Firestone Country Club Wedding with Taylor and Anthony

Taylor and Anthony’s wedding was such a magical day!  It was a beautiful July day with blue skies and lots of sun.  Very different from their engagement session the fall before.  But that’s why I always love when my couples are able to do their engagement session in a different season from their wedding, then they get lots of various looks from their photos.

If I had to choose a word for the day the word would be smiles.  There were SO MANY SMILES all day long.  While wedding days often run the gamut of emotions the prevailing one on their day was happiness.  So many huge grins and lots of smiles and laughs.  Every time Anthony snuck a look at Taylor he couldn’t help but break out into a massive grin.  Same went for Taylor looking at Anthony.

Thank you both so much for trusting me with your beautiful day!  It was wonderful working with you both.

While everyone stayed in with the party, Taylor and Anthony snuck out and were announced.  They went straight into their first dance.

Taylor’s Dad welcomed everyone and the toasts were done before dinner.

After dinner instead of Taylor and Anthony each dancing with a parent they embraced a tradition that started with Taylor’s parents.  They each danced with Taylor’s parents, then her parents danced with each other while Anthony’s parents came out and they danced with them.  Then their siblings and so forth.  I really loved this spin on the traditional parent dance!
