Andrea and Tyler are an absolute match made in heaven. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful couple for a few years and I was so honored when they asked me to photograph their day. We decided to do their engagement photos at Blue Hen Falls in Brecksville. It’s a beautiful part of the Summit County Metro Parks which includes a waterfall! Did I mention their pups went with us?!

Okay, on to the wedding day!

I’ll admit that I got a little carried away with details. They were too beautiful—can you blame me?! We had a very relaxed schedule for this day so we had plenty of time for fun and experimenting to get perfect photos. Fun Fact: this is also the first time I introduced the ring drop between shoes (third row, second down) and now it’s one of my most-requested photos!

I’m sure you can tell, but this bridal party was an absolute blast! I was fresh from an awesome wedding workshop (what’s up, Steel and Flint Society?!) that really renewed my love for weddings and gave me tons of creative ideas.

Did I mention we’re family friends with these cuties? This was one of my favorite ceremonies because I loved seeing the families come together and celebrate. I’ve been fortunate to watch this couple grow. When the officiant asked the audience (congregation? crowd?) if they promised to love and support this couple I proudly joined in, “we do!!”

The reception was a party to remember! My favorite part was when the DJ got everyone dancing through the party line. We danced the night away. They even had a photo booth set up!

Thank you for making me part of your big day, Andrea + Tyler! I’m cheering for you in all you do together!
