Sarah & Steve | Vintage Medina Ohio Wedding

Vintage Cleveland Ohio Wedding Sarah and Steve were friends in high school, although Sarah might not throw around the term "friend." All of sophomore year they rode the bus to and from school together, and Steve would flirt with Sarah. She complained to her family about the "annoying kid on the bus," but it must not have been TOO bad.

"I saw Sarah the first day [of riding the bus] and ever since have been hooked!" Steve said. "I flirted with her every day I saw her and made sure to get under her skin. Eventually she came around and started to see my cuteness."

A few years later, once college had started, they reconnected and started spending every free minute together. After five years of dating, Steve proposed ... on Valentine's Day nonetheless.

"Steve brings out the best in me," Sarah said. "He makes me laugh, and I can be completely comfortable around him. He is so supportive and, above all, patient. I couldn't imagine living without Steve."

Sarah and Steve, thank you for being an example of what marriage should like. You two are unbelievable sweet, and I wish you nothing but the best as you start this new journey. :)

Erin & Colin | Massimo Da Milano Ohio City Wedding

The Flats Cleveland Wedding She's the one who wants to take flight. He's the anchor. They complement each other that way. Erin and Colin met in college during freshman move in. It wasn't, however, until Erin tackled Colin in the hallway (yes, that petite girl tackled that 6-foot-something guy) that they started seeing more of each other.

"He is so calm, and I can read him like an open book," Erin said about Colin. "I love the way he smiles at me like I'm the only person in the world. He loves me unconditionally."

It's true that Colin only has eyes for Erin. After watching these two for just a few seconds, you can't help but grin at their sweet relationship. They are 100% enamored with each other.

"We share so much in common, have similar interests and can have conversations that few others can follow along," Colin said about Erin. "She's amazing and makes me happy."

Erin and Colin, what an honor it was to photograph your pure love. I think we can all learn from you guys. Here's to all your many adventures ahead!

Alexis & Brandon | Quail Hollow Wedding

Quail Hollow Ohio Wedding 9.14.13 was a good day. Alexis wins the prize for the most expressive bride I've ever photographed, and this wedding day is in the running for having the most beautiful weather at a wedding this year (that's a stacked category though). Oh, and Alexis and Brandon are some of the sweetest people I've ever worked with! Seriously, how do I get so lucky??

I knew I would like these two the minute Brandon told me he was a Phi Tau. Remember that fraternity I've mentioned working for in the past? Well, that would be Phi Tau. Those guys are a good bunch and Brandon is no exception.

Alexis and Brandon are incredibly hard working (Can you believe Alexis is currently in med school? Like, WHILE planning her wedding!), kind and passionate people, and I know they have an incredible journey ahead. I say this all the time, but what a blessing it is to meet people like these two on a regular basis.

Alexis and Brandon, thank you for being awesome. Period. :)
