Lianne & Augustine

May 24, 2014 was an unbelievably beautiful day for Lianne and Augustine's wedding.  We started at the Hilton in Fairlawn to do some stunning portraits of Lianne. and then off to the beautiful St. Sebastians church. 

Everything was perfect from the vintage gown to the beautiful bride and handsome groom.

 

The wedding theme was very vintage so we did a few photos that would evoke that kind of vision.  Isn't she absolutely beautiful!

The new Mr. and Mrs. outside St. Sebastian's Church in Fairlawn.  Then we were off to Hale Farm for the reception.  The weather was so beautiful that day and there were many locations for photo opportunities.

Capping off the evening with dinner, dancing and smores.  Thank you to Lianne and Augustine for allowing me to share your wedding day.

Jacqui & Rob's Wedding

 The bride was beautiful, the groom handsome and everything came together to create the perfect wedding day.

 

Getting ready is always a great opportunity to capture wonderful images.  

Of course Rob and his groomsmen were getting ready in their own way and having lots of fun.

Cleveland Public Library was an amazing place for bridal photos.  The architecture was the perfect backdrop.

 Thank you Jacqui and Rob for allowing me the opportunity to create a photographic diary of your wedding day.   Thank you Cleveland Public Library for being such a wonderful institution and allowing us access and thank you City Club Cleveland for a fabulous reception venue.

Walden Wedding . . . how cool is that!

On September 7th, Abby and Craig exchanged vows at the amazing Walden Inn in Aurora, Ohio and I was flattered to have been chosen as their photographer.  As a wedding venue Walden Inn is second to none.  Beautiful surroundings and attentive service made this a wedding destination delight.  

Abby and Craig choose a garden wedding surrounded by nature and formal gardens. 

Happy faces abound . . . the groom and bridal gents toast to the upcoming vows before the ceremony.

Abby was stunning as she was preparing for the walk down the aisle in the luxurious bridal suite.

 

Following the ceremony everyone ventured out to the beautiful meadows for some fun bridal party photos.  The weather was spectacular that day and the meadow was beginning to change colors.

Walden also boasts a world class equestrian center full of meadows, barns and riding arenas and during the reception some of the horses were brought out for the guests to enjoy.

Abby was great and up for anything photographic.  The light in the hayloft was unbelievable that day and Abby posed for this stunning portrait.  Doesn't get much better than that!

The gardens at Walden provided amazing photo opportunities as you can see by this photo of Abby nestled in the fountain grass backlit by a fabulous setting sun.

Stunning portrait of Abby and ring details.

Everyone had a great time at the reception and cheered Craig and Abby as they were introduced.

And to top off an unbelievably awesome day . . . the bride and groom are serenaded by Jeff Timmons of the band 98 Degrees!!! 

 

After the fun and festivities were over all that was left were good wishes, wilting flowers and gently worn bridesmaids shoes . . .

Thank you Abby and Craig for allowing me to photograph and share your wedding day.  It is one I will never forget.  Best wishes!
