Andrea & Henry | Cleveland Botanical Garden Wedding

Cleveland Film Wedding PhotographerAndrea and Henry planned THE most unique wedding I've ever photographed. Ever. The lovely Meredith of Rain Wedding Planning brought it to life and the whole day was just a ball. As for how these two met? They tell it best, and it's too good for me to paraphrase!

"Once upon a time, both Henry and Andrea moved from California to Seattle. Henry, not knowing anybody in the area, turned to the magic of computers to help him find new friends. He searched the internet high and low, from hobby meetup groups to dating sites, looking for interesting people of all types. In his searches he found many friends, and he also found Andrea. Andrea's page asked some very peculiar questions about Batman actors and Disney movies.

Henry wrote to her and answered the questions truthfully — Kevin Conroy is clearly the best Batman, even if he only contributed his voice to the animated series — and closed with:

'You and I should get coffee some time. I think it's going to be AWESOME.'

Four months later, there was a cat.

They took trips to Hawaii and Paris. They sampled the best restaurants in Seattle. They baked cookies and watched movies and played board games and bought a house. They stood on top of the Space Needle and ate gelato under shooting stars. And after an endless onslaught of beautiful, spontaneous, romantic moments in which Henry did not propose, he asked Andrea to marry him. On the couch. After an episode of Game of Thrones.

She said yes. And that's how we know that it's going to be awesome."

Andrea and Henry, your whole wedding day was … awesome. Just plain awesome. I'm so honored to have been there and captured each beautiful piece. Cheers to you guys!

One of those themes was dinosaurs. Can you find the dinosaur hidden in the bouquet above? I absolutely adore how Andrea and Henry integrated their interests and personalities into their wedding details.

Jocelyn & Aaron | Tudor Arms Cleveland Wedding

Cleveland Film Wedding PhotographerJocelyn and Aaron met in the ER … but it's not like you probably think. Aaron was on his ER rotation for med school and Jocelyn was working in the admitting department. He asked her out (a couple times), and she said yes. What a perfect boy-meets-girl story for this doctor and nurse.

These two--both of them--have hearts of solid gold. You really couldn't meet nicer people than Jocelyn and Aaron, and it just makes sense that they're together. They're both so poised, genuine, articulate, kind and full of light.

"Jocelyn can light up a room with how she smiles and with her personality," Aaron said. "She is also beautiful and smart."

Yes, yes and yes!

"Aaron's compassion for others and his patience [are my favorite things about him]," Jocelyn said. "He is always looking at the positive side of everything!"

Yes, yes and … yes! :)

I know I sound like a broken record every time I post a wedding but every, single one of my clients is fantastic. I really can't say anything else except continue to gush over them, and Jocelyn and Aaron are no exception. I feel so very fortunate to meet the lovely people I do and have the opportunity to document one of the biggest days of their lives!

And now, on to Jocelyn and Aaron's wedding ...

So sweet!
