Bride and Groom

Saturdays are for weddings: Jim + Kristen

Fall weddings are the beez neez!  Sunny days and even brighter smiles.  The day kicked off without a hitch, everyone was on time and relaxed.  Jim and Kristen showed up with the demeanor of a veteran couple as if they'd been together for a lifetime.  The church was filled with smiling faces and a few tears as they said "I do".  Shortly after we all hopped into a stretch Hummer that seemed like it was a mile long.  Props to our driver who bravely drove that thing through places it has never been.  From roads that weren't really roads to a cul-de-sac in Hudson.  We journeyed out of the city to take advantage of the fall colors while the trees still had leaves, and what a great choice that turned out to be.

A Cleveland Wedding: Joseph + Iva

St. Paul's Croatian Church has been the center of Catholic Croatian culture in Cleveland since it's first service held on Easter Sunday in 1904.  It has been a place of worship and celebration for so many over the years.  On October the 8th, 2016 it became the starting point for Joseph and Iva's life as a married couple.  The doors opened as the ceremony concluded.  Joseph and Iva made their way down the aisle smiling ear to ear as their family and friends cheered them on.  These are the moments that make my job wonderful.  The moments in-between the moments, when you can feel a break that signifies the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
