Baileigh and Nick were married in a small ceremony in her parents’ backyard last summer before Nick headed back for Army duties, but they threw a big vow renewal and celebration earlier this month in an outdoor ceremony at The Estate at New Albany. This time, the fun-loving couple was surrounded by all their family and friends! It was an absolutely gorgeous overcast day.

The first blog post of 2017 is here! Kyrstin and Joe are officially newlyweds! Do you remember them? I loved shooting their engagement photos at Everal Barn and in Uptown Westerville! I loved getting to know these two over the past year. After being set up on a blind date, it wasn't long before these two knew they would spend forever together. Joe proposed in the midst of a snowball fight - so romantic!!
Read moreChelsey + Matt | Married | Cheers Chalet Wedding + Reception | Lancaster, Ohio
Back to blogging (at least for a minute)! I met Chelsey and Matt only a week or so before their wedding day and I loved hearing all the details they had planned! They were planning an outdoor ceremony with unique spins on the traditional wedding day.
These two had such an amazing day. I love September weddings. The colors Chelsey chose were so beautiful and her dress was to die for! When she was feeling a little anxious about the day, the only person to calm her was her soon-to-be husband, Matt. The world surrounded them on this day.
Chelsey and Matt were married by a shaman. I had never experienced a ceremony like this! There were so many traditional aspects to the day, but these two made it completely their own by incorporating their unique spirituality. The day even ended with a drum circle! It was so fun to see the Native American touches that were added. The dream catchers surrounding the reception were all so beautiful!
My favorite parts of this day (besides the drum circle!) were actually the speeches their friends gave about their love story. Chelsey and Matt seemed to have found each other at just the right time in their lives. And my absolute favorite moment was with Matt and Chelsey's daughter. These two had such a special connection. I loved seeing this family become complete.
Here are some of my favorites from my final wedding of 2016! Congratulations, Matt + Chelsey!
Brandi + Michael | Married | WatersEdge, Hilliard Ohio | Petal Pink and Gray Wedding
What a beautiful wedding! This was my first time shooting at WatersEdge in Hilliard and it was so pretty! Both the wedding and the reception were here! The sunset was absolutely incredible! Brandi walked in and even before she put her dress on, she was stunning! Brandi looooves Disney and incorporated little pieces of that love into the wedding day! Perhaps without realizing it, I think Brandi could have been her own Disney princess!! Seriously, gorgeous and her dress just added to the perfection! Michael looked so spiffy as well and because I've known him for so long, it was so surreal seeing him all dressed up on his wedding day. The white kicks were my favorite! Watching him watch his beautiful bride walk down the aisle melted my heart. Also, let's be real, she wasn't just a bride, she seriously had princess status! Michael's brother-in-law officiated the ceremony, which made it extra special. I couldn't wait to get to the reception because I knew this was going to be a fun celebration! The reception hall was decorated so beautifully and I loved seeing their engagement photos all around the fireplace! The first dances were so special, and my favorite was when Michael announced a first dance with each of his older sisters. What a guy! The joy on their faces totally had me crying. I was so happy to see Brandi and Michael enjoying their night surrounded by their family and friends! The night ended with a sparkler exit and a last dance. I hope your wedding day was everything you dreamed it would be, Brandi and Michael! And that your honeymoon in... DISNEY!!! was so much fun!
