As a Windows on the River wedding photographer, I’m drawn to weddings that balance energy with intention. Jenny and Jordan’s day did exactly that. Their wedding felt modern, emotional, and editorial, while still rooted in genuine connection. Every part of the day flowed with confidence, movement, and personality — and the images reflect that beautifully.
A Wedding Day That Left Room for Creativity
Jenny and Jordan brought an incredible amount of energy to their wedding day. They were playful, confident, and fully present. Because they hosted a Catholic ceremony earlier in the day, we had a generous window of time before the reception began. That space allowed us to move intentionally, rather than rush.
Instead of feeling pulled in multiple directions, their timeline gave us freedom. We used it to create images that feel layered, editorial, and emotionally grounded — from soft bridal portraits to bold couple imagery and timeless wedding party photos.
Bridal Portraits with Movement and Confidence
Jenny’s bridal portraits set the tone early. Framed by flowing white drapery, these images feel light, sculptural, and modern. Her dress — clean lines, strapless silhouette, and a daring slit — photographed beautifully in motion.
These portraits aren’t stiff or overly posed. They’re expressive. Jenny’s confidence and ease come through in every frame, giving the images a fashion-forward feel that still feels honest and joyful.
Portraits at the Cleveland Museum of Art
One of the highlights of the day was heading to the Cleveland Museum of Art for portraits. The grand columns and stone steps provided a timeless backdrop for Jenny and Jordan’s wedding party.
The symmetry of the architecture paired perfectly with their clean, modern aesthetic. Their wedding party portraits feel classic without being traditional — polished, confident, and full of personality. These images ground the day in Cleveland while adding scale and elegance to their final gallery.
Studio Portraits at Quickset Studios
From there, we headed to Quickset Studios, located just east of Downtown Cleveland. This portion of the day introduced a completely different energy — intimate, editorial, and relaxed.
The studio portraits on the leather sofa feel cinematic and intentional. Jenny and Jordan’s connection takes center stage here. The controlled lighting, dark tones, and minimal distractions allowed us to focus purely on emotion, body language, and closeness. These images feel bold and modern, adding depth and contrast to their wedding story.
Romantic Outdoor Portraits with Natural Light
Later in the day, we captured outdoor portraits that leaned into softness and romance. Jenny’s veil moved effortlessly in the breeze. The light filtered gently through the trees. These moments feel quiet and intimate — a pause in the day where everything slowed down.
Jordan’s tenderness and Jenny’s calm presence created images that feel deeply connected. These portraits balance the editorial edge of the studio work with warmth and emotion.
Celebrating at Windows on the River
Their reception at Windows on the River brought everything together. With sweeping views of the water and an open, modern interior, the venue was the perfect match for their style and energy.
Windows on the River is ideal for couples who want their reception to feel expansive and lively without losing elegance. Jenny and Jordan filled the space with movement, laughter, and celebration, making it the perfect conclusion to a thoughtfully paced wedding day.
