What a LOT of changes Rachel and Craig had to endure!! Originally their wedding was scheduled for June at the Union Club in downtown Cleveland. That date had to change due to the restrictions on gatherings so they shifted to the end of August. While things were lifting, there were still a lot of restrictions to they opted to switch up their wedding to having their ceremony at Fairmount Temple and a small outdoor reception at Mayfield Country Club and postponing the larger celebration to 2021.
Since things were still SO up in the air, it was comforting to me that Rachel and Craig took so many precautions – staying under 20 people, everyone masked indoors, and having temperatures taken when arriving at the ceremony.
While it wasn’t the day they had initially envisioned, it was still a beautiful day full of love. Rachel’s family was SO sweet and welcoming from the moment I met them during their meeting through the time I left from their reception they held in 2021. Craig’s family was also super lovely to get to know over the span of a year as well (STILL obsessed with his Mom’s gown!). Rachel and Craig were just SUCH a delight to work with. If you have to work with clients for the span over a year, these were the two to do it with. While I had other clients who had small ceremonies prior to their bigger event held later, these two ended up being the only ones that I would photograph both events for.
I’m blogging the first of their events now and will blog the second later. HUGE congratulations to you both! I hope that BOTH wedding days were perfect for you!
