A Merry Go Round for a Historic Wedding at the Cleveland Western Reserve Historical Society

Jennifer and Jeff’s wedding at the Cleveland Historical Center of the Western Reserve Historical Society was amazing. The Weddings here have something for everyone. Beautiful old Mansions, a historic  Cleveland Euclid Beach Carrousel , old cars, boats, and Cleveland sports memorabilia , plus amazing gardens. I was so excited to photograph a wedding there, and hope to photograph some more!

future brides and grooms- wink wink, hint hint…..

I started the day with Jeff, a groom who has all of his style going on…. I photographed Jeff in one of the beautiful old rooms of the Bingham-Hanna Mansion, which is part of the Historical Center.

Jeff has a huge smile, and he’s so fun.. these portraits are the serious and stylish side of Jeff….

Then I headed over to a gorgeous library for Jennifer, in the Bingham-Hanna Mansion….

Stunning!

Her dress was perfect- beautiful, a nod to vintage, sexy and just so gorgeous! It was breath taking.

Jen herself was breathtaking as well….

Wedding time in the garden-

love these Groom/ Mom moments

Genevieve’s view, and one of my favorite photographs of the wedding…

Jeff was beaming the whole wedding. I just loved watching how happy he was, and yes, he made me tear up a little….

The moment before the kiss is everything…..

Love the Family Portraits, especially if they are outside…

The iconic Cleveland Mascot for the Indians. He used to be on top of the old Cleveland Stadium. used to think he was tiny when I was a kid… Surprise! He’s HUGE IN PERSON!. I had to lay down on the floor to get this shot- worth it!

The Euclid Beach Carrousel! Its restored and over 106 years old…

Reception Time!

Inspired by all of the gorgeousness at the museum…
