Look at this kid! 4 years old, sitting at a coffee shop with her dad and his camera.
By the way, that camera had a Carl Zeiss 50mm lens and was filled with Kodak E100 slide film.

Liz is not only a future bride (2013), but also a friend. We wanted to plan a shoot with her hair/makeup girl (Ramona Studios) to have some fun and get some nice images while we waited for the weather to warm up. Both Ramona and Elizabeth knocked it out of the park. I shot 4 rolls of film, but the following images are the digital shots. I usually use my digital to figure out the lighting situation first, then pick up the film cameras. So, here you go!

Kara and Zach were already married, in Canada, a few months ago. It took forever for Kara to get the proper paperwork to get herself into The States to be with Zach. Well, it finally happened!
Their marriage ceremony in Canada was a super-small affair with just immediate family, so they wanted to throw a party here in Cleveland so everyone can get together and party.
Zach made all the food (HUGE taco bar) and everyone contributed with decor, dessert, and the planning. A total group effort.
3 local Cleveland bands and a late-night DJ were lined up. The party was happening. They had me out to take a few pics and document the evening. It was a blast!
Hopefully I soon will be helping with the photography for Kara’s new album, due to be recorded here in Cleveland. Look for her (www.karakauffman.com) appearing at your favorite clubs in 2013!

We met Amber and Phil while shooting Kathleen and Dave’s wedding last winter. Luckily, Julie and I went back to the bar at the hotel and hung out with the wedding party. That’s when we talked to Amber and Phil and all but signed the paperwork to shoot their wedding. They were married a few weeks ago at the House of Blues on Cleveland’s historic Euclid Ave. They were a TON of fun and I could not be happier with the way their photos turned out! We met at The Hyatt in the Old Arcade for the morning prep, then it was off to their first look. Congratulations you two!!

Heather and Mike are set to be married on July 6th, 2013. Can’t wait for this! Hanging out while shooting these engagement photos was very enjoyable, plus they have this great demeanor about them. Very quiet and easy to talk to. I’m a huge fan of how these pics turned out.

Brittney and Bryan chose the amazing St. Colman’s church on W. 65th for their wedding. It was a great decision. St. Colman’s is one of our best. Then we headed downtown for photos before settling in the Lake View room at Windows on the River. I cannot thank their families enough for making Julie and I feel so welcome. They are such sweet people! We had a blast this Oct. 6th night. Congratulations you two!
