It was cold, windy, and a bit rainy, but the fire that burns between Molly and Jason kept them warm through the whole shoot. Haha, sounds pretty cheesy, right?! Well, it is but they were really cute because at the beginning of the shoot they were freezing and by the end of the shoot it seemed like they pretty warm and snuggly for each other.
Molly + Jason Engagement Shoot
Chris + Renee’s Winter Wedding
When I booked this December wedding it was super warm out and I thougth, oh, this is probably going to be a cold day! On the (pleasant) contrary it was amazing that day. I did not even wear a coat outside, in DECEMBER. This actually does not sound all that amazing after just experiencing 66˚ in February just yesterday! Either way, on this particular beautiful December day, two beautiful individuals came together to form a truly beautiful family. Thank you for having me share in such a wonderful celebration and I can’t wait to see Logan again, the cutest little man in a tux ever!!!































Sunrise engagement session in downtown Cleveland
Last weekend I had the pleasure of getting up at 5:30 am to go to downtown Cleveland to do an engagement shoot. Although that sounds a bit sarcastic, it actually WAS a pleasure! Admittedly getting up that early was not the most pleasant time to awake, but once I was up and out shooting I had a blast! Crystal and Chris were totally up for the adventure! We went to five different locations in two hours and it felt like a treasure hunt! It was so fun. I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as we enjoyed going around town to take them!











Jen & Jim’s Wedding at the Sheraton, Cuyahoga Falls
I know this has been a long time coming, but without further ado I present you Mr. and Mrs. Fandrich! Jen and Jim were a blast to work with and their wedding at the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls was beautiful! They were having such fun time that day and took that fun time to their honeymoon. Since their honeymoon, which was right after wedding, they are expecting! So later in the year, keep a look out for maternity and newborn pictures for the newest addition to the Fandrich family! Yay, congrats guys!





























Another wonderful creation of the West Side Bakery! Of course it’s beautiful, and trust me, it tasted amazing as well!



Quinn & David’s Cleveland Wedding
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
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!








































Liz and Dan’s Engagement Session in Peninsula, Ohio
Despite crazy schedules and uncooperative weather, the three of us were able to successfully meet up for an engagement shoot on probably one of the prettiest mornings in November. Dan and Liz’s bubbly personalities kept me shooting away and I think shows through in many of the photographs. I am looking forward to shooting their wedding which coincidentally is taking place on my birthday next year! What a fun way to celebrate!











Kelley & Matthew Engaged in Houston, TX
When Kelley and Matthew met sparks were immediately flying. Matthew, an engineer, and Kelley, a fine artist in ceramics, bring science and art together perfectly through their love for each other. Getting to do this shoot was special to me because I have known Kelley for over ten years and consider her a very close friend. Shortly after they met when she began telling me about Matthew, I knew that he was very special and was going to be in her life for a very long time. Thank you for letting me document your wonderful commitment for one another. I look forward to seeing it flourish over many years to come.

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