The Club at Hillbrook-Chagrin Falls, Katrina & Nathan gorgeous wedding!

The Club at Hillbrook is a beautiful Tudor style mansion, that host some of the most beautiful and intimate weddings in the area. Photographing a loving and fun couple in this amazing location made for a fantastic array of wedding pictures!  The location fit their personalities and style perfectly.

Nathan proposed to Katrina in San Diego (her hometown), where she had always dreamed of getting married.  It was a beautiful grassy cliff that looked out over the ocean.  Nathan had her parents and best friend, photographing the proposal, while hiding in the bushes!  Soooo romantic and thoughtful!

Their wedding had a unique twist to it!  They opted for a more intimate and personal wedding ceremony and dinner. By inviting 50 guest for the vows and dinner, they were able to share stories, toast and chat among themselves, laughing and crying throughout the dinner.  Then later in the evening the reception opened up to a much larger crowd! After lots of dancing and fun they exited the reception to a sparkler lit farewell!!  

Beautiful flowers and background of the wedding ceremony were by

Lowe's Greenhouse, they were stunning!

Practicing her vows..that were amazing..

These adorable signs were made by good friends for the couple!

Loved their sweet and touching "first look"!

Nothing is more important on a wedding day, than capturing the relationship of the couple and their family and friends.  Katrina and Nathan wore their feelings on their "sleeves", absolutely beautiful! haha couldn't help myself!

We did a "same day" slide show for Nathan and Katrina's guest.

Will & Melissa's Wedding

Despite it being a super busy week...I wanted to be sure to at least get a few images posted for this sweet couple!  Dating since early high school years, they fit together like flowers and water!  Melissa is petite and full of spunk, while Will is level headed and fun! They married at St. Paul Lutheran Church...actually John and I's home church!  Always, nice to work with Pastor Young! After the ceremony we were fortunate to be able to incorporate Will's cool vintage truck once again in their pictures!  It was so much fun during their engagement session and even more in their wedding!  

Happy honeymooning Melissa & Will!

Lauren & Brad's Summer Wedding

     Lauren and Brad.. as she describes, "are an easy going couple".  Lauren has a smile that never stops and when she looks at Brad it seems to be contagious for him. The two of them are beautiful together!  They have a bit of an usual story.  Brad's brother and Lauren's sister are married...to each other.  Lauren's sister and Brad's brother, both mentioned in their speeches, that their siblings wanted everything that they did, the speeches kept us all laughing. But, sure enough they did follow in their foot steps....
     After Lauren and Brad were maid-of-honor and best man in their sibling's wedding, they began working at the same restaurant.  They spent hours after work watching the stars and taking long walks.  Through the 5 years they have been together, there have been medical issues and suprises, but through it all, they have fallen more and more in love. It's always wonderful to share in the wedding of two special people and watch as they show their love and happiness to all their family and friends! Happy honeymooning Lauren, Brad and Paige!
