Frankie & Michael are beautiful together. I can think of no other way to describe the love that they share between one another & with their little boy Carmen. This past Saturday, they laughed, they teared up, they held one another close, and they celebrated their forever together with their family & friends in the most gorgeous way! There were a thousand tiny moments stitched together from that day to create what was the first day of their marriage, but one of my very favorite moments came during their first dance as they looked at one another & the rest of the room disappeared because they were so enthralled with each other. Then their son Carmen toddled over to them & asked to join them in their dance & the cuteness factor increased by a million. They are a stunning couple, but more than that they are generous & kind. Their friends all agree that Frankie & Michael would do anything for them & drop whatever they’re doing to be there. We’re so thankful we got to photograph the day & we truly hope that the photos will serve as a reminder of how much love they’ll always have in their home for the rest of their lives.
Brittany Koniowsky did the bride’s hair and Jacqueline Jones was the bride’s MUA. Stunning work! Frankie looked absolutely perfect!
I couldn’t get over these two. This flower girl & ring bearer duo melted me! He’s like, “Wow, look how beautiful she is.” . . .
“Maybe I’ll hold her hand. . . “
“Yes, this is fun!” Ahhh! So cute!
That lace! She got her gown at Jacqueline’s Bridal in Poland.
Josh was with Michael & the groomsmen hanging out as they got ready for the day.
This candid shot of Frankie is one of my favorites. Her smile says it all!
Such a handsome little man; he’s mama’s world.
Sweet Arrangements did a glorious job with the flowers!
Then it was time for the ceremony at Butler North Church in Youngstown. Carmen walked down the aisle like a boss. Poor Nadia was a bit unsure.
And then Michael saw his bride.
Breathtaking!
Yay! Married! There’s simply nothing like this feeling.
Wow! Frankie, you are a vision.
We popped over to the Butler Institute of American Art next door for a few bridal party & bride & groom portraits. This group was gorgeous & so much fun!
Frankie lights up when she’s with Michael. She’s always beautiful, but once she’s in his arms she glows!
After the Butler, we headed to Frankie’s parents’ home & I wish we could take credit for the idea behind this photo, but it was all Frankie. She said she had one request & it was a portrait with Michael on this couch. Ummm, they nailed it! They are all the fire emojis & we hope they print this one out huge & hang it on the wall of their home!
And this was Michael’s request. These guys were a hoot.
The weather forecast & the radar for their wedding day was FULL of rain. There wasn’t really supposed to be a break in it, but thankfully between the ceremony & reception the rain let up & we were able to get some portraits outside at The Lake Club! We were all so pleasantly surprised & happy.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I can’t even with these two!
Oooooweee, isn’t this dreamy?!
Again, Sweet Arrangements with the pretty flowers!
I’m pretty sure I’ll NEVER get tired of sparkles & gold!
Bake Me Treats made this elegant & beautiful cake. 
First dance goals!
Want.
Frank and his baby girl Frankie.
