this?....checking to see where the groom is.

Loved capturing Josette and Craig’s wedding day!  We couldn’t wait to see this wedding day unfold.  You see, Josette’s mom, Ann, helped with all the arrangements since the couple lives out of town and she was so excited for her daughter to marry the love of her life!  Travel and destination was the theme for this wedding and with family and friends traveling from all over the states and as far as London the theme was perfect!  The morning started at their home and when we arrived, a full production was in gear from the girls getting their hair & makeup done – steaming the gorgeous bridal gown & veil -  to filling cups with rose petals.  Such a full house that welcomed us right in!  Once we captured Craig and Josette’s first sight, we headed off to the Lakewood Country Club for some bridal party and family pictures.  After the ceremony, we headed back to the country club to capture the cocktail hour.  The room and tables looked beautiful and the cupcake tower looked awesome from Main Street Cupcakes in Rocky River.  Yum!!  They had Scott from American Entertainment keeping the party going.. it’s great to see empty tables and a packed dance floor!  Check out how cute these two newlyweds are.

Josette was simply gorgeous.

....and Craig was awesome. Love this portrait of him.

what a great reception....and this is what I call hang time!

Love this photograph of Josette and Craig taken at the end of the night. Romantic.

Thomas and I would like to thank Josette, Craig and their families……all of you just rocked it!

Back in old Napoli, that’s amore! – Katherine and Roy’s Wedding Day

We’ve been waiting for this day for over a year and a half and had the best time getting to know Katherine & Roy.  From the start we knew this was going to be a great wedding, cool cars, family traditions, and even some fun entertainment.  We started off the day capturing both in Brunswick -Katherine and her girls at Creative Cuts, and Roy with the boy’s at their brother-in-law’s.  Once the vintage cars pulled up, we knew it was time to head to North Royalton’s Royal Redeemer Lutheran Church for the ceremony.  The church was a full house and filled with live music and much love for this couple.  Before the reception at Donauschwaben German American Cultural Center in Olmsted Falls. We stopped at Grand Pacific Junction for their creative session and had a blast with the bridal party and loved the bride and groom portraits.  And did we mention the cool vintage cars??!

Once we arrived at the hall, we met up with Kevin from Midnight Music who kept the evening going.  We saw another beautiful wedding cake from Michael Angelo’s Bakery and we can’t forget to mention the gorgeous bouquets from Kathy Wilhelmy Flowers, love the butterfly!  It was our first time at this hall and loved it! – lovely room, good food, and friendly staff – we hope to work there again.  The evening was lively with German dancing, Uncle Carl singing “That’s Amore” – to Roy proving to everyone that he is now an ex-Michigan State fan… O-H-I-O!

Katherine was absolutely gorgeous in her gown.

Love this portrait of Roy!

Cool cars and a cool couple.....doesn't get any better!

Love this shot of Kat and Roy!

We loved being a part of your wedding from start to finish – we can’t wait for what the future will bring you two!

Have a great time on your honeymoon!
