Meghann & TJ's Cleveland Rainforest Wedding Reception

Meghann and TJ's relationship had, as she puts it, "a friendship first" beginning. From their friendship a beautiful and loving relationship and now marriage blossomed.  They were married at St. Christopher's Church in Rocky River.  Once the ceremony was over...Meghann wanted to use the mustang as their "get away" car, TJ doesn't drive a stick shift......so what does a liberated woman do?  She drives it herself, wedding dress and all!  TJ helped Meghann into the car as the wedding guest clapped.  Then just before jumping in the passenger's seat, TJ gave an enthusiastic fist bump to the cheering crowd! It was adorable.

Before venturing on to the reception at The Cleveland Rain Forest, the couple chose to go to  Huntington Beach and Park for their pictures. It was a special place for them growing up and when they were dating and made perfect sense to capture their "best day" there!

Once we arrived at the Rainforest, we captured a few quite moments with the couple and then enjoyed the evening with dinner and great dancing!  It really was a magical place to have a reception and perfect for this sweet and easy going couple!
Have fun on your Alaska honeymoon!!  Thank you!

Caity & Ron's Cleveland Yacht Club Wedding

Selecting just a few pictures for Caity and Ron's wedding preview was difficult today.  Such a beautiful wedding and awesome people.  We loved hearing the funny stories at the reception of how they met...football coach and teacher....they are just beautiful together.  Better yet, was her sister's toast to the couple...can't even go there, 
but we were all in stitches laughing!
The wedding ceremony was in Avon Lake with the reception at the elegant Cleveland Yacht Club in Rocky River.  Caity wanted to stay in the Avon Lake area for pre-wedding pictures and that was perfect!  Starting the day with preparations at the awesome David Scott Beauty Bar in Avon (which I highly recommend, just beautiful inside), set the tone for a relaxed and elegant day. Once all the girls arrived back at Caity's parents home, they were greeted with a box of stunning flowers, uniquely presented in a beautiful and personalized package from Life In Bloom!
 Love her work, another vendor I highly recommend!  Also the invitations etc. were perfectly designed by Type Twenty Seven.  Such high quaility work!
 With family and wedding party pictures at the Peter Miller House Museum, it provided a stunning "first look" and such warm and genuine family portraits as well!  
Love the idea for family portraits in a more natural setting!  
After the ceremony it was off to the Cleveland Yacht Club for the start of the reception with an outdoor cocktail hour.  The club looked fabulous with the blue and white nautical details.  Nothing was missing, it was a lovely and happy evening! 
Congrats to Caity and Ron!!
