Krystal and Neil's Beautiful Wedding Day

April 10th 2011 was a glorious weather day in Cleveland, Ohio and just happened to coincide as the wedding day of Krystal Flowers and Neil Finfrock.  The ceremony and reception were held at the stunning Windows On The River on the west bank of the Cleveland Flats, but before the ceremony we ventured out on a photo journey to capture the fun and romance of the day.

Our first stop was a little doorway that just oozed elegance . . . and was the perfect backdrop for a formal bridal photo.  From there we stopped by the Old Arcade and took advantage of the marvelous architecture.

 

I learned that Neil was a "spirited" Steelers Fan and documented his tribute to them.  Needless to say we did not do any photos at Cleveland Browns Stadium.    

From the Arcade we traveled to Voinovich Park, Rock Hall and Science Center area . . . always a perfect venue for pictures.

 

We took lots of fun and memorable photographs and then we were off to the most important event of the day . . . the ceremony of Krystal and Neil.  It was just a beautiful venue, ceremony and reception.  The flowers were beautiful (www.CreationsbyLynn.com), the cake was beautiful, the bride was stunning and the groom was handsome . . . what could be better.

As the sun set over a wonderful day we captured one last memorable photograph of the bride and groom.

Thanks for taking the time to share Krystal and Neil's Wedding Day Photo Journey.

2010 Wedding Season Comes to an End

2010 was a fabulous wedding season with an abundance of beautiful brides, handsome grooms and fabulous photographs.  I have included a few of those wedding stories to share with everyone.

One of the most memorable weddings this year was held June 5th at the beautiful Mastropietro Winery in Berlin Center, Ohio.  You may recall that this was the day that a tornado went through the area bringing along torrential rains for much of the day. 

Although, initially there was some concern, not one person stressed out about the weather.  The bride and bridesmaids took off their shoes and went barefoot as did many of the guests.  It was a little wet but everyone had a great time.

The weather did not dampen the excitement of the day for Meghen.  She was radiant as she walked down the aisle with her father into the arms of her waiting groom. 



As luck would have it the bad weather passed and a wonderful time was had by everyone.



Chris and Jason were married September 18th and it was a gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine and blue sky.   Chris was stunning in her wedding dress and Jason was handsome in his tux. 



The Brooker Insurance Building on Pearl Road in Strongsville was a lovely backdrop for bridal photos.  Everyone then traveled to Medina for the reception where eveyone had lots of fun and good food and danced the night away with the bride and groom.

Melissa & Caleb . . . were an adorable young couple.  Caleb had just finished his ROTC Training at Kent State University and Melissa was finishing her studies as well.

The ceremony was held at a lovely church in Hudson, Ohio. 

Not only was Melissa a beautiful bride but she had a great sense of humor as well.

As the evening ended . . . a tired bride and groom take a few minutes to relax

Margeaux & Kyle . . . were married at the Botanical Gardens at University Circle in Cleveland.  It is just an amazing place for a wedding and the ceremony in the Rose Garden was lovely.  Family and friends shared this special day with the bride and groom and everyone danced long into the evening.

Lisa & Dan . . . what more can be said . . . beautiful bride, handsome groom and a perfect day for a wedding.

I want to thank all the brides and grooms that allowed me to share their wedding day with them and their families and friends.  I loved every minute of every wedding and together we all collaborated to create wonderful memories.   Thank you  . . . thank you . . . thank you : )

It was a Beautiful Day for a Wedding

Ok, so it was a little brisk and overcast and there was a little snow on the ground but nevertheless, February 28, 2010 was a beautiful day for Darin and Wendy Cyphers Haas to celebrate their wedding.  Held at Lions Park Lodge in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, it was a lovely intimate setting for friends and family to come together to share the day with Wendy and Darin.

A toast to all the wonderful years ahead  -- Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Haas

It is always a great time when photographing with Herbert Ascherman Jr., from Ascherman Photographers.  Mr. Ascherman works with an 8 x 10 view camera and took photographs of the couple in a style reminiscent of a bygone era.  He prints his images in the antique process of platinum/palladium which yields exquisite photographic prints.  Please visit his website at http://www.ascherman.com/ to see his fabulous work.
