Backyard Wedding with Jessi and Andy

Backyard Wedding in Ohio

One of the things that will always stand out to me about my brides in 2020 and 2021 was how much they were wiling to go with the flow and change things up, even at the last minute, to keep everyone safe.  Jessi and Andy were always planning to say I Do outdoors but they had originally planned an indoor intimate reception for their close family and friends afterwards.  Not long before their date though, things started not looking great again so they decided to host everything outside.

Since it IS Ohio, I kept an eye on the weather and just kept hoping for the best and thankfully while it was hot, it didn’t rain and it was a beautiful evening for a wedding.  The decorations were absolutely PERFECT for an outdoor wedding – the flowers were all from the backyard and garden.  Jessi’s bouquet of flowers is SO perfect!

There was SO much love and happiness for these two.  Their family all spoke during the ceremony and gave beautiful toasts to kick off the reception.  Even their sweet dog was part of the festivities.  I loved that they opted to walk down the aisle together, along with all the other couples that were a part of their lives.

It was a beautiful day with a beautiful couple!  While it may not have been the day they planned originally it ended up as perfect as it could be.

The Tanglewood Club Wedding with Kim and Chris

The Tanglewood Club Wedding in August in Ohio

Oh my gosh, I had SO much fun at Kim and Chris’s wedding at The Tanglewood Club!  From beginning to end I had a huge grin on my face.  These two lovebirds were just so fun and joyful and I still am in LOVE with Kim’s ensemble, that headpiece!!!!!!

Their ceremony was a bit different than where ceremonies normally take place at The Tanglewood Club.  They opted to have it in the full sun in the back of the club vs in the grove of trees and it was a pleasant change from what I’m used to there!  The ceremony was full of smiles and happy tears – Chris may have shed quite a few!

I also stan a girl who knows when to say when and she took her heels off midway through the photos.  After her feet were no longer in pain her smile lit everything up!  Then their reception was just an absolute BLAST where no one stopped dancing the whole night.

Ceremony & Reception: The Tanglewood Club / Bridal Gown: Galleria / Cake: Michael Angelo’s Bakery / DJ: Lo-Key Entertainment / Florist: Mayfield Floral / Menswear: American Commodore /

Firestone Country Club Wedding with Katie and Matt

Summer wedding at Firestone Country Club in Akron Ohio

What a fun day I had with Matt and Katie on their wedding day!  I had already knew I’d love them after having so much fun with them at their engagement session but their wedding day was even more fun.  These two had huge smiles all day long and I LOVE the way these two look at one another.

It was a warm day but luckily no storms came and ruined the photo time (which is always a worry in the summer).  We started the day out at Firestone Country Club where they got ready for the wedding, then headed off to Kent for their ceremony before heading back to Firestone to do photos and their reception.

This group didn’t stop until they had to leave and they exited with huge smiles to an aisle of sparkers outside the club.

Ceremony: Kent State University Newman Center / Reception: Firestone Country Club / Bridal Gown: Maggie Sottero via Abbott’s Bridal / Bridesmaids: David’s Bridal / Cake: West Side Bakery / DJ & Videographer: Selective Sound Entertainment / Florist: Oregon Corners Florist / Menswear: Men’s Wearhouse / Second Photographer: Lindsey Beckwith
