We’re so happy we get to share Amanda & Ryan’s beautiful wedding day with you on the blog today! We photographed the wonderful first day of their marriage at The Lake Club in Poland, Ohio on Friday & we couldn’t wait to share our favorite images! These two people are oh-so-in-love & giddily happy together. Their friends were so much fun to hang out with & the reception was an amazingly great time finished off by the grand finale of a sparkler sendoff. Amanda & Ryan added so many personal touches to their wedding day to make it extra special & we absolutely loved getting to photograph the love & share in the celebration of such a happy day! Plus, we love photographing weddings at The Lake Club! They have the perfect picturesque outdoor setting for wedding ceremonies & their food is phenomenal. Not to mention, we adore their event coordinator JoAnn! All in all, we have one word for this wedding day- FANTASTIC!
Amanda & her beautiful bridesmaids had their hair & makeup done at Icon Studio in Poland. They all looked amazing! 
Amanda was a gorgeous bride & I loved her cathedral veil.
While I was with the ladies, Josh was with the groom & groomsmen. We love how well our husband & wife dynamic works on wedding days, if we do say so ourselves. hehe.
This was just too funny not to share. Ryan got a little lint roll of his beard so he’d be looking extra fresh. 
Ryan got his lovely bride some new perfume so she’d have a special wedding day scent to wear. So sweet. He also wrote her a really romantic card. Amanda was all smiles.
The weather on their wedding day was a little iffy at times, but it honestly worked out perfectly & for the best that it was overcast during their ceremony & that it rained for a bit after we were finished with bride & groom portraits because then there was a BEAUTIFUL rainbow (that you’ll see in some pretty photos later). We prefer overcast days for outdoor ceremonies because there is less squinting, more even light on everyone’s faces, and it makes the colors POP! 
Are these two flower girl sisters in flower crowns not THE sweetest?! Oh my goodness.
This little guy decided he was OUTTA there. lol!
But then he came sprinting back down the aisle toward his daddy. Too cute.
Of course, Eider was part of the day! He was a hoot during Amanda & Ryan’s engagement session & we were excited to get to see him again on the wedding day in his dapper doggy necktie.
Brides definitely make an entrance at The Lake Club coming down those stairs with all eyes on them! 
We love that we get two unique perspectives of all of the special moments of the wedding ceremony! 
This moment was right after Amanda & Ryan had walked over to do their dove release. Not all guys would even notice that their bride’s veil needed adjusted, but Ryan took initiative & helped her out. That’s when you know you have a keeper! 
These ladies slayed! And those sequin & blush gowns from Jacqueline’s Bridal- WOW! Love! And Riverview Flowers in East Liverpool was the wedding day florist.
We love how they laugh together. They are so cute! 
One of Amanda’s requests for the day was lots of veil photos & we were happy to make that happen with her long, gorgeous veil! 
And the back of her dress? So good! 
Sweet Arrangements did the ceiling treatment, which definitely added so much romance & loveliness to the dance floor! 
The rose gold sequins were my favorite part! Everything looked gorgeous! 
The sweets table was a hit with all of the guests! 
Das Dutch Haus made the wedding cake, which perfectly matched the wedding day decor.
Amanda’s mom had this very special ring made for Amanda with her birthstone & pieces from a ring that had belonged to her grandmother.
And Amanda carried photos of her grandmother & her grandfather with her down the aisle on her bridal bouquet. 
When it was time for the party, DJ Brian Price cranked up the jams & did a great job as MC. We loved how silly & fun Amanda’s parents are! 
The flower girls couldn’t resist joining these two for a bit during their first dance, which was really sweet.
When the rainbow happened, we were so excited! What a perfect & beautiful gift from God to enjoy on your wedding day! 
These two are just lovely! What a whirlwind of an amazing & beautiful wedding day! And this was the perfect ending to a gorgeous day!
