The Editorial

Cleveland wedding photos, frame by frame.

An editorial gallery built around Cleveland's best wedding venues, and the light in them.

This gallery is here to show you a way of seeing: composed, editorial, unposed. It spans the venues I shoot most, from Cleveland Botanical Garden and Severance Hall to the Hyatt at the Arcade, and I work as far out as Lakewood, Akron, and Columbus. The full venue-by-venue guide lives on the Venues page.

Six collections start at $600, each with a full edited gallery and a print release. See the breakdown on the Investment page. Three of the six collections include engagement photos in Cleveland, and they can be added to any package. Browse the gallery for a sense of what editorial wedding photography looks like, venue by venue and season by season.

The days I shoot range from downtown high-rises to garden ceremonies at Stan Hywet Hall, weddings of two hundred guests to quiet elopements for two. What holds it together is the same eye: real light, a composed frame, and a photographer who has shot enough commercial sets to know when to wait for a moment instead of posing it.
