Robert & Lisa's Catawba Wedding

Lisa Sas & Rob Brown had an amazing wedding at the beautiful historic
 Mon Ami Winery (http://www.monamiwinery.com/) on Catawba Island. 
 It was a fabulous wedding, beginning with the wedding party preparations at the historic Island House Hotel in Port Clinton.  The girls and I made a quick trip to photograph at  Marblehead Lighthouse, while the guys hung out
 getting some fun shots around the Port!  

The wedding ceremony was in  the beautiful,romantic wine cellar of the 
Mon Ami Winery.  It is such  a fabulous location for a romantic, unique wedding! 
We had planned to take some pictures at one of the island parks, but there was such much beauty at Mon Ami, that we all decided it would be crazy to leave!  
So, after enjoying the winery, it was off to the reception, lakeside, at Catawba Island Club (http://www.cicclub.com/). There's nothing like looking out over the sunset water as a couple takes there first married dance together!  It was so beautiful.
This wedding had the feel of a destination wedding, but was actually only an hour from Cleveland!

 
Mon Ami Winery-the perfect wedding, unique wedding location!

Rob & Lisa were such fun!

Jason & Michele Poelking's Wedding

Jason & Michele are one of those couples that have everyone telling me how wonderful they are!  Throughout the wedding their family and friends were extremely happy for them.  I kept hearing how much they deserved each other. Even in the Best Man's speech, as he laughed about how Jason was actually the "best man" that night and had been the Best Man for just about all their married friends...as he listed all their names.  It was apparent that these were two very special people to all their guest.  A special note...you may notice something a bit different about Michele's flowers.  Her father passed away a few years ago, and Michelle and her mother had one of his ties wrapped around her flowers, along with a special red rose in the center as a special memory of  her father.  
Even as I write this, it brings tears to my eyes.

Dave Wright and Sheena Dean are one of those couples that everyone loves!  Friendly, sweet and down to earth, these two have a bright and happy future together!  This is the cute couple you may have seen here before..... their Brown's Stadium engagement session caught just a little of their passion for the team!  We even made a stop to the stadium on their wedding day.   This was a fun wedding with a bridal party that had no problem trying some of  
Sheena's posing ideas! 
 I loved seeing a few of our old clients!!
Beautiful preparations at the Crown Plaza Hotel.

Wonderful make-up by  Anna Lee

Josh Applebaum & Michelle Zudic's Engagement

We spent a beautiful morning photographing one of our fabulous upcoming 2013 bridal couples, Michelle & Josh.  We had a lot of fun laughing at their adorable boxer and talking about all the wonderful things they have going on in their lives right now!  What great couple and we are so glad they could take the time to come up from Columbus to capture this 
skyline engagement session!
