Anna & Andrew Wedding | Holy Family Parish – Poland, Ohio | Butler Institute of American Art | Fellows Riverside Gardens | Mr. Anthony’s Banquet Center | Youngstown, Ohio Wedding Photographers

It is definitely bittersweet to type this blog post because this is our last wedding of 2015. We went out of our 2015 wedding season with the SWEETEST couple! Anna & Andrew are high school sweethearts (both Poland Bulldogs) & their parents’ homes are just minutes apart. They stood by one another through those naïve and awkward phases that everyone goes through in adolescence and came out on the other side to tell about it. Now they’re husband and wife. Anna is outgoing, bubbly, fun, and determined. Andrew is the quieter of the two & loves to spoil Anna every chance he gets. They work so well together & we’re excited to see everything that marriage holds in store for them. It’s exciting that we have a couple of months to rest, recuperate, recharge, and revamp little things about our wedding photography business, but weddings & hanging out with our brides & grooms is also something we miss during our off-season. We’re very happy we got to bookend our 2015 wedding season with these two because we felt welcomed & treated as friends throughout their entire wedding day. A huge thanks to their fun bridal party & their lovely families!
Anna & her bridesmaids got hair & makeup done for the wedding day at Visage Salon in Poland.Gorgeous & fun group!The bride’s beautiful Something Blue:While I was with the ladies, Josh was with Andrew & the guys at Andrew’s parents’ home.Her personality wins. She is so much fun. She looks this beautiful without even trying. This was a candid moment & totally unposed.This is when Andrew saw his stunning bride walking toward him down the aisle. Their wedding ceremony was personal & full of smiles.This is stinkin’ adorable! That giddy moment just after their first kiss. It was a little chilly, but everyone braved the elements for a few outdoor photos. The golden sun was amazing & everyone looked so snazzy. They were also very happy because Anna & Andrew treated them very well; they bribed them to smile pretty for their photos with Handel’s ice cream & Chick fil A. What an awesome bride & groom!
That dress, though! She rocked it. It’s from Jacqueline’s Bridal.We also stopped by Fellows Riverside Gardens for a few photos. C&C Ribbon was the florist. I loved the various styles of bridesmaid dresses in the same hue. And that little flower girl? She was darling all day long. Such a sweetheart. . . and she loved the camera!We let the bridal party head back to the limo bus so Anna & Andrew could enjoy a few moments alone as husband and wife. The bridal party gladly went back to the warmth of the limo & Anna & Andrew snuggled close.That golden glow is so pretty & warm! And their smiles are the best.This photo is so cozy to me. You can almost see those seven years of togetherness in the way they hold one another.Those shoes peeking out!Mr. Anthony’s was looking romantic for the occasion.And, of course, the cookie table! The cake was from Bake Me Treats in Poland.Andrew & his mom were so sweet.Anna & her dad were high energy.And the first dance as Mr. & Mrs.! They & all of their guests danced to Ovation Band all night long!It was definitely a great time & the crowd was going strong all night.Anna’s grandpa is the cutest.Wow, what a great wedding day!
