Niles, OH Wedding PhotographyI met Emma & her bridesmaids at her parents’ home in Niles for some preparation photos. Her cutie dog, Penny, was there to help Emma get ready for the big day!
Niles, OH Wedding PhotographyOnce the ladies were ready to go, we headed to McKinley Memorial Library for some bridesmaids photos. Fierce!
Niles, OH Wedding PhotographyI could have photographed Emma all day, but she kind of wanted to walk down the aisle and get married. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Niles, OH Wedding PhotographyThe bridal party piled into the limo bus & headed back to the McKinley Memorial for more photos.
Niles, OH Wedding PhotographyThen we stole the bride & groom away for their own creative photo session. It’s almost always the most “alone” the couple is on their wedding day. Of course, we’re there shooting, but we always attempt to make the session seem as private as possible so the couple can steal a few short moments together as new husband and wife.
