Tabatha & Dustin’s Late August Youngstown, Ohio Wedding

Yay! We get to share a beautiful and fun wedding on the blog with you today! Tabatha and Dustin are a fun-loving, spontaneous, joyful couple & we are so grateful we got to celebrate with them this past weekend! Their wedding was at a church in Leetonia, which is where they’re both from and their reception was at The Embassy. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and the entire day was all about fun & love! Tabatha jokes that she knew of Dustin basically their entire lives throughout school. And then all of Dustin’s friends joke that Dustin finally noticed Tabatha when she over-served him working at B-Dubs. Either way, they’re madly in love and have the most adorable 2 year old daughter- and they’re married! So let’s see all of the pretty, shall we?! These are just a few of our favorites from the day & we cannot wait to share the rest with Tabatha & Dustin! mill creek park weddingmill creek park weddingThis would be the absolutely adorable Athena, the beautiful and spunky daughter of this stunningly gorgeous bride! mill creek park weddingmill creek park weddingWhile I was hanging out with the bride & bridesmaids, Josh was hanging out with the groom & groomsmen as they got ready for the day.mill creek park weddingReppin’ those Rondinelli Tuxes!mill creek park weddingmill creek park weddingmill creek park weddingmill creek park weddingWhen Athena saw her daddy she yelled “Daddy!” and sprinted down the aisle.

And she is so darn cute! mill creek park weddingThe Embassy looked lovely & all of the details were put together so well.Then they arrived for the party! Their first dance was choreographed & it was a huge surprise to everyone. No one knew except us, the DJ, and the videographer (I think…maybe someone else was in on the secret, but I don’t think so). Speaking of the videographer, she was really easy to work with and super sweet. Her name is Hannah Dye if you want to look up her work & FB page. Athena was living her best life all day without a doubt.She even sneaked in while her dad was removing her mom’s garter, which every single person in the crowd thought was hilarious. It was a hoot.And this was a party if we ever saw one. DJ Nick from D&R did a great job.Tabatha & Dustin, CONGRATS again! You two are a force to be reckoned with and a great team! We are definitely looking forward to seeing what your future will hold together & to Athena ruling the world some day. . . we know that’s a given with her fiery personality. Thanks again for trusting us with these once-in-a-lifetime memories! We had a wonderful time with you guys!

If you’re new to our blog, hi! Welcome! We’re Josh & Danielle, a husband and wife wedding photography duo based in Columbiana, Ohio! We photograph weddings in the Youngstown, Ohio area mostly, but we are also in Pittsburgh & Cleveland pretty often, too. We love traveling to different states for weddings, also, and would truly love to chat with you if you’re planning a wedding for 2020. We realized early in our photography business that we connect with couples & love being able to tell the story of the first day of their marriage. When we aren’t photographing weddings together, you can find us with our toddlers (a girl and a boy two years apart) and our two pugs (a boy and a girl 8 years apart & wrinkly as ever).
