ASHLEY+JEFF

DAYTON, OHIO WEDDING | ST. HELENS CATHOLIC CHURCH + POLEN FARMS

Ashley & Jeff had a fantastic fall wedding! They were soo fortunate to have a perfect fall day, cool, crisp air, blue sky and sunshine! When I heard Ashley’s vision for a vintage inspired barn wedding in the fall, I was soo excited!! It came together SOO well….with tons of great details, meaningful touches, great style, the perfect amount of rusticness and vintage flair…in an incredible barn, within an overall gorgeous setting! Ashley & Jeff were also soo easy going and relaxed…I was super impressed! They were just going with the flow, enjoying the day, taking it all in! It can be hard to do that on your wedding day…but it really does help you take the day in if you are able to just relax and enjoy it…and Ashley & Jeff did JUST that!! While the overall theme was more vintage…we decided to mix it up and get funky by stopping at a graffiti wall for some fun wedding party shots! And what a fun wedding party they had!! It was crazy and fun…just the way I like it! As the sun was setting, I went outside to take a few images of the barn at sunset and as the warm light of the candle & twinkle lit reception inside poored out of the barn doors, with the music playing and everyone dancing and having a great time inside…I couldn’t help but think that it just doesn’t get much better than this on a fall evening!! Ashley & Jeff…you are both great and I loved getting to share your wedding with you! I’m soo glad that it was soo perfect!! I wish you days just like that (with the wedding part! ha!)…for the rest of your life! :)

ALLISON+TIM

INDIANAPOLIS WEDDING | ST. JOHN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH + JW MARRIOTT

This has been a highly anticipated wedding for me!! There are soo many reasons….I knew it was going to be a spectacular wedding from the minute I met with Allison and heard about it, also because I fell in love with Allison & Tim and their family right away and I was soo excited to be able to share this day with them, because they had a fantastic vendor team of great friends of mine, because it was my first wedding at the JW Marriott in Indy since it’s opening…the list goes on for why I couldn’t wait for this wedding!! It was all that I hoped it would be and SOO SOOO MUCH more!! Allison and Tim are such completely awesome people….I clicked with them right away and I hope we will be friends for a long time! They are just natural, easy people to love….and they adore each other in such a sweet, thoughtful way. They were surrounded by wonderful friends and family on their day, they were blessed with an incredible, 85 degree day in October with the bluest sky and warm sun, they were perfectly nervous and happy, excited and full of joy, embracing the day fully and having such a fantastic time! They planned one incredible wedding, as well…with an awesome decor plan, such attention to detail, lots of meaningful elements, all done with such love! It was soo special and such a wonderful wedding to be a part of!! Allison & Tim…you have a special place in my heart and I wish you both a lifetime of warm love and true joy!!
