There are wedding days that flow so seamlessly, it feels like time slows down just enough to let every moment soak in. Ella and Ryan’s June 7th wedding was exactly that kind of day—beautifully paced, full of heart, and set against some of Cleveland’s most iconic backdrops.
A Ceremony in Little Italy
Their ceremony took place at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Little Italy, one of the most charming and historic neighborhoods in the city. It was the perfect setting for a heartfelt Catholic ceremony, surrounded by family and friends.
After the ceremony, we had extra time—thanks to Ella and Ryan staying ahead of schedule—so we took full advantage with portraits at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Italian Cultural Gardens. These two locations never disappoint, but what made the portraits shine was how relaxed and joyful Ella and Ryan were. Their chemistry is so effortless, and it made for some truly stunning shots.
Marriott Key Tower Reception and Gorgeous Decor
From there, we headed downtown for their reception at the Marriott at Key Tower. The ballroom was elegantly styled, with floral installations, romantic lighting, and thoughtful details that tied everything together. As the evening unfolded, their guests danced, laughed, and toasted to a love that was clearly felt by everyone in the room.
One of my favorite moments came after the wedding, when Ella and Ryan visited my studio for their photo and video reveal. Watching them relive their day—especially their emotional reaction to the wedding film—was a reminder of why I do what I do.
Ella left one of the kindest reviews I’ve ever received, and I’m deeply grateful for her words:
“From start to finish, Jordan was the perfect mix of calming, professional, and direct… The final reveal was emotional and unforgettable… Jordan delivered on everything he promised and then some.”
It means the world to work with couples like Ella and Ryan who trust me to tell their story. Their wedding was a celebration of love, legacy, and intentional moments—and I’m so honored to have been a part of it.
