Abigail and Scott

Justin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:20:36 +0000

Abby and Scott’s wedding was such a blast to shoot. They were married at Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village and the reception was at The Union Club in Cleveland. The snow was coming down hard all day, but Abby, Scott and their bridal party were serious troopers and braved the cold and snow for some really fun shots. Their reception was really fun. The dance floor was packed all night.

Julie Hahn of Sugarbush Design shot with me. She did an amazing job, as always. I also had the pleasure of working with my buddy Nathan Migal of Imagen, who did the videography.

Congratulations Abby and Scott! Enjoy.

This shot is Julie’s.

Julie took this photo of Abby, Nathan and I working in the snow.

This is another great shot from Julie.

Once again, we were shooting in the snow. This time in Public Square. The Christmas lights made a beautiful backdrop.

Julie again.

Love this.

Lauren and Travis

I had a amazing time with Lauren and Travis while shooting their wedding. We couldn’t have had better weather. It was perfect.

The ceremony was at the Church of the Resurrection in Solon and the reception was at Signature of Solon. Between the ceremony and reception we took photos in Chagrin Falls.

Lauren, Travis and their huge bridal party were a lot of fun to work with. Kevin Chuey and I had a great time.

Here’s a few of my favorite shots.

Kevin took this one.

This one is Kevin’s as well.

Griffin’s Bar Mitzvah

Congratulations to Griffin on his Bar Mitzvah. He’s a very nice young man with a wonderful and fun family. The ceremony was at The Temple Tifereth Israel. We did family photos at the temple before the ceremony. The reception was at Beechmont Country Club in Beachwood. FLOW Entertainment came all the way from Chicago to MC and DJ this special event. As you will see in the photos, the party was off the chain. EVERYONE was dancing.

I had a great time working with the Davis family and all the guests. Congrats again to Griffin!

The food was amazing!

Griffin watching his reflection video, which was hilarious, by the way.

HANG ON!!

Amber and Chuck

Amber and Chuck’s engagement session was just a few weeks before their wedding, so their personalities and style was still really fresh in my memory. We had an amazing engagement session and I was really looking forward to their wedding.

The ceremony was at St. Colman Church in Cleveland. As soon as I walked in, I realized I was there two weeks earlier. After the ceremony, we took photos in the Flats. After the Flats, we went to the Foundation Room at the House of Blues for more photos. The receptions was at the Doubletree in Independence.

I had a great day with Amber and Chuck. Bert Wagner shot with me and captured many great moments.

Congratulations Amber and Chuck!

Great shot by Bert.

This is one of my favorite shots of the summer.

Mary and Craig

Mary and Craig are two of the most laid-back, fun couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I can’t recall even one small moment of stress for anyone at their wedding. They had such a beautiful day for a wedding. It was plenty warm, the sun was out , and everyone was having a great time. The wedding ceremony was at St. Colman Church in Cleveland. Between the ceremony and reception we took photos around the Flats. The reception was at Brennan’s Banquet Center in Cleveland. Ovation provided the entertainment and did a fantastic job.

Awesome wedding! Congratulations to Mary and Craig!

Boudoir shoot with Terra in the studio.

Amber and Chuck

Justin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 06:31:44 +0000

Amber and Chuck are complete naturals in front of the camera. We shot at Trinity Cathedral near downtown, and at the Velvet Tango Room in Tremont. Amazing weather, great locations and a stellar-looking couple made this a really fun shoot.

This spot in Tremont was cool. It’s darker outside than the photo suggests. The only light available came from a street lights.

The Velvet Tango Room is definitely a cool spot. Live jazz and a massive selection of great martinis. I had a “song bird” martini with Amber and Chuck after the shoot.

Kara and Chris

Justin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 06:11:35 +0000

Kara and Chris are such a fun couple. We took their engagement photos in downtown ChagrinFalls. The weather was perfect and the leaves were really at their peak color. We had a great time. I’m really looking forward to Kara and Chris’ wedding next summer.

Kristen and Chase

Justin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:59:11 +0000

Kristen and Chase were married on October 15 at St. John’s in Canton and the reception was at the McKinley Grand Hotel in Canton. Between the ceremony and reception we took photos at Walsh University.

Kristen and Chase are absolutely wonderful people and such a pleasure to be around. The bridal party was hillarious and a lot of fun as well.

Kristen and Chase had a great engagement session in the spring and I was really anticipating their wedding. We lucked out with a georgous fall day. The ball room at the McKinley Grand looked amazing. Bert and I set up the MEGAbooth in the hallway. The guests really enjoyed it.

Bert Wagner shot with me and did a fantastic job.

Here’s a few of my favorite shots.

Monica and Christopher

I had an amazing day with Monica and Chris at their wedding on October 14. They were married at St. Basil the Great in Brecksville and their reception was held at the Wyndham at Playhouse Square.

We took photos at the train depot in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Brecksville. It was an absolutely perfect fall day. The bridal party was a lot of laughes. I had a great time with everyone.

Congratulations to Monica and Christopher!
