I had a great time with you during the engagement shoot and knew the wedding day would be a blast.

It was also a pleasure doing another Siegal Wedding!  Landerhaven looked so wonderful!  Pieter Bouterse

as always outdoes himselff on the decor!  Ginny Sukenik and her team of coordinators made sure everything went off without a hitch.  Eugene Ross and the Chozen Few (NOT Chosen) kept the crowd going strong.  I was loving the snow whenever you gave me the opportunity!  Thanks again for trusting me and “going with it”!  Those were some of my favorites!  Congratulations!

Candy and I are so happy for you guys!  As I said earlier it didn’t hit me until I saw

the two of you together that I remembered you both from seven years ago!  Everything was so perfect!

Yitty Dessler did an impeccable job planning and you did have the dream team of vendors!  The Renaissance

was beautifully decorated by Pieter Bouterse and Yitty’s tablecloths of course!  Moish did his usual terrific job

with the food (not an easy task for 550 guests).  The band from NYC certainly kept everyone dancing all evening.

All eight of your photographers are still recovering as well as going through all of the files!  Hope you like what you see so far!!!

Mazal Tov!

Jonathan & Team!

Kate and Kevin are a stunning couple.  Everything about the day was elegant, from the dress to the flowers and let’s not forget the flower girl… what a doll!  Candy could have taken photos of the kids all night long dancing the tango.  The weather could not have been more perfect especially for January!  We look forward to seeing you guys at Cleveland Yoga!

Kaye & Mark

January 5, 2012 by Jonathan Koslen | Leave a comment

What a wonderful way to wrap up the year!  When Kaye and Mark had their 1st look before the ceremony Kaye’s expressiveness was so sweet and wonderful that I had to tell my wife to be more like her!

It was a very sweet moment between the two of them and when I wanted a laugh or two from them it was so easy!  I was warned that Mark doesn’t like to smile for pictures but his day was so perfect how could he not.

The Ritz Carton’s newest event coordinator Emily did a fantastic job!  Tina (Prestige Floral), Phyllis Lester (cake lady) and the band Steve Fazzini all helped to make their day terrific!

Heather and I were expecting… well just what we got!

We set high expectations from your engagement shoot in Vegas

and knew that the wedding would be a lot of fun as well!

I smile whenever I think of the two of you such a bad girl and

a cop!  I’ll stop there but you both are a lot of fun to watch and

hang out with!

Sloane & Maris’ Bat Mitzvah

November 7, 2011 by Jonathan Koslen | Leave a comment

As guests flooded in to Beechmont Country Club on Saturday evening, jaws dropped to the floor in awe of the breathtaking decor.  Without a doubt the most wonderful sight of the evening were two young ladies, sparkling in silver party dresses.  Congratulations to Sloane and Maris–how wonderful you were able to celebrate one another’s accomplishments standing side by side.  Melissa, Dustin, and I all commented on how tremendously supportive, loving, and full of personality your family is.  We are so grateful for your letting us share the celebration with you, and we hope your photos enable a long-lasting memory.   -Leslie, Dustin & Melissa

It is always to be a part of a special day.  I really enjoyed talking with and meeting your families.

Sao Paulo Brazil seems like a really nice place to live and it was so nice to see all of you in sunny Cleveland!

Thanks for finally allowing me to get my pictures, even though we started two hours behind schedule I still managed

to finish on time and have a wonderful time with you all!

it didn’t take much to get great photos from you and your families.  It is so nice to see the parents literally glowing from happiness as well!  Landerhaven pulled through with the most difficult room change that I have seen in a long time and

Jerry Bruno managed to get everything set up on time!  It is always nice to work with Jerry and watch the event unfold in such an amazing way!

Lisa and BenIt was said at the wedding that Ben and Lisa were "just friends" for a while. After reading the engagement story, it was so evident that friendship was the basis for this amazing relationship. It was such a pleasure to be a part of something so special. You can see that having a wedding with two graduates of Chagrin Falls created an awesome dynamic for such a fun time. Congratulations to you both!

During such an intimate and beautiful ceremony and reception, Jonathan and I felt as though we were truly welcome amongst your closest friends and family.  Throughout the day we, amongst many others, made a comment along the lines of “you both have similar mannerisms” or “you have similar eyes and smiles.”  It is clear that those comments are acknowledgements of the fact that you are a perfect pairing for a marriage, and are made to be with one another.  The affection and respect you hold for each other can be seen instantly.  Thank you very much for sharing your day with us!  Jonathan & Leslie

Sarah Furth’s Bat Mitzvah

October 7, 2011 by Jonathan Koslen | Leave a comment

What an amazing group of people the Furth family brought together for Sarah’s Bat mitzvah! H2H was flown in from LA to the Signature of Solon and they transformed the room into a complete dance party! The only time any one sat down was to rub their feet from dancing so hard!! Including my assistant photographer and myself! We had so much fun with everyone there! Thanks for having us! Heather and Lauren
