Emily & Clay; The Arcade, Cleveland OH

I am so excited to post the super glamorous wedding of Emily & Clay who "tied the knot" last month!  This vintage inspired wedding was full of amazing details from the gorgeous necklace Emily wore (a piece from her Grandmother) to the lavish reception at The Arcade in Cleveland.  No detail was overlooked!  Emily and Clay are such a warm, fun couple and their friends and family had such a blast dancing the night away to a live band!  It was really our pleasure to get to photograph this fun day!  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from Emily and Clays wedding day!

Emily just has one of those smiles that is totally infectious!  I love this photo of her!

This photo reminds me of a shot from an old Hollywood movie.  Glamorous and gorgeous!  This photo was taken inside The Arcade on a massive staircase that was illuminated with thousands of tiny white lights.  

And we can't leave out Clay!  Clay is another natural in front of the camera.  This is my favorite shot from the day of him and I am sure that he is grinning at Emily who was standing just off camera!

Just such a beautiful and sweet couple.  I think this photo really captures how much they love each other!

This photo is my all time favorite shot from the day.  It was the last dance of the night and Emily and Clay were totally lost in this moment.  Love, love, love this photo!

Thanks Emily and Clay for letting us be a part of your big day!

Rebecca & Bill; Brome Howard Inn

You may remember Rebecca and Bill's faces from our beautiful engagement session in Annapolis, MD last year.  Well almost a year later we had the pleasure of photographing their amazing wedding at the Brome Howard Inn in St. Mary's City, MD.  I could not have picked a more beautiful location to shoot and Rebecca and Bill made this wedding so special for everyone there.  All the details were so well thought of and creative.  Rebecca and Bill wrote their own vows for the ceremony and I can honestly say they this was the first time I laughed and cried throughout a ceremony!  These two are perfect for each other!  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from their big day.

 I love this photo of Rebecca!  She is a total natural!  I was actually getting ready to pose all of her bridesmaids around her and I had to stop and shoot Rebecca because this was too perfect of a moment!

 Bill is a blast to photograph too!  Bill and Rebecca together are just a hilarious couple full of laughter and they really do try to make each other smile.  I have no doubt that this smile was caused by Rebecca doing something super funny behind me!

 This is my all time favorite shot of the day!  I LOVE Rebecca's smile and even though we can't see Bill's face I am sure he is just beaming back at his lovely bride.

 Classic, simple and elegant.  This is one of those photos for the Grandkids to look at one day!

I really don't think I need to say anything about this one!  Beautiful couple, beautiful setting and a beautiful sunset!   





Congratulations Rebecca & Bill!  

The Lownsbury Family, Piney Run Park

A big thank-you goes out to my friend Jen for introducing me to The Lownsbury Family.  Right after my session with The Haller Family their good friends The Lownsbury's arrived and I was able to photograph all the Haller and Lownsbury kids together for one memorable friends photo.  After our group photo it was off to photograph this super cute family!  Here are just a couple of my favorite photos from our session in the park!

I loved the clothing that Kristine choose for the kids!  Classic but fun black and white prints really made their photos pop!  And who can resist this little smile?!

 This is one of my favorite photos of PJ!  He is just so happy and has such a nice natural smile!

 It wouldn't be a family portrait session if we didn't add Mom and Dad in on the fun!

 This is another one of my favorites of brother and sister together!  Too cute!

Thanks Lownsbury Family for such a great session!  

The Haller Family; Piney Run Park

It's not often that I get to spend my day with 5 adorable kids but when I do get the chance it can be so much fun!  So when my amazing hairstylist Jen (who is responsible for making my hair look super cute and covering up all of those pesky grey hairs) asked if I would photograph her 3 little cuties plus their two adorable cousins how could I resist?  Four super sweet girls and one very cute little fellow let me chase them around, pose them and play with them to get these great photos.  There may have been some bumps and bruises and maybe even some tears but in the end everyone had a fun time and I got some sweet photos of this little family!  Here are just a few of my favorites!

 Jen told me she always loved this pose of little kids laying down and lucky my four lovely ladies weren't afraid to get a little dirty for me!  This just might be of my all time favorite kid photos!

 I love this photos of the girls!  Every time I look at it I can just picture them 20 years from now posed together and still super cute!

 We finally were able to get Adian in on the fun (with a little help from a lolly pop and a lot of help from Mom and Dad making funny faces behind me!)

 Such cuties!  I just want to pinch all of their little cheeks!

And if this picture doesn't melt your heart a little I don't know what will!  

Thanks again kids for a super fun day!  I hope you had as much fun laughing and playing as I did!
