Grace and Leon's Wedding

I would have to say that we are always blessed with such kind and sincere couples. Grace and Leon were no exception. Carla spent the morning at Grace's hotel as she prepared with her bridesmaids and I got to visit with Leon and the guys at Leon's house.


Afterwards, we met up at St. Paul's Greek Orthodox church in North Royalton. The ceremony was wonderful, even with a tired ring bearer and a couple of flower girls who decided to stop half-way down the aisle and pick up the pedals they just dropped. :)


After the ceremony we headed to Severance Hall where Genevieve and James Nisly worked their magic and found a million ways to creatively bring out the best of Leon and Grace. Be sure to visit Genevieve's blog to see the wonderful photographs they took! http://www.genevievenisly.com/

With lots of outdoor pictures, we had plenty of time to shoot some Super 8mm film. The camera absolutely loved Grace!

The entire day was a wonderful compilation of Greek and Asian traditions.
The Embassy Suites on Rockside Rd. was adorned with a red and gold theme complete with goldfish on the card table, fortune cookies and chopsticks on the guest tables and red and white balloons hanging from the ceiling. The glamorous red and gold cake was created by Marianne and Lauren at the White Flower Cake Shoppe. http://www.whiteflowercake.com/
I mentioned earlier how kind and sincere Grace and Leon were, here is a simple testament; at the end of the evening Grace learned that Genevieve, James, Carla and I had not gotten a chance to taste the wedding cake. She personally went into the kitchen and had the staff bring us two to-go boxes full of wedding cake. And yes, it was delicious. :)
