Imagen Wedding Photography

So I got kind of bored this winter and decided to take a photography class at Tri-C.  I signed up for Documentary Photography with the hope that I would be given shooting assignments that would keep me inspired and get me out in the field shooting new things.  So day 1 of class our teacher gives us our first assignment;  Self-Documentary.  You can imagine my excitement.  My life was so uneventful that I took a class to jazz it up a bit, only to be told to go document my already mundane life.  Well, 2 weeks into the class I am finding myself quite grateful for this assignment.  Already I am starting to realize there is a difference between mundane and boring.  I think we all get up each day and do the same routines; brush our teeth, shower, go to work, 9-5, head home, eat dinner, go to bed, start over the next day.  I guess when you don’t stop and pay attention to the small things that fill in the gaps of our lives, every day seems the same as the last.

Well the last 2 weeks I have been forced to notice the small things, the space in-between, and it has really given me a greater outlook on my everyday life.  I’m truly learning to find the beauty in the mundane and its been an incredible 2 weeks.

Anyways, here are a few more images from Boston along with a couple of other keepers from the last couple days.  I will be putting more images from my assignment on here periodically, so if you see some random images now you’ll understand.

We just finished up the highlight reel for Bridget & Rick today so I thought I would post it.  Also, a few months back we did a Love Story Video for the couple so I included that as well. Hope you enjoy!

A couple months ago I posted some photos from Sarah & Corey’s Wedding in Warren, Ohio.  The reception was held at The Avalon Inn in Warren, Ohio. The decor was pretty awesome, as always when Joe Mineo of Something New Events does the decorations! Anyways, we did the photography and videography for Sarah & Corey so we decided to make a little montage of the two.  Here it is! Hope you enjoy!

So the last week of October I had the opportunity do a little traveling for a wedding.  The couple, Aga & Raf, found me on Facebook and next thing you know they flew me down to Punta Cana and I photographed their Destination Wedding!  It was an awesome experience working with Aga & Raf.  From the very first time we met I felt that we just kind of “clicked!”  Raf and I found common interest in race cars (what guy doesn’t love fast cars?), and Aga just turned out to be the sweetest little Canadian girl I have ever met! It was an awesome week.  On Monday I shot their wedding and reception, then on Wednesday we did a Trash-the-Dress.  Agnes didn’t go all the way into the ocean, but we had some fun on the beach.  Here are a few of the photos from the trip.

Thanks to the many friends, clients, and family members who voted, Imagen Photography was nominated the Best Wedding Photographers in Cleveland! Marisa and I are so blessed to have won this after only our second year in business!  We are so thankful for our every one of our amazing clients!  Without you guys we are nothing!  We are also extremely grateful for our awesome team members!  You guys know who you are, Stephen, Mike O., Jason, Mark, Clifford, Micah, and Mike H.!  We love you guys and it is an absolute privilege and honor to have you guys on our team!

I know I speak for our entire team of photographers and videographers when I say we look forward to serving our clients even better in 2010! This was a great year for Imagen and we are so thankful for everything we have learned and accomplished!  Also this year Marisa and I have found an awesome group of friends in our Taco Tuesday group! As a young studio we have a lot to learn from some of the longer established photographers in Northeast Ohio.  It’s unbelievable the kind of support we get from what some would view as our direct competitors!  Whether I have questions about equipment or software, or just want to hang out and shoot the breeze till 2:30 am on a Tuesday night these guys have been there for me.  And guys, it really means a lot to me.  You all know who you are.

Thanks again to all of our voters!  To see the other finalists click below.
