What a busy summer it has been so far! I have another wedding today but I’m trying to get caught up on blog posts before I leave for my trips (Port Clinton, OH for the next couple days and then I’ll be heading to Louisiana at the end of the week). Hope everyone’s 4th of July was fantastic!
Aaron + Katlyn got married on June 21st in the picturesque Kirtland, Ohio. It is absolutely beautiful there and I really want to go back in my “off” time and just shoot for fun there. I have NEVER seen so many churches in my life!! Religion is a big deal here (the city was the headquarters for the Church of the Latter-Day Saints) and it is still a big destination for Mormans (I nearly got hit on the way to the wedding by a van-bus from Utah!!!). It is just the neatest city and I ADORE all the historic buildings.
They got married at Aaron’s father’s church and the service was beautiful! It is always that much more special when the person marrying you is a relation or friend. This is my third wedding where a father has married the couple and they’ve all been wonderfully special.
As with almost every day in June, it was raining off and on but we got super lucky and were able to get some pictures outside with the bridal party after the ceremony. Aaron and Katlyn had searched the area for a beautiful place for pictures that didn’t cost an arm and a leg and we ended up at the local library which was perfect! We didn’t have a lot of time but we were able to work with what we had and it was perfect!
Enjoy their pictures!
When I saw this happen, I couldn’t help but take a picture. When the congregation was asked to bow their heads and pray, this ring bearer just flopped his head down on his knee with an exasperated sigh. He was seated during the service to lessen the chance of him getting antsy but as most people know, after 5 minutes the kids are always pretty much done. It was such a perfect moment of kids being kids.
It’s not easy to get a bridal party this large in a group picture but I think it worked… and Katlyn got the blue skies she was hoping for!
Thank you both for having me be a part of your beautiful day!
