Quinn & David’s Cleveland Wedding

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:51:47 +0000

There was so much to be thankful for the weekend that Quinn and David got married, Thanksgiving weekend. They had a beautiful destination wedding and then had their reception here locally. Although typical Ohio weather in late November leaves much to be desired, this particular day was nothing but beautiful. I was literally wearing a short sleeved blouse while shooting the outdoor pictures. The location that David chose was awesome with setting sun and rushing water in the background. Thanks for choosing me to be a part of your special day.

Mike and Angela’s Wedding in Brecksville and the Bertram

admin — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 18:55:24 +0000

We were all lucky enough to have one of the prettiest days to be a part of Mike and Angela’s wedding. We started at Angela’s parents house in Brecksville and then headed down the street a bit to their church, which is also in Brecksville. The quaint charm of the downtown area was perfect for our pictures. As many of the cars drove by they honked to support the new union of this wonderful new husband and wife. After downtown we headed to the local park near the train stop, also just minutes away. For the reception we had the privilege of shooting at the always beautiful Bertram Inn.

Thank you so much to Mike and Angela for choosing us to be a part of your special day!

Beth & Chris’ Rockin’ Wedding at the House of Blues, Cleveland

admin — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:40:15 +0000

I don’t know where to begin with this wedding. It was the epitome of music and rock. Beth and Chris bonded with me right off the bat because they sensed our kindred creative spirits. She said she was looking for someone specifically who has a very creative edge both personally and in their photography. I felt, and still feel, very honored for them to have chosen me to be that perfect match for such a special day.

The day began upstairs in one of the private VIP rooms at the House of Blues. The ceremony took place on the stage and the reception was throughout the entire grand ballroom. In the middle of the day we had the chance to head down the street to shoot outside of the Rock Hall. They chose to have a live hair band for their reception entertainment, and boy did they entertain! Beth took center stage for a good part of the party and the rest of the wedding party joined as part of the band.

This entirely musical day was truly filled with good, good vibes. It was an honor and a privilege to attend and especially be trusted to document the wonderful event of Beth & Chris’ union. Thank you Beth and Chris!

Melissa & Sean’s Wedding at St. Sebastian’s and the Sheraton

admin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:43:19 +0000

Melissa and Sean had a beautiful wedding from beginning to end. Everyone prepared for the day at the Sheraton Inn & Suites in Cuyahoga Falls and then headed to the ceremony at St. Sebastian’s where Sean has attended almost his entire life. I was lucky to be able to come back to the Sheraton, a place I love to shoot and has always taken great care of the weddings and receptions that they host.

For this particular blog post I decided to include quite a few more detail shots than I normally do, but thanks to Neil Leeson Florist who is out of Akron, I had so many detail pictures to take! A couple other vendors that were an integral part of the success of this day were the West Side Bakery (wedding cake, photographed), Joshua Tree Productions (videography), and Eileen Benson (wedding consulting).

One Happy Bride!

admin — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 00:53:19 +0000

Of course I love it when my clients are happy. But Beth has been my biggest fan and I just felt the urge to share.

The following was posted on Wedding Wire:

“The byline says that I’m supposed to provide feedback that future brides would find helpful. Here goes. DON’T LOOK ANY FURTHER. BOOK JENNIFER. I could talk about how professional she is. I could talk about how creative she is. I could talk about how affordable she is. But, instead, I’ll say that Jennifer will take the time to get to know your style, will put her own creative spin on it and give you the wedding pictures of your dreams. She’ll bring out the best of you and your love… and then capture it so that you never forget what it felt like to be young and full of excitement. That’s something you won’t find in the rest of these photographers. And, believe me… THAT’s PRICELESS.”

Thanks Beth! You have been so awesome to work with. Thank you for letting me share your special day with you. You, Chris, and Dominic are truly ROCKSTARS!

Michael and Kristen’s Wedding at the Signature of Solon

admin — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 03:04:21 +0000

Kristen approached me last summer to shoot her fall wedding and we immediately hit it off. As soon as I met her I began to get excited about shooting her wedding. She explained to me that they were going to be having their ceremony and reception at the Signature of Solon and it sounded very elegant. Kristen is such a relaxed bride, and you could tell she has wonderful taste. I loved their signature martinis that were served during the cocktail hour and throughout the reception. The entire wedding party was so much fun to shoot.

Heather & Dane’s Wedding!

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 19:46:48 +0000

I had a blast with Heather & Dane at their wedding this past Saturday, June 19, 2010. They were so fun and had the great idea to go to downtown Cleveland at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. I’ve had the privilege of working with them a couple times now and they have been wonderful to work with. I could tell from the our first meeting that they were very sweet and head over heels for each other. Their wedding day was very telling of this. Following are a few from our downtown shoot, but there are will be more to come after I do some more editing. I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to leave comments! ~ jennifer M

Alan & Renee’s Wedding

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:00:48 +0000

Alan and Renee got married back in October, as you can see from the colors on the trees in some of the pictures. Renee’s hair looked awesome, it was all her idea and it was quite possibly one of the coolest (and most complex!!!) wedding hair-do’s I’ve ever seen! The church was beautiful both inside the sanctuary and outside. The day was absolutely perfect: deep blue skies with perfectly puffy white clouds. It had just a slight briskness in the air that the perfect fall day would have. The sunset at Patterson’s Orchard is breath-taking every time I see it. If you look hard enough in one of the photos, just above the treeline is a thin blue line which is Lake Erie. I highly recommend that as a reception site. Thanks Alan and Renee for a great time!

Kirstin & Nate

admin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:51:02 +0000

Kirstin and Nate were such a pleasure to photograph. Their wedding was an afternoon wedding and the reception was at Silver Lakes Country Club. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and went off perfectly. They were so laid back and just enjoying the day with each other. The food at the reception was probably some of the best food I’ve had at a reception and their live band was so fun!

Ginny & Preston

admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:25:10 +0000

I had the privilege of photographing Ginny & Preston’s wedding the other day. The day was absolutely beautiful. We could not have asked for better weather. We had the most perfectly puffy clouds against the deepest of blue skies that day, which created the perfect backdrop against some of the photos. The wedding was in Youngstown, an area not as familiar to me as Akron or Cleveland, and they took me to a the Metro Parks there – part of Mill Creek’s Fellows Riverside Gardens. I think it was quite possibly one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen. I think the thing that I enjoyed the most about Ginny, Preston, and the rest of their party was how laid back they were and how they just wanted to enjoy themselves.
