Bryan & Amy Hollingsworth's Wedding

From the moment Amy and  I spoke on the phone, I knew she was as sweet as they come!  Laid back with a smile that never stops, Amy's wedding was full of  happiness and ease!  Bryan made her smile even bigger, every time she glanced his way. It was wonderful being with the two of them on this special day.  We started at Charles Scott Salon and then headed to Amy's parent's home.  What a fun place that was!  Full of fun and personality that there just wasn't a shortage of locations to shoot!  Thanks to Amy's father for pulling the Harley out of the garage!!  

The wedding was held in Bay Village and despite the massive winds at the lake, Bryan and Amy were up for the challenge!  I'm so glad they were!  With a beautiful beach themed wedding, it was the perfect picture location. On to the the reception where every table had a unique centerpiece with awesome seashells, flowers and plants!  Every detail was considered and was so beautiful. Congratulations Amy and Bryan!

Anthony & Burgundy had such a fun and unique wedding, filled with beautiful details.  The whole underlying theme was not only gorgeous, but designed to have an amazing experience with all their family and friends!  Friday evening following the rehearsal in Little Italy's Holy Rosary Church, Anthony and Burgundy held an Italian celebration at the Alta House.  It was a fantastic evening of bocce  ball  and high spirits for all the guest they invited.

Preparations at the Wyndam Hotel  in the presidential suite was the perfect beginning to the special day. After  Wade Park, the Cultral Garden, Little Italy and of course downtown Cleveland for a few city shots, everyone anxiously heading to the reception for the start of a very cool evening with a lovely cocktail hour.  When the doors opened to the reception,  many guest caught their breath at the beautiful decorations and lighting. Anthony surprised his beautiful new wife with fuchsia up-lighting that really helped accent all beautiful details!   Rock The House  DJ and lighting was top notch!  They made sure that no one was seated all night, with crazy, fun  ways to get everyone involved  and an amazing light show!  Anthony and Burgundy knew just what to do to have a fabulous day/weekend with their families and friends!!

Tom & Allison Dirham's Wedding!

Seems every wedding that I begin to post, I start thinking about the first time I met with the couple.There's always something that stands out in my mind.  This wedding is no exception.  Tom and Allison had met several photographers and knew all the right questions to ask.  We laughed our way through some of them, but at the end I knew I wanted to be their photographer! They knew what they liked and what they wanted and I loved that! 

Allison, one of her bridesmaids and I, spent an afternoon picking out locations for her wedding photography.  We had so much fun and so many options that it was hard to narrow them down! As we were finishing up, she showed me a beautiful private barn that she really liked.  We decided to knock on the owner's door and ask permission to come back on her wedding day. The owner was wonderful and was happy to have Allison back! We managed to sort through all our ideas and captured some beautiful moments around Hudson!  What a beautiful city !  The gorgeous flowers are from Art and Flowers.
