Paula & Jamey Wedding | Trinity United Methodist Church | Davis Center | Mill Creek Park | Youngstown, OH Wedding Photography

An elegantly sophisticated wedding with numerous personal touches is how I describe Paula’s & Jamey’s wedding. It was a day filled with such sincere emotion between the bride and groom. I met Paula at Casal’s De Spa & Salon. She is gorgeous. I couldn’t believe she wasn’t wearing make-up because her skin is flawless.

She got me teary eyed when she was talking about Jamey and how blessed she felt to be marrying him. She even read me a letter that Jamey had written to her and hidden for her to find on their wedding day morning. It was beautiful.

Youngstown, OH Wedding PhotographyJamey’s Facebook status on the morning of their wedding day describes this moment perfectly:
“I can’t wait to see the silhouette of my beautiful fiancée behind stained glass doors as she prepares to walk towards me. A short walk that will lead us down a path of faithfulness, support, love and happiness! I cannot wait to see you Paula!!! I’m the luckiest guy in the world!”

Youngstown, OH Wedding PhotographyBecause of the layout of the church, we could not get very close to the stage without completely disrupting the ceremony (which we, of course, would never do!) so we were infinitely glad we had our telefoto lens to capture the tears on the bride’s face during the vows.

Youngstown, OH Wedding PhotographyJamey proposed to Paula with a video he made for her so the couple wanted to share a video with their guests of their relationship and how they reached the wonderful point of marriage. They exchanged the glance caught in the bottom left photo during that video. 🙂

Jamey’s facial expressions during the cake cutting were comical.
