Crystal & Mark | Cleveland Federated Family Life Center Wedding

There's a little bit of 2013 left over here! I've been posting Facebook albums like crazy, and now I have ONE last wedding to share with you all: Crystal and Mark! Crystal is a witty Cleveland blogger, and I wanted to give her space to do her own posts before I did my own.

Looking at these photos makes me feel SO warm in the midst of this freezing cold weather. Crystal and Mark had the most perfect day for their outdoor Botanical Garden wedding ceremony. It was blue skies all the way and a breezy 78 or so degrees. Sounds good right about now. :)

Weather aside, my favorite thing about Crystal and Mark's day was the way they looked at each other. I know that sounds cliché, but it's so easy to get swept along with the craziness of your wedding. I should know! And it's for that reason that I love observing couples on their big day. I love the stolen glances and the private moments that happen in the middle of the crowd. I admire the respect and adoration Crystal and Mark have for each other, and I know it's only strengthened since September.

Enjoy my favorites from this sunny day:

Lindsay London was on hand to doll up Crystal.

Oh my goodness, the flowers. Spenser of Life in Bloom outdid herself!

Such sweet moments between Crystal and her dad.

Married!

These two are Clevelanders through and through.

Luna provided the delectable (and I do mean delectable) cake and cupcakes.

And then there was a donut truck. So cool!

Erin & Colin | Massimo Da Milano Ohio City Wedding

She's the one who wants to take flight. He's the anchor. They complement each other that way. Erin and Colin met in college during freshman move in. It wasn't, however, until Erin tackled Colin in the hallway (yes, that petite girl tackled that 6-foot-something guy) that they started seeing more of each other.

"He is so calm, and I can read him like an open book," Erin said about Colin. "I love the way he smiles at me like I'm the only person in the world. He loves me unconditionally."

It's true that Colin only has eyes for Erin. After watching these two for just a few seconds, you can't help but grin at their sweet relationship. They are 100% enamored with each other.

"We share so much in common, have similar interests and can have conversations that few others can follow along," Colin said about Erin. "She's amazing and makes me happy."

Erin and Colin, what an honor it was to photograph your pure love. I think we can all learn from you guys. Here's to all your many adventures ahead!

Erin is always smiling! :)

Girl getting ready time is so much different than guy getting ready time. It absolutely cracks me up!

And then there was a bagpiper surprise! How cool!

I loved the unique color scheme!

Coolest wedding day activity ever: a tour at Great Lakes Brewing Company!

Erin & Colin | Massimo Da Milano Wedding Sneak Peek

Erin and Colin's wedding was one of the most unique I've ever shot. Most notably, they took a tour of Great Lakes Brewing Co. after their ceremony, which was just plain awesome. If you remember from their engagement photos, Erin and Colin are incredibly sweet with each other, and it was so fun to photograph their honest emotion again this past weekend. Enjoy some of my favorites from their big day. I hope they get to see this peek of their wedding before they jet off on their Grecian honeymoon! :)

Allie & Sean | Cleveland Wedding Sneak Peek

Seriously, how was the weather SO PERFECT for every one of my August weddings?! It was 75 and sunny for each of them, and I ate it up. Hopefully it's a good omen for September. :) Now, let's talk about the world's sweetest couple. I knew as soon as I met with Allie and Sean that they were great people. Spending their wedding day with them just sealed the deal. I'm so glad I've still got an album to design for these two so I can keep them in my life a little longer. :) Enjoy their (colorful) sneak peek! I know this is a tease ... there's more coming next week!
