Jason + Emily {North Atlanta Wedding Photographer}

Emily & Jason had a beautiful, classy wedding that took place in Cleveland, Ohio! I was so honored to travel up to photograph their big day. The day began getting ready at the Hyatt Arcade in downtown Cleveland. The venue would also serve as the location of their reception later that evening and it is an incredible historic setting.

They didn't do a first look prior to the ceremony, so we had a lot of fun with the blindfolds and sneaking them around to avoid seeing each other too soon! It was sweet to see them exchange gifts and notes ahead of time, though!

The ceremony was held at Emily's childhood church and since they met at the Air Force Academy, they had the proper military sendoff with the arch of swords! We had about 5 minutes for some formal outdoor portraits in the town square en route back to The Arcade in downtown Cleveland.

The hall was decorated with colors of bright yellow and blue and Emily tied in a bird theme to give a nod to their Air Force history. I loved all the personal and detailed touches on the dessert table, at the bar, and sprinkled throughout the banquet hall!

What I'm most excited about is the gorgeous album I was able to design for them! I'm thrilled that they have their day encapsulated in a unique, heirloom album that is a work of art! I will certainly make a separate post highlighting their wedding album along with the additional beautiful pieces they ordered.

I also wanted to give a shout out to my second shooter, Desttany Groesser, for her help with photographing the guys getting ready and other angles throughout the day to help provide a fuller story of their wedding!
