Thursday, October 29th, 2009

I had an fabulous time photographing Renee and Chad for their engagement session in Akron. Chad wasn’t sure what an engagement photos consist off but I think he did great job.

Andrew and Caroline’s wedding at Hale Farm and Village

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Caroline and Andrew’s wedding took place at one of my all time favorite ceremony spots; a quaint little white chapel nestled within the outdoor, living museum of Hale Farm and Village. Because the village and all of the remaining structures throughout the village have been so maintained and protected by the Western Reserve Historical Society, you really have to look hard for anything that would tip you off to the fact that it’s not currently mid 1800’s. Throw in some amazing fall colors, and you have something really special. We might have had to dodge a few rain drops, but all in all, the day went superbly well. The reception followed at the almost as beautiful (almost, that is) Portage Country Club in nearby Akron.

Ohio family portraits

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

So often, us photographers with kids neglect to turn the camera on ourselves or to ask a fellow photographer to take our portraits. This was an option to remedy this. All photographers participating were then asked to photograph another family.

All these family portraits were taken in Akron, Ohio.

France – part IV – Paris, Mont Saint Michel and more

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Here is our fourth and final installment of our trip to France. We had a great time seeing amazing landscapes, stunning stone buildings and stroll one of my favorite cities in the world: Paris! It’s even more fun to see the city at night with the lights everywhere.

Dean and Katie’s wedding at the Cleveland Hyatt Regency Arcade

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Despite not meeting Katie until days before her wedding, I already had a sense of her personality and taste. It seemed obvious from our exchanges that Dean and Katie would have a fabulous wedding at the Cleveland Hyatt Regency. The day, the couple, the decor and the large bridal party certainly lived up and exceeded our expectations of a festive, old Hollywood and glamorous wedding. Not only was the couple game for various off the beaten path locations, they allotted over 4 hours of creative time to capture the images. We enjoyed having all that time to be artistic and diverse which should be obvious in the images below.

Canton Senior Session with Mitch

Friday, October 9th, 2009

When Mitch was thinking about his senior photo session, he knew he wanted to do something different from his classmates at Perry High School. The word plane came up since his family owns a hanger near a small airport south of Canton. Who were we to say no? I am so glad we were able to create some fun and unique images for Mitch’s senior session that capture who he is.

Jimmy and Becci’s wedding at The Club at Hillbrook

Monday, October 5th, 2009

From the great location at Hillbrook, the 1950’s inspired bridesmaids dresses, Chuck Taylor All Stars, the bicycles, the beautifully whimsical cakes, and of course, Jimmy and Becci themselves, there was just so much to love about Saturday’s wedding. Being that Jimmy is the current manager and grandson of the founder of Eddy’s Bike Shop, the best bike stores in Ohio (as recent customers, Genevieve and I can vouch for this), bicycles are a big part of their lives. As a wedding present, Jimmy gave Becci the beautiful townie (which Becci had already given a name) that you will see in the images below.

Family Portraits in Cleveland

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

We had the pleasure of photographing John and Laurie’s wedding some three and a half years ago. I was so happy to hear the good news that they had since had a little boy Liam and wanted us to capture their growing family. We waited until Liam was 3 months old and showed some personality to schedule the family session at their home near Cleveland.
