The sun peaked over the roof of the Glidden House just as we were putting the final touches on the cake table. I snapped away and secretly did a few fist pumps. Some days I really can't believe I get to be a photographer in real life, and yesterday was one of those days. I got to be part of the fabulous creative team that put together an Oz-inspired styled shoot, complete with a bride and groom, dainty flowers spilling out of teapots, and lots and lots of emerald and gold. I can't WAIT to share all these photos with you but for now it's just a sneak peek. You guys.

And if that's not enough excitement for one post, I also get to give away two pairs of tickets to Cleveland Magazine's Silver Spoon Awards party happening from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15 at the InterContinental Hotel downtown! :D This is a charitable event that benefits the Arthritis Foundation (of Northeast Ohio) and it includes food-tasting from more than 40 fantastic local spots, including Deagan's, Hodge's and Spice Kitchen + Bar. Plus, wine is included. How can you say no to wine? Or live entertainment, a raffle and a silent auction? The answer is you can't.

To top it off, I get to photograph the event! I'm really looking forward to this, and I want a few of you guys to join me. To enter to win one of the pairs of tickets, please leave a comment below telling us how you choose to give back. You may enter one time between now and Sunday, May 12 at midnight. I'll post/contact the winners on Monday and mail the tickets ASAP! I can't wait to see some of you at this great event!
