I was so excited for this winter wedding, it was the first wedding I’ve gotten to do when there’s snow, or at least when there’s suppose to be snow! This has been such a strange/warm winter in North East Ohio and I am kind of missing the snow.
Caroline and Ryan decided to do a first look which I am starting to LOVE! It gives us a good amount of time to take bridal portraits and not have to rush to a reception, they can’t start the ceremony without the bride and groom! The first look was perfect and Ryan reacted like every bride hopes their groom does.
{Future Brides and Grooms- not sure about your timeline? Ask your photographer, they can recommend some different variations that will give you adequate amounts of time to capture great portraits}
We worked our way around the golf course capturing some great photos. Caroline was such a trooper, it was 30 degrees and she was rocking it in her wedding dress. Didn’t complain once about the cold, the only thing that would have made it better would have been snow.
After the first look we headed back to ceremony site which was about 25 minutes away. As I am driving back to the ceremony I noticed all of these cars covered in snow! By the time I got to the church it was snowing SO hard and everything was covered with the perfect amount of snow. I looked around the church for the perfect spot for some photos and found the perfect trees for some quick pictures. These may be my favorite pictures from this wedding, AND Caroline got her snow!
The reception was at Wicked Woods Golf Course and it was the perfect location for a winter wedding. It was rustic and had this beautiful fireplace that was decorated perfectly for Christmas. There where gingerbread cookies, a hot chocolate bar, and lots of other delicious Christmas treats. To top it all off, towards the end of the night we got to watch fireworks. It was such a great day!
Caroline and Ryan- Congratulations! And thank you for having me be apart of your day<3
