Mary & Matt’s engagement session
I met Mary and Matt at Coe Lake in Berea for their engagement session. The sky was a little overcast which worked really well for that time of day providing soft, even light for their photos. Throughout their session it became obvious how much Mary and Matt enjoy just being together. They gave me their best smiles every time they looked at each other.
Thanks for the great session guys!
Melissa & Jason – April 25, 2009
It was a beautiful April day for Melissa and Jason’s wedding. We started at The First Church of Christ in Barberton where Melissa was putting the final touches on her makeup before getting into her dress. Jason arrived a little bit later ready to go. Both were extremely excited and just a little nervous. After their ceremony I could see a noticeable change in their countenance. They both had that happy, relieved, just married glow about them. I love that!
Once we finished up photos at the church we went straight to Firestone Country Club for the reception. We took some photos on the golf course before we headed into the dining room. During dinner Michael Sonata offered an incredible tribute to old blue eyes himself as he sang several Sinatra favorites. He sounded so much like Frank Sinatra I found myself forgetting that I wasn’t listening to a CD. Bill from Pro Disc Entertainment was the MC and DJ for the evening and packed the dance floor. Everyone seemed to be having a blast!
Here are a few of our favorites from the day. Enjoy!
Katie & Andy’s engagement session
If I had to use one word to describe Katie and Andy it would be chemistry. There’s no doubt about it. They’ve got it. This session was so much fun to shoot because of how comfortable Katie and Andy are with each other and how much fun they have when they’re together. And it was infectionus. In fact, it seemed we spent almost as much time laughing as we did taking photos. When I get to work with couples that have this kind of chemistry it reaffirms why I got into the wedding business in the first place. What a blast!
Though it was difficult to narrow it down here are some favs from the shoot. Enjoy!
Kimberly & Ronald – March 7, 2009
The right place. The right time.
Most couples know each other for a few years before they tie the knot as did Kim and Ron…. plus another decade or two.
Kim and Ron had met years ago and had fallen in love but they knew that as much as they wanted to follow their hearts they knew that they answered to much higher Authority. It wasn’t their time, yet.
On Saturday, March 7th, their time finally had come! The ceremony and reception were at Cuyahoga Valley Church. Afterwards we took a few photos just outside the church building. I was so glad to see that we had such a warm day in March!
Renee came along to help shoot this one. Here are some of our picks.

Melissa and Chris’s engagement session
We had a beautiful day for Melissa and Chris’s engagement session, (which, as we all know is hit or miss this time of year in Cleveland). We shot around Grand Pacific Junction in Downtown Olmsted Falls and then made our way to the railroad tracks. As we were shooting I noticed a train coming down one of the other tracks and I knew this was my opportunity to get a shot that’s been stuck in my head for weeks! You should have seen the looks on their faces when I asked them to sit down just two sets of tracks from where the train was about to speed by. I told them to kiss as the train passed behind them and it was such a rush! Thanks guys for being so adventurous!
Here are some of my favorites from their session.
Tricia & Brian’s engagement session
Tricia and Brian was my third session of the day. To mix things up we took some photos around downtown Olmsted Falls and also a few in the park. My personal favorites were by the railroad tracks.
My picks below.
Heather & John’s engagement session
Heather & John were my second session of the day. The ground gets especially slippery and treacherous in the winter time especially in some of the spots where I wanted to take some photos but Heather and John were troopers.
Here are some of my picks.
