Emily and Cory Get Married! 5/28/11

I had the true pleasure of photographing Emily and Cory's wedding last Saturday. It was nice to finally get to work with them, since they booked me over a year and a half ago! Emily and I have been friends on Facebook since she booked me, so it seems as if I know her so well -- one of the bonuses of social media, for sure!

What a gorgeous day! They were married at beautiful Our Lady of Angels Church in Rocky River, coincidentally by the very priest who married my husband and me nearly 28 years ago, and baptized all of our children! The weather cooperated -- warm and breezy.

I'm putting this on record as saying that this bridal party and guests are the most energetic dancers I've ever photographed! What a crazy fun bunch! Here are some photos of the day:

The bride and her bridesmaids met at Emily's Petite Salon in Tremont - great place - I love the open floor plan of this place! It made it so easy for the girls to chat.

and also for the flower girl to lead the bridesmaids in dance instruction!

The between ceremony and reception pictures were taken at Voinovich Park. We had to hike a little to get to where we wanted to be, since the place was packed with poofy prom dresses and other wedding parties. Cory gallantly carried his bride.

Kevin and Christine Get Married! May 7, 2011

I had such a wonderful experience at Christine and Kevin's wedding on May 7th! They were married at St. Clarence Church in North Olmsted (my parish!), and though the schedule was tight, we managed to get some awesome photos at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Reception was at Ridge Park Manor. I really enjoyed getting to know their family and friends as well! I got a big kick out of the bridal party frolics -- they were such a fun group!

Here are pictures from their day....
