anne and chris are married!

I have been neglecting my blogging duties as of late. Rest assured, I have many posts in the works.

First up are the awesome Anne and Chris. The two of them are just so sweet and nice and had a wedding full of interesting details and colors. The reception was held in the backyard of Chris’s parents and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Here’s Chris getting ready:

Amanda and Mike: The Cleveland Reception

You may remember Amanda and Mike from their Mexico wedding I posted about here. A few weeks later they had a reception in downtown Cleveland for everyone who was unable to attend the Mexico festivities. It was great seeing everyone again and I loved how the details of the wedding related to their Mexican ceremony.

We start again with getting ready, though this time around was of course much more relaxed.

Check out the awesome cake and the place cards that doubled as baggage tags.

Everyone got a little teary as they watched the video of the Mexican ceremony.

I photographed Amanda and Mike’s engagement session in and around Kent, OH. I love downtown Kent- there are so many great places to get pictures. Amanda and Mike were so fun to photograph as they were super laid back and cool. Here are some of my favorites:

These bikes were so cool.

lauren and dan’s esession

I met up with Lauren and Dan recently to photograph their engagement session at one of the Metroparks in Rocky River. One of the best things about being a wedding photographer is getting to explore so many different areas in the Greater Cleveland area. Rocky River was beautiful and so green. Lauren and Dan weren’t too bad either! They both had a ton of energy and were up for trying any silly thing I suggested. I love that. Here are some of my favorites from their session:

Here is Dan doing his best impersonation of an Olson Mills portrait:
