Engagement: Anthony & Ryann

 {Inniswood Metro Gardens in Westerville, Ohio}

Anthony and Ryann…great smiles and easy to be around.  Their engagement session…sunlight, flowers, unique nooks and crannies.  I love photographing couples that are in love!

As always, the couples can explain themselves the best.  This is what Anthony and Ryann had to say…Anthony, what do you love about Ryann?  “I love her kindness and generosity, as well as her passion for helping others.  Also, her love for animals!”  Ryann, tell me what you love about Anthony. “I love his giving heart and gentle manner. He’s also honest, loyal, and puts up with me! He’s the total package.”

Anthony and Ryann are planning a December wedding.  I am already looking forward to it!  Ryann told me she’s hoping for snow to take pictures outdoors–I would love that!

Inniswood Gardens has so many unique places. One such spot is the Secret Garden. Notice in the picture on the right that there are marbles in the mortar between the bricks.

Wedding: Stephen & Amber

Stephen and Amber had a beautiful spring day for their wedding.  Amber was super organized and no detail went unnoticed, as you will see in some of the pictures below!  Stephen and Amber chose to take their pre-ceremony pictures in Marysville, which was a great setting.  An extra special touch to the ceremony was Stephen’s grandpa officiating the ceremony and performing the wedding vows.  The outdoor reception entailed many details, delicious food, and wonderful desserts!  Congratulations, Stephen & Amber!

Special thanks to Deborah Beachy of DGPhotography for assisting me for the day!

Wedding Pic Braiding a Cord

Instead of the traditional lighting of a unity candle, Stephen and Amber braided a cord of three strands representing both of them and the Lord.
