Mike asked to Erica to marry him on the 9th Street Pier in downtown Cleveland. The months of wedding planning went quickly and the big day arrived. Almost 400 guests, from as far as Italy, were to attend the ceremony at St. Francis of Assisi in Gates Mills on a beautiful day in June. A lovely wedding filled with family and faith.
Ceremony: St. Francis of Assisi, Gates Mills, Ohio
Reception: Hilton Double Tree, Beachwood, Ohio
Florist: Miklus Florist, Mayfield Hts, Ohio
DJ: Nick D’Bella, Cleveland, Ohio
Second Camera: Ryan Durdella
Erica’s dad mentioned to me that there was a tradition of “Italian” fireworks before sending off his daughter to the wedding ceremony at the church.
After the wedding ceremony, we took a drive to Cleveland Cultural Gardens and Cleveland Museum of Art’s Wade Oval for some creative photos before kicking off the reception.
