A wedding worthseeing twice.
Planned by you.
Done right.
A noon ceremony at Gesu in University Heights, then the reception at 2:00 PM at the Painesville Township Park Community Center, on the lake. You are planning every detail yourselves.
- Getting ready together at your apartment, six minutes from the church.
- You see each other first, so the main portraits happen before the ceremony.
- Your family from Mexico, welcome in two languages. Hablo español también.
Doing it all yourselves?
I will be the one thing
you never worry about.
Organized, professional, and ahead of every moment. You will have the full agenda in hand before the day arrives.
A first sketch of May 1.
Two places,
mapped for you.
2470 Miramar Blvd, University Heights, OH 44118
1025 Hardy Rd, Painesville Twp, OH 44077. A large hall with a wooden dance floor, on the Lake Erie shore with a 200-foot pier.
Photos are from the venues' own websites (Church of the Gesu, Lake Metroparks). The warm hall on the bottom right is a mood image, not the room itself. I walk both spaces and map the light before May 1.
Portraits before
the ceremony.
Most couples save portraits for after. You want them done first, and that works beautifully.
- About 30 minutes of just the two of you, with the spots already chosen.
- Then you walk in relaxed, and the rest of the day is yours to enjoy.
- Prefer after the ceremony? While guests head to the reception, we have 30 to 45 minutes. Your call.
Warm, golden,
and invisible.
Editorial imagery with real light and a warm golden finish. On the day itself, you will barely know I am there, and you will love what you see.
- One photographer, one consistent eye. I only book one wedding a day. The day is yours.
- I arrive an hour early to read the light and set the shots. That hour is on me.
- If the party is rolling, an hour before I wrap I check in, and you decide on the spot whether to keep going.
Pick the one that fits your day.
