Christina & Scott Wedding | St. Columba Cathedral | Antone’s Banquet Centre | Youngstown Wedding Photographer

Christina & Scott enjoyed a gorgeous Autumn wedding day featuring the most beautiful details that made Antone’s Banquet Centre feel warm and cozy. Neither of them could’ve smiled more on that day. Their joy radiated throughout St. Columba Cathedral as they said, “I do.” Their family members & friends were all so happy to enjoy the celebration, and we were so honored that Christina & Scott chose us to photograph the love! christina_scott_fbchristina_scott_insta_0001I started the day with the bride & her bridesmaids at the Holiday Inn in Boardman. Karisa from Smack did a fabulous job with bridal makeup! She’s a sweetheart & (totally unrelated to makeup) is the most adorable pregnant lady. . . we’re excited to see photos of that baby boy once he makes his grand entrance! This is purely an aside, but we are so thankful for all of the beautiful people that being part of the wedding industry in Youngstown has brought into our life! Speaking of that, we got to work that day with our friends Mike & Judy from Acclaim Wedding Videography & they do a fabulous job and are wonderful to work with!
