A Memorable Wedding Weekend for Kate and Al in Cleveland, Ohio

We were thrilled to be part of Kate and Al's wedding weekend, an unforgettable celebration that spanned a cozy, fun-filled grooms' dinner to a breathtaking wedding day at one of Cleveland's most iconic venues. As the photographer, videographer, and DJ for this beautiful couple, we had the privilege of capturing every moment of their joyous journey—from the intimate exchange of vows during their first look to the electrifying dance party under the stunning rotunda at the Hyatt Regency at the Arcade. Here's a look back at the weekend we'll never forget!

Grooms' Dinner: A Shuffleboard Tournament and Bonding Across States

The weekend kicked off with a fun and casual grooms' dinner—a perfect way for Kate and Al to bring together their loved ones from Minnesota and Ohio. The venue was a lively spot with an abundance of character, but the real highlight was the shuffleboard tournament. Guests from both states had a blast competing and connecting over some friendly, competitive fun. The dinner provided a beautiful moment for Kate and Al to enjoy time with their close friends and family in a relaxed environment, sharing laughs and stories before the big day.

The Wedding Day: A Dream at the Hyatt Regency at the Arcade

When the wedding day arrived, it was clear that Kate and Al's vision for their celebration was one of elegance, beauty, and timeless charm. The Hyatt Regency at the Arcade, with its incredible architecture and historic charm, set the stage for a day that blended modern luxury with old-world sophistication.
The moment guests stepped into the venue's grand rotunda, they were immediately taken by the soaring glass dome, intricate detailing, and magnificent marble floors. As a photographer, this was a dream come true. From the moment Kate and Al shared their vows to the lively dance party, there were countless beautiful moments to capture.

A Private Vow Exchange: First Look Before the Ceremony

One of the most intimate and emotional moments of the day took place before the ceremony during Kate and Al's first look. This private moment allowed them to exchange their vows in a serene, personal setting, away from the eyes of their guests. The setting could not have been more perfect—surrounded by the stunning architecture of the Arcade.. The quiet beauty of the moment was palpable, as they shared their promises to each other before the ceremony, marking the beginning of their forever.

Candlelight Dinner & Speeches: Intimate Moments

After the ceremony, guests were ushered into a beautifully decorated dining area where the candlelight dinner added an air of intimacy and romance to the evening. The soft glow of the candles set a magical mood, as friends and family toasted to the newlyweds. The speeches were moving—each one capturing the love and admiration that Kate and Al had cultivated with their loved ones over the years. From touching words from their parents to heartfelt tributes from friends, the evening was filled with laughter, happy tears, and a palpable sense of love.

The Epic Dance Party in the Rotunda

The night truly came alive when the DJ took over and the dance floor opened up in the center of the rotunda. The Hyatt Regency's rotunda is an absolute showstopper, and when the music kicked in, the space transformed into a full-on celebration of love and joy. The high ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and lively atmosphere created the perfect setting for an unforgettable dance party.
Kate and Al shared their first dance surrounded by their friends and family, who quickly joined them on the floor. We kept the party going all night. It was the perfect culmination of an incredible wedding day.
