Cat & James @ Mon Ami Winery

By November 21, 2012January 10th, 2018Wedding

I adore these two. I simply adore them. They are not just clients, but rather friends -people whom I’ve had the joy of documenting their most special day with while I got to know them.Candid cleveland wedding photographerTheir wedding images can simply be best summed up in one word; Story. The presence of so many great candid moments in their photojournalistic wedding photography carries so much weight. The subtle glances and little laughs of their friends and family will always carry such a story for them through the years to come.Modern Cleveland wedding photographerThe bandaid story? James had tripped the night before the wedding, and split open his chin (poor guy!) on some concrete. The two spent the night before their wedding in the emergency room! With just a few stitches poking out of his whiskered chin, it sounds worse than it appeared thankfully!Candid cleveland wedding photographerBeing a photojournalistic wedding photographer in cleveland, I’m used to my images telling the story of a couples wedding day. I think wedding photography is so important, as without it, so many memories can be lost to time.Photojournalistic wedding Photographer in ClevelandWhat does this image say to you (top most image)? I think it so clearly and quickly shares the nerves and bits of stress Cat was feeling leading up to her wedding at Lakeside in Port Clinton. A photojournalistic wedding photographer can capture moments like this – isolated little moments that can speak so much.Lakeside ohio wedding photographerBefore their wedding at the lakeside hotel, all the ladies proudly displayed their unique and differed wedding shoes. It was a cute little individual touch for Cat’s bridesmaids.Wedding Photographer at lakeside ohioAs I mentioned, the wedding took place atThe Old Hotel in Lakeside Ohio. It was a fun outdoor wedding in Port Clinton, ohio, and I took so much joy in being a photojournalistic wedding photographer in cleveland as I quickly snapped images of the guests awaiting the ceremony.Wedding Photographer at lakeside ohioCat looked STUNNING as she walked towards James during her wedding at the Old Hotel in Lakeside, Ohio. Why is she laughing? Her guests are all playing on kazoos that James and the men had placed on the seats.
