• I met Christina last year at Erin’s wedding when she was the Maid of Honor and fell in love with her immediately. She was so easy going and game for anything that I suggested. I couldn’t wait to work with her this year and to have Erin revisit as Matron of Honor.

• Christina and Matt were one of my few colder weather engagement sessions and I am still quite obsessed with the jacket she wore.  So gorgeous!

• I say it EVERY time I work with him but here’s another shout out to the ever amazing Jason Kelly who did these girls makeup.  I was sad to have missed seeing him this time around but regardless the women looked fantastic and gorgeous all day long!

• I am so sad that one of my favorite places to take pictures in downtown Cleveland is no longer there  The park that used to be next to the Old Courthouse was so beautiful (I’ve visited it before with Deborah and Scott as well as with Carla and Craig and many others).  The area is going to be the new hospital so it’s all torn up and under construction.  Instead we made do with areas in and around the Courthouse which worked out perfectly.

• These guys were just so much fun to play with, they were willing to do anything I asked and just had fun!  I couldn’t ask for a better couple!

I arrived just in time to see Christina get into her gown and get a few final touch ups by her Matron of Honor Erin.

 

I love Christina’s laugh here as she’s being escorted down the aisle by her father.

 

SUCH a gorgeous church!

 

I loved the reflection on the glass of the doors into the chapel.

 

One of my favorite first kiss pictures ever!

 

By far one of the neatest details of the day, Christina’s bouquet had a piece of her mother’s wedding dress wrapped around the stems!  LOVE!

 

Last year I took a similar picture of these two when they saw Erin’s reception room so we recreated it.

 

This cake was so beautiful!

 

I absolutely adore this image of Christina and Matt at The Old Courthouse.

 

This was a fun shot that I really liked with the bridal party inside!

 

One of the requested images was a jumping shot…. this gang was fun!

 

I laugh every single time I see this image.  Erin, please be in more weddings of mine in the future.

 

The groomsman were quite handsome!

 

They are such a lovely couple aren’t they?

 

Believe it or not this is in a parking lot!

 

While it was a bit on the warm side, the day was absolutely gorgeous!

 

I love the way Christina’s dress is falling here!

 

The Old Courthouse has such a neat ceiling!

 

Before too many guests arrived, we got a shot from above to show off the gorgeous venue!

 

The toasts were heartfelt, wonderful and a wee bit hilarous!

 

I had to incorporate the amazing bouquet wrap into a ring shot!

 

I then had to play with one of the ring pops at their candy buffet.  I decided the M&M bowl looked like a great place to put them!

 

They danced to Shania Twain’s “From This Moment” which isn’t chosen too often but is such a lovely song for a first dance!

 

While I was shooting below, my husband captured this image from above of the first dance.

 

A lovely moment during the father daughter dance.

 

I loved this moment between Matt and his Mom.  So lovely!

 

This was a great party and a lot of fun!  When I was getting ready to leave the dance floor was packed and the party was rocking!   I love when I’m able to get views like this of the reception because it’s fun to see a birds eye view of how much fun everyone was having at once!

 

Thank you both for hiring me!  You were so much fun to work with!!!
