Genevieve Nisly Photography Blog – Cleveland Ohio Wedding Photographers

I seriously doubt that when Brock and Jennifer imagined their wedding two days after Christmas they didn’t imagine it with 60 degree weather. While Jennifer planned for a typical chilly and snowy December wedding with a lovely white cape, we decided to skip it halfway through the photo session in downtown Canton.

I also know that we haven’t seen a groom that is as conscientious and punctual as Brock. It’s such a pleasant experience to have a groom so involved in is own wedding. After almost 12 years of being together it’s obvious Brock really and truely cares for Jennifer.

This wedding was one of the very few weddings I shot solo and met the couple on their wedding day. Thankfully Ian and Libby were very comfortable having me around. They are such a sweet and tender couple. Being able to do all the formals before the ceremony and using Walden Inn which was so nicely decorated helped make this a smooth day.

Not too many people are wanting to do engagement photos in the winter due to the lovely weather we get in Ohio. Yet I love the feel winter photos have that are unlike any other.

Ed and Noelle were daring to face the weather but of course we were hoping for pretty snow when we did their photos behind the Cleveland Art Museum. Alas the wind blew the snow away. We moved quickly to avoid freezing our noses and fingers but it that short time, we got some great stuff.

We have several things in store in the next couple months even if posting will be slowing down.
#1 Boudoir Marathon at a location still to be determined the weekend of January 17th. Photos and albums will ready in time for Valentines Day.
#2 Not one but two contest are coming up. Be sure to check back [...]

I kinda feel sorry for these kids because the weather was so cold but hopefully they still had fun.

To warm them up, I asked them to jump and got some action photos in the process. I’m also pretty glad I asked the group if they had any ideas for poses and they came up with that last one on their own. I probably should have asked them sooner!

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Tim and Laura for their engagement session in Akron, Ohio. Both Tim and Laura are very involved in the local acting community and have shared many hours at a small, community theater in downtown Akron. This theater has played a significant part in their relationship to this point, so meeting up there for the e-session was an obvious choice.

For those of you that have come to the studio, you know we share the building with other business and one of them is Katie Eslich’s chiropractic business. We’ve slowly been getting to know her but this was the first time meeting the kids. Both girls are full of life and spirit. Dad and mom have a little himself too so that made it easy to capture fun photos.

It’s so nice to get a chance to photograph an engagement session so close to home. When I say close, the garden Center at Stadium Park is maybe 3 minutes from our home. Even with doing the photos in November, we had enough foliage and colors to make the session worthwhile.

Well, the day before we headed out of the office for a bit of Thanksgiving vacation, MyFox Cleveland released the results of the 2008 Best in Cleveland contest, and we are quite happy to say that out of over ninety area photographers competing, we made it to number 2!
We just wanted to take this opportunity [...]

Things are starting to slow down a little for us now (a little) so I’m going to continue to try to get caught up on blogging the engagement sessions I have done over the last few weeks. Brock and Jenny first met us only about a month or so ago about their wedding this December 27th. In this very short period of time, it’s been great to get to know Brock and Jenny through the engagement session and subsequent viewing session. When brainstorming about where to go or what to do, Jenny mentioned that she grew up in the historic Zoar village and it was immediately obvious that the village would be a perfect location for them. It offers a great deal of beatiful period architecture and the time of year was perfect for fall colors.
