Mike and Lesia have always been one of my favorite couples. I knew we were going to have an awesome wedding based on the engagement session that we did before. They have the love. A lot of love.
It’s the best shooting these kind of people. Everything just goes so smoothly and we got a ton of amazing images. I would love to show you the results. π
Mike and Lesia both got ready at the Hyatt Arcade. It was amazing as per usual.
I just loved the Zyga family. π
We did a “father/brother” first look prior to the wedding – it was so sweet to see Lesia unveiled to two of the most important men in her life at one moment. Pretty cool!
Their wedding was at St. Andrews, it was a Ukrainian Catholic wedding, full of old world tradition.
It’s the little things that make a day so special.
Lots of great emotion going down the isle!
You know your dad loves you when you see a look like that on his face as he gives you away ladies!
Ukrainian Catholic weddings are fun to photograph – they have really cool traditions with Crowns and such.
Great success… High five!
Lots of bubbles…
… and bubblies π
We were making great time so I thought we could make a bonus stop to case western for some beauteous nature. Casual and candid wedding photography makes for the best images.
And you have to mix it up a bit!
Another great idea for Bridesmaids gifts. They all looked really nice and yet really unique.
Then I fused the wedding party together to make a supergroup!
Mike did something I will never forget. Sometimes I say things like look of into your hopes and dreams just to get them to, for one look anywhere but the camera, for two to get a laugh out of them. Mike surprised me when he looked right at Lesia. Well played Mike. π It made for a great, real moment.
How awesome are these guys? I was happy with pretty much everything we did. They could do no wrong.
Wedding Cake by Luna Bakery and Cafe – super sweet!
The cocktail hour at their wedding reception at the Hyatt Arcade was amazing and full of life.
Loved this staircase and all the lights of the Hyatt Arcade. Really get place to have a reception.
Having your first dance at the Hyatt Arcade is so lovely – all the strung lights really make for something wonderful.
LOVE this.
And the party ROCKED thanks to the help of Cleveland Music Entertainment Group (formerly Jerry Bruno Productions)
Wedding Receptions at the Hyatt Arcade in Cleveland are SO much fun!
FLIP!! I got it!!
Again guys, thank you. The Making the Moment motto, “Come as Clients, Leave as Friends” says it all. I had an awesome time and I hope you enjoy these images forever. π
