Saturday was the first day of Erica & Andrew’s happily ever after & we got to photograph all of the fun, emotion, joy, and love that’ll make up their wedding album & lifelong memories that they’ll pass down from generation to generation for decades to come. . . how blessed are we?! Seriously! We get to meet & get to know the most wonderful couples & we’re so very grateful! Erica & Andrew are fun & silly & love to adventure together- right now they’re in Hawaii & we’re only slightly jealous. Their Squaw Creek wedding was stunning! The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony & their navy & blush color palette was lovely! The best part, though, was that their love for each other shone through in their smiles ALL day & they were both so happy to be celebrating alongside their closest friends & family members. It was a pleasure to celebrate along with everyone who loves Erica & Andrew so much.
Erica got her dress at Toula’s Bridal in Canfield & she looked downright amazing in it! I loved all the flowy layers!
The guys were getting ready at Squaw Creek & Josh was there to tell the story of the day from Preparations all the way through Turnt Up on the Dance Floor. That’s always one of our goals on wedding days- telling the story in a series of moments captured. We’re there from those moments of hanging with your friends getting ready for the day all the way through the fun & partying! 
Erica got her hair & makeup done at Sicilian’s Salon (hair by Keli & makeup by Marina).
Andrew & the guys got their tuxes at Men’s Wearhouse. Andrew was set apart as the groom with a jacket while the rest of the guys wore vests.
That blue is sharp! 
Erica & her bridesmaids were absolutely cracking me up at the salon. They are so much fun! 
Her beautiful mama got to help her into her dress at the Avalon Inn.
Picturesque spot for a wedding ceremony, no?
These kiddos were so adorable & well behaved! Props to their parents for raising them to be kind & polite little humans! 
Here comes the bride! Even though we’ve photographed almost 200 weddings, I still get giddy & emotional during so many moments on wedding days. It’s all about the LOVE & the people. . . love stories get me every time! 
All of the little kids at the pool were looking on admiringly. For them to take a break from swimming on a hot summer day it had to be something special. . . Erica turned some heads with her beauty & her bright smile that day, that’s for sure! Since I was shooting her and her dad walking down the aisle from the back, I could hear the little girls squealing, “There’s the bride!” when she came walking up. So sweet. And Josh was down in front for the processional to get these excited & happy smiles from Erica & her dad as they walked toward Andrew. Gorgeous is all I have to say! 
This might be one of my favorite shots ever. You can feel the pride & love from every single parent of the bride & groom.
Their ceremony was beautiful; their officiant did a great job.
The happiest two people on earth on June 02, 2018!
PMG Chocolatier was their florist & event planner.
I can’t even get over how pretty Erica is! 
And we love how sweet, comfortable, and darling these two are together! We got to zip around the golf course at Squaw Creek in a golf cart behind them & stop along the way to take portraits in the prettiest spots with glowy light. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Erica & Andrew just becoming husband & wife! 
Every girl should have a husband who looks at her the way Andrew looks at Erica. Seriously, so swoon-worthy! 
Their navy & blush decor was elegant & definitely popped along with Damon’s uplighting.
Das Dutch Haus made their wedding cake.
Their wedding reception was phenomenal! Their DJ was Damon from D&R Audio & he did a fabulous job, as always. We love working with him because he’s fun, professional, and always plays songs to get people dancing! Not to mention his uplighting sets an awesome ambiance in any space.
We snuck out for some golden hour portraits, which is ALWAYS a great idea! There’s just something about golden hour that makes for romantic & pretty portraits!
Gah, these two! 
Told you guys Damon gets the crowd movin!
