An Elegant Summer Wedding
This elegant summer wedding was just what I need after taking most of July off. We had a few shoots here and there but it was nice to slow down for a few weeks and wrap up some loose ends at home and just take some time to relax!
This wedding was quite the drive for me all the way down in Dover, OH but it was SO worth it and beautiful! The ceremony and reception where in the same room just split but a divider. It had beautiful floor to ceiling windows letting in amazing natural light (MY FAV!). After the ceremony the staff took down the dividers and set up for the reception. Everything was beautiful and I loved the white flowers on all the tables. It looks so clean and classic and with the table set up it looked like something out of a magazine.
Casey and Ana
There is always something special watching the groom see his bride for the first time. Wether it be during a first look or as she’s walking down this grand staircase it always puts a tear in my eye, and Casey was no exception. His smile was from ear to ear and he just kept mouthing WOW and it was the sweetest thing, every bride deserves a reaction like that. I’m sure waiting until the officiant announced that Casey could kiss his bride was the longest 15 minutes of his life. I really don’t think after that he stopped kissing Ana all night.
The portrait location at the hotel where just perfect and had such a big variety of options. I also got to photograph my first horse and buggy with Casey and Ana and it was so much fun and they are some of my favorite portraits! Ana loves animals and I’m fairly certain she could have spent all night with Toby the horse.
Closing Thoughts
This elegant summer wedding makes me SO excited for the rest of the season. While I don’t want to wish the rest of summer away, because it’s like it just got warm out, I am ready for the fall and what that season will bring.
