Where It All Started...

Grand Lubell Photography began as Lubell Studio exactly 39 years ago. In the company's first two years, Bob photographed over 70 weddings. Starting out, Lubell Studio also did many commercial jobs.

Bob's humble childhood home where the business began.

This dark room, which Bob built himself, is where all of the photo processing took place when it was all done by hand. So different from how it is done today!

GLP is happy to celebrate 39 years serving you, and we look forward to many more years to come!

Renee Zaccarell and Josh Friedrich - Toledo Wedding Photography

Family and friends gathered to see Renee and Josh give their vows on September 4, 2010. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Toledo.

The stunning bride got a few photos taken alone before seeing Josh.

Stevie, the photographer, captured great shots of the couple outside of the Crown Plaza.

Stevie captured some of the fine details of the wedding.

Renee and Josh had a great sense of humor, and Stevie had fun making memories with them. GLP wishes them the best in their new marriage!

Banhi Burke and Andrew Gallegos- Toledo Wedding Photography

Banhi and Andrew tied the knot on September 18, 2010. They had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at Nazareth Hall. Friends and family then gathered at Banhi's parents' house for the reception. The bride proudly wore a stunning red dress, which is traditional for an Asian-Indian wedding, which is her heritage.

Bob was able to capture beautiful photos of the couple before the ceremony.

The ceremony at the grotto was decorated very elegantly.

The lovely bride and her bridesmaids took some fun outdoor shots together.

Fun lights and decorations added a splash to the reception.

Bob enjoyed spending the day making memories with the new Mr. and Mrs. Gallegos. GLP wishes them many more happy days to come!

Shannon Reilly and Vinod Nannapaneni - Michigan Wedding Photography

GLP is known for being the most respected photographer amongst traditional ethnic families. We have compassion and understanding for the specialized needs of long time customs and traditions. Fortunately, we were given the opportunity to spend the day with Shannon and Vinod on August 28, 2010. An early Hindu wedding ceremony was held at the Hindu Temple. Later, a western ceremony was held at the home of the bride's mother.

These were Shannon and Vinod's ceremonial offerings during the Hindu wedding pooja.

Ethnic weddings often have beautiful vibrant cloths, flowers, and other decorations.

This guest's bright corsage complimented the rest of the colors at the wedding.

Flowers were placed in these glasses and used as gorgeous table decorations.

GLP greatly enjoyed sharing a part of culture with Shannon and Vinod on their wedding day. We wish the best for the new couple!

Ashley Hettle and Dino Santacroce - Toledo Wedding Photography

Ashley and Dino committed their lives to each other on August 21, 2010 at St. Catherine's. After the ceremony, they headed to The Pinnacle to celebrate for their reception.

Stevie, the photographer, captured some great shots of the couple in the gorgeous sunset.

Ashley and Dino gave up their diamonds for just a few minutes so Stevie could capture these photos.

Stevie looks forward to a post wedding photography session with the couple. We love to see our brides and grooms come back! Best of luck to Ashley and Dino!

Melissa Poulson and Jason Hanely - Toledo Wedding Photography

Melissa and Jason held their wedding ceremony at St. Ignatius on July 30, 2010. A fun-filled reception followed at the Sunrise Banquet Center.

Stevie, the photograher, incorporated many different aspects of the wedding in various photos.

The couple had many cool, classic cars that led them from the ceremony to the reception.

Having a designer as a bride provided fun, unique arrangements and decorations.

We were honored to take part in these precious memories made with Melissa and Jason. GLP wishes them many more great memories to come!

Congrats Kim and Steve! - Toledo Engagement Photography

Former GLP intern, Kim Shook, came back and brought her fiance, Steve Grunwell, for engagement photos!

The weather was beautiful on this Saturday morning shoot.

Stevie, the photographer, enjoyed spending time with the couple--especially getting to see Kim again.

Stevie captured a fairytale, "happily ever after" appearance in this unique photo.

GLP cannot wait to photograph Kim and Steve's wedding next October! We wish them the best with all of their wedding planning!
