Bert Wagner and I started out at the Marriott getting photos of the gals and guys getting ready. After the ceremony, we had enough time to travel to a couple locations for photos. First, we took photos in an alley near E4. It has a lot of brick, some graffiti and a few cool doorways. Then we went to Wade Oval to finish up the shooting. There were probably five other bridal parties there, but everyone had enough space to get the shots they wanted.

It’s not uncommon for the B&G to get worn down after a couple hours of shooting. But Tiffany and Marc were excited about photography and in it for the long-haul. Although I think they were both ready for cocktail hour.

The reception was at the Marriott. JR from Selective Sound did an amazing job with the up-lighting all around the room and the music. The lighting really changes the mood of the room and gets people ready to party. It also looks great in photographs. Selective Sound is one of my favorite Entertainment companies to work with because everything is always organized and professional and music is always awesome.

Even after a long day of shooting, Tiffany and Marc were willing to do just a little more, so we headed outside and took a couple night-shots.

Bert and I had a great time with Tiffany and Marc.

The very first click of the day was a keeper

It was an absolutely gorgeous day for Rebecca and Gary’s wedding. The weather was perfect for their partially outdoor reception in Deluca’s huge pavilion.

Rebecca and Gary are really fun people and made the absolute most of their day. While shooting in a beautiful park near Vermilion, we got the word that the limo had some mechanical problems and another one was being sent out. Everyone laughed at the situation, and we even got a pretty funny photo as a result. We made it to the reception in plenty of time and the night went perfectly. The dancing was nonstop from beginning to end and Rebecca and Gary were out there the whole time.

I had a blast with Rebecca and Gary.

Their big day is 9/10/11. I’m looking forward to it.

Laura and Edward are a really fun couple and I’m really looking forward to their wedding.

The ceremony and reception was at Pine Ridge Country Club. I love shooting there because the ballroom is beautifully designed and decorated and there isn’t a bad angle for me. It’s really one of my favorite halls to shoot at.

Nick Costa and Bill Pirie provided the entertainment. They do an amazing job together. Every bride to be should check them out. It’s a unique act that everyone will talk about for a long time.

Catherine and Jamie had a beautiful ceremony. Afterward, I rode with the bridal party on the Retro Rider to Acacia Country Club in Beachwood for photos and a chance to cool off. After that we went to Claddagh Irish Pub in Legacy Village to kill some time and have some fun.

It was a blast hanging out with such a laid-back group of people. Catherine and Jamie were all laughs and smiles all day. It was an awesome wedding and I’m thankful to have been a part of it.

MONEY SHOT!

This is the crazy kind of stuff the Retro Rider (or beer) makes you do.

Congratulations to Maressa and Alex!

This was a really fun wedding to photograph  because  everyone was so laid back and ready to have a good time. A motorcycle officer let us park in front of the Rock Hall (for 10 minutes), then he let Caroline and John take a photo on his bike. The bridal party was a lot of laughs, especially the ladies. I really enjoyed being a part of this wedding.

Congratulations Caroline and John!
