Liisa and Roland first contacted me last year about photographing their wedding at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, one of my favorite Northeast Ohio wedding venues. The Hall and Gardens offer so many gorgeous locations for photos. The gardens are so expansive that, despite photographing several weddings there over the past 15 years, we wandered into a spot that I had no idea even existed, the Japanese Garden.
While we did have to dodge a few raindrops after their first look, the skies cleared up for their intimate ceremony at the picturesque Tea Houses at the end of the Birch Tree Allee, officiated by Megan Tellalian of Married by Megan.
After the ceremony and a few more photos on the grounds of Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, everyone met back up for a brief reception at Fairmount Cocktail Bar in Cleveland Heights, not far from where Liisa and Roland met.
Congratulations Liisa and Roland! Here are a few of my favorite photos from your day.
