Frank and Keri were a pleasure to work with.The church was St. James in Lakewood on Detroit ave.This is one of the most amazing churches I have been to. The detail and craftsmanship are exquisite. The hand panted Fresno’s and gold gilding are an art form that is lost this current day.The parish is going to be closing this will be a huge loss to the parishioners. Keri had requested that I arrive early to the church to take some photographs for her album. I had taken 70 photographs in about 20 minutes. This church is a photographers dream.The pictures look wonderful they capture all the details in the work of this parish.
We were able to gather the bridal party up and take the photographs at Coulby Park in Wickliffe.The leafs were slowly changing so we did not have ample fall colors yet but the back drop was still perfect.
The reception was at The Croatian hall in Eastlake. The hall looked amazing Keri has beautiful fall arrangements on every table with fall colored napkins that set the tone.Selective Sounds DJ the event and had the dance floor packed all night. The couple was going to Italy for a two week honeymoon, lucky them.
