Carmina & Stefan ~ Cleveland engagement session

This is probably the shortest engagement session I ever did. Actually I am sure it was the shortest. We did it the day after the wedding and since there were some schedule constraints we only managed to have about 45 minutes dedicated to it.
Nevertheless I think we got some nice frames. Here are my favorites:

Godparents

On Monday I came back from a week long trip to Romania. I went there for a wedding. Not as a photographer but as a godparent:) Godparents are spiritual parents for the young couple and are meant to provide guidance in life for the young couple.

I’m still tired from the long trip and lack of sleep but it was an amazing week and I am grateful that I got to see my family and friends.

Lauren & Mike

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of documenting the beautiful wedding of Lauren and Mike. The wedding took place
at The Oaks Lodge, on the shore of Chippewa Lake, near Cleveland.

I am so grateful that they choose me to document their day. It was very moving to see how deeply in love they are. It was like a reminder of why I love weddings so much.

They had lip shaped whistles to blow instead of clinking glasses, board games for the guests, Guitar Hero, lots of dinosaurs, robots, and giraffes.

Here are some of my favorites from their day.
