The first few times I spoke with Stephanie was when she and her fiancé Brendan were deployed in Iraq.  It wasn’t until half a year later that I was finally able to meet the two of them in person when they had managed to make it back to the U.S safely.

Now, nearly a year later, I had the pleasure of spending the day with them and photographing their Labor Day weekend wedding.  The day started with Stephanie and her bridesmaids getting ready in the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel, followed by their ceremony at St. Luke’s in Lakewood.  Afterwards we got to take some great portraits at Rocky River Park before heading off to The English Oak Room for a night of celebration.  Groove Doctor kept the party rocking all night long and I had a great time being a part of Stephanie and Brendan’s wedding.
