Hi! This blog is a great place to see highlights from weddings, which I think is more helpful than viewing a portfolio comprised of random favorites from a million different weddings. Please keep in mind that I deliver around 1,000 edited photos per wedding, so these posts are just 50-ish photos I liked from these weddings. Let me know if you'd like to see an entire wedding gallery—I'm happy to send you a link!
As a wedding photographer in Cleveland, I’ve always had a list of dream venues—places that I’d drive by and imagine capturing love stories within their walls. Ariel Pearl Center was one of those spots. I used to pass by and peek through those massive windows, picturing the way the light would pour in and how stunning a wedding would look inside. Thanks to Noah and Paige, that dream became a reality.
The day started at the Westin Cleveland Downtown, where Noah and Paige got ready surrounded by their closest friends and family. The Westin’s sleek, modern suites provided the perfect setting for those quiet, intimate moments before the big celebration.
Before their official ceremony, Noah and Paige shared a deeply personal moment—a private vow exchange at Mentor United Methodist Church. Away from the crowd, they stood together, speaking words meant just for each other. It was an incredibly emotional and intimate moment, setting the tone for the rest of their wedding day. You could see the love and excitement in their eyes, knowing that in just a short while, they would officially become husband and wife.
Before heading to the venue, we took portraits at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, one of the most breathtaking locations in the city for wedding photos. With the fall foliage in full display, the gardens provided a dreamy, romantic backdrop. Noah and Paige walked hand in hand along the tree-lined paths, stealing quiet moments together before the celebration began.
Nestled in the heart of Cleveland, Ariel Pearl Center is the epitome of elegance. With its grand chandeliers, soaring ceilings, and those iconic arched windows that flood the space with natural light, it’s a photographer’s dream. The venue, housed in a beautifully restored historic bank, combines vintage charm with timeless sophistication. The marble floors, intricate architectural details, and rich history made the perfect backdrop for Noah and Paige’s wedding day.
Noah and Paige’s wedding was the perfect blend of classic elegance and effortless joy. From the moment Paige stepped into her gown to the emotional vows they exchanged, every detail felt straight out of a timeless romance novel. But make no mistake—this wedding was also a celebration. Their reception was filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts that had everyone tearing up one minute and cracking up the next.
Photographing this wedding at Ariel Pearl Center was everything I had imagined—and more. The way the light poured in through the windows, illuminating each moment with a golden glow, was pure magic. Whether it was their first dance beneath the grand chandeliers or their stolen glances during golden hour, every image told a story of love, joy, and timeless beauty.
Noah and Paige, thank you for making my dream come true and for letting me be a part of your incredible day. If you’re planning your own wedding at Ariel Pearl Center, I’d love to help capture the magic of your love story, just like I did for these two.
If you’re considering Ariel Pearl Center for your wedding, trust me—it’s as dreamy as it looks. The elegance, the history, the light—it all comes together to create the perfect setting for a day you’ll never forget. Let’s make your vision come to life!
