Salona + Ed | Cleveland Flats Cocktail Party Wedding

Salona + Ed came to me a few weeks before their courthouse wedding, at the time, the COVID restrictions were still in place so there were no extra people allowed in during the ceremony. I’m so glad these two decided to honor the day with portraits afterward and of their cocktail wedding party! Salona shared with me that this was the first event for them and most of their friends attending, so it felt really-extra special to be able to gather in such a lovely space, on such a lovely evening for what she called “the happiest day ever”.

What a way to ease into the craziness of 2021 with these two gorgeous humans!

Also, we haven’t been to Cleveland in so long, what a lively and beautiful spot on the water in the Flats…this day was literally perfect!

Christine + Dan | Cleveland Cultural Garden Wedding

There is nothing better than a ceremony outside among the trees and the singing birds. After their sweet vows and some time loving on their people, we hit up the best of Cleveland for the sights and finished off the day at Windows on the River!
Christine + Dan have such a softness about them, a quiet and sweet love that spoke volumes without words. We loved spending the day with them, talking about our common interests and sharing laughs with their big group of fun friends! It was the best of days in Cleveland this summer!

Jackie + Nick | Downtown Cleveland Wedding

This was one of our favorite days of the year for photo making. This day was full of all the magical things we love to shoot. Jackie and Nick picked this rad location in Gordon Square, we wandered around with ample time to shoot a ton of portraits and they were so chill and relaxed. We grabbed a drink at Happy Dog with their crew before heading back out into the tucked away little green space we found behind some old buildings.

Chateau Michelle in Canton, Ohio is a unique little space for intimately hosting loved ones for a wedding. Julia + Juan Luis brought guests all the way from Spain to this little vintage house for a close-knit celebration of their love. Lisa and Lauren documented their day beautifully, telling the story through so many beautiful details and moments. Among our favorites are the bird's eye view of the ceremony, the donut tower, the most exciting bouquet toss and the largest family photo ever!!

Congratulations Julia + Juan Luis!

 

Kendel + Paul | Autumn Vintage Wedding

Meeting Kendel + Paul was so refreshing. These two are so young and full of life and appreciation for each other. Just starting a life together, renovating their new home, moving in together, planning a wedding; these could be a source of stress for most couples but these two took every chance to truly celebrate in every way they could. Kendel donning her Grandmother's rose gold, silk wedding gown planned an effortlessly elegant and vintage inspired day that was just so cute, so romantic and so them! Thankful we got to be a part of it!

Jen + Tyler | Ariel International Wedding

 

I hardly know where to start with Jen + Tyler's wedding. They had their dogs, their motorcycle, a Star Wars theme, a rooftop ceremony...it was basically the most badass wedding day ever. Their wedding choices aside, Jen + Tyler are the coolest kids on the block...if you're like us and you're into video games, comics and Star Wars, you'd agree! 
Their day was SO emotional and so special to watch. Their friends and families poured their hearts into their parts of the day and it was so obvious (as you will see below) that these two really honed in on celebrating this day their own way and making sure it was special. 

 

Molly + Ryan | Woodland + Theater Wedding

Working with Molly + Ryan was a dream. Molly is an insanely talented graphic designer/artist and Ryan works in the film industry. They definitely got what we were about. Their engagement session was killer but man, this wedding was a knockout. Together they planned a perfect blend of their personalities. They share a reverence for nature which led to a private vow reading along Rocky River and John Muir readings during the ceremony.  The setting for the ceremony and reception was a beautiful, full-of-character old theater in the heart of Cleveland complete with the most whimsical, free-spirited details to match Molly's taste. She designed their stationery suite and featured her uncle's band! We couldn't have had a better time documenting this lovely story for these two!
