Well, we had our very first rainy day wedding a few weekends ago! We’ve had close calls before but Mother Nature always ruled in our favor, but not this time! We still pulled off some super sweet photos of this super sweet couple! Chad and Brittanie are one good lookin’ couple and brought plenty of their own sunshine to the party! Besides, they honeymooned in Hawaii where I’m sure they got their fill of sunshine! I also have to mention that their reception was off the hook amazing!! The Metropolitan Centre in downtown Canton did a fantastic job!  Here’s a few from their lovely day!

I’ve been good friends with Jenna’s uncle for years now. She was probably 9 years old when I first met her. Now she’s all grown up and marrying a really genuine guy. Nick is calm, cool, and collected. I can tell he cares for Jenna very much and will treat her well. Good thing too because Jenna’s father is an ex football player. They are getting hitched next year in North Carolina where they live. I can’t wait to photograph this wedding and have a good time. Here are a few photos from the engagement session we did.

We knew in the beginning their wedding day would be all about celebrating with friends and family traditions and when the day arrived, it did not disappoint! They had an amazing and intimate ceremony at St. George Serbian Orthodox Church in North Canton with the reception next door at the Social Center where it went from intimate to 300 people! There was almost enough Slivo to go around…almost! Paul & Marissa ARE fun and love and we enjoyed every minute of their day! Here’s a few photos..Enjoy!

Meet Paul and his sweet fiance Marissa. We spent a warm few hours with them on Sunday in downtown Massillon. Interesting note: Paul’s parents house is home to the oldest tree in Massillon – 150 years old! Another side note: Their reception is going to rock! Enjoy a few pics!

Dominick & Jen had a fantastic wedding day. The weather was warm and full of sunshine. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Joseph’s in Canton. We were lucky enough to have a few hours until the reception to hang out with these two and their party, giving us plenty of time to get great photos around town. Their reception was held at The Metropolitan Center and can be summed up with 2 words … DANCE PARTY! The dance floor was NEVER empty! If you haven’t thought of The Metropolitan for your wedding venue – you should! Their amazing rooftop patio is perfect! This lovely couple is off to Italy for their honeymoon! I know, lucky, right?! Enjoy a few photos from their day …

Here, from Washington DC …. Another fantastic couple!  Another amazing wedding day! This entire bridal party was incredibly fun and seriously good-looking ! Jeremy and Ashley started off with a beautiful ceremony in North Canton and ended with a super fun reception in Akron at The Quaker Station. Most memorable reception moment? Ashley’s father’s speech. Simply Amazing, heartfelt, and emotional! The very last photo in this blog post tells it all! Check it out!

We definitely welcome the chance to shoot in new locations, so when Ashley mentioned that they live in Washington DC – we said “Of course we’ll come to DC!” DC did not disappoint. We took a few extra days to walk around the area! If there’s one place that stood out, it’s The Hirshhorn Museum. It was total fun! You should see it! We enjoyed a pretty awesome day with these two on Saturday….visiting Teddy Roosevelt Island(where Jeremy proposed to Ashley AND Teddy Roosevelt is Ashley’s favorite president) along with a little bit of Georgetown, the National Cathedral(which is amazing), and ending up in Old Town Alexandria just as the rain began to pour down! These guys are pretty great to hang out with and we look forward to their wedding next month(NEXT MONTH? ALREADY?)

Todd and Jessica decided to tie the knot on their second anniversary. It just so happened to be April fools day! It was all good with no practical jokes, only a beautiful day and a loving couple. We are really happy we got to shoot their wedding and we wish them and their family the best!

As soon as I heard That Chad and Brittanie wanted photos that were different form the norm I knew it was a good sign. Chad mentioned dramatic lighting and referenced James Dean photos that he liked. Again I was stoked! Their wedding is in September so we did a mini engagement session for their save the dates. 11am isn’t the perfect time of day for dramatic skies or shooting in the open in general but I had a few tricks up my sleeve and we pulled it off. Now I can’t wait for the full engagement session and wedding!

This is Jeremy and Ashley. They met through a mutual friend running at Walsh University. She is a High School teacher and he owns a timing and event management business in Washington DC. Race DC timing. This was just a small session because we are road tripping to D.C. in the spring for a full on engagement session. They were naturals in front of the camera and we are super excited about shooting their North Canton wedding next year.
