Colleen & Joe | Engagement

Cleveland Wedding Photographer These two laugh a lot. And I love it. As a photographer, I know it can be awkward to have your picture taken, but Colleen and Joe literally forgot the camera was there and were just absorbed with each other. These two are just really good people. They care about philanthropy and helping others and they are just happy human beings. Perfect clients, I say! :)

Colleen and Joe will tie the knot in December in downtown Cleveland. I'm super excited to work with them again (so soon!) and experience a winter Cleveland wedding. It's going to be a beautiful day!

Sarah & Jon | Wedding

Club at Hillbrook Wedding Sarah and Jon are THE sweetest people ever. They have this quiet relationship that you just know is super strong. Sarah says that her favorite thing about Jon is that he puts her before himself, but just from observing them a few times, I would say that's mutual.

"We are pretty big homebodies, but it's because we would much rather be around only each other and have each other to ourselves," she said. "Most people get sick of each other after spending every possible moment together, but we love it."

See what I mean?

You guys, thank you for having me as your wedding photographer. It was a huge honor and I'm so thankful I got to witness the beginning of your marriage. The best to you both. 

Club at Hillbrook Wedding

Sarah and Jon had an intimate wedding at The Club at Hillbrook in Chagrin Falls. It's SUCH a gorgeous venue. I felt like I was at Downton Abbey the whole day. :)

The lovely Lindsay London beautified Sarah even more.

Get this: Because Sarah and Jon had a small wedding, they handmade each and every invitation ... and each of them was different!

Katie & Tim | Engagement

Cleveland Wedding Photographer Katie and Tim go way back. Like first grade way back. How awesome is that?! I'm so impressed by these soon-to-be Miami Mergers (yay Miami!). They've known each other almost their whole life but their relationship is so fresh and fun. And these two are genuine and nice to boot.

Check out their perfect fall engagement pictures featuring their dog, Wally. (How great is his hair?)
