Canton Ohio Wedding Photographer- Jessica and Dustin

September 30, 2009 – 4:52 pm

Lightroom (IMG_7010.CR2 and 8 others)

Of all the weddings I have photographed in Canton is there one more gorgeous? WOW.  This was a private property and they REALLY need to hold more weddings here and let me come back for all of them. ;) Jessica and Dustin had a beautiful Canton Wedding and I was more than honored to photograph it. There was no detail unnoticed and it was a perfect wedding. It’s one of those weddings where you could photograph it over and over just because you cannot get enough! clevelandweddingphotographerohioweddingphotographyohioweddingphotographer

It just so happens their wedding colors perfectly match my branding. clevelandwedidngphotos1

And then the guys goofed off for awhile. ohiogroomsmenpictures

Isn’t this a perfect back drop for a wedding? It certainly doesn’t look like Ohio! Eric caught this perfectly. ohioceremonyphotography

Natalie and Jordon: Destination Wedding at Melia Caribe PT. 1

June 24, 2009 – 9:54 pm

Natalie and Jordon picked the gorgeous Melia Caribe for their special day. This resort was remarkable and did such a great job.  You two were such a pleasure to work with from the moment I met you at dinner. Your friends and family were equally warm and embracing and of course, always a good laugh.

I started with some getting ready shots while Natalie was getting her hair done. The dress is one of my favorite detail shots to get.

Next being the flowers! The resort did an amazing job at these!

Just waiting for his soon to be wife :)

Oh I love when couples decide to see eachother before the ceremony. We had such a great amount of time to walk around and take pictures. Part 2 coming tomorrow :-)
