Mike & Coletta's Vermillion Wedding

The day began with  beautiful sunshine and a cool breeze.  We were excited to be photographing Coletta and Mike's  wedding in the quaint and beautiful lakeside town of Vermillion!  Our adorable bride Coletta, had put so many of her own touches into their wedding.  Not only did she make all the flower bouquets, but also her gorgeous antique brooch wedding bouquet. Her dress was custom made with a bit of her mother and grandmother's dress incorporated into the design.  But, the sunshine held out only till just after the wedding and then the storms and wind moved in, making it impossible to take advantage of the lakeside beauty for pictures.  But, that didn't dampen the spirits of this lively wedding party and we found nice alternatives to capture part of their wedding day.  Later, we  were able to battle the wind and catch a few lakeside pictures,  just before heading into the reception!  The reception greeted us with the most amazing candy and desert tables, that they had a room all to themselves!  There were containers for all the guest to help themselves create their own custom candy box or bag.  Such a sweet couple with a wedding that seemed to really fit their personalities!  

Tim & Kate's Wedding

After having such a fun engagement session with Tim & Kate, I was anxiously anticipating their shabby chic wedding in late summer!  I was certainly not disappointed...at every turn there was something fabulous and unique!  After a morning at Charles Scott Salon, we headed to The Ritz for a gorgeous background for all the preparations.  What an elegant way to start a wedding!  Then we were off to Olmsted Falls wedding chapel... quaint and beautiful and just the perfect setting for Kate and Tim.  Photographing the two of them was so heart warming.  The way they look at each other, and how Tim makes Kate laugh and smile, put everyone at ease. It really was a beautiful and touching wedding.  With the reception just a few doors down, we stayed in the area and captured fun images of the natural surroundings, as well as the adorable shops in Olmsted Falls. The reception was great with awesome entertainment by Audio Extremes ...which I recommend and unbelievable flowers by Petitti Garden Centers in Avon! Two really fabulous vendors! Tim and Katie's families were wonderful! Thank you for making us feel like one of the guest!

Ken & Amanda Whynott's Wedding

What a fun filled day with Ken and Amanda this past Saturday!  As you will probably be able to tell from the pictures, this wedding party was "game on" when it came to new locations for photography!  With an early morning wedding, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful (yet a bit windy) weather and capture all sides of Cleveland!  At one point, we were photographing Ken and Amanda and looked behind us to find the wedding party up on a graffiti covered building.  I'm still not sure how the groomsmen talked the bridesmaids into going up those steps!  It all made for a great afternoon!  Later at the reception, Amanda had created a special slideshow of images of her and her father as she grew up.  It was such a great idea for the father-daughter  dance!  Beautiful wedding Amanda and Ken!
