Cleveland Wedding Photography Hot Spots

Unless your wedding is at an all inclusive venue, you will most likely ask where to schedule your fun and creative wedding photography session. We love collaborating with our couples to help them choose a location which is perfect for them and depending on the locations of your ceremony and reception this is usually a pretty easy task. One of the first subjects we cover with our couples is location. It’s important to choose a location that will suit your style. Are you interested in an urban landscape, maybe a nature setting, or how about both? Whatever your taste is, we can definitely work with you and come up with the perfect location or two. Oh…….and this is an important point: Have an indoor backup location in case of inclement weather.
