On Sunday, May 25th, 2025, we had the absolute joy of capturing the wedding day of Janisse Cruz and Victor — a couple whose love and warmth filled every moment of this unforgettable celebration. From the intimate preparations at their homes to the lively reception, Cuff Link Media was honored to be there to document their special day in every detail.
Getting Ready:
The morning started with Janisse getting ready in the comfort of her Westlake home. Surrounded by loved ones, she prepared for the day with joyful anticipation. Our photographers captured delicate detail shots — from her stunning wedding dress and sparkling accessories to the heartfelt moments as she read letters and shared laughs with her bridesmaids. At the same time, Victor was getting ready in Cleveland, sharing tender moments with family and close friends. His preparation included the careful details of tying his tie and putting on his jacket, all captured to tell the full story of the day’s beginning. We also took heartfelt interviews with both Janisse and Victor during their preparations, adding a beautiful personal layer to their wedding film.
Ceremony:
The ceremony took place at the Iglesia Adventista Ebenezer Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cleveland. The space was filled with emotion and tradition, making it the perfect setting for Janisse and Victor to exchange their vows and start their new life together. We documented every special moment — the loving glances, the joyful smiles, and the touching rituals, including a rose ceremony that symbolized their union. Their bubble exit was a whimsical and joyful way to celebrate, sending them off surrounded by sparkling bubbles and well wishes from their guests.
Family & Group Photos:
Immediately following the ceremony, the couple gathered with their families and wedding party for portraits. These photos captured the tight-knit bonds and the happy smiles of everyone involved. We photographed large and small groups, including bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers, parents, siblings, grandparents, and cousins. The genuine love and excitement radiated in every image, showcasing how deeply Janisse and Victor are loved by their families and friends.
Couple Portraits:
For their couple portraits, Janisse and Victor chose two beautiful and meaningful locations. First, we headed to the Strongsville Gazebo — a charming spot perfect for capturing romantic and timeless photos amid lush greenery and soft natural light. Afterward, we made our way to Mitchell’s Ice Cream shop, where the couple enjoyed some delicious ice cream together. This sweet ending added a playful and candid element to their portraits, perfectly capturing their fun-loving personalities and the joy of their day. The light-hearted moments here brought a relaxed and authentic vibe that truly made their photos stand out.
Reception:
The evening celebration took place at Via Roma in North Royalton, a stunning venue that provided the perfect backdrop for dinner, dancing, and heartfelt toasts. The reception started with cocktail hour, where guests mingled and celebrated the newlyweds. Soon after, the bridal party was introduced, and the night continued with heartfelt speeches from family and friends, delicious dinner service, and special dances, including the couple’s first dance, and touching family dances. The atmosphere was full of laughter and joy, with games and dancing keeping the celebration lively late into the evening. The bouquet toss and dessert station added classic and fun moments to this unforgettable night.
