I’ve written and rewritten the intro to this wedding I don’t know how many times. I just can’t seem to find the right words for this amazing wedding that I was honored to photograph last month between the lovely LeeAnn and her husband Bobby. Thankfully I am a better photographer than a writer so instead of telling you about how lovely this couple is, how ADORABLE their son is or just how much love was in that church for this family I’m just going to put the photos here and let you see just how amazing this wedding was.

Bouquet: Crystal Blooms Bouquets & Accessories
Church: Cuyahoga Valley Church
Reception: Glenwillow Grille
LeeAnn’s bouquet was a GORGEOUS creation from Crystal Blooms made up of jewelry and broaches that were her grandmother’s and her Moms (their pictures are behind the bouquet). It was so beautiful and I love that it was made locally!
LeeAnn was pretty calm and relaxed while getting ready for the wedding. Roman kept popping in throughout and he was her biggest cheerleader telling her how beautiful she was. He was right too – she looked absolutely amazing!
Before the ceremony began a video played of LeeAnn and Bobby talking about how they met and fell in love. Everyone was in tears before she even walked down the aisle! However, when she swept into the room, everyone gasped and Bobby was blown away.
Bobby’s father proudly walked LeeAnn down the aisle and as you can see, everyone was full of emotions.
This made me smile!
See? Even THEY were full of happy tears.
I can’t look at this image without tearing up. Seriously.
Bobby had vows he wrote for his commitment to Roman as well as LeeAnn. When Roman came up for his part of the ceremony, Bobby got a bit choked up reading his vows to this precious kiddo. Roman wiped Bobby’s tears away and told him not to cry.
He then made sure to wave to his adoring fans before leaving the stage.
See why I adore Roman?
This year I’ve seen some really unique unity pieces that are a departure from the typical candle or sand vase. LeeAnn and Bobby had a unity cross which was really beautiful and unique. I love it!
Another unique element to their wedding ceremony was a prayer circle where they invited close loved ones up to pray over them.
The kiss!
Roman was quite excited to give his Mom hugs and kisses after the ceremony.
It was sadly that rare October day that reminds us that winter isn’t too far away so the grand plans we had for pictures downtown were dashed. Instead we made do with the gorgeous area around the church and quickly captured a few images before LeeAnn froze!
These two were made for one another. 🙂
The leaves really started changing that weekend and I’m glad we were able to get a few images outside to capture their beauty!
The wind was pretty brutal but it does make for a dramatic look with the veil.
I loved that for their reception they decided to rent out a restaurant (Glenwillow Grille) and have a casual reception. Instead of loud music, flashing lights and dancing there was long talks, a photo booth and delicious food. I kept overhearing people say how they wish all receptions were like this because they were able to talk with people and get to catch up with loved ones.
It was a perfect reception.
Thank you both again for trusting me with your wedding day! Congratulations!!!!
