NATASHA and DOUG-Wedding at Alley Park

Here is a preview of Natasha and Doug's beautiful wedding at Alley Park here in Lancaster. Alley Park is one of the most beautiful locations in the area for a wedding. You may remember Natasha and Doug's beautiful color in their engagement photos a month or so ago that we did at Hargus Lake. Their wedding colors and decor carried out this whole autumn theme perfectly. Since we got the best of the best for the engagement session, it took a little work to find some awesome fall color actually left on the trees. We did manage to find some, though. Natasha and her bridesmaid's bouquets definitely helped add some color to the day--and the decorating of the Alley Park Lodge and the tables was perfect!

We had a nice warm day(for November anyway) day to get outside for most of the photos--which always makes me happy. I love shooting outside--and just love Alley Park in general. It was a beautiful day, a beautiful wedding, and a wonderful(and gorgeous) couple--who are a perfect match. It was a perfect way to complete my wedding season for this year! I loved being a part of the celebration and wish them years and years of happiness!

KRISTIN and ERIC-Wedding

Kristin and Eric's wedding day was a day filled with lots of beautiful touches. From the red accents on everything from Kristin's dress & the flowers to the reception with red decor and the accents on the cake. It was also a day filled with joy and it was shared with all of their family and friends. Eric and Kristin have been together since high school and this day was anticipated by so many--and Kristin and Eric didn't let them down. The ceremony was very beautiful and personal and gave all of the guests a bit of insight into Kristin and Eric's long relationship(for those who haven't known them throughout the relationship).

After the ceremony, we took some photos on the beautiful grounds of their church and then it was off for dinner and the party at one of the most unique venues in Columbus, The Valley Dale Ballroom. The Valley Dale is a beautiful, old, historic ballroom(in case you're not familiar) and has been updated, yet keeps it's original beauty and charm. After dinner, the party started and didn't miss a beat. What a beautiful day--I hope all of Kristin and Eric's days will be filled with as much love and beauty as their wedding day!

SARAH and TRAVIS-Wedding at Tall Timbers

Sarah and Travis had an absolutely incredible day for their wedding. The wedding and ceremony were at Tall Timbers in Reynoldsburg. The ceremony was outdoors and it could not have been a more beautiful day. After the ceremony we did some more photos, then headed in for lunch and the celebration. Since we were a little crunched for photo time after the ceremony, I convinced Sarah, Travis and the wedding party to head outside for a few more photos while everyone else finished up. I think it was well worth the extra time and effort. We got some great romantic photos under the trees and at the playground at the church next door, then we got them back in to share in the rest of the day's festivities and dancing Everyone was such a pleasure to work with--we really enjoyed the day. I hope every day is as beautiful as your wedding day!

Angela and Rusty-Wedding at The Whetstone Park of Roses

Angela and Rusty's wedding was at The Whetstone Park of Roses at 8:30 a.m. It was so peaceful and serene--with very few other people there. Having their wedding that early in the morning had lots of other perks also--first & foremost they were able to beat the heat and humidity that we've had every day. Since it was so early and there were few people in the park, we were able to make our way around the park after the ceremony and take tons of photos--without having to work around other people in the park. We definitely took advantage of that--we hit all of the prettiest areas throughout the park. I took a ton of photos!

They had their parents attend, and a friend of Angela's performed the ceremony. It was short and sweet, but still very personal. It was a beautiful way to spend the morning. After the wedding and photos, Angela and Rusty were off to a couple's massage and brunch. They celebrated with friends later that evening.
