Hayley & Duran’s Tenk West Bank Wedding
Hayley and Duran’s wedding day at Tenk West Bank marked nearly a decade of life together. Their relationship is rooted in longevity, trust, and intentional love—qualities that shaped every part of their celebration. Set along the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland, their wedding felt modern, grounded, and deeply personal.
Serving as both their wedding photographer and videographer allowed me to tell their story in a cohesive, immersive way. From quiet moments to full-room celebration, the day unfolded naturally, without pretense. Hayley and Duran created space to slow down, stay present, and truly experience their wedding.
A Cleveland Wedding Venue with a Modern, Urban Feel
Tenk West Bank is one of Cleveland’s most compelling wedding venues. The space blends industrial elements with warm textures and expansive riverfront views. Natural light fills the room, and the neutral design allows emotion, connection, and storytelling to remain at the forefront.
For photography and videography, Tenk West Bank offers clean sightlines, dynamic light, and an energetic atmosphere. It was an ideal setting for Hayley and Duran—elevated, intentional, and unmistakably Cleveland.
Couples Portraits at the Cleveland Museum of Art & Wade Lagoon
Before the reception, we stepped away for couples portraits at the Cleveland Museum of Art, near Wade Lagoon. This location remains one of the most timeless portrait settings in the city. The classical architecture, reflective water, and surrounding landscape provide a calm contrast to the energy of downtown.
After nearly ten years together, Hayley and Duran were completely at ease. Their portraits felt effortless and authentic. As both photographer and videographer, I was able to move seamlessly between still imagery and motion, capturing the same moments from multiple perspectives without interrupting their connection.
A Wedding Day Defined by Intention
There was a quiet confidence throughout the entire day. Hayley and Duran were fully present—with each other, with their families, and with their friends. Every moment felt unhurried. Nothing was forced.
Their ceremony was sincere and emotional. As the evening unfolded, Tenk West Bank transformed into a space filled with movement, laughter, and celebration. Photographing and filming the reception allowed me to preserve not just how the night looked, but how it felt—from subtle glances to the collective energy on the dance floor.
Photography and Videography in Downtown Cleveland
Downtown Cleveland offers an incredible range of visual storytelling opportunities. From iconic cultural landmarks to modern riverfront venues, each location adds depth and character to a wedding day narrative.
Tenk West Bank continues to be one of my favorite venues for couples who value authenticity, design, and atmosphere. When paired with portraits at the Cleveland Museum of Art, it creates a wedding day flow that translates beautifully across both photography and film.
