Kevin and Brianna's wedding was full of fairy-tale details and moments!  Kevin made sure this was a very special day for Brianna, his soon-to-be wife, from horse-drawn carriage, same day video and surprise fireworks!  It was truly a very day between the two newlyweds and everyone there!

Put-N-Bay Engagement of Michelle & Joe

Engagements are usually lots of fun for us and our clients.  But this one was more than a photo/life- style engagement, it was an adventure! It was a beautiful afternoon and we all met at the Miller Ferry Line to start the session.  With amazing sunshine and blue skies, we were all were excited to be hitting Put-N-Bay!  A  six seat gulf cart and away we went! Stopping for nice light and flowers, we were on a roll! Before we knew it was time to meet with Michelle's good friend and bridesmaid, Amanda. She was the awesome friend that came along to care for their sweet little pup!  That's when we realized our cart was soooo slow! Finally making our way back to the ferry line we traded the cart out and found the new one to be no better.  Oh well, we were having fun (in slow motion). 

After a few cool spots we stopped for lakeside drinks at the dock!  Lots of laughs later, we realized we were not going to make it back on the ferry very easily! So we opted for the Jet Express and stayed for some of the softer evening light....though we would have loved to stay even longer! So much to see and so many options for great

 photography with such a great couple!

Special thanks to Amanda, bridesmaid of the year and my girlfriend, Beth, who came and picked us up at the Express and brought us back to our cars at the Miller Line!  So nice to have great friends and one that lives close by!  Also, thanks to Joe and Michelle for being such troopers!

La Centre Indian Fusion Wedding of Arathi & Charlie

I met with Arathi and Charlie 2 years ago and I have been looking forward to their wedding ever since.  Their wedding was what she referred to as a "fusion of Indian and Catholic".   Every detail of the day was gorgeous,  meaningful and well thought out.  Arathi wore her mothers wedding Sari for the Indian ceremony, while Charlie wore a traditional Indian Sherwani. It began with the Baraat (groom's entrance), dancing, washing of his feet and the welcome garland for Charlie. The bridesmaids escorted Charlie and then Arathi and her parents to the Mandap. The ceremony was wonderful as each Indian tradition was explained to the non-Indian guest.  After the Indian ceremony they said their vows and exchanged rings in a Catholic ceremony.  Both ceremonies were filled with so much love and admiration for each other and their families. Following the wedding, they changed clothes photographed around the Cleveland area!  The reception at La Centre, was stunning with up lighting that changed when the dancing began. The Mandap was so grand in the reception for the bride and groom and set the tone for an elegant reception.

This couple and wedding were wonderful. Such a joy to photograph and work with.  I could go on and on about the different details and the beautiful people.  Thank you Arathi and Charlie for letting us share and capture your day!

We had great vendors to work as well! Check them out...
