Angelitta and Ray - June 27 Wedding - part one

Angelitta and Ray were married on June 27th and a quaint Baptist church in Cleveland. What struck me most was how close and caring and welcoming they were! I felt genuine love all around the house :-) This post is going to be mostly about Angelitta -- graceful and elegant are only two words to describe this beautiful (inside and out) woman. I'll post more of their wedding day, but wanted to get these up because they are just too lovely to wait :-)

The BP Building in Downtown Cleveland has this very majestic glass building front that faces Public Square. Just before we left for the reception I asked if they would pose for one last series of pictures - this photo is one of several that I love.


Angelitta glides down the staircase at the Mediterranian Party Center in Bedford Heights...a beautiful place.


her beautiful dress - I threw a little zest in my processing on this to bring out the detail.

Maria, thank you again for rescheduling us, at the last minute, and taking time out of your Sunday to do our photographs. Your talent is amazing!! The pictures turned out wonderful. We are going to have a very hard time choosing prints. I was so excited to see them that I have shared them with just about everyone on my contacts list and I have gotten nothing but compliments on them. I almost want it to be October already just so I can see the wedding pics. Again, thank you.

Thank you Rachael, for your kind words. I completely enjoyed the session with you and Jon! I'm really looking forward to capturing your wedding.

Rachael and Jon - Engagement Session

I met up with Rachael and Jon at Schoepfle Gardens - a beautiful and serene setting set in Birmingham, Ohio (which, by the way doesn't show up on my GPS system -- a hidden gem for sure!). I can already tell that their wedding will be filled with sincere and genuine love and laughter. They were fun to photograph!

Meana and Michael - Engagement Session

Whew...it's been a busy weekend! I met Meana and Michael this morning at Shoepfle Gardens in Birmingham, Ohio. Another gorgeous place! Honestly, I think that the MetroParks system in Cleveland and surrounding areas cannot be beat.

Meana and Michael -- laughter, warmth, love, and a genuine pleasure to share in each other's company is how I best describe them. Being around them just made me happy :-)

Here are a few that caught my eye...

Kera and Craig's Engagement Session

Kera and Craig's Engagement Session was scheduled on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. It was the only two-hour time period that it rained this entire weekend. We spent most of our time playing the waiting game in the gazebo. We made the most of it, though, and I got to know Kera and Craig and enjoyed our time together. :-). I loved the location -- the Mill Creek MetroParks Rose Garden in Youngstown. I'm really excited about their wedding there next month!
