I met up with this rad couple in Lakewood a couple of weeks ago and I will always remember Mandy & Kenny's Engagement Session.... Why you might ask? Because this rad couple decided to push me into Lake Erie during their E-Session. No, No, not really, I pushed the limits to getting the best picture(s) I could get on the 'mossy' rocks near the water and slipped right in. YIKES!!! Covered in green sludge, shoes and jeans soaked, we finished the session in downtown Cleveland. Mandy & Kenny, I had an awesome time working with you both and thank you for being such great sports after my little spill. I look forward to your wedding in July.

Nate & Valerie - Theatrical Trailer

We had the pleasure of providing our videography services to Nate & Valerie on their special day. Jeff was their videographer and below are some of the highlights from the wedding & reception along with a little "extra love" with using some pictures. Nate & Valerie knew how to have fun and the second song in the theatrical trailer was played during the grand entrance at the reception. Perfect for this awesome couple and it just needed to be in their trailer. Enjoy!!!

Lastly, I had the pleasure of having Tami Musick (Tami's Take On Photography) as my second photographer and a few of her pictures were incorporated into the trailer. She was a blast to work with and did an awesome job. Check out her work: http://tamaramusick.wordpress.com - She photographs Maternity Sessions, Boudoir Sessions and family portraits. Thanks Tami!!!

Nathan & Valerie - Wedding

Ceremony: Grace United Church of Christ -- Reception: Saint George Greek Orthodox Cultural Center

Tammi, Jeff & I had the privilege of being a part of Valerie & Nathan's special day by providing them and their families with our photography & videography services. Nathan & Valerie decided to see each other before the wedding ceremony, which was great and I am glad they decided to do so. We were able to take some very relaxed and casual bridal party pictures outside the church. The reception was awesome and I think everyone enjoyed themselves, especially Nathan & Valerie. They were on the dance floor the whole nite and John from The DJ Crew, as always, did an awesome job keeping the dance floor rockin. Below are some of the pictures from the wedding day.

Valerie & Nathan love Black & White pictures, so I made sure we got a little creative in the B&W special effects.

Valerie was gorgeous and I just loved all of her "unique" facial expressions along with the smiles.

Nathan, the ultra cool groom. I loved the pinstripe tuxedos

One of the many facial expressions Valerie had in store for us.

I love these two pictures side by side, shows Valerie's personality.

Valerie and her bridesmaids.

Nathan and his groomsmen. Even the ringbearer struck a pose on his own.

I think someone said something funny

Some attitude and style from the bride & groom

Nathan striking a pose then going into "Thinker" mode. Sorry, Nathan, I had to post it

A nice little Pre-Ceremony Kiss

John from The DJ Crew introducing Nathan & Valerie. Based on thier picture, I think it clearly states how the reception will go this evening. The DJ Crew - http://www.thedjcrew.com

A big thank you to Valerie and Nathan for letting us be a part of your special day. We had an awesome time!!! Wedding theatrical trailer coming soon!!!!

Sara & Tim - E-Session

The JPM Blog Is Back!!!!! I met up with Sara & Tim for some engagement session fun and I couldn't have picked a better couple to showcase their pictures on the new blog. We started at Squire's Castle and then made our way to downtown Cleveland. Make sure to check out the last picture... it's animated and feel free to leave some comment love. Enjoy!!!!

Squire's Castle is always a great backdrop!

Some textured interior walls and BAM... some "texture love."

Tim's tie was an awesome detail that was incorporated into some shots. A little SX-70 Polaroid action with custom B&W.

"Making the leaves POP!"

Love this relaxed moment with some tilt-shift fun

One of my favorites!!!

Sara wanted to incorporate the changing colors of the leaves during the session.... CHECK!

Contrasting colors... WHAM!

Squire's Castle has so many great back drops

Cool all the way!!!

Another one of my favorites. Some SX-70 polaroid action love

We definitely got the colors of the leaves in the pictures

Just as we entered the castle, Tim was super stoked to get a picture of him standing in the window. Well, I wanted to raise the bar and add some extra texture and photoshop love!

Sara could not stop smiling during the session... "I can't do serious" she said. No problem. Sorry Tim, I had to post this one!!!

Sara and Tim's dog, Pebbles, wanted to make an appearance

The blue bridge in downtown Cleveland has become one of my favorite backdrops.

Loved the colors on the buildings in the flats. Spiced them up with some more "texture love."

Had to lay flat on my stomach on the sidewalk to capture this shot.... that's dedication, but the picture is awesome!

Last stop, East 4th Street in downtown Cleveland, OH

Last shots of the session.... saw the sign and wanted it BAD!!! Some stacked pictures in GIF format.

Thank you Sara & Tim for an awesome session!!!!
