Julie & Andrew Wedding | St. Paul Catholic Church – Salem, Ohio | Fellows Riverside Gardens | Mr. Anthony’s Banquet Center | Youngstown, Ohio Wedding Photographers

Julie & Andrew are one of those couples you really, really want to hang out with. They’re two of the most genuinely kind people we’ve ever known. They take interest in others & make everyone feel welcome & comfortable around them. They’re absolutely perfect together. Julie’s sister said in her toast to the couple that their love is what fairytales, storybooks, and romantic movies are made of. Anyone who is around them for any period of time is bound to see why- they radiate joy when they’re with one another. Both Julie’s family & Andrew’s family agree that they’ve never seen Julie or Andrew as happy as they are when they’re with each other. And that’s why photographing their wedding day was so wonderful.
I met Julie & her bridesmaids at Profiles Salon in Boardman. Not only is Julie a gorgeous girl, she’s also quick-witted & hilarious.
While I was with Julie, Josh was with Andrew & the groomsmen (four of them are his brothers) at his parents’ home.Their wedding day was so pretty.After the ceremony, we ventured to Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park for some bridal party photos & bride & groom portraits. Their bridal party was perfect- fun, nice, & great looking.I gush about Jenny at The Willows by Wehr all of the time, but I’m going to do it again because JUST LOOK AT THESE BOUQUETS! Such a cute story behind this photo- Julie’s parents got engaged in this very spot & had some wedding photos taken here so we snapped a few here, too. That veil, those roses, the way he’s holding her tight. . . *sigh*

It was special to return to the spots we took some of their engagement photos.
The back of her dress was to die for! She rocked it out. She was a beautiful mix of elegant, classy, and sexy on her wedding day.Jenny killed it with the centerpieces at Mr. Anthony’s, too.Katie Fabis made this pretty wedding cake.Cookie table swag:Julie & Andrew both have amazing examples of long lasting marriages in their parents. We had to include these cuties in the blog! They’re Abi & Brock & we photographed their wedding in 2013- doesn’t Abi look great with her little girl on the way?DJ Richie D kept everyone on the dance floor & having a great time.The gorgeous woman in the purple dress is Julie’s mother. . . her mother, folks! She definitely looks like she could be her sister!Photos like this one are often among my favorites of the wedding day- the bride & groom caught in a loving moment while they’re surrounded by their closest family & friends. They’re so in love & happy that even when they’re surrounded by commotion they can’t take their eyes off each other.
Julie & Andrew, we can’t thank you two enough for allowing us to be part of the best day of your lives (so far). We are so happy for you both! You deserve all of the happiness in the world. Congrats!
