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.

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.

St. Ladislas in Westlake, Ohio.

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!

Strongsville Sweethearts | Melissa and Michael’s Wedding

Wow…….what a way to start our wedding season!  Michael and Melissa just rocked it on their wedding day!  When they first met with us we knew they would be a blast to work with and they didn’t disappoint.  We started off the day by meeting Melissa and the girls at the Bella Capelli Salon and Spa in Westlake…….perfect name for the salon because the girls were bellissima!  While I was hanging out and taking pictures with the girls, Gisella met with Mike at his parents’ home in Strongsville.  The warmth of his family and friends was evident and Gisella captured some beautiful moments of Mike getting ready and his family.  Next up, was St. John Neuman’s church in Strongsville, for their ceremony and the family formals. After the beautiful ceremony with Father Andy Tuner, we headed to Baldwin Wallace and Coe Lake for some for bridal party pictures before we headed to La Centre Banquet Hall in Westlake.  A gorgeous venue, great food and Patrick, from Midnight Music, got the dance floor hoppin’ in no time.  Being from out of town, Mike and Melissa had a memorable wedding here in their home state.  We would like to thank Mike and Melissa and their families………everyone was such a pleasure to work with!

Check out a few of their pictures!

Love this shot of Mike and Melissa at La Centre

Have a great time on your honeymoon!
