Kelly & Andrew Wedding | The Barn & Gazebo in Salem, Ohio

Kelly and Andrew are married! We LOVED their wedding day at St. Christine’s & The Barn & Gazebo & these two did not stop smiling the entire time! They simply glow in one another’s presence. I think I said this in their engagement session blog post, but I really mean it! It seems like they have known each other all of their lives because the chemistry and love between them in so strong even though they’ve only known each other about a year and a half. These two both agree that “when you know, you KNOW!” We are so happy for Kelly & Andrew and we cannot wait to see what the future holds in store for their marriage! the barn & gazeboJenny from The Willows by Wehr was their wedding day florist & her floral creations always astound me! She did a wonderful, beautiful, fantastic job! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboWe love Kelly & she has the best family, which is no surprise! These are her two beautiful sisters. the barn & gazeboThat gorgeous crown was Kelly’s grandma’s for her wedding, then Kelly’s mom’s for her wedding, and then Kelly’s older sister’s for her wedding. What a beautiful, special family tradition! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboShout to Kelly’s hair stylist- The Color Cut Bar– and to her makeup artist- Elixir Beauty & Barber Shop! the barn & gazeboAndrew & Kelly both have the best smiles!

Feels! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboAnd then we kept the feels right on going with Kelly & Andrew’s first look. the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboThey are THE BEST & CUTEST! the barn & gazeboIt was a beautiful & inspiring thing to witness these two share a prayer together before walking down the aisle & committing to one another for life. A cord of three strands is not easily broken & these two understand that well.
the barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboLoving the lace so much! Kelly’s gorgeous gown is from Jacqueline’s Bridal in Poland & Kelly found the flower girl dress online. . . twinning! the barn & gazeboThis cutie told me later that she had butterflies in her tummy as she walked down the aisle, but she was brave. She smiled the entire way & she did a fabulous job throwing petals. So adorable! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboThese two were so obviously the happiest people on the planet that day! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboSuch wonderful, loving, supportive families! We love when the couple wants a family photo with both “sides.” They’re all family once the knot is tied! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboWe love weddings at The Barn & Gazebo! Nancy & Chris (the owners) are welcoming & lovely people & the food is amazing. The barn seemed even more inviting with its warmth and twinkling lights on the chilly November day. the barn & gazeboThis bridal party needs a gold star for braving the cold wind with us that day! None of them complained a bit & they were all gracious & fun! Thank you guys for being amazing! And thank you so much for your cooperation so we could get you all out of the elements as quickly as possible! We think this may have been a new record for fastest bridal party portraits & we got a ton of great ones because you all were wonderful to work with!

I mean. . . how sweet is that?! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboThen we got to photograph these two newlyweds & it was magical (I know I also said that during their engagement session, but I can’t help it because it’s true)! We loved celebrating this joyful day with them! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebo“November is the pearl-grey month, the changeling between warm crimson October and cold white December; the month when the leaves fall in slow drifting whirls and the shapes of the trees are revealed. When the earth imperceptibly wakes and stretches her bare limbs and displays her stubborn unconquerable strength before she settles uneasily into winter. November is secret and silent.” -Alison Uttleythe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboThese photos make us so happy & we truly hope that they’ll bring Kelly & Andrew and their family joy for decades upon decades! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboI’m envisioning this one on a big canvas! the barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazebothe barn & gazeboEverything looked lovely!
