I often tell couples when they’re considering booking us as their wedding photographers that our photos speak for themselves.  When I say that, I mean that I don’t like to dilute the value of our artwork by trying to use inefficient or trendy descriptive words to over-define the moments we’re trying to capture.

Jewish weddings clevelandIt’s true.  And I find myself so badly wanting to use words to do the same thing; to help paint a broader canvas for the wedding day and love story of these two people I care about and like immensely.  I’ll do my best.

Cleveland Wedding PhotographyHumbly I ask; would you be patient with my attempt here? Mere words can’t do these two, or their wedding day justice?


We’ll start here – with the above; their wedding Fusion Film.  Where words and even wedding photography will not suffice, the above wedding video might do a better job.  We’re not just wedding photographers in Cleveland; our staff houses an in house Cinema Team [ lead by the ever-amazing Anna ] and we get to craft some of the best work you’ll ever see.  Ok; enough of the humble brag here; enjoy the film!

Wedding Photography in ClevelandAs for my words?  Let’s start right here; Liz’s friends.

It’s rare when I connect with other people who had the same military job as me [ ninja – assassin if you’re curious; it’s top-secret so I can’t talk about it but most of my work was saving the world with lasers ]  My friend Jeff is Aaron’s brother; we work together quite often [ much love to my Rock the House friends! ]

Cleveland Wedding PhotographyYASSS.  I love my polaroids.  I love how Aaron loves Liz too.  I wouldn’t let him see his bride before their private introduction [ below ].

Tenk westbank weddingAs a wedding gift, I left behind the polaroids from their day for them to keep while I edited the rest of their wedding photographs.

Jewish weddings clevelandI’m SURE many of you are asking “Why the title of this blog?  Why Exchanging Vowels?”  I wish I could claim credit for what I consider to be the very best wedding hashtag I’ve seen to date.  This is all their brilliance.  Liz and Aaron have very similar the same last names; if you simply swap one vowel from Aaron’s last name to Liz’s?  You’re set!

Tenk Cleveland weddingDirectly before their jewish wedding ceremony at Tenk West Bank in the flats, our bride and groom had a quick moment to survey their wedding Chuppah and lovely decor.  Who made all this amazingness happen you ask?  The amazing artisans at Plantscaping & Blooms!  SO thankful for all their hard work!

Tenk Cleveland Wedding CeremonySeriously.  This is one of the most amazing wedding Chuppahs I’ve ever seen in Cleveland.

Tenk Cleveland Wedding ReceptionTenk West Bank is a newer wedding reception venue in Cleveland; located in the flats, this warehouse style reception venue is perfect for combining the dichotomy of an industrial setting with the luxe and fine feels of careful decor.  We’ve photographed a few wedding receptions at Tenk this year, and are absolutely in love with the venue.
