Spring Lake Party Center Lakemore Ohio

Spring Lake Party Center was the perfect location for Sarah and Neal's wedding Saturday Evening. The gazebo and lake made a beautiful background for an outdoor wedding. I was capturing images of the ceremony from behind a purple bush to create depth and drama when a butterfly landed right in front of me! It made a great image and a lasting memory for them. Shortly after the ceremony the party started inside and continued into the night. A beautiful sunset finished the night for me!

Guys Party Center Akron Ohio

Friday's wedding with Andrea and Dave went perfectly. We started at Salon Kisha and watched as Andrea became a radiant bride to be!
After picking up the dress at Andrea's parents house we stopped at Rockne's for lunch with all the bridesmaids. The ceremony was beautiful and they had the longest line of guests throwing rose petals I've ever seen. Afterwards we went to Buchtel Fountains for some fun and got some great images of them and their party. The reception hall at Guys Party Center was packed with all their friends and family and they danced the night away!

St. Matthews Ellet Ohio

Last Saturday was beautiful but really hot and humid....especially if you were in a wedding gown! Rachael and David got married Saturday and fortunately no one passed out or melted from the weather. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Matthews in Ellet. Rachael's mother made the pew decorations which included hanging lanterns that looked amazing! The decorations she made for the tables at Occasions were so nice, another bride from an upcoming wedding wanted to buy them for her wedding.
I get to spend this weekend with my family again so we'll see you in two weeks!

St. Bernards and Stan Hywet Gardens!!

I love working at both St. Bernards and Stan Hywet but to be in both places in the same day with some really cool people--that's a rare treat! Sandra and Jared had a fun bridal party with some great ideas and we had a blast walking around Stan Hywet creating memories. The reception was at the Akron University Student center which presented some fantastic opportunities too.

The Club at Hillbrook

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to go to The Club At Hillbrook in Chagrin Falls. What a beautiful place for Brian and Stephanie to get married. The weather looked questionable for a while but it only rained for about 3 minutes. We started at the hair salon and then went to the club for the wedding and reception which were both outside. The place is absolutely gorgeous and has a lot of places to create beautiful images. Above are some of my favorites.

Our Lady of Cedars Hall, Akron Ohio

I took some time off to spend with my family and I am finally catching up with everything! I photographed a wedding on June 30th and I finally had time to do a slideshow for Mark and Christie just this week. They got married at Fairlawn United Methodist Church and had their reception at Our Lady of the Cedars hall. It is a very modern looking church and they had a beautiful ceremony and a beautiful day. The reception hall had a lot of natural light which was great for photography!

7-7-07 Most popular wedding date of the year!!

This past Saturday was the biggest wedding day of the year but I got to spend the whole weekend with my family! I took my wife biking on the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. Played some basketball with my children....it was a good weekend. Now I am all rested and ready for another amazing weekend!

I just got an email from someone in New York that I wanted to share with everyone....... see you next week!!
