Nick + Hannah's Winter Wedding in Cleveland, Ohio at St. Anthony of Padua Church & La Vera Party Center | Cleveland Museum of Art Wedding Photos | December 28, 2019
Nick + Hannah’s Christmas time wedding in Cleveland, Ohio was magical! We have had a very busy couple months, with traveling for work and taking some much needed time off for our (late) honeymoon to Hawaii, but we’re so happy to finally able to share this gorgeous wedding! It was such a special day, featuring some amazing people, stunning settings like the Cleveland Museum of Art, and a surprise guest appearance by the Cleveland Browns mascot Chomps. We’re so happy to have been a part of this unique day and so excited for Nick + Hannah as they begin their lifelong journey together as husband & wife!
Nick + Hannah were married at St. Anthony of Padua Church on a sunny December afternoon. Their ceremony was traditional & formal and concluded with a big kiss, many smiles, cheers, and bubble exit! After family formal photos, Hannah also took a few special photos with her favorite girls from the dance studio she owns: Legacy Dance Academy in Parma, OH. These girls were all so cute and well prepared for photos! Hannah made a point of including them in her big day, which shows how passionate she truly is about dance as well as her students! Shout out to this amazing business owner and all female entrepreneurs out there making their dreams a reality! :)
Following formal portraits at the church, we headed over to The Cleveland Museum of Art for bridal party and bride & groom photos. The museum is a classic location any time of year. The indoor public atrium is a large space with natural window light that’s nice for quick winter shoots, especially during December when the Christmas tree is up! We grabbed a few festive & magical shots here before heading outside to use the stunning architecture and grounds of the museum. The weather cooperated and it wasn’t as cold as we expected, so everything worked out really well!
The party then moved to La Vera Party Center in Willoughby Hills. This reception was amaaazing—full of heart, emotion, & fun! Speeches were moving, dances were emotional, cake cutting was so sweet, and the rest was a riot! Chomps made a guest appearance and sparked the crowd, lighting up the dance floor! It was definitely a party and everyone thoroughly enjoying the night, both young and old! (The kids were especially energetic and were actually really good dancers—much better than Donny & I haha) This was the perfect way to conclude such a special day!
We’re so happy to have been able to capture this wonderful day for Nick + Hannah and we hope this blog helps everyone involved relive these life changing moments! :)
