Alison and Bryan

Alison and Bryan met at Ashland university. They spent their first date sitting on a bench talking all night in the beautiful park-like setting. They wanted to meet for the first time on their wedding day and spend some time walking around campus before the ceremony. We met at the bench where they had their fist date and they exchanged gifts and Bryan gave Alison a necklace that complemented her gown perfectly. After the ceremony they walked through their crowd of friends and managed not to get burned by all the flaming sparklers! The reception was in the campus convocation center.

NEOUCOM Weddings

Saturday turned out to be another perfect day for a wedding. The trees were in prime color and the temperature was comfortable. Seth and Valerie met at Princeton where they both attend. The day was really cool because we celebrated two ceremonies. The first ceremony was at Immaculate Conception in Ravenna and the Jewish ceremony was at NEOUCOM medical college in Rootstown. The reception was in the main ballroom which was decorated beautifully and had really romantic accent lighting.

St. Matthews in Ellet

I am way behind on my postings! The leaves have been beautiful and it seems like everyone wants their photographs in the fall leaves so I have been super busy. Marsha and Gary were married on the 11th at St. Matthews church. It was great to work with the Holcomb family again as I had photographed Gary's brothers wedding a few years ago. It's always nice to see familiar-friendly faces. After the wedding we stopped at a park and then stopped by their house to capture a few images of them in their "new" Belvedere convertible.
The reception hall was decorated beautifully and since they were engaged at a lighthouse, the decorations reflected that theme. They even had a ice sculpture that looked just like it!

St. Georges Hall Akron Ohio

Jen and Scott were married Saturday and had the reception at St. Georges Fellowship Centre in Fairlawn. Their first dance was a samba and they looked fantastic! It ended with a low dip and a kiss and cheers from the large crowd. St. Georges is a great place for a party as the family run business makes their lasagna from scratch and it was tasty! The long walkway down the side of the building has a row of arches that makes a great spot for photographs. We went out to the arches right before sunset and later when it was completely dark and created some really cool images!

NEOUCOM Weddings

It was a another great weekend for weddings! The weather cleared up and turned out beautiful. Friday night Brittany and Craig were married at NEOUCOM medical college in Rootstown. Since the ground was still wet and it was a little chilly the ceremony was held in the atrium. Their first dance started out with some traditional music and then they started a "dance revolution" that included about every dance craze that I have seen over the last 20 years. It ended with a dip and a kiss and rousing applause from all the guests! They really cut loose with some moves and you could tell they were having a great time. They were very playful and a lot of fun to work with!

Nikole and Jon

I had fun working with Nikole's family and it was great to be with Jon's family again as I had photographed both his sisters weddings years ago. The church was Trinity Lutheran in Kent where Nikole had a beautiful cloth aisle runner with their names and dates painted on it. They are a very family oriented couple and you could tell they loved sharing the day with all their close family and friends!

St. Haralambo's Hall Canton

Ashley and Joe were married Saturday at Little Flower Catholic church in Canton. It rained all morning and all during the ceremony but when it came time to walk out through some bubbles, the rained stopped! It stayed clear long enough to spend some time with them and their bridal party at the park. The reception was at St. Haralambo's hall. The hall was decorated beautifully with some curtains and nice accent lighting that made great backgrounds. The band "Jimmy and the Soulblazers" provided he entertainment for the evening. Joe's father played guitar in the band and that made the music even more special.
