Eventhough September 26th started out with rain and clouds, Matt and Jody didn’t let the weather put a damper on their big day! We’ve been looking forward to working with these guys since we shot their engagement session a while back (which has seen been made a sample guestbook for display), and despite some changes in the plans due to weather, we were able to capture some really nice images indoors. We can’t emphasize enough the importance of having a good backup indoor location in case of rain, especially in Northeast Ohio where weather is quite unpredictable (to put it mildly)! The reception was held out at the 100th Bomb Group, and the reception festivites were kept running smooth by the one and only JR from Selective Sound. Onto the images!
Jody was all smiles!
Love this shot of Jody…

A few seconds before walking down the aisle…
I love this glance from Jody at her new husband…
Married!
We headed to the Marriott for some indoor images…
Stunning!
Love the lights in this shot!
The rain stopped for a little so we headed outside with the party…
I affectionately call this the “bridal party stampede”…
The girls!
Matt and the guys…
A few more with our stars!
On to the reception…
Jody did an amazing job with the details!
Last summer our good friends Brian and Susy Morris from 2nd Mile Productions gave us the great idea of using video lights to light most of our reception coverage, especially the first dances. It allows us to capture the ambience of the venue without distracting flashes, and results in what we feel is a more intimate and romantic image sequence of the dances. Thanks again guys for the great idea!
The party was really energized!
One more!
