Jenni and Paul

We were so happy we got to meet up with Jenni and Paul. Such a sweet couple. When we heard they were getting married up by Geneva on the Lake and the reception was going to be at Debonne Winery we knew magic was going to happen. Here is a small glimpse of their engagement session shot around town. We were even lucky enough to meet the owner of the Columbiaina Theater, she put their name up on the marque. Such a cool session with a great couple!!

Leslie and Mike

Jimmy had a great time with Leslie and Mike up at Geneva on the Lake. Their e-session was alot of fun and totally out of the box. From the horror movie props and Carnival rides it is definitely a stand out. October is right around the corner. We are so excited to see you both at the wedding and are looking forward to the trash the dress session!!

Where did August Go?

OK, so I blinked my eyes and August is over. WOW, it was a busy month. Fabulous weddings, exciting engagement sessions, and meeting new couples at all of our consultations. Jimmy and I would like to introduce our newest couples for 2011. In June we have Morgan and Jim celebrating at Succop Conservancy, Jessica and BJ will add some flare with a piper, and Gina and William will brighten things up with their colors of Tangerine and Pink. Then in July, Diana and Anthony will be coming up from North Carolina for their wedding in Hermitage, Jade and Shane are making Jimmy so happy with an Ice Cream Bar, Tara and Mark will be surrounded with green apples at the Stan Hywett Hall and Gardens, Melanie and Mike are exchanging vowes at St. Paul's and Mark and Lindsay will party the night away at Mr. Anthony's. In September we get to revisit one of our favorite family's with Brad and Joleen's wedding. Then October will be an honor when I get to photography my friend Cheryl and her fiance Jeff as they become husband and wife. 2011 is cooking up to be one hot wedding season!! Thanks everybody!!

The New Mr. and Mrs. Smolek

We would like to congratulate Danielle and Chris!! They were married on July 31, 2010 at St. James Church in Boardman. The reception was anything but ordinary. Set in her parents backyard, every detail was better than the last. All from Dani's creative vision. This was not your typically backyard BBQ!! The food was to die for. Thanks guys for a fantastic time!!

Mandie and Vince were married on July 30 2010. Family and friends danced the night away. We were excited to see everybody again, we shot Mandie's brothers wedding this past June. It was great to work with Alex and Kristin and the rest of the gang. Touching moments throughout the whole day made it so special. We would like to thank Vince for proudly serving our country!! Thanks guys!!

A first for us

My new Favorite photo, for the first time the cameras were turned on us thanks to Jessica and Dave. We cannot help sometimes becoming close to our couples. After the consultation, e-session, countless e-mails and phone calls, and then the "Big Day", we feel like when it is all over we have gained new friends. Jessica and Dave are no exception. While we were taking their photos they asked for a picture with us. I think I almost cried. To be a part of such a special day in a couples life and then have them want a photo with us is almost overwhelming. To Jessica and Dave, I think I have found my new favorite photo, thank you for everything, we had a fabulous time at your wedding!!

Finally

July 24, 2010, Jessica and Dave became husband and wife. It was a magical day. The heat did not bother anybody, and boy it was a hot one. Jessica looked gorgeous and her bridesmaids beautiful. The guys were all stunning. After the ceremony and an afternoon of pictures the party got underway at Avion. Let me tell you every inch of the dance floor was used, and these people could DANCE!! We could not be happier for them. Congratulations guys!!!

New couples to welcome!!

July was a busy month for consultations. We had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful couples. Adding to our 2010 list, we welcome Jenni and Paul, who are exchanging vows in August 2010 up at Geneva on the Lake. August will also be the month Erin and Steve and Victor and Odessa say "I DO". We added Nicole and Shane and Mike and Ashley to our October weddings. Lauren and Brennan will round out our 2010 in December. With our 2010 consultation sessions coming to an end, 2011 is filling up at a steady rate.
We will start the year off with Greg and Deanna in January. Tara and Kevin are planning their beautiful and classic May wedding. Katie and Jay will be added to our couples in July. Erin and Joe will bring a bit of a change with there colors of hot pink and camo to their August wedding, along with EJ and Stacey and a hint of a mobster theme. Laina and Micah are the last of our July consultations. Getting married next September across from the casino, Jimmy and I might make a weekend of it.
Jimmy and I would like to thank you all for taking the time to meet with us and letting us capture your memories. We are so excited to be a part of it all.
