David & Brittany | Married!

This is a special blog entry for me because it’s David’s wedding! When David first started working with me here at Finest Moments, I knew right away he was special. He has an eye for beauty and a really creative outlook. Chances are, if you’ve followed our blog for a while, you might recognize David. He’s been a trusty sidekick at many weddings with both me and Mat. He’s also been a lightroom guru during the days of 70+ weddings and year and my leading fashion counselor;) I never imagined that in a short time I would be photographing his marriage. David and I have spent quite a bit of time together. I remember editing photos with him in the studio a few days after he met Brittany. It seemed like he’s was talking real serious about her real soon. He had found his match. I met Brittany a few times before the wedding, but photographing the wedding is where I really saw what captivated David. It just seems like when they are together there is an abundance of joy. That’s a good thing. I think you will see what I mean. Here’s one of my favorites from the day…

Congrats David and Brittany! We love you guys and are excited to see the path you blaze together. Jesse + Nelli

Theresa & Miguel | Married

Miguel and Theresa are both living in New York City these days, but celebrated their wedding at a few of my favorite downtown Cleveland locations: St. John’s and the Old Courthouse. We started the day off at the Hyatt Arcade, where both Miguel and Theresa were getting ready. I could tell as soon as I met all the groomsmen, family and bridal party that this was going to be a fun day. You could see right away how happy everyone was for these two. Nelli and I both really appreciated Theresa and Miguel’s style. From the planning packet they sent out, to the decorations, to their avatar logo – it was all super stylish. You could tell that they were artists that used their wedding to express their style, and I love that. Here’s one of my favorites…

Thank you so much Miguel and Theresa. It’s was great to be able to spend this day with you. It was great meeting all of the family and guests. Congrats to you both! We’re looking forward to hearing about the honeymoon.

Jason + Alison | Married

Through the years of capturing the memories of couples in love, I’m fairly certain that I have never seen a couple more excited to get married than Jason and Alison. They had a short engagement, but made the most of that time by planning one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever had the privilege to attend and document. The first time I sat down with these two I felt like I could talk with them for hours. They felt like friends almost immediately. We knew the flowers were going to be amazing. Once again, Peter Bouterse Studio made some exceptional arrangements from the orchids. The ceremony and reception were both held at the Intercontinental. The rooms looked elegant and classy. The highlight was witnessing Jason and Alison’s love for one another. I’m sure for everyone who witnessed Jason and Alison’s wedding day, it was a healthy dose of joy and inspiration….and orchids:) We are so thankful we could be a part of it. Here’s one of my favorites of the day pictures for Jason + Alison | Married.

Jason + Alison | Married so Congrats Jason and Alison! We wish you a blessed life together and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Kyle + Allison | Married

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.

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed working on them. Thank you Allison and Kyle for choosing us to capture these moments. I’m excited to show you the rest.

Nicole + Phil | Married

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

Congrats Phil and Nicole! It was an amazing day. We’re looking forward to seeing you when you get back from the Island.
