Winter Wonderland for Christa and Aaron!

The Toledo Club was the perfect setting for Christa Arkebauer and Aaron Pumerantz's winter wedding. Christa and Aaron were married on December 11 at Rosary Cathedral with a reception to follow at The Toledo Club. The Club was decorated with all things "Christmas," complete with lit trees and garlands in every room. Entertainment was provided by KGB, and each guest couple received a hand-blown glass wine stopper crafted by Steve Cothern, assistant manager of the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion, as a special remembrance of the occasion.

Aaron is a Captain in the U.S. Army and is completing his residence in internal medicine at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC. Christa has a Master of Biomedical Science Degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (which is where they met) and is pursuing advanced degrees in occupational therapy. The couple currently reside in Silver Springs, Maryland.


We wish you a happy lifetime together and we enjoyed spending this cold December day with you!

Ringing in the New Year!

New Year's Eve is always a blast, so imagine celebrating your wedding AND bringing in the new year on the SAME DAY!! We had two spectacular weddings this year on New Year's Eve, and what a blast we had!

Olivia Kemmer and Ryan Hunt were married at the Christ the King, followed by a beautiful reception at the Hilton Toledo. The decor and flowers were done by Keith Brooks Florist, and Bee for the Day Wedding Consulting helped to make sure all the wedding planning went smoothly. Olivia's mother is the one and only Alice Kemmer, of I Do Chair Covers, so she had a lot of experienced professionals to work with! With a little time to spare between the ceremony and reception, the bridal party stopped at the Toledo Museum of Art and the always gorgeous Lights before Christmas at The Toledo Zoo.






Katy Boyle and Dustin Williams tied the knot at St. Joseph's Sylvania with a stunning reception at the Sylvania Country Club. Katy and Dustin are both resident doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ so thankfully our typically frigid Ohio weather wasn't as bad as it normally is! Katy's family lives in Sylvania, so the wedding party stayed toasty indoors and had many of their formal photos taken at her family home. Dustin's aunts are florists from California and flew in some spectacular flowers, and the always wonderful Bartz Viviano Flowers allowed them to borrow their workspace to make their arrangements. So a special thanks to Bartz Viviano for helping Katy and Dustin's wedding day beautiful!









Congratulations to our New Year's Eve couples, it was a great way to bring in the new year!

Tina and Ron's sunset wedding

Stevie and Bob traveled to beautiful Lido Key (Sarasota, FL) for Tina Billmaier and Ron Shapiro's wedding day. Although a bit colder than expected, the sunset was beautiful. The beach was snow white and the couple exchanged vows amongst close friends and family. A lovely reception followed at the Lido Beach Resort. The evening ended with the groom and friends playing music and singing along.

Sandcastles in Naples

Grand Lubell is off to Florida for the destination wedding of Tina and Ron, but not without a few days off. Monday we visited the beach at the Ritz Carlton, Naples to find sand artist Victor Leong of Miami Beach Sandcastles. A true artist, Victor works only with his hands and water drip to sculpture. Did I mention that the temperature was about 45 degrees with 40 mile per hour gusts off the gulf? The work is fantastic and would be even more spectacular if we could have seen the night show. If the wind was down, they would have added flaming towers to the castle.

Tuesday we will shoot Tina and Ron's wedding on the beach in Sarasota at the Lido Beach Resort. We hope to brave 55 degrees and 8 mile per hour winds.

Corda Ryan and Brad VanderVlutch- Toledo Wedding Photography

Corda and Brad should have no problems remembering their wedding date of 10/10/10. A very unique ceremony and reception were held on the rooftop of LaSalle Apartment Building.

Nobody could deny that Corda was an absolutely stunning bride.

Guests enjoyed a variety of foods up on the rooftop.

Brad could not take his eyes off of his beautiful bride.

The couple gazes off into their future life together.

Stevie had fun photographing Corda and Ryan in such a fun, unique setting. After taking engagement and wedding photos of Mr. and Mrs. VanderVlutch, GLP looks forward to the next opportunity to capture the couple.

Stacie Klewer and Brian Stankos- Toledo Wedding Photography

On October 2, 2010, Stacie and Brian committed their lives to one another. The wedding ceremony took place at St. Rose Parish. A beautiful reception followed in the glass pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art.

A very classic, elegant look was captured in this photo.

The flower bouquets held by the bride and bridesmaids were gorgeous.

Stacie and Brian shared many kisses throughout their romantic day.

At the reception, many unique shots were taken at the art museum.

Cypress Barrow and Jacob Urrutia- Toledo Wedding Photography

Cypress and Jacob shared an exquisite wedding day on September 25, 2010. The ceremony was held at the Whiteford Greenhouse, which is also Cypress' home. The reception followed at Centennial Terrace. The day was expertly coordinated by Bee For The Day and Brooke Cobb.

This photo was taken moments after the couple first saw each other on their special day.

The colorful boutonnieres, by Keith Brooks Florist, matched the rest of the wedding decorations perfectly.

The elegant flowers and peacock feathers were a theme carried out in many aspects of the wedding, including the cake.

This was just one of the table decorations that was set out at the reception.

Stevie got to witness the couple's happiness on their wedding day, and wishes them many more happy days to come.
