Jen and Craig - A Halloween Wedding
2009-11-07Before I went over the details with Jen about her Halloween wedding I was not sure what to expect. A wedding with that theme can go a few different directions, but as the pictures will show it was certainly a fun experience. Jen and Craig were both gravely (pun intended) sick the week of the wedding, but you would not be able to tell from their action. They had a great time and we were lucky to have some nice weather.



Instead of bubbles, they opted for trick-or-treat whistles.






You sure cannot have a Halloween themed wedding without a vampire shot...

...or a Friday the 13th one either.



The groom as Gumby...and the best man thought his speech would be well received as a microphone.


This cake was amazing!

...and the guests!




We went for a few more photos the day after the wedding. There was a park with a Halloween walk near by that we planned on shooting at for a while ahead of time. But when we got there we were pleasantly surprised, for all the decorations were intact (like the sea of jack-o'-lanterns below) and even the small haunted houses were available for shooting in.




Jen & Craig:
We LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures and are anxiously awaiting the rest! Mat and his wife suggested the coolest place ever for the next day session. Although we know Mat didn
Nancy:
What can I say but AWESOME pictures!
jesse:

Riki and Brien Married!
2009-11-06I couldn't have asked for a sweeter wedding to close out my shooting season. Riki broke my all-time record by hiring me 3 days before the wedding. Normally, I book weddings about a year in advance. I'm so glad she got a hold of me because I was able to capture a truly unique wedding. The ceremony and reception were in a converted warehouse in Cleveland. It was a smaller group of family and friends. I could tell right away that Brien and Riki were the creative types. Everything they did with the wedding had such a neat style. Best of all, they were up for trying anything with photos and allowed me to experiment (see last 2 photos) :)
Enough said...Take a peak
This mirrored stairwell caught my attention immediately. I even managed a few self-portraits







The gentleman were keeping the gals warm on this one. It was a beautiful, but chilly november day.










This group was so fun. They enjoyed an leaf throwing war for a while.
Here's my fave



No unity candles for these two. They elected to stoke the fire with their unity torches. I loved how the close family was so involved with the ceremony. And Brien and Riki of course wrote their own vows.
Here is the setting for their November in Cleveland outdoor wedding. I was big fan.

I wasn't the only pro the job at night as you can see.
Here was are parting shot. I think these two will always be happy together.
Congrats Riki and Brien on a great wedding celebration. I'm glad I could be a part of it.
DeAnna:

Alys and Matt - Married!
2009-11-04Kristin (my wife and talented second shooter) and I had a great shoot the other Saturday. The day was a bit chilly but we had good light and Matt and Alys were terrific to work with. We loved the laid-back nature of everyone and we hope they enjoy the pictures. [Also, Matt's father was from Sicily and runs a bakery. At the reception we were able to partake in his delectable treats and boy were they amazing. I have had a few canolies in my life and they were nothing to get excited over, but these were to die for!]


They decided to go with small edible hearts instead of bubbles or rice etc. and after shaking them out of their clothing for the rest of the evening, I think they would have decided differently if they could turn back time.
Matt seems to have concluded that "If you cannot beat them - you should eat them" (and no I am not above being cheezy now and again).








Alys and Matt chose the song "All I Want Is You" by Barry Louis Polisar (from the movie Juno) as their first dance song. It was a choreographed event and it was delightful. Everyone was entertained and they seemed to have enjoyed it themselves.

yohan:
Awesome. The last 2 shots, and the first two and the ones in the middle...All good
Alys:
Thanks Mat and Kristen. The pics look great so far. Can

Married! - Alicia and Tim
2009-10-29I am wrapping up a very long stretch of weddings and blogging them has been a task. That being said, I still feel that I have not reached the end of this season's excitement. Tim and Alicia were a great couple to work with and their laid back nature made shooting a breeze. As you might be able to derive from a few of the pics there was a bit of a country theme to the day. Although I do not own one country music album, I have spent most of my life in a small farming community and have always felt the relaxed nature of country culture a delight to be around. This wedding was no exception.
