Jon & Heather | Rancho Palos Verdes Wedding

Heather and Jon were married in sunny southern California on a gorgeous summer day last August.  This was a very special wedding to me(Nelli) because it was my younger cousins wedding!  It was a time that all my family would be coming together.  I always get a new prespective whenever I get to photograph a family wedding.  Being with family the week before, anticipating the wedding and having our children as part of the wedding is so special.  It shows me how to relate with the couples that we photograph and to value those special moments of family being together.  Our daughter Alicia was my second shooter, which made it super fun:) It was also a special day because my parents were there, and it was their 40th wedding anniversary!!

Heather and Jon are both very talented musicians and actually met from being cast in the same musical production! The wedding was a very special day for both of them to bring together their families. They knew they wanted a beach themed wedding, so they chose the location, Point Vincente Interpretive Center in Palos Verdes that overlooked the Pacific Ocean.  The day couldn’t have been more beautiful with all the handmade decorations, perfect weather, awesome music and loving family.  Heather and Jon put together a band of very talented musicians and even surprised everyone with a guest appearance of both of them singing to wrap up the night!  Everyone who attended was totally blown away by their musical talents and also the love they share.

Congrats Heather and Jon!

Kyle + Allison | Married. Kyle and Allison had their wedding ceremony at the beautiful St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Cleveland and their reception at the Union Club. For a mid-November wedding, I think we were all pleasantly astonished by a perfect day. Though they had previously reserved a few spots to do indoor photos, we stayed outside the whole time and enjoyed one of the last warm days of the year. The week leading up to the event was difficult for Allison and Kyle. They lost power for several days following the storm and fought through some sickness, but they both agreed that the beauty of their wedding day made all the trials worth it. Here’s a look at one of my favorites from the day…Here is Kyle + Allison | Married photos.

Nicole + Phil | MarriedNicole and Phil feel like close friends. We had an adventurous engagement session with them last year where we went on a hike in Cuyahoga National Park. Since then we have been looking forward to the wedding for a lot of reasons. Spending time with them is a lot of fun, and we knew their wedding would be amazing. It included several great locations for photography. The ceremony was at the Old Stone Church and the Reception was at the Shoreby Club. These are two great locations. Also, the flowers were done by Pieter Bouterse Studio. I really admire their work as well. The best thing about the day was seeing the joy on Nicole and Phil’s faces from the beginning to the end. Meeting their amazingly supportive family and friends was a highlight as well. I hope you enjoy a few of the images from this special day. Check Nicole + Phil | Married pictures
