Anne & Michael // Wedding in Cleveland and Happy Days Lodge

Every wedding is special and unique, and Anne & Michael’s was definitely that and so much more. They had one of those incredible weddings where happiness, joy and laughter fill every moment of the day and you can’t help but smile and enjoy it along with them.

We have really enjoyed getting to know Anne & Michael this past year and we were really looking forward to working with them again after their totally adorable E-Session, which you can check out here if you missed it. Without question, they are one of the sweetest and most romantic couples we’ve worked with. That’s probably due to the fact that they’re so genuinely in love and so thrilled to be getting married that they just can’t contain their excitement. They couldn’t stop smiling and would spontaneously burst into laughter and we loved it! Makes taking photos so much fun! And that’s how we would describe every moment of this day… unrestrained, unstoppable fun!

We started at Anne’s home for getting ready photos and then enjoyed some locations in Cleveland for the First Look and portraits before coming back to Hudson for the ceremony and reception. We’ve been so excited to get these lovebirds on the blog and we hope you enjoy their day as much as we did!Eric_and_Christy_Photography_Blog_Wedding_Anne_Michael-1-2 Eric_and_Christy_Photography_Blog_Wedding_Anne_Michael-3 Michael showing his son Michael how to look this good…Eric_and_Christy_Photography_Blog_Wedding_Anne_Michael-4-5 We started the morning at The Cleveland Museum of Art for their First Look which was such a gorgeous location.
