Jackie and Jordan tie the knot!

Jackie always said her dream proposal would be in front of a crowd. Jordan made that dream come true when he popped the question on August 18, 2012.


With Jackie on stage in the spotlight they got engaged, and the spotlight was certainly back on her on their wedding day! In a fabulous, lacey, vintage Allure Bridal gown from Catan's, adorned in vintage-style jewelry and topped with a birdcage-style veil, Jackie was radiant - like something straight out of a movie!

The whole wedding event was warm and romantic, despite the cold Cleveland weather. Every detail was so well thought out. It had such a classy feel with a vintage touch. The ceremony was held at the Old Stone Church in downtown Cleveland - what setting could be better for a vintage-style wedding than this historic Cleveland landmark? After the ceremony we stopped at The Arcade, another historic Cleveland landmark and one of my favorite places to shoot! Then we headed to the Wyndham Cleveland at Playhouse Square for a beautiful reception. Such a perfect day for the wedding of a couple so worthy of the spotlight!


Jackie's dress and accessories were stunning!

Isn't Jackie's bouquet amazing? Truly one-of-a-kind and created by her sister to boot!  I couldn't stop gawking at it! She comes from a pretty talented family because her brother made the center pieces for the reception tables.  Bridesmaid's flowers and boutonnieres were designed by Nikki's 21 Blooms.



There was so much beauty in all of the details, and Jackie's hair was no exception. Kudos to Always in Style in Parma for such a beautiful 'do! It went perfectly with Jackie's birdcage veil.

Jordan awaits his bride!


Old Stone Church in downtown Cleveland feels larger than life outside, and yet inside it feels quaint and intimate.






The Arcade has been a part of Cleveland history since 1890. Its architecture really complimented the vintage flare of Jackie and Jordan's wedding. It was the perfect backdrop for the couples' photos! The building's details and lights made the shots feel so dreamy.







Looking dapper downtown.






Jackie and Jordan's reception at the Wyndham Cleveland at Playhouse Square was nothing short of enchanting. Such a beautiful celebration!





Even the cake (by Susan Landi) had a touch of vintage. How gorgeous is this?!





















I always look forward to the speeches - my favorite part of a wedding. I think the maid of honor's speech had me tearing up as well!











The newly weds sharing a special moment.

The first dances :-)







Music Connection; Jim Rios did a great job with keeping the party hopping, but also was in-charge of the beautiful uplighting.   Uplighting is a great way to enhance any ballroom.






 I always like to end the night with a few more special photographs with the Bride & Groom.



Thank you, Jackie & Jordan for including me in such a special time in your lives.
