Erica and Kim’s Epic Rainy Day Wedding
Hi friends! Thanks for visiting the all new site! Ive been holding off on blogging a ton of my 2017 weddings, saving them for the new format, so Im starting with a big one. Today’s Bride just featured their wedding on the Real Weddings page, and you can check it out here.
Erica and Kim- two amazing brides with smiles for miles and love and enthusiasm on the rainiest wedding day I have ever covered…… It poured buckets, and was nighttime dark at noon. It was one of those weddings when people, say to themselves ,”poor bride”, and to the brides” Wow! you have a ton of good luck on your wedding day “! I didn’t need to cheer up either Erica or Kim, because they were radiant, they were in love, and they were marrying their best friend…. and there were tater tots at the end of the night, …so the game was on …. and we had one of the best weddings ever!
Starting off with one of my favorite photos of 2017. Colossal Cupcakes was right around the corner from the 5th Street Arcade where we were shooting, and I popped in and asked to use their adorable couch for my brides. I think its a picture perfect Barbie moment, and Kim and Erica were all about it! Thanks Colossal Cupcakes!

Grandma for the win!
The best toasts, the most wonderful stories from parents… Karen is crying again…
Party!!!!! Cleveland Music Group kept it going all night long!
Tator Tot time! and an outfit redesign for Erica, styled by me. In case you are wondering, heck yes Gen and I were fed those delicious tots!
The weather held off just enough for us to shoot the iconic Playhouse Square Chandelier.
Gen and I witnessed such a beautiful wedding, and I am so happy to call these two my pals today.
Words of advice, embrace the rain, and marry the love of your life. She’s all the sunshine you need on that day!
