First, we conclude my October 2022 with a visit to this amazing country club once again. What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Fall weddings? Everything dear reader, everything.

Ever wanted to attend a Stan Hywet Wedding ceremony? Envision this: you are surrounded by the most serene Fall foliage, stone backdrops, calming water ponds, and the mansion itself. You walk in, find your seat and a string quartet plays the most delightful, peaceful music. As the couple walks down the aisle, around a pond, […]

To me, hotel weddings are the equivalent to a blank canvas. You can take any ballroom and splash all the fun to make it your own. Lexi and Nick’s Hilton Fairlawn Wedding did just that. They took this big empty space and filled it full of gold, white and purple accents. Their florals had hints […]

Friday weddings should receive a bit more of the spotlight in the wedding circuit. Just because it happens on a day of the week doesn’t mean it’s any less full of energy and love.

A springtime wedding at Firestone Country Club holds a very special place in my heart. Actually, all Akron, Ohio weddings do. First, the clouds come out and play a dance along the lake that feels like magic. Then, there is cool crisp cleanliness in the air that creates a sense of newness. Francesca and Travis’ […]

A Fairlawn Country Club Wedding makes my heart pound with excitement. I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up a few streets away, or if it’s because the outside architecture is a photographer’s dream! First, any venue that has it all right there is worth visiting when it comes to planning a wedding. They […]
