The week of Stefani & Rob’s wedding literally started off disastrous with tornados and storms ripping through Cleveland, leaving many without power, including Stef & Rob as well as their reception venue, The Aviator. The morning before their wedding day, we received a text from Stef asking to hop on a quick call…. a call we had been waiting for, knowing the Aviator was powerless. We quickly dialed Stef up, anxious to hear what was happening.
With the Aviator out of commission, they decided to switch to the owner’s second venue. Despite all of her meticulous planning over the last year, and a huge last minute change, Stefani’s calm demeanor told us everything about this amazing couple. No matter the venue, the plans, the dream wedding: They were putting their love ahead of all those details and going on with their wedding day. Nothing could stop the beauty in that!
And then, the morning of the wedding, in what felt like a magical moment, the Aviator’s power came back on. The entire event team moved back into the Aviator to ensure Stef & Rob would get their dream wedding that they so deserved! And ohhhh it was the most perfect day! From the elegant details to the amazing weather and this gorgeous couple, we had such a hard time choosing which photos to share on this blog post!
The girls got ready at Stefani’s parents’ home and then they joined the guys at St. Michael’s Church for their beautiful wedding ceremony. We loved capturing their stunning photos afterwards around the Cleveland Museum of Art and Wade Lagoon.
It was so awesome to join them at the Aviator for their grand celebration! Sparks flew from the floor to the ceiling as they entered the ballroom and got the party started! No matter their age, their supportive family and friends joined in on the dance floor and danced the night away to celebrate their love.
Stef & Rob…. CONGRATULATIONS! <3
What an absolutely, truly perfect day for such a wonderful couple. It was a joy to get to work with you and photograph the best day ever! Thank you so much for choosing Story Told to capture it all.
And a huge shoutout to our second photographer, Betsy. Thank you.
