This is proof of a good thing coming out of wasting time. Simon is a friend of a friend. I meet Simon throw this friend on xBox live and those of you who know me know I love my video games . Yes i’m a gamer and proud of it.
Simon and karryn are fun people to be around. My favorite quote from Karryn ” damn it now I am going to have to say yeah I found my photographer on xBox”. Thats awesome!!!

With football season right around the corner I’m thinking these photos are very fitting. Lets face it if you are in the Cleveland area odds are you are a Browns fan.

This is my 2nd wedding at Punderson Manor. This place is just freaking awesome!! I would say it is one of the best spots to have a outdoor wedding.
Melissa and Jason ROCK. I know I say that about all my clients but they really do. I was just B Sing the rest of them (just kidding ). You know what it is. After spending the biggest day of these people’s life and meeting there family and crazy friends I guess i start crashing on them. Who knows but I do love my job. Melissa and Jason you guys do ROCK and I wish you nothing but the best.

Felecia and Shawn wedding in Cleveland Rockefeller Park Greenhouse

Hal — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:05:18 +0000

This wedding was held over the 4th of July weekend. I met Shawn and Felecia over the Winter. Shawn had me crakin up the first time I met him and Felecia was awesome and had some killer ideas about there wedding day. So I just knew this was a wedding I had to shoot. The day was just like I imagined. It was full of jokes and good times. Wedding was took place at Rockefeller Park Greenhouse I wish you guys the best of luck.

We ended up in the ghetto to get some grungy shots. This neighborhood was full of foreclosed homes. Yeah its a sign of the times here and you need not go to the ghetto to find them there everywhere. As I was editing these photos it made me think how cool these photos really are. Here we are in the hardest time in America that I have ever seen using the aftermath of the economy as a backdrop to something beautiful. A new start full of hopes and dreams with the drive to have a better life. That’s all we need.

I have been waiting all year for this wedding. Amanda was a bridesmaid in Jennifer and Andy’s wedding last year. Her and Kyle were the life of the party at this wedding Kyle was tagged as the “dancing boy”. Yeah sorry guys but everyone gets a nick name it entertains me as i spend hours looking and editing photos . So I just knew this wedding was going to be a blast. It lived up to the hype. plenty of time was set aside for photos so we hit a few locations. GOOD TIMES. Amanda and Kyle you guys are AWESOME. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your big day.

Brittany and Justin wedding in North Canton

Hal — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:13:27 +0000

I have been waiting on this wedding for over a year. When I first met Brittany and Justin last year and heard there plans for there wedding I know it was going to be something to see. It was a outdoor wedding witch I am a HUGE fan of. The day of the wedding there was a chance of rain but thankfully it didn’t happen. It was crazy hot and humid. No big deal the wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch.
Brittany and Justin you guys are just AWESOME!!! I am so happy to be a part of your big day!!
Let me set up the photos a bit here. Simply put Justin is a collage baseball coach and it just so happens there was a baseball field right there.

The Night LeBron Quit Cleveland

Hal — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:55:56 +0000

I dont know how it got this big. But this is now called the biggest night in the NBA. The Night we all saw the true colors of a Cleveland “Hero”. I will leave all the writing about this to the writers covering this. Dan Gilbert the owner of the Cavs said it best read the Open Letter to Cavaliers Fans.
I am just 10 min. from downtown Cleveland and knowing that all the LeBron crop will be down by the morning I just had to go see and check on how Cleveland was taking it and of course take some photos. After tonight the face of Cleveland is going to change.

A crowd of Cleveland fans rip up the LeBron jersey”s in protest. If there wasn’t a ton of cops around it would have bruned

The well guarded LeBron Billboard.

Vennie and Bart Engagement Shoot

Hal — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 00:06:35 +0000

This was a fun shoot. Bart’s family has this awesome house in Wadsworth on a ton of land. We spent a few hours shooting and exploring. With all the trails and trees it was just beautiful. There was these beams of light that would shot throw the trees making it look very fairytale like. Yeah it was awesome.

Hal — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 04:28:59 +0000

I have always been a HUGE fan of the 4th. Its all about the good times family, friends, cook outs and fire!!

Danielle and Jon Wedding in NE Ohio

Hal — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 00:47:41 +0000

We start here. Yes this is the first wedding of the year for me. It couldn’t of started better!!! Danielle and Jon are a photographer’s dream. They are creative and outside the box thinkers and just plane fun. I met Jon when we booked the wedding and Danielle was away at collage. You know when you first met someone and you can right of the back tell there style and taste like they are a open book we that is Jon. Yeah no guessing here this will be my type of wedding. A few days before the wedding I met with both Jon and Danielle we exchanged ideas. That just sealed the deal this was going to be a kick ass wedding!!!
The morning of this wedding I was so nervous. Not only was this the first wedding of the year there was one more detail. The father of the bride IS A VERY EXPERIENCED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. Are you kidding me!!! Mark Madere has been shooting weddings for over thirty years. Here I am a Rock n Roll photog in his fourth year of weddings is going to shoot a master of photography’s baby girl. Yeah a bit nerve racking. But after meeting Mark and the whole family eased my mind because they are all great!! Now enough about that and back to Danielle and Jon. You guys are going to have a great life together and I wish you nothing but the best.

Then the rain started. No big deal.

The reception was still a ways off and we had the muchies so we stopped at Chipotle. Yeah whose not a fan?
