Photo Art Workshop Coming Soon! Stay tuned for details
David, Jim & Tiffany
Tiffany and I had a chance to photograph Nestor and Jackie's wedding a few weeks ago. We had a great time spending the day celebrating with their friends and family. Everyone made our job both easy, and enjoyable. I found it refreshing to see such a sense of closeness among the wedding guests. You certainly don't find that at every wedding you attend. It was wonderful to witness.
We arrived at Jackie's house early in the day to capture some of the details.
The photo on the right is one of my favorite shots of the day.
Jackie was an abolutely beautiful bride. She was glowing all day, not just because it was her wedding day, but because she was five months pregnant! You can see her perfect baby bump in some of these shots.
Take note of the groomsmen's matching shoes.
Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles!
There were some very impressive moves on the dance floor!
A great thing about Nestor and Jackie's wedding was the location. The ceremony and reception were at the same place which was great, but what made it so incredible was the breathtaking view! You can see in these next few photos a backdrop of gorgeous pinks, oranges, and purples, as the setting sun illuminated this beautiful couple.
That can't be comfortable....
Being a photographer, we all have our signature shots. If you've been following us for very long, you'll be able to notice each one of our own signatures to the way we take the pictures or even to the way we process them later. This is my signature shot. It was taken with a home-made macro lens that I developed accidently a few years ago. In the middle of a repair of a previous lens, I stumbled across the detailed capabilities this lens had. Here's a shot of Nestor and Jackie's rings.
Tiffany's ring shot.
All in all, the wedding was a success! We made some neat friends and witnessed true love at it's finest! Congratulations Nestor and Jackie!
Caleb:
That garter shot is crazy!
Nelli Boone:
What a fun wedding! The couple looks like they had a really good day. I love the shot of her in the front with her bouquet to the side and him blurry in the background. Good... And I like the sunset shots, very dreamy.
David, Jim & Tiffany
I shot Zach and Jessica's wedding with Jim a few weeks ago in Walnut Creek, OH. It was a little over a two hour drive for the both of us, but it was worth it for sure. I really enjoyed getting to know the couple throughout the day as I was able to see their love for one another behind the lens of my camera. The details were elegant and well-coordinated.
We were able to capture some really neat shots during the day, especially at the arboretum we stopped on our way to the reception.
Love this detail shot by Jim
Later on, we decided to step outside of the reception hall just before sunset and took some of my favorite shots of the day!
It was such a fun wedding to say the least and I really enjoyed the opportunity to capture these moments for Zach and Jessica. I hope that these photos will always be a reminder of their love and faithfulness to one another. Congratulations Zach and Jessica.

David, Jim & Tiffany
I was really excited for Krista and Bart’s big day because of the location they chose. Although it was a bit of a hike for me to get there and a few minor road blocks and detours, it was well worth it when I arrived at the Brown family farm. The landscape was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and the love that Krista and Bart had for each other was more than beautiful. The ceremony was one of the most unique weddings I’ve been to because it was located on a hillside just on the edge of a small pond. This made for some really neat shots since I was able to shoot some beautiful landscapes from all different directions. Some of my favorite shots were taken during the reception when the wedding party and Jim and I were able to sneak away for a bit to take pictures in front of the hay bales. The sun was setting and the colors were just absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked God for a better day! I remember Jim remarking that he took some of the best ring shots ever, and looking through them later at the studio, he was right! They were so very unique and absolutely gorgeous! Krista and Bart’s love for each other, along with the love from their families and friends, was so evident that day. I was so grateful to have been a part of their beautiful day! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bart and Krista Brown!
Uncle Tom and Aunt Tracy:

David, Jim & Tiffany
I was really excited to shoot this wedding since it was my first of the season, and it did not disappoint. David and I had a great time hanging out with Leah and Aaron's friends and family. What an amazing group of people! Leah was one of the most calm brides I have ever worked with, which made my job quite easy! And when the weather decided to be less than ideal, Leah and Aaron simply improvised and made a pit stop at Target to buy umbrellas for the shoot at the park.
After shooting a bit at Lakewood park and downtown Cleveland (spontaneously), we headed over to Rocky River where they had a fun reception planned with great music and dancing all night. I should also mention that it was definitely the first wedding I've been to where tacos were served as the main course. I later found out that Aaron is fluent in spanish and he LOVES tacos, so why not serve them at your wedding?! It was unique and I loved it.
Look at this amazing ring shot David got!
Bubbles!
This wedding party was a blast to work with. They had lots of creative ideas for photos which made for a really fun afternoon!
I really loved what was written on this page of their guest book.
Aaron and Leah, you have a wonderful future ahead of you. Thanks for letting us be a part of your day! We wish you the best!

David, Jim & Tiffany
From the very first time I spoke to Adrienne and Ryan on the phone I knew their wedding was going to be special. They were so excited about the wedding. I knew Jim would be the perfect photographer for their event. Jim has been an associate photographer with us pretty much since we started. He's the type of guy who will do whatever it takes to get the special shot. I remember when he first started photographing with me, he would be on the floor at the dances at the reception trying to get angles with the chandeliers behind the bride and groom. Sometimes I would think that was too much to lay on the floor until I saw the image. On a rainy day in June, he was able to photograph Ryan and Adrienne's special day in the beautiful setting of Mohican, but it rained. It rained a lot. But instead of wimpering and settling for less than stellar images, Jack, Jim, Adrienne and Ryan decided to venture into the wetlands. Truly, the love these two have for each other would make any gray day beautiful. Take a look.
This is their first meeting...
I love these two images from Jack as their leaving the field.
I posted these images for Jim because he's shooting a wedding for us today and I know how excited Ryan and Adrienne are to see the pictures. Jim, David and Tiffany are our three brilliant associate photographers and I feel blessed to be able to work with them. They love people and pictures. Congrats to you Ryan and Adrienne! You are an inspiration to those around you.
Elvira Brock:
Just amazing pictures!! Love from Ryan and Adrienne can be felt with just seing it. It was a beautiful wedding. Congratulations..a warm hug from South Africa..de tu amiga Colombiana!!
Debbie Syptak:
Awesome pics. I always heard it was good to take pictures under an overcast sky. May God rain his blessings on both of you! Anna loved the Converse.

randy:
Adrienne and Ryan, the pictures captured a lot (but of course not all ! ) of your love for each other! I think you two are an amazing couple and I KNOW that there are a lot of exciting, rich experiences in your future. I love you both!!!!
Ron and Sheryl:

Thanks for sharing!!
Cassey:
Stunning! Perfect portrayal of a wonderful day!
Vicki VanNatta:
There were many memorable things about this wedding and the photographer(s) seems to have captured those and put them in print for you to save forever. My two favorites are the shot with the two of you walking under the umbrella as you leave Mt. Jeez and then the Mary Poppins and Huck Finn silhouette pic as you are walking away. You'll probably never see a photo like that in any other wedding album. What a story to tell your grandchildren!

Susan Sublett:
Wow!! What great pictures. The photos really capture the fun personality of these two. My favorite was where the two of them were in the field under the umbrella looking out to see what adventure is next for them, and not letting a little rain keep them down. That so defines who they are. Perfect shot. Many other favorite too like the bridesmaids, the garter, and it looks like perhaps Adrienne is jumping in the field. Congratulations to the couple and the photographer on such beautiful pictures.
Matt Gerber:
Excellent pictures. I, too, am a big fan of the silhouette shot. Welcome back, you two!
Tricia Anspikian:
Congrats Ryan and Adrienee! What fun pictures! Wish we couldve been a part of this day, but happy to see what a beautiful event it was...even with all the RAIN! :)
