Michelle again…It’s almost wedding season and I can’t wait! I absolutely love getting the opportunity to go through wedding photos with clients and help couples pick out their favorites for their unique custom designed album. That’s right, all of our albums are custom designed to reflect the couples’ very special day! Here is a glimpse of one of my personal favorites…Enjoy!

A completely relaxed bride, a fun bridal party, and a summer day without a cloud in the sky… Those were some of the components that made up Rich and Eileen’s amazing wedding day at Inn Walden in Aurora, Ohio. I laughed a lot throughout this wedding day– from the Cleveland Indians garter, the bride and groom lookalike bobble-heads, the giant mud puddle I happened to crawl into while photographing the couple, to the bee’s nest below the bridesmaids… We had a lot of fun, and got great bridal portraits and wedding photos! Rich and Eileen allowed for plenty of time in the day’s schedule, which made it a whole lot easier. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding photos!

Last Sunday was a great day!  It began with the birth of my newest nephew, and continued on with the beautiful wedding of Rachel and A.J!  The weather cooperated for us, and we were able to get awesome wedding photos both inside and outside at Landerhaven.  Highlights from the night included a candy bar that I couldn’t walk by without snagging a malted milk ball (shhhh!) and the awesome tunes of IMAGES band (www.ohioweddingmusic.com)!

Here are some of my favorite bridal & wedding party photos… 

Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day, guys!  Enjoy your honeymoon, and we’ll look at the rest of your wedding photos when you return.

Despite a grim weather report, the sun came out for this couple on their wedding day, and everything was beautiful at Firestone Country Club.  With their family all around them, the bride and groom were cool as cucumbers– Jenn even took over when the make-up artist didn’t show up!  This wedding was all about the marriage, and family– the way it should be– stress free, and full of love.  It was so much fun, and a pleasure to be a part of.  Especially when I got pulled on the dance floor at the end of the night!  

Although many couples are reluctant to see each other before the ceremony, I strongly encourage it.  The extra time allows us to take our time with the wedding photography, and really get the best shots.  If it’s the emotional reaction to seeing the bride in her dress you want, we are able to “stage” it much better given the proper setting.  Then, after the wedding, you don’t have to rush away from all the hugs and kisses!

Here are some of my favorite pre-ceremony portraits of Scott & Jenn!

Thanks for letting me photograph you wedding, guys– It was such a great time!  I can’t wait to show you all the great shots when you return from your “family-moon!”

I recently learned about a great new option for wedding, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or even family portrait albums…  The Finao albums are top of the line, flush-mount albums (meaning, they are made of high quality photographs that are mounted to the pages).  The Armour cover option is so cool, I can’t wait to get our sample to show off!  Armour is a printed metal cover upgrade – it’s thickness makes it stand up to knicks and scratches, and it looks so incredible!  With non-standard sizing, these albums definitely have an eye-catching appeal.

We’re putting our sample album together using this handsome guy’s recent Bar Mitzvah photos… Check out the Finao album image on the bottom-right.  

New Bar Mitzvah Album Option - Finao Armour Cover!

Stay tuned to see how the album turns out..!
