Jessica + Matthew | 1 YEAR!

Jessica + Matthew | 1 YEAR! Jessica and Matthew’s wedding a year ago was one of my favorite weddings. I remember editing the images was a difficult task because they were all looking good. They are really good subjects to photograph – naturals. I consider making people feel comfortable one of my strongest points and love using my camera to show the joy and beauty of people. These two make photography really easy. I like shooting weddings and engagements, but Anniversary sessions have to be my favorite of all. Isn’t it great to see a couple who is even more in love the next year? Marriage is a journey with an lot of ups and downs. Anyone who’s been married for very long will tell you that it’s not always easy, but love grows deeper through every trial and every tough decision. We have a tradition where couples hire people like me to help capture the celebration of marriage (falling in love) – the initial commitment. I think it would be great if couples utilized photography as a way of celebrating staying in love. That’s what Matthew and Jessica did. I hope you enjoy the images for Jessica + Matthew | 1 YEAR!…

Congrats on year 1 Jessica and Matthew. We had a great time with you and look forward to seeing you soon.

Bhavan + Mandeep | Engaged!

Bhavan + Mandeep | Engaged! Bhavan and Mandeep celebrated their engagement with their closest friends and family members. We had the honor of working with Bhavan’s sister Jasmin and her husband Raj at their wedding 2 years ago. It’s still one of the most memorable weddings for Nelli and myself. We felt showered with kindness and hospitality throughout the day. Bhavan and Mandeep’s event was no different. I especially enjoyed the hour we had doing photos in the forest. They made our job so easy. Sometimes it takes a while to build toward the natural, authentic expressions that I look for. With Bhavan and Mandeep, all we needed was a beautiful, peaceful place to go for a walk. You could tell they were cherishing the moment as we captured it. Here’s one of my favorites…Bhavan + Mandeep | Engaged! photos

I definitely had a difficult time choosing my favorites. Maybe you can help in the comments below? 😉

Congrats Scott and Giovanna! This session made me even more excited for the big day. See you soon.

Vikram + Stasha | Married Part 1

Stasha and Vikram were married at the new Westin in Downtown Cleveland. Here are a few highlights from the celebration the night before. We loved the colors in Stasha’s dress. You could tell how happy everyone was for this event to be here. Look for more of the wedding day coming soon!

Katie + Cody | Engaged!

Our engagement session with Katie and Cody was one of the first really nice evenings on the lake. I enjoy taking photos at Edgewater because it gives you a beautiful cityscape, nice walking paths and the lake at sunset. The most important aspect of an engagement session is being able to see your couple’s relationship through the lens. That’s what made this session with Katie and Cody so enjoyable. Nelli and I came up with a few ice-breakers to get to know them a little bit more. By the end of the evening we felt like close friends and you could definitely see how happy these two are together. We will certainly be looking forward to the wedding. Katie + Cody | Engaged! For now, here are a few of my favorites…
