Olmsted Falls Wedding | Brittany + Bill

Leave a reply

With vintage style in mind, the historical downtown of Olmsted Falls was the perfect location for Brittany and Bill’s wedding. The Grand Pacific Chapel, built in 1851 as Methodist Episcopal Church, now serves as a non-denominational ceremony site for Cleveland weddings.

We did the post ceremony photo shoot by the water nearby and then walked around the historic places of downtown for additional photos of Olmsted Falls.

The attending wedding guests signed a Jenga piece for the newlyweds for them to remember all who celebrated with them at the reception.

Kristen + Tad’s Cleveland Wedding

Leave a reply

Rain didn’t dampen the joy on Kristen and Tad’s autumn wedding day.  After the ceremony at Grace Church in Middleburg Heights, we headed to Wallace Lake in Berea, where Kristen and Tad had their first date and Tad had proposed.  I think that the drizzle stopped just for Kristen.

Jourdan + Jake Cleveland Wedding

High school sweethearts, Jourdan and Jake are soul mates. The love of each other’s lives. From their son Jace with Jake on the alter to Grandpa giving Jourdan a last kiss before going down the aisle, the love of family and friends also shined throughout their wedding day.

Mike’s Cleveland 9th Pier Proposal

Leave a reply

I enjoy photographing engagement sessions for couples. When Mike was ready to propose to his beautiful girlfriend, Erica, he wanted me to photograph them getting engaged. How exciting is that to be asked to capture the moment when someone asks the love of their life, “Will you marry me?”

I love photographing such a lovely family wedding. From Marie’s uncle officiating the mass at St. Patrick’s in Cleveland to family fun at the reception at St. Dementrios in Rocky River, Marie and Brad’s Northeast Ohio wedding went off without a hitch.

Candace + Chad: Cleveland Engagement Session

Leave a reply

Another beautiful summer evening in downtown Cleveland. Perfect night for Candace and Chad’s engagement session. When they booked me to shoot their wedding at Conrad Botzum Farmstead for this October, they mentioned they wanted to do their engagement session in downtown Cleveland-a definite contrast from the farm. Well, this session is VERY Cleveland!

When Jourdan mentioned that Jake proposed to her at Edgewater Beach, I knew that would be the perfect place for their engagement session. And of course they had to bring the new love in their lives, little Jace.
