Typically I get a phone call or an email from the bride…she’s usually the first point of contact but this time around, the message came from Anthony! I remember so vividly roughly 5 years ago at the end of the night he came up to me and said how fantastic of a job I was doing. He was the best man in a Aaron and Michelle’s wedding and I also remember the speech he gave was probably one of the best speeches I had heard…later I found out he actually went around the country speaking for a living-that explained it! Fast forward many years and I got a message from Anthony saying, “I’m not sure you remember me….but, I’m getting married”….and after several emails back and forth, meeting with other photographers, they told me I made the cut and wanted me to come to Ohio to shoot their big day!

So off to Ohio Greg and  I went…… I can’t wait to share the portraits with you in the amazing Arcade in Cleveland, but first…here are a few getting ready shots and a peek into their “first look” <3
