Sarah and Scott were married at the always beautiful Club Hillbrook. The day was calling for rain and wouldn't you know it, Sarah and Scott had planned an outdoor wedding. But as God would have it, the ceremony went on without a problem even as dark clouds rolled in overhead. And then, literally 5 seconds after being announced "Husband and Wife", the rain came down. All of the guests were given umbrellas and Sarah and Scott made it safe and dry inside. Fifteen minutes later the rain stopped and the guests enjoyed a wonderful evening outside on the patio. It was almost as if God himself decided to stop by and offer his blessings. Here are the highlights from Sarah and Scott's wedding...

Rosie's cousins performed a special song for her and Lance at the reception. It was a beautiful performance and it goes well with the highlights from the day...
Moonstruck Productions presents Tye and Eileen's Wedding Highlight Film
Tye and Eileen had a perfect day for a wedding and an all-star cast of wedding professionals working with them. Moonstruck Productions started the day at St. Patrick's church in Ohio City, one of our favorite historic churches in the Cleveland area. We hit the town for pictures with Tom Forrest and ended up at the Old Courthouse.
George Skourtis of Studio Z Floral Design was the mastermind behind the flowers, centerpieces and lighting. I've shot a million weddings at the courthouse, but this was the first time I had seen anyone do such an amazing job with uplighting and table settings. Brenda Kucinski at Catan Fashions helped transform the room from old to extraordinary and kept things running smoothly all day long. A Taste of Excellence provided the catering and David Palmer from Network Sound hooked up the audio and spot lights for the intro's and dances and Bill Bowen from Jerry Bruno played the tunes for the night.
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, especially Tye and Eileen. A happy day for a very happy couple. Congratulations Tye and Eileen!

Moonstruck Productions presents Bindu & Vishal's Wedding Highlight Film
We have completed the finishing touches on Bindu and Vishal's cinematic edit blu-ray disc and the last piece of the puzzle was to upload their highlight film. If you read our earlier blog post about Bindu and Vishal, you will remember how much we loved the colors, traditions and hospitality of the Hindu weddings. After viewing their highlight film you will see why.
All of us here at Moonstruck Productions have loved being a part of Bindu and Vishal's wedding and are happy they chose us to be their cinematographer!
Ryan & Kristen's Highlight Film
This wedding was a lot of fun and full of wonderful moments to capture. I absolutely loved the mix of unique and classic tastes that Kristen and Ryan shared. To start, they chose the Amasa Stone Chapel for the ceremony. If you don't know, it is a beautiful historic chapel in University Circle. During the ceremony, Ryan's brother Rob played the piano during the candle lighting and a string duet played the entire service.
Then we headed to the west side of the flats for some breathtaking pictures taken by Lindsey Beckwith. Kristen and Ryan weren't afraid to take a chance and get a little dirty by taking pictures on the bridge over the river. With the sun starting to set, the light was perfect for some very unique images.
We then drove over to the Van Sweringen Arcade where Kristen and Ryan used their creative talents to hand craft all of the table decorations, the invitations and place settings. And as you watch the video, look for the large vase full of origami cranes. Kristen, being true to Japanese tradition, hand folded 1000 of them before the wedding!
We continued the night as guests danced to the sounds of the Grand Avenue Band and ended the night with Ryan sharing his break-dancing skills.
Without further ado, here is the video...

Super 8mm from Michael and Melissa's wedding
This was shot on Ektachrome 100D. The song was composed by Michael (the groom) and was played live for their first dance that night! I love the song and it fits so nicely with the vintage super 8...
Michael and Melissa
Michael and Melissa are one of those couples brimming with talent and creativity. Michael is an extremely talented musician and he not only hand-picked all of the music for the ceremony but he composed a song just for their first dance. We had a great time sharing the day with them.
Here are a few screen grabs from their wedding day...
Getting started, Scott headed over to the Renaissance in Cleveland with the girls.

Melissa's Dad glued a real sixpence to her shoe for good luck.
Michael and the guys.
The ceremony was held at St. Paul's Shrine and afterwards we headed to the Art Museum with another one of our favorite photographers, Tom Forrest.
Mike road along in the limo to capture some great toasts.
I love Tom Forrest's poses and ability to find the best natural light.
At the end of the day I let Michael and Melissa shoot each other with the Super 8mm camera. Check out my next post when I share some of this vintage footage!
