This is our Why...

There are many things that take us (Mike and Julie) back to this day.

Our thorough wedding coverage will let you relive all of YOUR amazing moments, too.

This was the most emotional wedding of the year.

Everyone, especially the bride and her parents, knew and appreciated the fact that we were capturing once-in-a-lifetime memories. Memories of not just a wedding, but of togetherness that they don't often have as the bride's parents live overseas.

Each photo we took was followed with several sincere thank yous and a nod.

The bride's parents did not speak any English. Their interpreter joined them at the wedding and helped with the father-of-the-bride toast. Language was no barrier for this celebration.

These two families were excited and genuinely ready to blend.

A covert personal detail that we captured was an extra piece of material from the mother-of-the-bride's dress had been sewn into the inside of father-of-the-groom's suit jacket.

The unforgettable Tea Ceremony was rich with tradition and unspoken meaning.

The bride's dad (pictured far left) is an avid laugher. He was ready for and created many "HAHA" moments. He reveled in this one.

Congrats again Coco and Evan. Your wedding/family is the epitome of why we do what we do.

Who We Are

Michael Rhodes

I absolutely love what I do: photographing weddings, engagements, senior pics, headshots, and tintypes.

Interesting facts: I started my journey with the wetplate (tintype) process about 20 years ago by making cases for my former business, Modern Day Antique. Having my own tintype made sparked my interest to learn the craft of tintype photography. I transitioned from making cases to taking tintypes about 9 years ago. I am one of the few tintype photographers who have a traveling dark room to work events outside of the studio. As a Civil War reenactor, I portray a camp photographer.

I love the history of photography and sharing it with others.

Julie DiFilippo

I love photographing people in their favorite places and enjoy discovering Northeast Ohio's hidden gems with my clients. I love capturing family bonds, cheeky kids, and multi-generations.

At weddings, I look to capture those little, pure, candid moments that clients and their loved ones will cherish for years to come.

Interesting facts: My Godson and nephew, Vince and James, are my biggest loves. I have a degree in Music Therapy. I taught ballroom dancing for 18 years.
