2013 Year-in-Review | Tear-Jerker Wedding Day Photos | Northeast Ohio & Destination Wedding Photographers

I don’t know too many people who have never cried at a wedding. There are so many emotional moments.  Here are some tearjerkers from the weddings we photographed in 2013. Grab a box of tissues & read through.

This was a very emotional father-daughter dance. The bride’s daddy was saying goodbye to his oldest daughter . . . the first one to get married.
