Leslie & Steve | Engagement | Edgewater Park

Leslie & Steve have their wedding planned for July 2013 in Independence, Ohio.  Steve is an engineer, and Leslie is studying to become an architect.  

They would love to have wedding photos taken in Cleveland, but the schedule on their wedding day is just too tight to squeeze in a trip up to the Lake...so we decided that Edgewater Park would be the ideal location for their engagement session.

And the weather was perfect for a sunset session on the shores of Lake Erie!  Leslie & Steve were positively adorable in front of the camera, and they are couple who look to have many wonderful happy years ahead!

Lesley & Robert | Engagement | University Circle

We had a sunset engagement portrait session with Robert & Lesley in the University Circle Cultural District in Cleveland.  They have their wedding planned for September 20.

Lillian & Marty | Wedding | Wade Park | DiVieste Banquet Room

Lillian & Marty were a true joy to work with!  Their entire wedding day was fun and relaxing.  This wedding was also very unique in that their ceremony was in three languages—first in Spanish, as Lillian's family is from Puerto Rico, second in American Sign Language, as Marty's parents are both deaf, and third into English.  Spanish was not Marty's first language, but he was successful (and entertaining!) in getting through his vows.

Lillian is completing her studies at Case Western Reserve University, which inspired the two of them to have their outdoor wedding portraits in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art and Severance Hall at Wade Park in Cleveland's beautiful University Circle Cultural District.

The bridal party pose below was inspired by an impromptu suggestion from Marty... "Everyone do your favorite Avenger!"

The reception was held at the DiVieste Banquet Rooms about an hour away in Warren, Ohio.  The father-daughter and mother-son dances were especially touching...

Our best wishes and congratulations go out to Lillian & Marty!

Lillian & Marty | Engagement | The Arcade

On a blustery fall day in Northern Ohio, it's a relief to be indoors for engagement portraits!  So we took  illian & Marty to one of the most beautiful buildings in the entire city—the Arcade in Downtown Cleveland's Gateway District.

Our couple has planned their wedding for July 2012.  It was fun spending time with them and we look forward to their wedding!
