I loved looking back and reflecting on Caitlyn and Simone’s wedding so so much! I had just the best day with these two, they were so relaxed and just had a great day together. Caitlyn got ready at the Ariel International Center and they opted to do their first look up on the spectacular rooftop where they would later say I Do before heading over to the Cleveland Museum of Art for photos with their family and bridal party before the wedding. It’s not often we are able to do this but it all worked out SO well and both of their families were just the best to work with!
It was Labor Day weekend and if you’re from the Cleveland area or have been you know what that means – loud planes. My clients either love it or hate it but these two embraced it for the random chaos it was and I’m still happy I managed to capture a couple photos with the planes photobombing them!
Their ceremony was SO emotional and everyone was crying happy tears by the end!
The reception was so much fun and the scheduling was lax enough to allow for photos during sunset and before I left with the Cleveland skyline.
It has been a while since I’ve been at the Ariel International Center for a wedding and it was a joy to return for such a beautiful day. Luckily I got to see this sweet couple again this past summer for some family photos and I hope that wasn’t the last time I see them!
Congrats to you both and thank you so much for trusting me to capture your day!
