Planning for a wedding to be outdoors is always a gamble with the weather, much less planning for it in October when the weather in Ohio could be cold and frosty!  But for Brian and Amanda their day in October turned out to be absolutely beautiful, if not even a bit hot!

Amanda is sweet-spirited and spontaneous.  Brian, at first glance, appears to be quiet and reserved, but once you get to know him one can easily see that he also has a fun-loving, spontaneous side which complements Amanda perfectly!

Although, from two different worlds, well, actually the states of Ohio and Kansas J, Brian and Amanda chose to have their wedding in Ohio with the future plans of settling on a farm in Kansas.  For some of their portraits they chose to use a local, restored covered bridge.  This location was special to them, because they would occasionally visit the bridge while dating and then Brian chose to propose to Amanda at the bridge!

Brian and Amanda, thank you for the privilege of sharing in your day!

Special thanks to Marlisa Beachy for assisting me for the day!  She captures some great shots!

Pretty eyes!

The details of their day were simple and yet beautifully coordinated. Many of them were DYI (Do It Yourself) and turned out great! These personalized tea bags were on the reception tables.

One of my favorites!

They didn't have just "one" wedding cake they had many cupcakes!

Cutting the "cupcake!"
