Who is Edric Morales anyways?

Hello and welcome! 
My name is Edric Morales, I am an artist residing in Cleveland, Ohio. I have spent life devoting myself towards the study of art. For many years I have used photography as my main resource to express my inner feelings, and study the many emotions that provokes the human spirit. More than a photographer, I see myself as a story teller. I write with light. Every single photograph tells a story of a specific moment in time. Think about all the times you have sat down with a shoe box full of old photos and so many memories come back in mind. You get to relive once again those wonderful moments that are blurred thru life.  That is why photography is so personal to me. I invite you to allow me to write a story of your special day.  I hope someday to become a Destination Wedding Photographer and shoot in different places of the world.

Oh, in case you are wondering, my favorite meal is Lasagna, and my favorite ice cream is Cookies n cream. Please Follow me on Facebook and become a fan.

Engagement Session at Chagrin Falls, OH

Well, what can I say, this engagement session with Mara and Moises was WOW, WOW, WOW!! Did I mention… WOW!! This couple was too hot and they sure knew how to love the camera. We had a great time this past July 4th at the beautiful town of Chagrin Falls. They’re getting married in Puerto Rico next year and unfortunately I’m booked the date that Mara mention. What are the odds, the one date in June 2011 that I have in the books! But nothing is set in stone yet, so far all they have is a date. I am so hoping that they change the date. A Puerto Rico wedding with this hot couple would be to awesome. Crossing my fingers :) I had a hard time selecting images to post so there’s a bunch.

Engagement Session in Mentor Ohio 6/20/2010

This engagement session with Tyrina and Ron was just too much fun! I know for a fact that they were really looking forward for this shoot. Ron would call me multiple time talking about it and how excited they are. That really makes me appreciate my job even more. Seeing what images could mean to a couple is priceless. We decided to do the shoot at sunrise. On my way there I was not being so good and I got pulled over for speeding. Now the honest truth is that I was trying to beat the sun. Ron and Tyrina actually suggested that we reschedule the session. I said ” No way!! We’ve been waiting too long for this day”. And the session went on to be an amazing set of images. There is one word that can describe this shoot….. Hotness!!

June 23, 2010 - 6:15 am Katie - too bad about the ticket, but amazing photos, nonetheless! the lighting is great [especially off the waves] and what a stunning couple!

June 23, 2010 - 3:45 pm Erin Lassahn - The basketball shots are so fun! Love the piggy back black and white shot!

June 23, 2010 - 4:01 pm Thomas Lester - They look very happy together. Great use of negative space in some of those shots! Great set.

June 23, 2010 - 5:36 pm Ron Large Sr - The engagement session truely captured the love I have for Tyrina. The slide show and pictures were even more than I imagined. The slide show fire background was awesome. Tyrina liked the song so much that she wants it played at our wedding. Edric has a true talent of finding a simple spot and making it something special. There were pictures taken that we didnt even know were being tooken. Edric captured our everyday life together and put it on film! The day started off bad ,when Edric called to tell me that he was pulled over for speeding He wasnt late I was just early. I honestly believe that I was more upset than he was. Hes a true proffesional. There were non stop laughs and fun the entire morning. Behind the camera not captured on film Edric went far behond the call of duty, for example the lake pictures. Edric was soaken wet from being in the lake with us. He even had a photo shoot emediately after ours. Tyrina and I are so grateful to have Edric as part of our wedding.

June 23, 2010 - 5:45 pm Edric Morales - Thanks Ron!! I'm glad to be part of your day! I cannot wait till next year.

June 24, 2010 - 5:03 am Alan Hutchison - What Ron said sums it all up - great work.

June 24, 2010 - 10:10 am Lara Eichhorn - I think the light looks great. I love the eighth one down, after the fire helmet shot. They look sweet there.

June 24, 2010 - 11:01 am Rhys - Um, YES! Love where she's rocking the fireman's jacket; her expression just kills me.

June 24, 2010 - 12:43 pm Edric Morales - Hey Lara, that's my favorite shot too :)

Engagement Session in Kent, OH

Had a great time with Kristy and Kevin down in Kent last weekend. It was actually Kristy’s last Sunday in Kent, she’s all finished with school and was heading back home with her fiance Kevin the very next day. So how appropriate to do an Engagement Photo Session in the area. Everything was new to me, so it was fun to explore new territories.

Lindsey & Steven Wedding

Well, what a way to kick of my 2010 wedding season!! Lindsey and Steven’s wedding was simply phenomenal. They met years ago working at a McDonalds in Middleburg Hts and the rest is history. These two fell in love and they proved their commitment on the 14th of May. I’m very proud of this set of images. Enjoy the following slideshow and the set of images I selected to be featured :)

I truly believe that no one else could have even come close to capturing it as great as you did. We already have great memories from our wedding day, but looking at these images for years to come will always help us to remember how great the day truly was! We cant wait to see everything else =)

May 20, 2010 - 8:36 pm Edric Morales - Thanks Lindsey!! It brings me joy to know you guys like em.

May 25, 2010 - 11:04 pm Beth Reeves - Stunning! Both bride and groom look amazing. Congrats to the couple and bravo once again, my friend!!

From her Eyes: Engagement Session

This was written by Elizabeth Reeves. The soon to be Bride with a heart of a super hero. It’s so interesting to read about the day thru their eyes. The images just make that much more sense. Here’s what she wrote:

“Cleveland, Ohio. Frigid, gusty winds; the meteorologist threatening snow. In the middle of April. Typical. Still, there was excitement dancing among the lamp posts and leaves. Our hero and his trusty sidekicks, Nikon and Holga, were on a mission: to capture the love between one Elizabeth Reeves and Christopher Kaboth. Mere clouds could not stop them.

Most girls dream of meeting their Prince Charming; I’ve always said I’d settle for no less than a superhero. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and mine was stolen by the most notorious of villains. Chris and I fell in love while swapping graphic novels, watching comic book movies, and sorting through our action figure collections. Like any normal couple, we have our disagreements. I’m a diehard DC girl, while he prefers MARVEL. He spends hours on XBox Live, whereas Mario’s my homeboy. Our friends call us the match made in dorkdom, and certainly neither of us thought our nerdiness would actually help in the quest for love. I definitely didn’t expect it to lead to the perfect wedding photographer.

I was already captivated by Edric’s work at my friend  April’s wedding. His excitement when he discovered that Chris and I attend comic conventions dressed as The Joker and Wonder Woman was second only to mine after accepting Chris’ proposal. We knew Edric was “The One” when he enthusiastically suggested that we do part of the engagement session in costume. Every couple wants their engagement photos to reflect their personalities; Edric wanted to shoot our true identities!

Hip yet historic, Ohio City was the perfect location for our more traditional photos. Beautiful Painted Ladies stand beside cozy bungalows. Artwork adorns planters that house trees which create a canopy across the cobbled streets. As the three of us wandered throughout the neighborhood, we stumbled onto W. 25th St, where the Cleveland Film Society resides. Little did Edric know, I was an intern there during my sophomore year of college! Showing Chris such a fun part of my past made our shoot even more intimate. Children played tag in the courtyard, joyfully shouting while my fiance and I laughed, kissed, and reflected.

If our session had ended here, it would have been a wonderful, albeit chilly, day. What we had planned next was (as the current linguistic meme goes) EPIC. With the help of the marvelous make-up artist  Jason Kelly, Chris and I transformed into our favorite comic book characters. Edric eagerly explained the story he’d conjured in his mind-madly in love with Wonder Woman, The Joker destroys Gotham to get her attention. The energy in the room rivaled Christmas and Halloween combined; everyone was freaking and geeking out as we drove to Cleveland’s more industrial landscapes.

Edric’s vision came to life right before our eyes. Each location looked like it came from those glossy pages that we love so much! The skeleton of the warehouse smelled like campfire and iron. Chris’ laugh bounced around the hollow structure. Getting into character was easy. Edric continued to narrate his story and give us great direction. When we moved down the road, passersby began to take notice of our unusual attire. You know your engagement shoot is unique when onlookers stop to snap a few pictures of their own!

Chris and I may not always be able to dress the part, but like The Joker and Wonder Woman, these images are timeless. We will show these to our children and grandchildren and they’ll understand not only our whimsy, but how two people can absolutely belong together. I’m thrilled Edric will also be part of our wedding. He’s become a good friend and Chris and I look forward to him documenting our future. ”

A Super Engagement Session

So I seriously had the most amazing shoot ever with Beth and Chris. This couple really knows how to be unique. We started the day walking around the streets of the Ohio city area near downtown Cleveland. The excitment they had really made the session such a pleasure. We even played around with my Holga camera! So much fun!

Beth and Chris are big time Comic Book fans and second part of the Engagement Session got really interesting. I had makeup artist Jason Kelly work his magic and boy did he delivered. I’m currently working on with the images to turn them into a comic book for a guest book at their wedding. How fun right:) Here’s a little taste.
