Jennifer and Regan were married on October 8 at St. Christopher Church in Rocky River. After the ceremony we went to the West Side Market and the Flats for photos. The reception was held at the English Oak Room in Tower City. The room was decorated beautifully with red uplighting.
Jennifer and Regan were so laid-back all day. They were so much fun to be around and photograph, as was the bridal party. Marisa Finomore shot this wedding with me. She did an amazing job. Here are some of my favorites.
This shot is Marisa’s
This shot is Marisa’s as well.
The shoppers at the West Side Market were clapping and cheering as Jennifer and Regan walked through.
The room looked spectacular!

Brooke and Ara were married on October 1 at St. Peter’s Church in Canton. Last fall I had an awesome engagement session with Brooke and Ara, so I was really looking forward to their wedding.
After their ceremony, we went back to the same park that we shot the engagement session at because it’s a great spot for photos and it happened to be very close. The reception was at Windsor Hall in Canton. The reception was a blast. The dance floor was rock’n the entire time.
Brooke and Ara were such a pleasure to be with all day.
Congratulations to Brooke and Ara. Here’s a few of my favorite shots.

Megan and Jonathan were married on September 24 at St. Augustine Church in Barberton. The reception was at Portage Country Club.
I photographed Megan and the girls getting ready and Kevin Chuey photographed Jonathan and the guys. Between the ceremony and reception, we took photos at The University of Akron because Megan and Jonathan went there. The university offers a lot of great backgrounds.
The reception was really fun. There were a number of really nice speeches and heartfelt moments. The guests really liked to party and have a good time. The dance floor packed from beginning to end.
Kevin and I enjoyed our time with Megan, Jonathan and the bridal party. Here’s a few shots from their wedding.

Jamie and Tamar were married on September 17 at Cuyahoga Valley Church in Broadview Hts., and the reception was at Imperial Event Center and Ballroom in Broadview Hts. Between the ceremony and reception, we made our way over the the Old Arcade for some indoor photos, then over to Wade Oval for some outdoor shots.
Jamie and Tamar had a really beautiful ceremony that I felt was very personalized. Jamie, Tamar and their bridal party was a blast to work with all day.
The reception was a lot of fun as well. Jamie and her dad started off their dance as normal, but broke out into a montoge of different songs and choreographed (semi) dances. No one expected it and everyone got a big laugh.
Tony Griffie shot with me. His lighting set-ups are always top notch and his files always have an impecible quality to them. He’s also a lot of fun to shoot with.
Here’s a few of my favorite pics. Congratulations Jamie and Tamar!
The next two are Tony’s.

The other night I came home from a wedding and Chris (groom), Varun (groom to be) and Charlie (no link yet) were on my back porch eating pizza and drinking beer (if only every post-wedding Saturday were like this). Maria, my wife Anna, and several other friends/family members were at a different Maria’s bachelorette party. I told Chris that I was going to have his and Maria’s wedding photos on my blog soon. He let me know just how anxious Maria was to see some pix. I laughed with a tiny bit of fear, but finally, I have some photos for Maria to look at.
Maria and Chris were married on the much coveted date of 9/10/11 (brides know what I’m talking about). I’ve known Maria for about 6 years and I had the pleasure of meeting Chris after they were engaged. We had a great time shooting the engagement session, so I was really excited about their wedding. I was also looking forward to it because a lot of people I knew were going to be there, and I know how the Italians party. It turns out that Chris’ family knows how to party too!
The ceremony was at St. Noel Church in Willoughby and the reception was at Borally’s in Richmond Hts. My buddies Jeremy Rich and Christian Dela Vega from Selective Sound spun the tunes. All the guests had a blast! The food was great, the music was great, and most importantly, Maria, Chris and their bridal party were awesome.
I started off shooting at John Roberts in Mayfield Hts. After the ceremony, we went to the Halle Building downtown because the weather was iffy. Then we headed to Willoughby to shoot at some great locations around my studio.
Bert Wagner shot with me and did an excellent job, as always.
Congratulations Maria and Chris! Can’t wait to see you guys soon (hopefully, no punching).
Bert covered the guys getting ready and snapped this shot of Chris.
OMG! LOL!
No. You’re the man!

Janna and Chase were married on September 4 at the Old Courthouse in Cleveland. The reception was at Marriott at Key Center.
I was looking forward to Janna and Chase’s wedding ever since their engagement session in Kent earlier this summer. They are a really fun couple, and their bridal party was a lot of fun too.
Lance Anderson shot with me. The first two photos of Chase are his.

Cynthia and Joe were married on August 26 at Windows on the River in the Flats. They had a beautiful Native American Ceremony. Cynthia and Joe have a couple rivalries going on. They both play hockey and are fans of different teams as well as a pretty serious Ohio State/Michigan rivalry. It made for a lot of fun at the reception.
Cynthia and Joe were so enjoyable to photograph. They had big smiles all day and were all about having a good time. Julie Hahn shot with me and captured some really amazing moments.
Congratulations Cynthia and Joe!
Julie covered the guys getting ready and took the next two shots.
I tried taking a bad photo of Cynthia just to see if it could be done. Nope.

Stephanie and Heath were married on August 27 at St. Ignatius of Antioch and the reception was at House of Blues. In between the ceremony and reception we took photos at the West Side Market and Superior Viaduct Bridge. We also had some time for photos inside the Foundation Room at the HoB. Before I left, we went out to E4th an took a few night shots.
Kevin and I had a great time with Stephanie and Heath. They are such a fun and laid-back couple. It was a real pleasure getting to know them.
Great shot by Kevin.

Erin and Rick were married on August 20 at United Methodist Church in Mentor. The reception was at Quail Hollow Country Club in Concord. Kevin Chuey shot with me, and once again, got some amazing shots.
Erin, Rick and their bridal party were so much fun to be around. We had a lot of laughs taking photos in downtown Painsville.
Quail Hallow did an incredible job with the reception and food. The DJ Crew played great music and had the guests dancing all night. It was an awesome wedding all around.
Great shot by Kevin.

It was a pleasure working with Monica and Chris. They were fun and playful and completely natural. We took photos at Mentor Headlands in the evening about an hour before the sun set. I’m looking forward to Monica and Chris’ wedding in a few weeks.
