A Rooftop Wedding at Ariel International Center: A Cleveland Celebration

Kaitlynn and Zach’s wedding day at the Ariel International Center was a dream come true for any Cleveland wedding photographer.

Kaitlynn and Zach stood on the rooftop of Ariel International Center, the city of Cleveland stretching out below them, the wind in their hair and the sun sinking low. It was a good day to promise forever. The view of the skyline, the lake, and the glowing light of the evening made the moment something you couldn’t forget.

We started in the quiet of my studio. Kaitlynn sat in the light, her makeup by Sarah Helena from Roots Salon and Wellness Spa, and her hair by Ashley Peyko, looking perfect. Her dress, a simple, elegant gown from Augusta Jones, moved like water with every step she took. Zach, standing tall in his custom suit from Balani Custom Suits Chicago, looked at her the way a man does when he knows he’s found his partner for life.

We spent time capturing their portraits in the studio. The light was soft, and the moments were quiet. Then, we headed downtown—past the buildings, the streets, and to the Cleveland Public Library and the Fountain of Eternal Life. There, the city gave us everything. The fountain roared, the streets buzzed, and their bridal party laughed and celebrated beside them. The contrast was perfect, the elegance of the couple against the pulse of the city.

The ceremony was on the rooftop, with Cleveland all around. The sun fell, turning the sky gold, and it felt like the world stopped for a moment. The city, the lake, and their friends and family stood witness. It was the kind of ceremony you don’t forget.

As night came, the reception began. The rooftop glowed with lights, and Coyne Catering fed the guests, keeping them happy. Vybe Entertainment brought the music, and the dance floor was alive. The city was all around them, and they danced like the night was made just for them.

It was a day of love and a city that showed its best. From the calm of the studio to the buzz of downtown, from the rooftop ceremony to the rooftop dancing, Kaitlynn and Zach’s wedding was everything a couple could want. The city gave them its skyline, its light, and its heart. And they gave each other everything.
