Ian and Crystal were married at Glenmoor Country Club on Sunday, July 26th. The wedding was nothing short of beautiful…..

I give a lot of credit to the bride’s father, who is also a pastor (and was the officiant for the wedding!) for being able to make it through the ceremony holding it together so well. He delivered a heartfelt and meaningful message and even added a hint or two of humor to boot. You could tell how proud he is of his little girl. Going out on the golf course with the whole bridal party for the transition was a lot of fun. Video was captured and photos were taken on a neat little bridge on the grounds of the country club. We were even serenaded by the bridesmaids! The reception to follow was a lot of fun. With the Memory Productions photo booth the guests created an incredible guest book for Ian and Crystal. Cipriano Productions provided the music for the ceremony and reception to complete the day. Congratulations again Ian and Crystal.

On Friday, July 24th Lindsay and I photographed the wedding reception of Tara and Jason at Guy’s Party Centre in Akron, OH. Tara and Jason were married the week before in Myrtle beach. We had a great time spending the afternoon with Tara, Jason, their family, and friends. We started with some prep images and then headed to the nearby Firestone Park for some quick shots outside. At Guy’s everyone was clearly having an incredible time with music from The DJ Crew. Congratulations to both of you, enjoy a few shots below and then head over to our gallery for images from the rest of the night.

Brian and I headed out to tape William and Nicole’s wedding at Lake Forrest Country Club this past weekend.  Upon arrival, Nicole was in the upstairs dressing room with her makeup artist and hair dresser.  William, I believe, arrived a bit later, coming in from an afternoon with the guys, perhaps a game of golf…  Both seemed quite at ease and slowly transitioned into the excitement of the afternoon events.  The wedding ceremony and reception were on site, and managed very nicely by staff.  The flowers were exceptional, supplied by Creations by Lynn.  Nicole’s wedding bouquet was a larger and paler version of her bridesmaids’.  Hanging floral wreaths and accent bouquets adourned nearly every door, candlebra, and flat surface within the site.  As the day went on, I became quite infatuated with Nicole’s engagement ring, a unique setting of saphires and diamonds.  It too, was perfectly accented by the addition of her wedding band during the ceremony.  This was the most unique of the season thus far!  To top it all off, it was a great day…  cool, yet sunny.  Not at all a bad evening to spend cocktail on the outdoor patio above the pool.  TKO, once again, did an excellent job of providing their DJ service.  William and Nicole, I believe you indicated that you were honeymooning in October.  I wish you an excellent trip and much happiness in your new marriage!

Megan and Jonathan were married at St Frances de Sales church in Akron, OH on July 11, 2009. Kari and I started her wedding photography off with some bridal prep at her parents house. We were greeted by the calmest Jack Russell I have ever met. Throughout the planning Megan and her mother put countless hours into making sure everything was just right. Megan designed the programs and coordinating items that completed the day. After the ceremony we spent some time with the bridal party and our newly married couple at Raintree Country Club where the reception was as well. Once the time came Justin from Big Ear Entertainment kept the guests dancing through our departure. It was an absolute blast working with this group all day and getting to know them a little better. We had a few close calls with those golf carts, but everyone survived. I didn’t know that Megan and I had a little “Superstar” in common….so I just had to grab one quick shot. Do not worry Megan, I left that one off the blog. Enjoy the honeymoon and congratulations!! Check our gallery soon to see the rest of Megan & Jonathan’s images.

On Saturday, July 11, Don had the privilege of spending some time at The Links at Firestone Farms with Lauren, John, their guests, and a digital photo booth. It was obvious in the months leading up to the wedding that Lauren was anxiously awaiting the photo booth at her reception. The photo booth did not disappoint as the booth was used all night long. In the many years Memory Productions has been running photo booths in Northeast Ohio, no group has shot as many photo strips as this one. Enjoy some of the photo strips below, then head over to our galleries at http://events.memory-productions.com to see the rest.

What a bizarre weather day this past Saturday! The morning began with a downpour of rain, as the crew and I headed out to Megan and Jim’s wedding in Garfield Heights, Ohio. Soon after our arrival, and just before the seating of guests, what looked destined to be flooding weather, suddenly began to dry up and the sun came out. Our plans to venture out between the ceremony and reception proved to be possible. After a detour through parts of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and historic, downtown Wadsworth, the couple headed to The Galaxy, of Wadsworth, for their reception. (I have to admit, I was quite impressed with Jim of Cutting Edge Limousine for keeping up with us throughout the day. With our high chance of rain, he was forced to wing most of his trip, and did a great job!) Welcoming us to the reception was none other than one of our beloved photo booths, which I must add was a great addition to the evening. To top off the party, Megan, Jim, and guests were able to enjoy the lively music of one of Jerry Bruno’s newest bands, The Cutting Edge (ironically, not to be associated with the limo company). Cheers to the new couple! We wish you much future happiness! Enjoy a quick sneak peak of their video below with some photos soon to follow!
