We had a wedding this past weekend! It had been one of the longest stretches we’ve gone in ten years without a wedding (thanks, pandemic) and we were excited to see such a joyful and fun-loving couple! Haley and Jared have been together for 12 years and they are absolutely adored by their family and friends! And why not?! They’re a blast to be around, they’re amazing individuals with lots of accomplishments to their credit, and they are humble and kind. They both have servant’s hearts and we’re really excited to see how marriage will bless their lives. Their wedding day that they had been planning for so long was nothing like they originally thought it would be, but that didn’t steal their joy! They and their family members and friends celebrated pandemic-style and it was a beautiful day filled with a congratulatory spirit. 
Stambaugh Auditorium is such a classic and elegant venue at which we always love to photograph weddings! Haley & Jared’s black tie style for their wedding day fit perfectly with the vibe of the venue. And we have to give props to the staff at Stambaugh for doing a great job of abiding by social distancing guidelines while also allowing the event to be beautiful and enjoyable.
Sin Pretty Beauty did a gorgeous job with hair and makeup, as they always do! 
While I was with the bride at Doubletree in Youngstown, Josh was with the guys at Jared’s parents’ home.
Haley’s Stella York gown from Stephanie Leigh Bridal in Girard was jaw-dropping and she looked STUNNING in it! 
I mean, WOW! This is a candid moment as she got into her dress and she looks like bridal perfection! 
Green’s Floral in Hubbard did a great job with florals.
The social distancing setup in Christman Hall- 
You can’t look at Haley & Jared looking at each other and not believe in love. 🙂 
They had a drive-by receiving line…
Once we met Haley’s & Jared’s families, we understood where they got their awesomeness. 🙂
They are all such kind and loving people.
Guys looking quite dapper in their ensemble from The Black Tux Shop.
And this bridal party was so much fun! They were truly there for Haley & helped the wedding day go smoothly. 
This reminds me of a fairytale.
And their smiles are just heartwarming, no?
Their original reception plan changed due to the pandemic, and the Post Office Pub in Mineral Ridge stepped up and allowed the wedding day celebration to continue with a lovely dinner.
They did get to share their first dance as husband and wife, which was extremely special and full of laughter.
Cakes by Tammy made this beaut. 
Haley & Jared, CONGRATULATIONS! It was inspiring to see how you took every challenge you faced in stride together and we’re very happy for you! We can’t wait to see what amazing things your future holds in store! Thanks again for choosing us to photograph your wedding day and we hope you know you’re stuck with us as your photographers for the rest of your lives. 🙂
