Galik – Fantone Wedding | Jennifer M Photography | Wedding Photographer Akron Oh

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).

Amber & Rob Engagement Session at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens

Amber chose the Cleveland Botanical Gardens as her location because she did part of her internship there. We were very excited about the great overcast day and the perfect lighting until we got all the way out and there was a torrential downpour! Luckily we sought refuge in the kids tower where we had to wait it out. It was not an ordinary rain, it was a monsoon, so we were not going anywhere until it settled down. I am thoroughly looking forward to your wedding later this month at the Croatian Lodge!

Beth & Chris’ Engagement Shoot in Downtown Cleveland (East Bank)

I have had the privilege of getting to know Beth and Chris. They are the most rockin’ couple I have ever worked with. We decided to go to downtown Cleveland “down by the river” to do their engagement shoot. The main reason for that location was because they are having their wedding at the House Of Blues. In addition to being such a musical couple, Beth’s son is also very musical and will be part of the entertainment at the wedding reception. I am thoroughly looking forward to this!

Jen & Jim’s Engagement Session at my “outdoor studio”

Coincidentally Jen grew up in Copley, which is where I am based out of, so we decided to shoot in my backyard. I have a dilapidated red barn in the back and it over looks my neighbor’s haystacks and black cows. There are some great colors and textures to choose from. It was fun getting to hike around with the two of them and their facetious senses of humor! I look forward to their wedding which will be taking place at the beautiful Sheraton Inn & Suites in Cuyahoga Falls.

One Happy Bride!

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!

Heidi & John Engagement

Heidi and John were one of the most laid back couples I think I’ve ever met. They are so happy in love and I could tell from the moment I met them that they were truly meant to be. Two families combine and will become one. Two hearts come together to form a wonderful union. Their love for each other is beautiful.

Please enjoy their engagement session in downtown Shaker Heights, Cleveland OH.
