A Whimsical and Romantic 78th Street Studios Wedding in Cleveland Ohio: Where Love and Art Collide!

Hello lovers! Get ready to dive into the freaking GORGEOUS and absolutely fun day that we had the honor to photograph for Jenna and Kory. In this blog you’ll find Jenna and Kory’s wedding at the oh-so-cool 78th Street Studios in Cleveland, Ohio. This place had it all – whimsy, romance, and a serious dose of artistic vibes. From dreamy natural light to heartwarming moments, let’s take a walk through the highlights of their special day.

Highlight #1- It’s all in the Details – Getting Ready moments at Suite 226 Photography Studio [located inside of 78th Street Studios]

Jenna and Kory made their morning easy-breezy by renting out a photography studio just one floor up from their ceremony. Studio was filled with natural light, giving us all that dreamy goodness for detail photos, & had plenty of space to round up our bridal party for some great candids & fun group photos.

The Dream Team Wedding Vendors that made Jenna and her bridesmaids look like absolute queens

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the incredible hair team and makeup team that worked their magic during Jenna’s getting ready process. They transformed her into an absolute goddess, ensuring she looked and felt like a classy, elegant, and timeless queen. Every curl, every stroke of makeup was on point, making Jenna and all her gals radiate with confidence and beauty.

Kirsten, owner of Beauty by Kirsten Erika of was on makeup. And Aubri, owner of Hair By Aubri was on hair styling. Clearly you can tell Jenna was THRILLED with her end results just by looking at her adorable smile in the photos below.

( I would also like to personally add that I freaking LOVE these ladies. Both Kirsten & Aubri are best friends of mine, and I refer them to my couples all the time! When Jenna mentioned they were a part of the day, I did a happy dance just knowing our morning would be spent together – female entrepreneur besties working side by side. )

When it comes to getting ready details, I meticulously create my layouts and vision using the bridal essentials. My personal favorite is to incorporate the veil (pictured above) using backlighting & flowy motion.

Jenna and Kory’s vision for their photography definitely had me channeling all my romantic vibes, and city-aesthetic creativity. From the dreamy lighting & elegant archiceture of the Cleveland Flats, to the industrial elegance of the 78th Street Studios venue, my creative soul was thriving.
