Mustache Party for Marky Mark

Many of you know my photographer friend, Mark Davidson. Well, tomorrow Mark is moving to Boston to start his career there as a wedding photographer.  Mark is an extremely talented photojournalist who has not only taught me a ton about photography, but also about being a good friend.  So, last night Marisa and I thought it would be fun to throw Mark a going away party at our newly renovated studio! After weeks of brainstorming and a bunch of ridiculous ideas we decided to make Mark’s party a Mustache Party.  We invited a bunch of friends including old high school buddies, some family, and a handful of other Cleveland Wedding Vendors!  We asked that every shows up with a ’stache, and the rest is history!  Marisa and I threw up a megabooth and took a bunch of hilarious photos.  Here are a few of my favorites!

My nephew Xavier & I. He was hilarious!

Thats right, Burt Reynolds! That was the prize for the best real ’stache..  Congrats Andrew, I hope to see that photo next time I’m in your studio!

Also,  the photo was signed… “Keep it clean, keep it thick, keep on ‘Stashin!” -Burt…  Awesome.

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.

Wedding: Pine Ridge Country Club, Wickliffe Ohio

Last weekend my associate Mike and I had a chance to shoot Kelly & Anthony’s wedding at Pine Ridge Country Club! Not even kidding this was like our 5th wedding there this year! However, this wedding was the first one we shot there that featured awesome up-lighting and linens from the one and only Valarie Kirkbride! As the bride’s sister-in-law Valerie had the opportunity to help plan the couples wedding and also enjoy being a guest that night.  For the wedding ceremony we were at First Church Congregational in Painesville Ohio.  The church had such beautiful light and awesome stained glass!  After the ceremony we went over to Squire’s Castle for photos then stopped by Coulby Park on the way back to the reception.  Here are a few photos from the day and a slideshow at the end.Pine Ridge Wedding_0031Pine Ridge Wedding_0030
