Gervasi Vineyard Wedding and First Look – Lauren & Ben

A couple weeks prior, I had dropped by the Vineyard for a scouting trip. I already knew Lauren & Ben’s Gervasi Vineyard wedding would be something truly amazing, so I wanted to make sure I was prepared. In our mid-western climate, it’s rare for couples to do an entirely outdoor wedding. Personally, I love them, but I guess there is a risk of rain. For Lauren & Ben’s Gervasi Vineyard wedding, the entire event would be outside, which plays perfectly with my style.

When the day finally arrived, it could not have been better. The weather was brilliantly sunny and would remain so all day. The ladies looked stunning in their long, coral-colored empire dresses. The flowers also matched perfectly. Each bouquet was filled with roses, peonies and hydrangeas of coral, pink and white. I especially loved the addition of eucalyptus. More so, Lauren looked amazing in her wedding dress. The lace with beading was stunning and I love how effortlessly the train moved behind her.

After the getting ready photos in the morning, we would start the day with a first look on the lawn. The first look turned out to be a moment filled with emotion – from laughing to crying. These emotion-filled moments would carry throughout the day. From the Lauren & Ben’s personalized vows through to the toasts at the reception. Speaking of the wedding reception, it took place under Gervasi’s Pavilion, which is a huge open-air space styled like any old building in Tuscany. It is truly something special!

By the end, everything turned out perfect. And the Gervasi Vineyard wedding team did such an amazing job. They kept the entire wedding running perfectly. Below are just a few highlights from this truly amazing wedding. And in case you are curious, you can also see Lauren & Ben’s stunning engagement session. I hope you enjoy.

Diane & Joe – A Summer Wedding at Chagrin Valley Athletic Club

Before Diane & Joe’s wedding, there was some frantic back-and-forth between Diane and I. We were debating whether more coverage time was needed for their upcoming wedding at Chagrin Valley Athletic Club. On one side, more time could be helpful. On the other side, adding more time was really just “gilding the lily” that would come at a cost. We settled on leaving things as is.

That is, until I arrived at the wedding. In a calculating way, I just decided to arrive a little early. After all, there is always value in having a little “extra”, whatever that extra might be. Doing so gave us all the luxury of time for their beautiful summer wedding. Showing up a little early and staying just a little late cost me nothing, but it would ensure the best opportunity to capture a great wedding.

The extra time made capturing little details all that much easier. Like Diane’s beautiful blue suede wedding shoes embroidered with delicate white lace. The extra time made organizing their emotional first look that much easier. I absolutely love Diane’s look as Joe turned around to meet her eyes.

The extra time just made for a more relaxed day. Capturing Diane & Joe with their wedding party became such a joy. Universally, each person in their wedding party was so nice and absolutely wonderful to be around. The same story is true for the Bride and Groom’s parents, who were so gracious and welcoming.

More so, the extra time gave us the opportunity to slow down and capture everything just right. So much so, that I brought out film for the wedding, which is a rare treat. We even ended the night with some gorgeous sunset photos on film. For Diane & Joe – thank you so much for having me as a small part of your wedding day. It’s been a thrilling experience. I certainly hope you enjoy the highlights below.
