Cleveland Wedding Photographers Fashion Shoot

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

We had the amazing opportunity to work with some incredible local wedding vendors this past weekend on a fashion bridal shoot in downtown Cleveland! Dresses were provided by The Dress, hair was crafted by Salon Rootz, and makeup was done by Jason Kelly of JKelly FaceArt. I could go on and on about what amazing time we had, but I’d rather let the images speak for themselves! A HUGE thanks again to our models, and everyone else who made this possible!

Derek and Brownell’s Cleveland After Session

Friday, April 26, 2013 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

We’ve been waiting to photograph Derek and Brownell’s after session ever since they got married last June, and the day finally came a few weeks back. We settled on more of a grungier backdrop for most of the session, and ended up with some candlelit images in their gorgeous new home! It’s been awesome working with you guys, and we sure hope this isn’t the last session we do with you!

Joe and Nicole’s LaMalfa and St. John Vianney Wedding

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

It’s hard to imagine it’s been almost two weeks since we photographed Joe and Nicole’s wedding! Since they live out in California, they booked us after a phone meeting, and the wedding day was the first day we all got to finally meet. Our original plan was to head out to Mentor Headlands for photos, but since the weather was a bit unpredictable, we headed to downtown Cleveland instead and were able to create some really beautiful images with the option of covered places in case of rain! Luckily we avoided any major downpours, and were able to wrap up our session with some champagne at Alex Bistro and Bar. Thanks again guys for a wonderful day, as well as for chosing us as your Cleveland wedding photographers! We had some help from some wonderful vendors, including LaMalfa Reception Hall, J Marie Hair Salon, Scott E. Jones of Jerry Bruno Productions, and Florals by Kelly Bellanca of Floral Images.

Joe & Nicole’s LaMalfa Wedding Sneak Peek!

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

Despite some  challenging weather this past weekend, we were able to capture some gorgeous images of Nicole and Joe and their family and friends! It was a real pleasure finally getting to meet these two, as they live way out on the west coast, and they could not have been any nicer, not to mention amazing models! Their reception was held at the LaMalfa Event Center in Mentor, and we had the pleasure of working with the one and only Scott E. Jones of Jerry Bruno Productions! Just a a few quick images for now (we really loved their favors), there will be more to come in a few days!

Nick & Sarah’s Cleveland Renaissance Ballroom Wedding

Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

We were thrilled to be able able to kick off our wedding season with Nick and Sarah! They are as sweet as can be, and their schedule allowed for some really great photography. They opted for a first glance, which we always recommend, especially if having time for gorgeous imagery is of high importance to you. The Cleveland Renaissance Hotel was an amazing backdrop for their reception, and some of the final images we got of Nick and Sarah in the ballroom have become some of our favorite images of the past year! This day wouldn’t have been complete with the help of some great vendors, including Kirkbrides Event and Wedding Planners, Lynda Loren, Event Source, The White Flower Cake Shoppe, Jamie Huntsman, and 56 Daze. If you want to see more images of the reception decor, be sure to see our previous post by clicking on this link: Cleveland Renaissance Ballroom Reception.
