Jillian and Kevin were married this past Saturday in one of those weddings that you swear walked RIGHT off of a magazine spread! The outfits, the flowers, the lighting, the decorations and all the details made for one of the most stunning weddings I have ever seen! We started the day out at the salon and stayed until almost the last song and every moment was breathtaking and amazing! I also was so excited to be able to have two FULL hours with the bridal party to go to various locations in Downtown Cleveland to make some amazing pictures. I could not have asked for a better day – or wedding – to shoot! Jillian and Kevin have that easy love that is tender yet fun at the same time and SUCH a blast to shoot! I love when my grooms aren’t camera shy!

Thanks to both Jillian and Kevin for choosing me to capture your special day for you! Also extreme thanks to Lisa Christine Photography for being my amazing second shooter for the day!

Jillian’s Mom stopped by the salon to wish her daughter luck!

Heidzillas stopped by to bring breakfast and mimosas!

Even though she was a bit nervous, Jillian managed to laugh quite a lot!

My second shooter Lisa headed over to where the guys were getting ready and was pretty shocked to see this when she got into the room! Like any good photographer, she took a picture and dropped her jaw later! I heard about this quite a few times throughout the day – from the groom, the groomsman that did this and from Lisa. The picture made me laugh a lot when editing!

Jillian’s friend lent her the something borrowed, something old and something blue in one ring – her friends great-great grandmother’s blue diamond ring. Isn’t it STUNNING? Of course I had to take a detail shot of it!

I love the makeup part of the day… doesn’t she look amazing??

Jillian’s amazing gown!

Remember when I mentioned that I love getting this shot at the rehearsal? I was lucky to get it again the day of the wedding!

Lisa got this fun shot of them about to leave the church!

The official leaving – after the family formals at the altar.

This place wasn’t in our ‘route’ but the limo driver swore by this location for its views – I have to agree the the skyline is gorgeous from here!

A quick stop at Whisky Island/Wendy Park with the bridal party.

I think my favorite shot of the day… might have something to do with the shoes!

One of the few shots that the bride requested be done of her and the groom. She had a picture she sent and I tried to recreate it for her… I think it worked?

After I had some groomsman drop a groom I’ve stopped even MENTIONING this pose, however these guys were sturdy looking and were begging to do it… and this is the result. I was cracking up!

They did this unprompted!

While I was off doing shots with the bridal party, Lisa was back at Springvale Ballroom getting some amazing shots of the ballroom before the guests arrived.

A kiss after the toasts.

The first dance.

One of my favorite bouquet toss pictures ever 🙂

The guys were almost as feisty as the girls!

I loved that Jillian wasn’t afraid to put on her dancing shoes and really party after all the formalities were over with. You have to give mad props to a gal who can dance in heels (no flip flops for this bride!), in a gown and still have these moves!!! She’s closer to the floor than anyone else out there!!! *high fives*

Thanks again for such a wonderful day and for having me along!!!!!
