Austin and Alison’s wedding at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens

by James ~ September 29th, 2008. Filed under: Cleveland Weddings.

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of taking part in Alison and Austin’s wedding at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.  Austin did his best to warn us about their bridal party because evidently, Austin had accumulated years worth of payback in the form of pranks, jokes, and stunts during social events and there was a good chance that there were some who would be looking to settle some old scores.  Nothing got too out of hand, thankfully, but seeing their friend and family dressed up as Austin and Alison in childhood photographs was pretty funny!

I’ll give you one guess at as to what the Barger family University of Choice is.

    Awesome work … love the bride and groom in the rainforest and the black-and-white dance shot. Nice moment on the bench, too. Wonderful as always!
