Annual Sausage and Horseradish Making Day!

A family tradition for more than 75 years! Enjoy the pictures and the fun!
Our whole family got together for the annual sausage and horseradish making day! The fun started at 6:30 a.m. and lasted well past 3:30 p.m. We made over 500 pounds of sausage!












After the sausage making was finished, family and friends tried to withstand the rigors (torture!) of making fresh horseradish! Only a few made it without crying!




Our friend Char (left) did the best!









Fenja didn't do so well in stirring the freshly ground horseradish!




Our son and daughter, brother Mike (even grandpa) had to cry!





Nik and Scott survived!
Yes...even I had a tear or two!




Nik brought over his Harley for a few rides around the block. Our son is posing with Greg on Nik's police bike!









Needless to say we had a lot of fun!

Celebrity Photographer right here in Cleveland!

As promised, here is just a sampling of Greg's wedding photography. Many famous people have found their way in front of Greg's camera including (above) baseball legend and Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda during a wedding of a prominent Cleveland-area family at the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel.





Greg prefers to shoot his brides against the window (most wouldn't dare) to add a more 3-D look. These beautiful brides are only a part of the 300+ weddings Greg has shot during his career. Another famous and funny client! That's comedian Frank Caliendo (above) who has appeared on David Letterman and Late Night with Jay Leno. Frank recently did commercials for Direct-TV impersonating George W. and John Madden. Greg was Frank's official wedding photographer!













Yes, of course! Greg has to get the groom's Harley in the picture!
















Greg loves scenic bridal images and will take the time to set-up the bride and groom for a "lifetime shot!"












Candid's are very important to the wedding album! Greg says they "add flavor!".


































Greg always strives for symmetry when shooting wedding groups or families. These group shots are examples of keeping everyone's height in harmony. Greg loves to photograph families! Call me if you would like to schedule Greg to come out to photograph your wedding or a family portrait. Also, see Greg's photography profile that was published by his camera club in the blog archive for January 2009.
