We’ve shot at the Old Courthouse on Lakeside Road quite a few times, but this our first ceremony at the Courthouse, and a beautiful ceremony location it is. Expectations for the weather were low, but it shaped up to be a beautiful day in Cleveland anyway, so we actually spent quite a bit of time shooting outside.
How does one describe Michael and Brandi’s wedding at St John’s cathedral and the old Cleveland courthouse without being repetitive with the word amazing? How about saying it was sophisticated, stunning, classy and elegant? So much effort went into planning this fantastic day that I knew the results would be nothing short of amazing. How could it not be with the coordination of Tricia at Always Eventful, the flowers from Stephen Tokar, food by Bon Appetit, music by Jerry Bruno Orchestra, cake by Phyllis Lester and video by 2nd Mile.
The couple (yes the groom was very involved) planned a simple and elegant wedding in Cleveland that started at St Gregory the Great and ended at the Courthouse. It’s hard to go wrong with the decor of the cuyahoga county courthouse. They were surrounded by many friends to celebrate including two priests that are long friends of the family. Also notable are some top notch vendors they picked including Scott Jones from Jerry Bruno and Scott from Moonstruck Productions.
Ed and Noelle designed a beautifully unique wedding together with plenty of elements comming together to give the event a very classic, vintage galmour feel. From the obvious, like the 1960 Rolls Royce (complete with right-side driver’s seat) and the architechture at the Old Courthouse, to the subtle, like Ed’s bow-tie and cumberbun tuxedo, and the letterpress invitations, it was clear that Ed and Noelle had a clear vision for their wedding before they set out to plan, and all without the help of a professional wedding planner!
Mary and Erik braved some blustery downtown Cleveland weather for their engagement session this past Tuesday. Erik used to live and work in the area so he was able to point out some cool places to go to that I might not have found on my own. Stay tuned come April if you would to [...]
Yeah, it’s a little risky planning engagement sessions this late in the year, but Ashley and Brandon lucked out with clear weather, bareable temperatures, and a TON of wind. I had some indoor and covered locations in mind just in case, but thankfully, we didn’t have to rely on them. Stay tuned for their wedding [...]
What a fun day we had with Heather, Patrick, their bridal parties and family despite the heat. Everyone was pretty easygoing which made for some fun and laid-back photos. It’s obvious these people know how to have a blast together. Heather got ready at the Marriott at Key Center where we eventually came back to [...]
