Bill and Debbie’s wedding in Dover, Ohio

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Bill and Debbie’s wedding at Saturday marks the official conclusion of our May-October wedding shooting marathon for the year. We have the next two weekends off which will be nice to rest, recharge, and get caught up on some post processing and album design. It felt great to end the peak-season with a fantastic wedding. We found some great spots near Atwood lake at the absolute perfect time for some awesome late-evening light.

Alejo and Jodi’s wedding at Fieldcrest of North Canton

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Of all the couples we have photographed in the last five years, Alejo and Jodi just might be the most well-travelled of them all. Jodi’s job as an oceanographer and Alejo’s job as a crew member of a ship that maintains off-shore oil rigs has taken them to the ends of the earth. Really now, who else can claim that they met their spouse for the first time in Antartica. Antartica! Each table at the reception was labelled with a destination that Al and Jodi had been to together, and it’s quite a staggering list.

Steve and Karri’s wedding at the Canton Mckinley Grand Hotel

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Almost exactly a year before their wedding, we had the pleasure of meeting Karri and Steve at a small bridal show in the very room where they were married this past Friday. The Canton Mckinley Grand Hotel provided the perfect environment for their wedding and the staff did a fantastic job keeping everything rolling smoothly.

Brent at Beth’s wedding at Fieldcrest of North Canton

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Brent and Beth were blessed with an absolutely perfect day for their outdoor wedding ceremony at Fieldcrest of North Canton. Luckily, Brent and the guys were smart enough to avoid black tuxedos which led to a lot less sweating compared to most outdoor cermonies. Good call, guys! We had a lot of fun with their engagement session earlier this summer which really made us look forward to their wedding.

Ely and Erin’s wedding at Glenmoor Country Club

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Erin and Ely’s wedding at Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio was a beautifully intimate event with friends and family from both near and far (in some cases, very far) in attendance. Ely has a very interesting job as an editor for 20th Century Fox cutting together previews and trailors for major motion pictures. It was great to see how they worked that into a theme for the wedding with the props for the place card table and centerpieces.

Matt and Elizabeth’s wedding at The Quarry

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

We’ve been looking forward to Matt and Elizabeth’s wedding here in Canton for quite some time. They made it very clear to us that their photography was very important to them, and that they would do everything they could to make our jobs easier. We can live with that!

New Studio Grand Opening Party!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Thank you so much to everyone that came out last week to our open house to celebrate the opening of our new studio.  We had a great time even if it was hot a blazes that day.  The AC was running full tilt the whole day and it just couldn’t keep up.
We saw friends, family, [...]

Scott and Christina - Chateau Michele + Akron Reformed Church

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Remember the wedding contest we did at the beginning of the year? Well Scott and Christina were the winner and I had the pleasure of photographing them.
One thing I must say, there was no shortage of emotions at Scott and Christina’s wedding. There are times I am happy I have a camera to hide [...]

Al and Jodi are engaged!

Monday, May 26th, 2008

When we were working with Al and Jodi to figure out where to do their engagement session, they mentioned that they loved movies, and often went to the Canton Palace Theatre together to see them.  Perfect!  We both new that’s exactly where we should do their session.

Congrats Al and Jodi, we’re looking forward to shooting [...]

David and Tricia - Our Lady of Peace + Glenmoor Country Club

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Friends and Family traveled great distances to join David and Tricia for their wedding at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church here in Canton, Ohio. I think Tricia explained the day quite well when right before the ceremony, she told me about her wedding: “Simple execution - that’s all we need; simple execution”. Well, simple execution is what she got. There weren’t a lot of embellishments for her wedding day, just ample amounts of what really mattered to Tricia and David - relationships and togetherness. That, I can respect.

Non-bridal with Paul and Nicole downtown Canton

Friday, May 16th, 2008

We had been trying to do a session with Paul and Niki since February. Part of the idea was to do something challenging for us to help push us creatively. Things kept getting postponed but finally we made it happen.
One of tough part of the day to shoot, is at dusk. When the sun has [...]

Tom and Eleni - St. Haralambos and Skyland Pines

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Congrats to Tom and Eleni on their fabulous and very well attended Greek wedding here in Canton, Ohio. This was our second wedding at St. Haralambos and it is fast becoming one of our favorite places to shoot in Canton. The altar is beautiful and the architecture makes it very unique. Once we were finished at the Church, we all headed over to Skyland Pines Country Club for photos and the party where the Stigma band provided the entertainment.

Brent and Beth are getting married!

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Both Genevieve and I have really come to enjoy urban engagement sessions, so we were quite happy to hear that we would be shooting Brent and Beth’s engagement session in our very own little downtown Canton.  The idea of downtown Canton probably doesn’t conjure up grand, romantic images and themes in most people’s minds, but [...]

Sean and Julia’s wedding at Glenmoor Country Club

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Sean and Julia both come from Italian families so we knew we would be in for a treat(s) at their wedding. They certainly did not disappoint from a stunning bride (Sean looked good too), gorgeously decorated church, tasteful details, a violin serenade during dinner and tons of cookies for dessert made by the family. It was a pleasure to capture all those things but even more so the joy and celebration that was written on Sean and Julia’s face as well as on their friends and families.

Vasilios and Elenie’s wedding at The Metropolitan Centre

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Well, we finished off the year with a fantastic and very unique (at least for us) wedding. Vasilios and Elenie planned a beautiful Greek Orthodox wedding at St. Haralambos in Canton with a fantastic reception at the new and very promising Metropolitan Center in Downtown Canton.

Even though the ceremony didn’t end until after 5PM, [...]

Eric and Katie’s wedding at the Glenmoor Country Club

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

It was obvious on Saturday that Katie and her Mom put a lot of care into planning a wedding that with the help of Tricia Dever of Always Eventful and the staff at Glenmoor, turned out to be an elegant, well-oiled event. They took a chance with an “East Coast” style reception timeline which had people up and dancing between courses; a fantastic way to eliminate any chance of boredom or monotony during the reception.

Brian and Amanda’s wedding at Glenmoor Country Club

Friday, September 28th, 2007

had a really, really tough time narrowing things down to just a dozen images from Brian and Amanda’s wedding this past Saturday. With 24 bridal party members and lots of family, there was just a lot going on at any given moment. One thing that made the day a lot of fun is that we got to work with our favorite videographers and good friends Brian and Susy Morris from 2nd Mile Productions. Brian put did one of his now famous “Same Day Edits” which basically amounts to a suicide editing session between the ceremony and reception in order to a have four minute video recap for the reception. It was the first time we got to see one, and I must say, it was amazing. You can see what they put together on his blog here:

Tricia and Stephen’s wedding at The Players Guild

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

We had a great time capturing Tricia and Stephen’s wedding this past Saturday June 17th. This couple and their friends are all involved in theater so they are very expressive and not camera shy. We all had a blast! The ceremony was at St Joseph’s and the reception at the Players Guild both in Canton. [...]

Urban engagement session in Canton, Ohio

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

We started Erin and Ja’s session near our place with a “cash advance” place. Yes, they can make for interesting background. Then we went downtown Canton for some more urban stuff. Ja wanted some artsy photos so I hope these are to his liking. I’m glad he asked. We had a great time and were [...]
