JANIENE and GARRETT-Wedding



















It was so much fun capturing Janiene and Garrett's special day at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio. We photographed Janiene's sister's wedding a few years ago in Columbus, so I was happy to get a call from Janiene with her big news--and excited to head to Cleveland! I love visiting Cleveland, but had never had the opportunity to visit the museums at Western Reserve before. The first thing I thought of when we entered and started walking around was how much the boys would love the place. It's a wealth of historic items from the Western Reserve area. It's definitely a return destination! Janiene and Garrett got ready in one of the mansions and were planning on having their wedding ceremony in the garden. Ohio weather being what it is, we got rain and that moved everything into the gallery. We did have a small window of time to go out into the garden and grab a few photos--which made me happy--the gardens are especially beautiful!

After the ceremony, it was party time and time to move into the Crawford Auto Museum for the cocktail hour. This gave all of Janiene and Garrett's guests the chance to walk around the museum and check out all of the totally cool cars in the collection. I did find out that their event was the last to be held in the auto museum for at least a year. It's going to be closed for renovation--which is kind of a bummer--the boys would love that too!

After cocktail hour, it was time to head upstairs for dinner and dancing. The dance floor was jam-packed the whole evening. Janiene and Garrett's wedding will definitely be a unique wedding to remember for all their friends and family. I'm happy we were able to be a part and capture some of the beauty and fun!
