Lake Anna Wedding with Megan and Eric

Lake Anna Gazebo Wedding in Barberton Ohio

It had been a LONG time since I’d been to Lake Anna for a wedding at their gazebo but I was delighted to return with Megan and Eric!  One of the downsides to using the gazebo for a wedding ceremony is that there really isn’t any place to get ready on site but Megan’s Mom came in with a brilliant idea – they had a small white pop up tent that they put up for Megan to get changed in!!  SUCH a smart move!  It also then gave her a space to wait for her Dad to meet her before walking her down the aisle so they didn’t have to worry about Eric accidentally seeing her before he was meant to.

It was such a beautiful Friday evening on the lake and even the squirrels stopped to watch the ceremony!

After the wedding everyone walked around the corner to Venice Hall for the reception and it was such a perfect spot for a smaller wedding group to celebrate!  Everyone raved about the dinner at the venue and the kids were all about the fun photo booth Megan set up.  The group danced the night away after the formalities were over.

Bella Amore on Enchanted Acres Wedding with Precious and Lloyd

Summer wedding at Bella Amore on Enchanted Acres in Dennison Ohio

This wedding will definitely be remembered as one of the hottest wedding days of my career.  Not only because it was ACTUALLY hot (real feel was over 100ºF!) but the couple was hot, the bridal party was fire and there then was ACTUAL FIRE BREATHERS as entertainment!  It was such a fun wedding day that will always stand out in my memory for being a bit outside the norm in all the best ways.

Precious and Lloyd have such a fun and quirky relationship that was such a joy to document.  They are silly and loving with each other and the laughs were constant.  They ran with the excessive heat and while I did everything in my power to make their time outside for photos minimal and efficient it was still one of those brutal summer days and they just smiled through it.

Their introduction song was the theme from Super Mario Brothers and they even did the motions like jumping to hit a coin block and I LOVED it.

This was my first visit to Enchanted Acres in Dennison for a wedding but not my last thankfully!  What a beautiful place!

Ceremony & Reception: Bella Amore on Enchanted Acres / Bridal Gown: Allure Bridal via Radiant Bride / Bridesmaids Gowns: Bella Bridesmaids / Cake: Sugarfuse / DJ: Black Tie Entertainment / Hair: Salon Destiny / Makeup: Refeyeance / Menswear: Men’s Wearhouse /

Brookside Farm Wedding with Crystal and Robert

Summer wedding at Brookside Farm in Lousiville Ohio

On a summery August day Crystal and Robert said I Do at the always beautiful Brookside Farm.  These two had a few bumps along the road of wedding planning – one being that Crystal’s original dress wasn’t going to be in on time so at the last minute she had to scramble to get a dress at the last minute!  Then a few days before the wedding her original dress DID come in so she ended up being a two dress bride!

The day of the wedding was a hot one and that caused another memorable part of the day’s story: one of the groomsman sadly passed out cold during the ceremony.  Luckily Crystal and Robert thought ahead about the weather the day of their wedding and had a cooler stocked with ice cold water at the door to the barn where the ceremony was held so I RAN to it and grabbed some water for him.  After some water and time he was just fine thankfully!  It certainly scared us all for a few minutes though.  This is why I’m always pushing water the day of a wedding – the heat can sneak up on you!

Despite it all though these two lovebirds had a magical day!  There was SO much love for these two and their families were just the sweetest.  We were also able to sneak away during the reception to get some photos at sunset in the covered bridge!  I was delighted to finally make some images there!
