Gabby and Joey's Wedding
Brilliantly Beautiful

St. John Bosco and Woodside Event Center at St. Michael's Wedding After one of the most sweltering July’s I have ever experienced, August 2019 started with an impeccable day for Gabby and Joey’s wedding. There was not a cloud in the sky, the sun was absolutely glorious, and the temperature mimicked a mid-September day. Gabby and Joey are exactly as pictured…beautiful people inside and out, and one of the friendliest, most sincere couples...

Marissa and Nick's Engagement
Cleve (Land That I Love)

Downtown Cleveland Engagement Photoshoot I absolutely love my job and all my couples. I have so many memories of meeting couples for the first time as strangers, but walking away extremely comfortable, and then becoming friends during the engagement session. Marissa and Nick illustrate this perfectly. In honor of their upcoming wedding, I wanted to post some highlights from their engagement session last August. Nick and Marissa have a real...

Up, Up and Away!

After getting to know them so well at Andrea and Joe’s wedding, I knew their engagement session downtown was going to be extraordinary. I could just visualize working with them so clearly.

Having meet Zack at a previous wedding, and starting the season off with a late winter engagement session, I became very...

A Wedding at St. Basil Church in Brecksville As we get ready to ring in the new year, I wanted to revisit the two-year anniversary of Liz and Brian, and their immaculate New Year’s Eve wedding. Anyone who knows Liz and Brian will tell you they are one of the nicest and most genuine couples on earth. Their personalities and smiles transmit so easily, and they exemplify a “Rising Star” couple. You may find that you neglected your resolution...

Torey and Ben's Engagement
A Romance That Started with a Tweet

Originally from Brecksville, Torey had moved to Columbus, graduated from Ohio State and started her professional career. She started following Ben on Twitter to keep up with Ohio State news, but also thought he was cute and wanted to get his attention. So one December night she tweeted that she wanted to go on a date, and then went to bed. The next morning she was elated to see that Ben accepted. Three years later Ben proposed at the top of the...
