So this is what it feels like when you find the FUN inside of you… welcome to the wedding of Lesley & Mike! If you remember a few months back I captured their Save-the-date photos at Cleveland’s own BIG FUN Toy Store, a powerhouse shop of nerdabilia and nostalgia that you must experience at least once in your lifetime. I knew then that this couple was super cool and that their wedding day would mirror all of this entrainment plus so much more, because the purpose of fun is to live it – right?
We arrive The Lodge at Geneva On-The-Lake, a beautiful summer destination hot spot and could not have asked for a better day… blue skies and sun glowing down upon us. This was a day I would soon not forget. The detail of flowers hung delicately from their gazebo, chairs lined up ready to greet their guests. As they make their entrance Mike gearin’ up for his bride with his game face on, crackin’ his knuckles, ah! Lesley almost made it through the ceremony, but her eyes filled and the tears came… her emotion so heartfelt we all paused to collect ourselves.
As the ceremony sealed with a kiss, this couple and their bridal crew were ready to get the party started! Our post-ceremony candid approach included a few family posed, jump shots, brotherly love-playing and newlyweds kissing xoxo. I thought could this crew provide us any more entertainment, and then the reception began — a photo-frenzy! Photopix photo booth was Representin’ and everyone shared their love to the bride and groom by wearing silly glasses, colorful feather boas, crazy hats and so much more! A super creative approach to capture a book of memories. So the curtain closes from one photo booth to another capturing all of their FUN- love & ever lasting memories one photo at a time. Lesley & Mike, may your love for each other continue to grow and the playful kids inside of all of us remain. –“A Playful Path is the shortest road to happiness.”
