•  You may remember George and Kerry from their fantastic fall engagement session last year.  Ahhh.  I still can’t get over how beautiful the area was that we were at!

•  This couple came recommended to me from past clients Craig & Carla, George was one of Craig’s groomsman and they swapped roles for this wedding.  I love when I get to see past clients!

•  Their August wedding was one of the first ones where we thankfully got a bit of a break from the crazy heat we had here in Ohio.  It was still warm but not the 100º temps we had been working with for over a month.  The guys were VERY thankful!

•  One thing I absolutely LOVE about this couple is that they have something in common with me – they live in Kerry’s Grandmother’s house!  I live in my Grandparents house (which was then my house growing up after they passed) so I absolutely understand Kerry’s love for her home.  After the wedding we stopped back there for portraits before going to other locations and I am so glad we did.

•  Due to construction, The Avengers film set and the Browns and Indians games getting out at the same time we left it took us 90 MINUTES to get out of downtown Cleveland.  Holy mackerel!  I’m still a bit dazed at that one!

I adored Kerry’s dress and her shoes.  So amazing!

 

I loved the mirror and inlaid chandeliers at Kerry’s house so I decided to place her shoes on them.  It was a bit tricky getting this image without me in the mirror but it worked out in the end!

 

The first time I ever took this shot was at Jillian and Kevin’s wedding here in 2008!

 

I love this moment between George and Kerry during the ceremony.

 

Love laughs!

 

We took a few portraits of the bridal party at George and Kerry’s house and my favorite by far is this one of everyone relaxed on the porch.

 

 

I adored Kerry’s bridesmaids dresses, so elegant!

 

Aren’t they so cute!?!

 

Favorite!!!!

 

Thank you Mr Anonymous car for stopping so we could get this picture!

 

I loved how the crowd started clapping for George and Kerry!  So sweet!

 

Not a bad place to display a cake eh?

 

Such a gorgeous reception setup by the Hyatt at The Arcade in Cleveland!

 

Martini glasses awaiting to be filled with mashed potatoes for their mashed potato bar!

 

Loved their entrance into the reception down the stairs at The Arcade!

The toasts were funny and sweet.

Final image before I left of George and Kerry on the gorgeous stairs at The Arcade.
