Marlington Horticulture Garden Wedding with Dena and Sam

Two years before I photographed my husband’s best friend’s wedding at the Marlington Horticulture Gardens so it was lovely to be invited back to document Heidi’s sister’s wedding at the same location!  It’s a pretty little gem in Alliance and it’s a perfect spot for a small intimate wedding.  Dena borrowed her wedding gown from a coworker which I found super sweet and like her sister, opted to change into a more comfortable summer dress during the dinner so it was easier to get around the gardens.

Again, I was charmed by how lovely this family decorated the space.  The hoops with the prisms was so neat – the sun hit them every now and again and cast rainbows throughout the tent. There was just so much love and happiness there was for these two.  Luckily this time we were able to avoid any rain and it was a perfect summer day to say I Do!

Penitentiary Glen Reservation Maternity Session

Penitentiary Glen Maternity Session

I don’t often get to photograph maternity sessions, mostly because I’m just too busy with weddings to market other areas of portrait work.  Most of my maternity clients are beloved past clients who hire me to continue documenting their family as it grows (which I LOVE).  In 2021 I was able to meet back up with Jacquie and Chris on Father’s Day for their maternity session.  I LOVE when the Dads are involved because they’re part of it!  I hadn’t been to Penitentiary Glen in eons and it was such a pretty BUT HOT day to visit.

PS: Isn’t Jacquie’s orange dress AMAZING??

Cleveland Hyatt Regency Arcade Wedding with Jenna and Wesley

Summer wedding in Cleveland At Hyatt

Oh goodness, I don’t know where to begin with this wedding because I loved it SO much.  The lovely wildflower theme was just so perfect and well drawn through everything, even to the bridesmaids perfectly coordinated gowns that weren’t matching.  I even bought a hair scrunchie with a pattern close to the floral bridemaids dresses bc I loved it so! The sw

However, the real stars of this wedding were Jenna and Wesley.  They were the perfect blend of fun and romantic with each other.  We had SO much fun during their wedding photos!  Me and Lindsey kept cracking up when taking their photos on East 4th Street.  Sometimes when you get larger bridal parties it can get a bit wild but this group was just ALL fun.

It was such a joy to relive this day and I hope you enjoy viewing it!
