Michelle and Nick - Wedding of 5/22/10

I had a great time photographing Michelle and Nick's wedding last Saturday. Despite some ominous weather threatening the plans for an outdoor wedding, the weather held out (barely!). I have to say that Michelle and Nick had such a great group of family and friends - it was really a pleasure spending time with them.

Their ceremony and reception was held at Michaud's in Strongsville - and I was so impressed with both the beautiful grounds outside and the wonderful staff.

Dad stopped by just Michelle was getting ready to walk down the aisle. They hugged. As he watched her walk away, he was overcome for a moment and said out loud, "Wow." She turned to look at him.

One of the customs they incorporated into their reception was the Filipino money dance. Money was placed into the grooms teeth, who then passed it to his bride to receive. This was so incredibly funny at times -- and definitely a money dance I won't forget!!...
