Whitehall Columbia and Holiday Inn Independence Wedding with Reanna and Michael

I had so much fun documenting Reanna and Michael’s wedding day!  They started their day off with a first look in the outdoor ceremony space at Whitehall Columbia. They opted to do their ceremony indoors since it was August and hot but I’m glad they still did their first look outside.

As you can see from the ceremony photos, a first look doesn’t mean there won’t be emotions during the ceremony and there were plenty during theirs! Their kiddos were all so excited to be a part of the day and added so much love to the day.

After their ceremony we headed over to Olmsted Falls and down to David Fortier River Park for photos alongside the waterfalls and covered bridge. Luckily the rain stayed away and we were able to get all of their photos done pretty quickly as it wasn’t too busy and the ladies were willing to go down to the waterfall area!

Their reception was at the Holiday Inn in Independence right off of I-77 and it was the first time I’d been there. It’s HUGE!!! I loved all the kids doing their introductions with their own dances (and push ups) which was followed by a group shot by the adults in the bridal party.

After dinner all the special dances took place and I loved that Reanna and Michael took time to dance with their parents and their kiddos! It was so sweet. I apparently was feeling the black and white for this set (don’t worry they got color options alongside their black and whites!).

It was just such a great day with a lovely couple! Many congratulations to you both!

Barn on Enchanted Acres Wedding with Alicia and Cory

August wedding at Barn on Enchanted Acres

Alicia and Cory had such a beautiful wedding at The Barn on Enchanted Acres in Dennison Ohio! While there was rain on their wedding day it managed to stop RIGHT before the ceremony so everything could go as planned. The ceremony was beautiful – I really love all the ceremony spaces at Enchanted Acres, they are so rustic and beautiful. Maybe it’s the Twilight lover in me? I just love a woods-y ceremony feel!

Anyway – their daughter was the CUTEST flower girl and such a charmer through the whole day. I loved the beautiful pink decor throughout the reception, it was so pretty. And the florals?!? GAH! Siefers Flower Mill always does such a great job!!

Congratulations to you both!

Nickajack Farms Wedding with Madison and Jeremy

Madison and Jeremy had such a beautiful wedding day at Nickajack Farms! Their August wedding was thankfully not humid at all and it was so sunny and lovely out! I’m so glad it was because the outdoor ceremony space for weddings at Nickajack Farms is so pretty and man did Cathy Cowgill Flowers do a fantastic job with the floral display on it!!

Back to Madison and Jeremy though – they were so lovely to work with. I also had a great time with their bridal parties who were easy going. We didn’t have a ton of time for portraits but everyone went along with me as I tried to make sure we got everything in we could in the time we had. I’m glad that at the end of the night Madison and Jeremy opted for a few more photos before I left though! I always feel guilty when there’s a time crunch even if there’s nothing I can do about it (or did to cause it!).

Also – I just wanted to shout out how much I enjoyed the groom and groomsman’s looks! It was such a great move for an outdoor wedding in August to have the men just in vests with rolled shirtsleeves!

Congrats to you both!
