Photo of the Week #5 February 3, 2010

Happy Wednesday! 

Today I am bringing you the Photo of the Week from Thomas Wodzisz Photography.  I had the privilege of working with Thomas at Erin and Erik’s Wedding and I have been a fan of his work ever since! This image just struck me as gorgeous and has everything a winter bride could ask for – snow, sun and an amazingly beautiful backdrop.   The wedding party took advantage of the beautiful grounds of the Shorby Club for their photo shoot, and boy, did it work! You can check out all the highlights of this wedding at Thomas Wodzisz’s blog HERE - but for now – here’s the Photo of the Week!

Happy Planning!

Photo of the Week #4 January 27, 2010

Happy Wednesday! As promised – here is some inspiration taken by a local NE Ohio photographer at a NE Ohio venue!  This week’s photo come’s to us from Kirsten Alana Photography.  The bride and groom were hosting an At Home Reception (AHR for short) at Willowdale Lake CC following their destination wedding, and they arranged for a very different and fun form of entertainment for their guests - a characature artist! I got to experience this first hand myself at a friend’s reception, and I have to say – I loved having a characature sketch of my husband and I to take home with us!

Photo of the Week  – unique ideas always win me over and artwork makes great artwork!

Check out the rest of  the photos  from Christopher and Sara’s AHR - HERE.  Kudos to Kirsten for a job very well done, and to Ron Hill – characature artist – for some great artwork.

Happy Planning!

Candy Buffets January 25, 2010

 

As wedding plans get back into full swing again, I wanted to take a minute to highlight of my favorite subjects (again) - Candy Buffets!  Candy bars, sweets table, candy buffet – no matter what you call it, they are a huge hit at weddings! In addition to wedding coordination services, I offer Candy Buffet services as well.  Candy buffet services can be in addition to the coordination services, or I can be hired seperately for complete setup or just for glassware rental.  Feel free to shoot me an email regarding candy buffets and I would love to help!  aweddingwish@gmail.com

Photo of the Week #2 January 13, 2010

Probably one of my top favorite venues in NE Ohio is Lake Forest Country Club in Hudson, OH.  I got the privilege of working  Stephanie and John’s Wedding here back on the 4^th of July, and I just FELL IN LOVE with this venue.  So, the POTW comes to us from the talented  Andrew Jordan Photography-Grooms Are People Too  who orchestrated a photo shoot at Lake Forest Country Club recently and I loved all the photos that came from that shoot (See them all HERE).

There are soooo many amazing “backdrops” in this place – you can’t go wrong here! So for your viewing pleasure – Photo of the Week #2:

Photo of the Week – 1 January 6, 2010

So to kick  off 2010 with a new series of posts during the off season, my goal is to bring you  – my awesome readers – images from NE Ohio locations shot by NE Ohio photographers.  I, too, am a blog follower of countless other wedding vendors in NE Ohio, and all too often I find myself saying  – “that is one awesome shot,” or “what a great idea,” or “that is such a perfect photo,” so I figured I would take time each Wednesday to bring you my PHOTO OF THE WEEK that I think needs to be shared again.  I am no pro photographer, so please no hate mail about my selections … this is all in fun and hopefully it will spark some ideas for all you readers planning your big day!  Stop by to see Favorites (new and old) each week!  
To kick it off – my first selection is from Genevieve Nisly Photography. 

 

Fog machine + killer moves = pretty awesome photo.

This makes me want to see more fog machines at future weddings.  See the whole blog post from this wedding HERE.

Happy Planning -
