That Saturday morning, the sun had finally arrived. After days of rain, clouds and cold, the sun was finally out. We had worked out a rain plan just in case, but it was clear that it would not be needed. Standing in living room at Kaye’s home, I could see clearly out across the lake. I could see the distant storms, slowly dripping over the lake. It was now clear – the storms would miss us for the rest of the day.
What a brilliant day it was. The time had finally come for Kaye & Nathan’s wedding at St. Anthony Padua Church in Lorain. Afterward, we would return to her parents house just down the street. They have a gorgeous lake view with a beach. From the start, Kaye had a clear vision. The formal photos would be on the beach at her parent’s home. So the passing weather made all of this possible again. Afterward, we headed to downtown Cleveland for a few more photos, followed by the wedding ceremony at the Union Club. I always love returning to the Union Club. It’s a gorgeous location and the wonderful staff makes it all that much better.
For Kaye & Nathan’s wedding, the day was filled with little things to adore. Kaye selected wonderful colors of flannel gray and daffodil yellow. The bridesmaids we aglow in their wonderful dresses, accented with silvery shoes. Peaceful moments were shared between all. From a morning embrace by Kaye’s sister to the excited joy shared with her mother. Looking up to Nathan, Kaye’s father presented her with pride (although I’m certain Nathan actually looks up to Kaye’s father). From the altar, Nathan beamed with joy, followed by a final kiss at the end of the wedding ceremony. Portraits in downtown Cleveland were simply gorgeous as the summer sun broke in beams through the soft shade.
The wonderful moments carried right through the wedding reception. Kaye and Nathan we introduced as they descended the Union Club’s grand staircase. The stars came out to witness the first dance. To end the night, the assembled group of wonderful guests danced and partied over the stars until late into the night. Below are just a few highlights to enjoy from their wedding.
