Jessica + Brandon's Downtown Cleveland Wedding at the Hilton | Cleveland Wedding Photographers

Cleveland Wedding Photographers at the Hilton in Downtown Cleveland

Jessica and Brandon had a fantastic wedding and reception in downtown Cleveland! The day was sunny and cool and everyone was excited to celebrate. It was a pleasure being the wedding photographers for Jessica and Brandon’s ceremony at St. Theodosius Orthodox Cathedral, their formal photos around downtown Cleveland and their reception at the Hilton.

Brandon and Jessica met at an annual pig roast through mutual friends. Brandon was standing behind the bar and as Jessica went to go get a drink, he started a conversation up with her. Jessica knew who he was before they met, but she had not idea that would have such a spark right from the beginning!

For a few years, Jessica and Brandon had a friendship, as they were both at different points in their lives. Jessica was living in Columbus, attending college at Ohio State and Brandon lived in Cleveland.

Eventually, Jessica moved home to Cleveland, and when Brandon found out, he finally asked her out on a date.

Together they have supported each other throughout the new chapters in their lives. Jessica was with Brandon throughout his six months in the police academy.

But, after the academy, they decided that they were in different places in their lives, as Jessica was attending grad school and Brandon was starting out his new career.

Three years went by and their paths crossed again. There they were, at the same place where they first met, seeing each other again for the first time in a long time. They couldn’t leave each others’ side. They hung out and after a few days, Brandon finally got enough courage to ask Jessica out on a date. From that point on, there wasn’t a day that went by where they didn’t talk.

Brandon would take Jessica on date after date until they finally made their relationship official. When Brandon and Jessica gave this relationship another shot, the timing was right. They were both in good places to really make the love they had for each other grow. Brandon and Jessica are true best friends whose relationship sparked fire. They enjoy the life they have created with each other in their new home and cannot wait to start this fun journey as husband and wife!

Jessica started out her wedding day by getting ready at her parents home. With her friends and sisters, she was looking forward to her big day! We loved photographing her opening the sweet gift that Brandon gave to her!

Once all the ladies were ready, they headed to St. Theodosius Orthodox Cathedral for their wedding ceremony. This cathedral was simply magnificent in its architecture and artwork. From the icons to the vaulted ceiling, the building in and of itself was a work of art and the perfect place for Jessica and Brandon to start their lives together. Jessica and Brandon’s wedding ceremony had the feel of being in a different century.

After Jessica and Brandon were married, we all headed out for photography around Cleveland. The Italian Cultural Garden was especially beautiful, with the gorgeous staircase and fountain.

The evening culminated with a reception at the Hilton. There was tons of great food, dancing, heartfelt speeches, and lots of laughter to celebrate the newly married couple.

Jessica and Brandon, it was truly a pleasure to be your wedding photographers. We loved getting to know you throughout the whole process and are so excited that you now get to spend forever together! We wish you the very best!
