*Captured on 35mm and digital. Pauline and Donny's wedding at the Old Courthouse in Cleveland, Ohio was a rainy spring celebration that didn't let the weather slow anything down. With the historic architecture surrounding them and rain coming down outside, the day felt both timeless and completely alive.

There was something especially beautiful about the contrast between the grandeur of the courthouse and the warmth of the people gathered inside. Their Jewish wedding was filled with tradition, laughter, and the kind of energy that comes from being surrounded by so many people who genuinely love you. The rain meant we had to embrace the unexpected, but rather than working around it, we simply made it part of the day.

Between portraits beneath the courthouse arches, quiet moments together, and the celebration that followed, the day never felt overly planned or precious. There was movement, emotion, and plenty of joy. The rain kept falling outside, but inside, everything felt warm and full.

Pauline and Donny's wedding was a reminder that the best days don't have to unfold exactly as imagined. Sometimes the rain becomes part of the story. Sometimes you just grab an umbrella, keep moving, and let the day happen around you. An sometimes, surrounded by the people you love in a place with as much history as the Old Courthouse, that's more than enough.
