Randi & Adam’s Windows on the River Wedding!

Friday, July 2, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

Back at the beginning of May, we had the great pleasure of spending the day with Randi and Adam on their wedding day.  Boy did we get lucky!   We had been looking forward to this day since we met them - with their laid back personalities and gorgeous good-looks, we knew it was going to be a good day.  It was supposed to rain all day but God was looking out for us - it only rained until we started picture time!  *Phew*  Even if it had rained, it wouldn’t have mattered  - Randi & Adam have that magic of making any photo look good!  :)  Thanks guys for being so awesome!  Check them out:

Myles and Sarah’s Engagement Session

Thursday, July 1, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Engagements

This is a great time to post some images from Myles and Sarah’s engagement session, seeing as that their wedding is coming up towards the end of this month! We had another absolutely gorgeous late afternoon to work with, and Myles and Sarah were excited to fially get in front of the camera. Myles even brought along his new Canon 7D, which I of course couldn’t resist using for a handful of images. We are really excited to continue with you guys in a few weeks, see you on the 25th!

Kevin & Nancy’s Cleveland Courthouse Wedding

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

We’re chugging right along on the blog here, making up for some lost time, and we are finally up to Kevin and Nancy’s beautiful wedding from back in April. We always love getting to work with friends of past clients, so when James and Steph sent over these guys to meet with us last year, we were thrilled! Eventhough the weather was threatening us later in the afternoon, we were still able to make use of our time around downtown Cleveland and hit up some great locations for our creative time. We even caught the beautiful blooms (notice how I keep saying blooms, that’s because I honestly have no idea what kind of trees those are, haha…) in action downtown as well! The reception details were amazingly gorgeous, and everything came together to make a really perfect day. Thanks again guys for choosing us to photograph your wedding day, we had a blast!

Michael & Renee’s Engagement Session

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Engagements

Back in April, we got the chance to head downtown with Michael and Renee to shoot their engagement session at some cool spots near the flats. These guys were really excited about trying out some grungy and unique spots around the city, and we were equally as excited to shot their gorgeous selves! We’re looking forward to their wedding coming up this September, it’ll be here quick guys! Check out a few images from their session…

We had about a week’s window for these blooms, and Michael and Renee were one of the lucky couples to take advantage of the beautiful pink tones!

Neil & Katrina’s After Session

Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Posted in After Sessions

It’s hard to imagine that Neil and Katrina’s wedding was over a year ago! They have been awesome clients to work with, and we were of course excited to be able to shoot their after session downtown right around their one year mark! Rachel and I are huge fans of after sessions, or what a lot of people call “Trash the Dress” sessions. We tend to view them as an awesome extension of wedding day, where time is no longer a factor, giving us the ability to go to a lot of unique locations that wouldn’t be possible on the actual wedding day. Here’s a sampling from their session we photographed back in April!

I loved the light in coming in here…

Taylor’s Portrait Session

Monday, June 28, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Portraits

What an awesome time we had photographing Taylor a few months ago, this girl really rocks it out in front of the camera! We had an absolutely beautiful day to work with, and a new location we’d been itching to photograph at for quite some time. We’d couldn’t be happier with the results! Thanks for workin’ it girl, we had a great time capturing some killer images of you! A few favorites from her session…

Eliot’s Portrait Session

Monday, June 28, 2010 Posted in Children's Portraits

Way back in 2007, Rachel and I had the privilege of photographing Chris and Michelle’s wedding, and a few years down the road we are thrilled to be able to document their little guy Eliot! We’ve photographed Eliot a few times in the past few years, and its been great seeing this little guy keep getting bigger and bigger! Chris and Michelle have the perfect home for a portrait session, and I have to say that Eliot was a ham in front of the lens all morning. I think its safe to say that good looks run in the family! Check out a few previews from our session a few months ago…

Way too cute!

Patrick & Alison’s West Side Market Engagement Session

Sunday, June 27, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Engagements

Way back in March (yeah, waaaaay back!), we headed out to the West Side Market to shoot Alison and Patrick’s engagement session on a sunny yet brisk day. Back in November we had the chance to shoot the entire Evans family, so it was cool to work with yet another part of the group this time around! We had a an awesome time with these guys, and we were bummed to find after their session that we were already booked for their big day next year! Thanks again for being awesome clients, we wish you nothing but the best for the remainder of your planning! Your photographer is going to have an easy job with you guys, you work it like pros! : )

Catching Up!

Tuesday, June 8, 2010 Posted in Cleveland Weddings

Wow, as I sit here I’m looking at a list of over 20 sessions that need to be blogged from the past few months! Rachel and I have been crazy busy since the end of April, and now that wedding season is in full gear, we are desperately trying to play catch up with the blog! No worries, all sessions and weddings will get their day of glory on here, but for now we wanted to post just a few images from our first few weddings this spring.

On somewhat of a side note, if you haven’t joined our facebook page yet (seriously, if you haven’t, get over there RIGHT NOW!!!), be sure to visit us at http://www.facebook.com/LinczakPhotography for a ton of updates and preview images from sessions that haven’t made it to the blog yet, as well as  monthly specials on sessions and products!
