Yesterday was Matt and Andrea’s wedding day. I was especially excited for this day for several reasons. First, Matt is the brother of my assistant, Renee, and she was in the wedding. Secondly, Matt is, himself, in the wedding industry and is the owner of R&S Productions, so it’s great to have the honor of photographing the wedding of someone who is in the industry. Thirdly, I consider Matt, Andrea and Renee friends so it was important for me to be on top of things all day. The day started with Andrea getting ready in one of the suites at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, Ohio. Then it was onto the church for the ceremony. We stopped briefly in downtown Canton, then it was back to Gervasi for more images there. The reception took place at The University Center at Kent. Entertainment was provided by Nick at Big Ear Entertainment; photo booth provided by Elite Photo Booth of Ohio. Rock the House Entertainment provided the lighting for the reception site, and I have to say, they did fabulous. The room wasn’t carelessly flooded with color but had just the right amount of light throughout the room
The day went without a hitch. Everyone was on time and that gave me a ton of time to do what I do. The night ended at Gervasi (I was the honorary chauffeur to Matt and Andrea) . It was especially difficult to pick my favorites since I have so many, but I wanted to get the blog up before Matt and Andrea left for their honeymoon on Monday. Thank you to Matt and Andrea for trusting me with your day and to the bridal party, the Reisinger’s and Doria’s for being so accommodating. Also, thank you to Sarah Gribble for filling in for Renee and Danaé Behr , of Behr Photography, for lending a hand as well. They did outstanding yesterday considering they went from the frying pan to the fire. I will say that I definitely missed having Renee there but I’m quite certain she enjoyed being on the other side of the camera (and to not have me barking at her all day.) Be sure to leave a comment for Matt and Andrea below. Here are a few images from the day.

Larry, you did an AMAZING job! These pictures look awesome and we can NOT wait to see the rest when we get back! Our day went off without a hitch because we hired the PERFECT vendors. You were so fun to work with and made the day that much more enjoyable.
The fifth picture down of Andrea leaning back is absolutely stunning. Congratulations, Matt and Andrea! You were certainly in good hands for the day. Andrea, your dress is the prettiest one that I have seen in a long time. And Larry, please tell me the photos ended with that last one. LOL…
LARRY! We don’t know what to say! Your pictures are …fantastic! The way you captured every detail, moment, feeling…. It is no wonder that you have won so many awards in the industry! I can’t thank you enough for being a part of our celebration. It was a very long day for you, but the pictures you captured of all the memories will last us all a lifetime! Thanks again, Cheryl and Jim
Gorgeous! I can’t wait to see more! The photos of the father/daughter and mother/son dance make me want to cry all over again! You truly captured the romantic feel of this beautiful wedding!
