Mary and Patrick were surrounded by close friends and family as they exchanged vows at one of the loveliest ceremony locations we've had the opportunity to photograph. They opted to see each other before the ceremony which allowed us to take full advantage of the beautiful grounds at Stan Hywet Gardens in Akron, Ohio (one of the most helpful, organized staff we've worked with). Patrick's reaction is exactly why we love first-looks -- it's such a sweet time for the bride and groom to share, to have a moment alone and really relish in the day. Such a classy couple -- and how adorable is that flower girl?! Thank you for inviting us to celebrate with you, Mary and Patrick!
Katie + Brad's Tennessee Wedding
Katie & Brad were married under a canopy of trees, surrounded by friends and family on her parent's beautiful equestrian farm in East Tennessee -- such a dreamy setting! Despite the heat and even losing all electricity just hours before the ceremony, the two remained calm, cool and collected, determined to enjoy one another and their big day regardless of what might happen. (Power came back on just in time!) They are two of the kindest souls I have encountered and Ben and I were honored to capture their love. Thank you for inviting us to celebrate with you, Katie and Brad!
Heather + Daniel's Tennessee Wedding
Heather & Daniel's love runs so deep. Their excitement leading up to and on their wedding day was contagious and their adoration for one another so evident. Heather is dancer and thus so graceful and lovely - Daniel so obviously enamored with his bride - the two were just stunning to photograph. They opted for a first look before the ceremony, giving Daniel plenty of extra time to take in his gorgeous bride, and me lots of good juicy photos. Their reception was held at the beautiful Heritage House in Chattanooga, filled with family and friends and good dancing. Thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you, Mr. & Mrs. K!
