Destination Brides get your dress now

If you are thinking about a destination wedding this coming season my friends at All Brides Beautiful here in Hudson are having a Trunk Show and Sale this weekend. They have some of the most amazing dresses and such a boutique feel to their shop.

As a bonus to buying your destination gown during the sale I will be offering a free engagement session to those brides. I have some sample work on display to check out while you are there. Give me a call if you have any questions.

Happy Holidays!

 

The new site is live !

I have really enjoyed blogging and so the main site has kinda taken a backseat. Well today I am happy to release the new and improved Andrew Jordan Photography website. I have gone for a cleaner and easier to navigate site. The images are some of my favorites from the past season. They include my two destination weddings to Punta Cana and Turkey. A few cool new features are the ability to email an image to a friend an online calendar and the full screen feature. Next up is a little facelift on the blog.

Announcements

An all new site is coming soon featuring some of my favorite images from the past season. I will highlight some images from a few destination weddings along with other new galleries. I have really been using my blog to connect with my clients this year kinda ignoring the main site, so its time for an update.

Also...I will be offering an album special for the next two new wedding bookings for the 2009 season. When you add a two album set to your coverage for a savings of $500. If you are interested contact me for details.

Favorites from 2nd shooting for Tom Forrest

The past few two weekends I have shot with Tom. We traded out one weekend and I was the official 2nd shooter this weekend. Shooting a wedding with two lead shooters is a real treat. We can take turns setting up the creatives and end up with completely but complimentary takes on the same scene. There is a friendly competition that happens with the client being the winner. I am looking forward to more opportunities in the future.

Caroline and Jordan

Caroline and Jordan got the luckiest weather break of the season. Following the ceremony the sun peaked out from the clouds and we were able to make a quick pit stop in Hudson. While there we stopped into one of the local bars for a group shot.

My good friend and co-founder of Taco Tuesday Tom Forrest helped me out this week. He always has great work and grabbed that fun kiss shot in front of the gazebo. I'll be rolling with Tom in a few weeks for one of his weddings, so check the blogs for those highlights too.

Greg from the Greenhouse in Hudson did a great job with the flowers and the reception was held at the beautiful Hilton Garden Inn in Twinsburg.

Congratulations Caroline and Jordan.

Christy and Mauricio's Wedding

I have been looking forward to their wedding for some time now. I knew there would be lots of emotion and excitement. Mauricio is from Venezuela, but he has moved to the states to be with Christy.

The ceremony was held at St. John's Cathedral. Afterwards, guests walked up E. 9th to the market cafe and wine bar for a laid back reception which was being watched via the internet in Venezuela for family and friends who could not make it! So cool!

The day ran smoothly with the help of Brides Best Friend, Denise Shaw and Jason Kelly did a great job with Christy's make up. I look forward to working with both Denise and Jason again soon!

Congrats again Christy and Mauricio! Have a great time is Vegas and I'll see you soon.

Michelle and Jason

Congratulations Michelle and Jason!

I had a great time photographing their wedding, enjoying the great weather and outdoor locations. Music before the ceremony and again at the reception was provided by James and Sylvia Kalal,whom I have ran into a several weddings. Some friends of mine at Stems put together great seasonal arrangements. The reception was held here in town at Lake Forest CC, which has some of the nicest gardens around. White Flower Cake Shoppe did a wonderful job too.

Albums Album Albums

I wanted to post a few detail shots of some new and current albums I am offering. The Bijou is the newest to my collection and will be replacing the CoffeeTable album. While the CoffeeTable album was beautiful I am opting for the true photographic prints which are coated for protection. The Bijou features thinner pages and amazing creased panos which do not split the page spreads. The thinner pages also make the book a bit less bulky. Next up is the Photobook. This album is intended to be a parent album or clone to the main album. I can now offer the Photobook up to a 9" square option which would make a great album as well. The Photobook also offers the ability to design a full image cover which wraps front to back. I am showing side by side images of the current Zookbook which has been my main album for several years. I am going to be phasing these out and soon offering the Signature line. The Signature will also offer the creased spreads like the Bijou, but the pages will be thicker. I will be posting images of this album soon. If you currently have an album in production and would like to consider upgrading please let me know.

A super chill group for a fun October wedding day. The entire wedding party and family were a treat to work with, including uncle John.

Hannah and Michael

Yesterday was a wonderful day for a early wedding and afternoon brunch. Hannah and Michael were so relaxed and enjoying their day. There was a nice bluish color theme that ran though the day. I think it mixed very well with our early autum weather. Also a very cool vintage car was great prop to work with.

Congratulations guys!

Kristen and Ed

I can't say how very wonderful this wedding was. Kristen and Ed were so laid back and relaxed and ready to have some fun. I was able to get a lot of the pictures done prior to the ceremony. Although it was not planned I was able to have Ed sneak up behind Kristen during the creative session and captured her surprise. Have a great time in Cancun!

Alina and Daniel
Sunday night with all the wind and rain from Hurricane Ike, Alina and Daniel got married at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens
We were able to get out for a few shots throughout the garden. It was probably the quickest creative session I have ever had.
I loved their cake and the colors. The evening was filled with beautiful music ( provided by Alina's musician friends ), great toasts and even a waltz lesson for the guests. 

My favorite DJ in whole world Scott Jones from Jerry Bruno Productions did a great job as usual and kept the party going.

Congratulations to Alina and Daniel and have a great trip back to England.
