Bridal and Beyond is a fantastic resource for brides (and grooms) that offers everything from bridal fairs to workshops to wedding planning services. I’m excited to be conducting a workshop on how to have the “picture perfect” wedding, with the emphasis on the word “picture”, of course. This workshop is for B&Gs that haven’t booked...
It couldn’t have been a more perfect day for family photos in the park. I met up with Kelly, Vito and their two children, Nino and Isabel, in the Brecksville Reservation. The area we shot in had a lot of options, but the most popular areas were the ones with a combination of small rocks,...
Clairise Williams is a very talented singer in the process of recording a gospel album, and needed some photographs for the cover. I really thought it was important for Clarise’s music to be playing during the session. I wanted to make sure the photos matched the mood of the music. When we put the CD...
My neighbors, Kenny and Cherie, own a beautiful historic building in downtown Willoughby. At street level it’s an Arabica Coffee House, but the upstairs is unoccupied, and the perfect venue for small parties and events. The interior walls are brick with several tall, arched windows. The floor is all original hardwood, and the view is...
The best thing about my job is every shoot is a new adventure. No two locations or couples are the same. Dawn and Scott are no exception. Instead of the usual engagement shoot, they decided to mix it up a little and wear their wedding-day attire. Their wedding is next week, so this shoot was...
Barb and Chuck were married at the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club on August 8. When Pete and I arrived at the club, the rain was coming down hard. Luckily, the ceremony could be moved from outside to the covered porch. The rain stopped about a half hour before the ceremony began, and it turned out...
Andrea and Kris tied the knot on Saturday, July 24 at Royal Redeemer in North Royalton. The reception was at Mossimo da Milano in Cleveland.
Andrea and Kris were so much fun to spend the day with. They were totally laid back and just wanted to enjoy the moment and have a good time. The...
Loudonville is a hall. It should have taken about 2 and a half hours to get there, but because I view the sign that says “65mph” as more of a challenge than a limit, I got there in 2 hours.
So what’s so special about Loudonville that made it well worth me getting up at 6:00 am...
Phoebe and Ryan were married on May 23 at the Church of the Covenant in Cleveland Heights. They had a great e-session, so I knew I was working with a wonderful couple that like to smile. The reception was at the Renaissance Hotel in Public Square. I’ve shot a number of events there and it’s always a top-notch experience. It’s amog the classiest...
Congratulations to Rebecca and Neal! They were married on May 22 at the Lantern Court part of the Holden Arboretumin Kirtland Hills. It’s really an amazing spot for a wedding. There is an incredible old mansion with a courtyard in the rear. The entire estate is filled beautiful land and waterscapes.
Rebecca and Neal had a small, intimate wedding in...
